Viks Casino Review

IN A NUTSHELL

Viks Casino burst onto the scene back in 2016 with a beautifully crisp site packed to the rafters with the latest and best casino games.

The casino’s name is a shortening of Vikings, but you’ll find little of the fearsome traits that define the legendary Norse warriors. They do appear in various images around the site, but the team behind the brand have promised to bring a modern, amiable Viking to the casino world — and ‘friendly’ is certainly the order of the day when you visit the site.

Everything is just so neat and tidy that you’ll be whizzing around the various features of the casino in double quick time. Even the white colour scheme is welcoming and helps make an excellent first impression. From there, you can navigate your way through the games selection and other functions with the minimum of fuss thanks to handy shortcuts and prominent thumbnails.

You have hundreds of slots to choose from and you can even filter by ‘Provider’ so it’s easy to find your favourites. Throw in an excellent mobile casino and an extensive number of live games and you have a complete casino package that will keep you occupied for ages. We’ve only been playing at Viks Casino for less than a week at the time of writing, but we already feel like it has been around for years.

WELCOME BONUS

A casino needs to make a splash when it first appears on the scene, and the most obvious way of tempting new players to sign up and spin is the introduction of a juicy welcome bonus package. Viks take a traditional route with the sort of double whammy you will have seen elsewhere.

The bonus is nice and easy to understand and even easier to snap up. Just sign up, make your first deposit of at least 20 (or currency equivalent) and input Viks Casino bonus code VC200E to receive a cash match 100% bonus up to 200 along with 15 free spins to start you off on the right foot.

You’ll also receive additional bonuses with further deposits:

• 100% up to 300 + 20 MegaSpins (worth 1 each) on Gonzo’s Quest with your 2nd Deposit. Bonus code: VC300E
• 100% up to 500 with your 3rd deposit (with a deposit of at least 100). Bonus code: W500

OTHER BONUSES

There are no recurring weekday promotions as things stand at Viks, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be treated to some goodies on a regular basis. Frequent ad hoc promotions will deliver some great bonuses directly to your inbox, including free spins, cash match reloads, raffle entries and more. Just keep your eye on both your messages and the promotions tab on the Viks Casino site to make sure that you don’t miss out!

SOFTWARE PROVIDER

The variety at Viks Casinos is really impressive, especially for such a newcomer. They have buddied up with industry giants like Microgaming, NetEnt, Play n’ Go and IGT (Wagerworks) amongst others to ensure that players have plenty of choice, no matter what their preferences are. Navigation is easy and site is really slick so you won’t find yourself waiting around for pages to load as you move around the various sections. Even the live casino games are quick to boot up and with plenty of those to choose from, you will be well looked after if you enjoy a bit of real life human interaction while playing online!

JACKPOTS

There are 16 jackpot games already in stock at Viks at the time of writing — that’s a lot for such a new casino. Record breaking slots like Mega Moolah and Mega Fortune have grabbed the headlines over recent years by turning ordinary players into instant millionaires and they are joined by other big bucks pooled jackpot games such as Hall of Gods, Arabian Nights, the Dark Knight and King Cashalot here. Local jackpot games from NetEnt, MicroGaming and Play n Go round out the complete list to ensure you have plenty of chances to win big at Viks.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

We love how the payments section of Viks casino is so informative yet easy to understand. The design team have listed out every method offered in one easy grid, which lets you see how quickly payments will be processed, any associated fees (all deposit methods are free and there are negligible fees applicable to withdrawals) and transaction limits. It’s one of the best designed payments sections we have seen at any online casino, and an absolute piece of cake to use.

Importantly, there are loads of different methods to choose from when you are ready to transfer your cash. eWallets, card payments and instant banking options are all well represented by well known names like Neteller, Trustly, Skrill, Visa, Mastercard and Giropay. Withdrawals to e-Wallets are instant with a short waiting period expected if you instruct your cash out by card or transfer.

MOBILE CASINO

Creating a new online casino is perhaps more of a task than it once was these days. Whereas design teams could concentrate on the design of a desktop casino alone back in the day, they will need to replicate their work for the ever growing mobile market if they want to keep up with peers these days. Viks have done so, by creating a wonderful version for iOS and Android users. That means you can play a wide selection of casino games from your iPad, iPhone, smart phone or tablet by signing up with Viks.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Viks impress again when it comes to customer service. Support is available in five different languages and live chat is open 7 days a week (9am-10pm weekdays; 9am-8pm on weekends) with plans for further expansion of the service in the pipeline. Even more impressive, there are four different phone lines — one each for English. German, Swedish and Finnish — as well as a dedicated email address so you can seek help in loads of different ways as and when you need it.

SUMMARY

We’re really impressed by what we have seen of Viks so far. They have created a site that’s easy to use, a games selection that offers lots of variety and a customer service system that has something for everyone. It’s also refreshing to see a new casino offer so much information in such crystal clear terms. Sign up today to snap up your welcome bonus and see if you find at a new favourite at Viks Casino.
