BGO Casino Review

IN A NUTSHELL

Visit BGO once and it’s likely you’ll remember the fun, brash casino for a long time.

Any casino that has both Verne Troyer (best known as the loveable, if brutish, pocket-sized fiend ‘Mini Me’ in the Austin Powers film series) and Paris Hilton as figureheads is sure to stick in the memory! But it’s not just the presence of well-known faces that makes the BGO website stand out from the crowd, there is also plenty of substance behind the style.

BGO first launched back in 2012 and is now firmly established as a leading online casino, especially in the UK. Such success stories are not achieved upon marketing alone — BGO offers a vibrant, contemporary platform from which you can enjoy all the thrills of casino gameplay via an extensive games selection and an easily navigable platform.

It’s a games catalogue that can also be enjoyed from your iPad, iPhone or Android device because BGO offers a beautifully designed mobile site that perfectly caters to the biggest growing market in online gaming. The mobile casino has an intelligent design that will automatically detect your device and load an optimized version of the site for you. All you have to do is find BGO and spin away!

WELCOME BONUS

You get a nice warm welcome from BGO when you sign up with the site and make your first deposit. But best of all, you will also receive some no deposit free spins before you even submit any cash to your account. Free spins without deposit are always welcome, especially when you get a nice chunk of them to get you started. BGO certainly don’t skimp when it comes to volume — they give you a total of 20 no deposit free spins to use on Starburst.

So that’s the no deposit bonus, but how do BGO reward players when they start crediting an account with real cash? Well, the answer is a double whammy of tempting treats, including both a cash bonus and plenty more free spins upon your first deposit. You’ll get:

• A 200% bonus up to £400/ 400
• 180 free spins shared over the course of 9 days

Your free spins are redeemable at the NetEnt Jack and the Beanstalk slot, a good way to get you started in the world of slots at BGO. If that’s not enough, you also also get further 100% bonuses on deposits 2, 3 and 4 to keep you coming back for more.  All in all, it’s a really nifty, generous welcome bonus package that casino players will love.

OTHER BONUSES

BGO run regular promotional campaigns so if you stick around, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to grab yourself free spins, cash bonuses and big prizes. They also host a permanent ‘Beat the Boss’ section where you’ll find yet more bonuses alongside other tips and tricks, including a ‘Jackpot Warnings’ page, which features information on the jackpot slots that are considered the most likely to pay out.  ‘The Boss’ in question is played by Verne Troyer who pops up in an array of garish suits to help maintain the sense of mischief that is BGO’s trademark.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

The games selection at BGO is split into two sections — ‘Casino’ and ‘Vegas’.  Both these areas include slots from a number of leading providers, with Netent games at the forefront. You’ll find Netent slots in both ‘Vegas’ and ‘Casino’ but they are gathered together in a separate section called ‘Games’ too.

In addition to Netent, you will also find the very best slots from Microgaming, NextGen and IGT amongst many others.

Players can expect a smooth experience when using the BGO site. It is powered by the latest advanced technology to ensure that its pages load quickly and its games run without any major glitches. Visually, the site is designed to please and the thoroughly modern interface will keep you happy, as long as you don’t mind regular appearances from Mr Troyer and Ms Hilton of course.

JACKPOTS

Given that NetEnt has its own section at BGO, it’s a little surprising to note that none of the provider’s progressive jackpot games are hosted on the site. Any disappointment is somewhat tempered, however, by the presence of jackpot slots from other providers - and you will find the likes of Gladiator Jackpot, Beach Life and Jolly Fruits if you want to play for the really big money.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

BGO largely concentrates on the UK casino market, but it accepts players from other territories across Europe and the rest of the world as well. You can deposit using a small but secure number of the best known international payment methods, so you shouldn’t have any problems transferring money to and from your account.

The full list of payment methods consists of VISA/Mastercard, Paypal, Paysafecard, UKash, Skrill and Neteller. The BGO customer service team are on hand to help you should you encounter any problems when running through the payment process.

MOBILE CASINO

We live in an age where portable devices are king, and it didn’t take online casinos long to cotton on to the associated consumer patterns. In many ways, casino games are perfect for iPad, iPhone and Android users. Slots in particular are bright and vibrant so look great on a small screen, and games are quick and easy to play so mobile users can dip in and out of them as they please.

BGO’s mobile casino is a slick site that’s actually one of the best we’ve found. The games selection is vast and varied enough to keep players interested, the visual design is really easy on the eye and navigation is intuitive. You can also make deposits via your tablet or smart phone, allowing you to manage your account while you’re on the move.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

The easiest way to contact BGO is via live chat, which is available 7 days a week between 9:30 and 1:00 CET. Unfortunately, the chat function is not available on iPad, iPhone or Android tablets and smart phones, although you can fill in a quick and easy customer contact form when playing in the BGO mobile casino and operatives will get back to you as quickly as possible. BGO have worked hard to improve their customer care record after some early teething problems and they now offer a trusted service that can be enjoyed by all.
