Website UX & Registration 8/10

Aspire Global sites are all very similar – if you’ve played at others on the network, Luckster will feel familiar to you. It comes wrapped up in an Irish theme, playing the ‘Luck of the Irish’ card which compliments many online slot games too. The color scheme is a striking electric-Emerald green with gold buttons, whilst the game logos stand out nicely on a white background.

One of the common aspects of these Aspire sites is that they are nicely built and very easy to navigate your way around, from sign up to deposit and gameplay. If you like simple and fun casinos, then Luckster will suit your tastes.

Finding Important Information

You can learn more about Luckster and Aspire Global by following links in the footer area of the website. There are lots of links to important information like About Us, Bonus Policy and Payment Options. These trigger popup boxes that are standard to all Aspire Global sites.

Registration and First Deposit

Sign up at Luckster is a two-step process on a form that pops up in front of the main site. It will take you a minute or two to complete and you’ll need to choose a username and password and enter all your personal details correctly including full name, date of birth, email, mobile number and postal address.

All this information is important because it allows Luckster to verify your ID, which is part of UK gambling regulation, so make sure you input the information correctly.

Finally, you will need to opt-in to the welcome bonus if you want to enjoy those free spins and match bonsues. So make sure you do or you will miss out.

Account Pages

Moving onto the account area of the website and once again, Luckster benefits from the same simple layout and easy functionality that you find on all other Aspire Global sites. The account popup shows your bonus balance and cash balance side by side down the left of the screen. By clicking the bonus balance you can get an instant breakdown of how much more wagering is required to unlock the bonus funds and winnings, which is really helpful.

Under New Bonus Offers you can also view current deals that you are eligible for. That’s worth checking out each time you log in to see if there are any bonuses for you. Elsewhere you can set your deposit limits and reality checks and view your account history, including game bets and deposits and cashouts.

In short, the clear layout makes it really easy to administer your account, your balance and available funds at Luckster.

Online Slots 8/10

Catalogue and Game Providers

The slots selection at Luckster features more than 1,000 games from more than 50 suppliers including Play n Go, Big Time Gaming, Yggdrasil, Red Tiger, Quickspin, Microgaming, NetEnt and Hacksaw Gaming. It will keep most players happy but there are some notable exceptions in the supplier list. There are no slots from Relax Gaming, Thunderkick or Push Gaming for example.

If you want a wider selection of slots from your casino you could try a White Hat Gaming site like Dream Vegas with more than 2,500 games, or an independent site like Casumo, with more than 3,000 slots.

Jackpot Slots

The Jackpots selection at Luckster is limited. You can search them out easily using the Jackpots link in the game menu which brings up a list of 47 progressive jackpots. These are all Jackpot King games from Blueprint Gaming including Eye of Horus, Goonies Return and Top Cat Most Wanted.

There are NO Mega Moolahs (Microgaming), Mega Fortunes (NetEnt) or Dream Drop Jackpots (Relax Gaming).

Again, if you are looking for a bigger selection you could try Play OJO on the Skill on Net platform which has around 360 progressives to choose from.

New Slots

There were 75 slots listed under ‘New’ at Luckster when we researched this review. Whilst there were many games that had been released in the previous month – including Ternion by Play n Go (June 8^th 2023) and Rubies of Egypt by Just for the Win (June 8^th 2023), there were also many out-of-date games that couldn’t be classed as ‘new’ by any stretch of the imagination. It’s good to know that if you choose Luckster you will have access to the newest releases, but the list definitely needed cleaning up to keep it fresh.

Megaways Slots

If Megaways is your game then you can search out a list of around 120 expanding reels slots by typing Megaways into the search bar on the game menu at Luckster. This list includes games from iSoftBet, Quickspin, Blueprint Gaming and Pragmatic Play.

This is a wider choice than we’ve seen at many other Aspire Global sites and features some classics like Genie Jackpot Megaways and Royal Mint Megaways.

Slingo Games

Again, if you want Slingo then you’ll need to search out games using the search bar. We found 33 in total, including Slingo Starburst and Slingo Money Train. If you enjoy these and want more choice you can check out our list of Slingo Sites for the UK, or go straight to BacanaPlay on the Skill on Net platform which has a list of more than 50 Slingos.

Game Menu, Search Functions and Game Window

Luckster doesn’t offer a huge amount of options when it comes to searching through those 1,000 or more slots in their list. You can filter by New, Jackpots and Featured. Or you can use the search by to find games from a favourite supplier or by game name. However, there are no categories of games like ‘high variance’ or ‘Megaways’ which would be helpful.

This is standard for Aspire Global whose sites could benefit from investment into improving this area of their platform.

Useful Tip: There is a ‘Games List’ link in the footer of the site that takes you through to a list of game suppliers and slots provided by them. You can also uses this to find your favourites.

Onto the game window and open a slot up and the it loads into the same window as the main site. There are some useful options to make a Quick Deposit without moving away from the slot you are playing, some further recommendations of games are available by hitting the star icon – top left – and you can also search out another game using the search bar – also top left. It’s all nicely presented and like the rest of the website, intuitive and easy to use.

Slots RTP at Luckster

Some slots have more than one RTP setting. In this case it is left to the operator to choose which setting to run the game on. We have verified the live RTP of 10 games that we know to have more than one RTP available to see how they compare to other slot sites.

This is what we found:

Live Dealer 8/10

If you are a fan of Live Dealer then Luckster offers you a choice of two game providers: Evolution Gaming and Authentic Gaming.

The Evolution suite is by a long way the bigger with 10,000s of players from online casinos across the globe playing at any time. This vast pool of players means Evolution open up many more tables that its rivals in their game lobby. There are 150 or more Blackjacks, 20 Roulettes, more than 50 Baccarat and Sicbos, and some of the best Gameshow formats you will find anywhere. These include popular favourites like Crazy Time and Dream Catcher.

Here is a summary of what is on offer from Evolution Gaming at Luckster:

The Authentic Gaming choice is much smaller. However, they do have real live casino streams from London and other European cities, so you can take part in real life Blackjack and Roulette which feels a bit different from the studio-based streams from Evolution.

Loyalty Promotions 7/10

Whilst Luckster doesn’t offer a bespoke loyalty program with level-ups and rewards – not many white label slot sites of this size do – they do give you access to the networked tournaments from providers like Pragmatic Play. Their Drops and Wins tournaments pay out £10,000s daily when they are running.

And in summer 2023, Spineomenal opened up a tournament of their own with a smaller prize pool of £10,000 overall. Entry is also available through Luckster.

You can also expect regular free spins and bonus deals if you play here. Check the New Bonuses link in your account pages for the latest. But if you want a more sophisticated loyalty program then our recommendation would be Play OJO which has built its reputation on fair and generous rewards for loyal customers.

Cashier Options 7/10

The cashier service at Luckster has a good choice of payment options. These include debit cards, eWallets Skrill and Paypal (but no Neteller) and MuchBetter, Trustly and Paysafecard too. The minimum deposit threshold of £10 is good, but there are fees of 2.5% on debit card deposits and 3.2% on Paypal. These fees are across all Aspire Global sites and a definite drawback of the network. Something to consider before you join.

Here is a summary of all the payment options seen in the Luckster cashier.

Payout Speed 7/10

Luckster withdrawal processing can be up to 72 hours. This is because there is no processing at weekends. If you make your withdrawal from Friday to Sunday you may be waiting longer to receive your cash.  However, from Monday to Thursday you can expect to receive your funds within 24 hours on most occasions.

Customer Support 8/10

Support is available at Luckster via both email and live chat, but not on the phone.

• Live Chat: 8am to Midnight CET
• Email: Via the contact us page – https://www.luckster.com/contact-us/

You can also search out answers to any query you have using the standard Aspire Global FAQs pages, accessible through a link in the site footer. These are quite comprehensive and useful if there is a queue to speak to a support agent.

Live chat on Aspire Global sites is generally very good. In almost all instances where I have used this service the response time has been under 2 minutes and the agent has been friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

KYC Process 8/10

KYC checks are an unavoidable part of online gambling in the UK now as the regulator insists on every customer being verified. At Aspire Global you can upload the required documents including scans of your passport, driver license and utility bills to verify your ID and address, through your account pages. This part of the process is really well designed and my documents were verified automatically within 1 minute, with no manual checks required.

NOTE: If further checks are required to verify the source of your funds as you spend more money then the process can take longer as manual checks are needed.
