Review Summary

Pub Casino gets an overall score of 3.9/5 on our scorecard. It’s a small-sized site but a reliable choice for your next casino. Before we go into the detail, here is a summary of its strengths and weaknesses based on my research.

Strengths

  • A Safe Choice – the UK betting license displayed on the Pub Casino site is a guarantee of high standards on fairness and safety. Game audits, responsible gambling tools, fair terms and conditions and player balance protection are all in place.
  • A Friendly, Reliable Service – you might not know the name behind Pub Casino but L and L Europe have been running casinos in the UK since 2011. In my opinion they top the table for customer support whilst withdrawals and KYC checks are processed quickly and efficiently.  
  • Quality Game Selection – whilst the game selection at Pub Casino might not be as expansive as you see at bigger casinos, it’s still packed with quality from exceptional suppliers at the top of their game like Nolimit City, Pragmatic Play and Big Time Gaming.
  • Available on a Mobile App – a slick app version of Pub Casino is available and delivers a super-fast gaming experience via your handset.  

Weaknesses

  • Limited Loyalty Promotions – weekly and monthly offers are limited to a few slots leaderboards, though the support team did promise us ad-hoc goodwill bonuses can drop at any time.
  • No Free Spins On First Deposit – the sign up deal is a simple one and it could be certainly be improved with a few free spins on a popular slot.

  3. If prompted, upload any ID documents to verify your details.

Sign Up Offer Terms

The sign-up deal at Pub Casino is subject to conditions that restrict your wagering and withdrawals with bonus funds. This is standard practice for casinos that want to limit their liabilities from bonuses.

Your bonus money is held separately to your cash balance. Any winnings from your bonus funds are paid onto your bonus balance. You must wager 40x the value of your qualifying deposit before the bonus balance is transferred to your cash balance. For example, if you deposit £20 and get a £20 bonus then you will need to wager £1,600 (£20+£20 x40). Only wagers with bonus funds contribute towards meeting these wagering requirements and you can only wager up to £5 per game in completing them. Should you withdraw before meeting the wagering requirements, the bonus balance is forfeited. And, at Pub Casino, only wagers on slots and slingo games contribute to the wagering requirements.

Is This A Good Deal?

Yes. A 100% match from £10 up to £100 is a good slots welcome bonus in the UK right now with reasonable wagering terms too at 40x the bonus only. The drawback of course is that there are no extras with this deal. If you are looking for an add-on and want to stick with L and L Europe you could try All British Casino where you get 10% cashback for life on top of your sign up offer.

Or, if you want free spins then you could try one of the White Hat Gaming sites like 247Bet which gives you 100% up to £247 and 100 spins on Big Bass Splash. Alternatively, if you want free spins with no wagering restrictions, try our list of no wagering free spins deals instead.

Promotions and Loyalty Program

I was surprised to see that Pub Casino has a more limited range of weekly promotions than other sites on the L and L Europe list. The support team told me that new promotions are added on an ad-hoc basis and to look out on the site for new ones each week. However, I saw no lifetime cashback – a favourite at All British Casino – and the New and Promotions page only lists a few sports events that are now over.

Here is what I did find by browsing around the site some more:

Tournaments

There is a tournament page showing on-going leaderboard promotions. At the time of writing there was one live tournament based around TV and Movie slots. Points were earned for wagering and wins and the top placed player at the end of the month won £1,000. There were also prizes for 2nd to 10th with a £2,500 total prize pool.

Pub Casino appears to run these tournaments each month with similar prize pools.

Other Bonuses

I asked the support team about a loyalty program and they said that there wasn’t one at Pub Casino but to keep checking back for good will bonuses that are occasionally offered.

The next day I received an email about a Happy Hours bonus promotion gifting 50 spins on Golden Ticket 2 for a deposit of £25 or more. This offer also appeared under the ‘Bonuses’ tab in My Account.

The loyalty and promotions program at Pub Casino is not as packed as the one you see at bigger sites like Casumo, an independent casino, or Play OJO, on the Skill on Net platform. Don’t expect deals every day but keep an eye on your inbox and the Bonuses tab in your account for ad-hoc offers.

To sum up, the loyalty and promotions program at Pub Casino is not as packed as the one you see at bigger sites like Casumo, an independent casino, or Play OJO, on the Skill on Net platform. Don’t expect deals every day but keep an eye on your inbox and the Bonuses tab in your account for ad-hoc offers.

Software and Games

7/10

Pub Casino has a very good games catalogue. It includes around 1,000 slots, jackpot games, slingos, classic table games, video pokers, live dealer tables and a sportsbook too.

You can jump between the main casino, live casino and sportsbook markets using the links at the top of the website. There are also plenty of filters to narrow down your search in the main game menu, including Popular titles and New Games. You can search by game name as well if you know what you are looking for and also use the search bar at the top of the menu to search by game provider.

Here is a summary of the main game types at Pub Casino.

Game Types

  • Slots IconSlots - Over 1,000 slots including new games, classics, Megaways, grid games, 3 reels and more
  • Megaways IconMegaways - Over 120 games with expanding reels and 100,000s paylines

Catalogue and Game Providers

Pub Casino has a limited but high-quality list of more than 20 game providers. It includes old favourites like NetEnt, Games Global and Play n Go alongside newer up and coming studios like Peter and Sons and Hacksaw Gaming. This makes for a good game list, if a little lacking in depth compared to what you find at the big independent casinos.

I’ve picked out my favourite 10 game providers from the list and listed a few of their best games here too.

Online Slots

Pub Casino offer a good variety of slots with all kinds of formats, pay models, volatility, RTP and max wins.  There are plenty of classics like Legacy of Dead, Bonanza, The Goonies and Reactoonz. But also a lot of fresh content added each month including the newest games from each provider so if you want the latest slots then Pub Casino is a good place to come to.

Elsewhere, for Megaways fans I found well over 100 of these – just put Megaways into the search bar and you’ll get the list. It includes blockbusters like Max Megaways 2 from Big Time Gaming, notable for its whopping 147,620x max payout, and Ted Megaways from Blueprint Gaming, based on the comedy film and including loads of funny clips.

A favourite game type of mine is the super high variance slots from Nolimit City and there are plenty of those to test your luck on including the asylum-based Mental 2 and the prison-themed San Quentin xWays, also notable for a huge top payout of 150,000x.

There’s too many to mention all of them but here are 10 slots from the list that I think are worth a spin. I’ve chosen a mix of formats and pay models to demonstrate the variety on offer.

Jackpot Slots

For those who want to chase down the massive progressive jackpots, Pub Casino features games from these four networks.

  • Mega Moolah (Games Global)
  • Mega Fortune (NetEnt)
  • Jackpot King (Blueprint Gaming)
  • WowPot (Games Global)

There are in the region of 50 games to select from there. Of these, the Mega Moolah is the most famous online slot jackpot with a £2,000,000 seed, sometimes reaching over £10,00,000 before it drops. I also recommend the Jackpot King slots from Blueprint Gaming which are often tagged onto some of their best games.

Here are 5 titles from the list that I recommend trying your luck on.

Live Dealer

Pub Casino has teamed up with 3 different game providers to supply its live tables – Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play and Stake Logic. These are 3 of the biggest names in the industry and each one pools players from 100s of online casinos so they are always busy and there will be plenty of tables to join. The video action is streamed direct from game studios with real croupiers dealing the cards and presenting the games.

Game options include blackjack, roulette, baccarat, sic bo, poker and tv-style gameshows. Stakes range from 10p per game up to £1,000s on the VIP tables. And you can choose between classic versions of these casino staples or ones with more bet options and features added on.

Personally, I prefer the Evolution Gaming options. The range of tables is biggest and the gameshow options, like Lighting Roulette and Monopoly Live, have 100s of players in the games at one time which only adds to the atmosphere and excitement.

Here are 10 of my favourite live games on offer at Pub Casino. If I was to pick one to play it would be Sweet Bonanza Candyland. Visually it's excellent and the bonus rounds based on the slot game are very exciting to take part in.

Live Dealer GameSupplierWhy You Should Try It
Lighting RouletteEvolution GamingThrilling roulette format with random multipliers of up to 500x
Monopoly LiveEvolution GamingHybrid live game with Dream Catcher style prize wheel and 3d Monopoly bonus round
3 Card PokerEvolution GamingSimple, fun and fast card play

Super Stake RouletteStake LogicA roulette format with bonus round featuring money wheel and a 5,000x max win
Crazy Coin FlipEvolution GamingMixing slot play and the basic coin flip gamble, this is the Crazy Time bonus round made into a game in its own right

Table Games

If you prefer the classic video game versions of traditional table games then you can browse to the Table Games section of the site. There you’ll find 28 blackjack, roulette, baccarat and solitaire games. This is only a small selection but that is not unusual for online casinos these days as most players prefer the thrill of live dealer instead.

Table games at Pub Casino include 3d blackjack, 10p roulette, Vegas Strip Blackjack, Casino Solitaire and 3d baccarat.

Other Games

The focus is primarily on slots and live casino but there are other gaming options at Pub Casino. These include video poker, slingos, scratchcards, plinkos, dice, noughts and crosses and bingo. You can find these mainly under the Casual Games category.

I was impressed with the collection of Slingos on offer. There are around 60 and they cover the full back catalogue going back to early titles like Slingo Riches alongside more recent releases like Slingo Shodown and Book of Slingo.  

Website and App Experience

8/10

Following in the tradition of ‘localised’ casino brands that L and L Europe specialise in, Pub Casino takes its inspiration from the great British tradition of high street pubs. With scant regard for guidelines around gambling and drinking the backdrop to Pub Casino is a bartop with beer taps and a craft beer can displaying the sign-up offer.

Pub Casino Home Screen

It’s a nice gimmick and will appeal to many UK punters. Behind the image this is a standard L and L site which means it is functional and easy to find your way around. The color tone is a little weird – sepia throughout – and colors only appear when you roll over a game logo and then the site comes to life. But overall, it carries off the pub vibe nicely whilst also making the games and important information pages easy to find.

Download The Pub Casino Mobile App

Pub Casino is also available on a mobile app that you can download from the App Store or from Google Play. I installed it on my phone. It took less than a minute and I could log on and play all the same games and with the same log in as the website. The app requires iOS 14.0 or later which came out in 2020.

Banking

8/10

The selection of payment options at Pub Casino is good, covering all the most popular options. Here you can deposit and withdraw with debit cards, Paypal, Skrill, Trustly, Paysafecard or Apple Pay. The minimum deposit is just £10 and the same applies to withdrawals. There are no fees.

Here is a summary of the deposit and withdrawal services.

Payout Speed

On the website Pub Casino state that withdrawal processing takes 1 working day. In my own experience of L and L Europe casinos it is often much quicker than that. In fact, I’ve had withdrawals processed by their team in just over 2 hours before.

Once Pub Casino has processed your withdrawal, how quickly you receive your money is down to your payment provider. eWallet services like Paypal and Skrill make the funds available immediately but a debit card transaction may take up to 5 days to appear on your balance.

Know Your Customer (KYC) Checks

All betting sites operating under a UK license must carry out KYC checks on all their customers. These are to verify the player’s age, ID, address and source of funds as well as to check that they are spending within their means.

There are two sorts of checks that Pub Casino will carry out during the lifetime of a customer and to their credit they are very transparent about how this works.

Soft checks are made behind the scenes using Experian, a 3rd party verification company, when you register. All your personal details are checked against publicly held data to prevent fraud and underage gambling.

Formal document checks are then made when your total deposits or withdrawals reaches £1,400. These require you to send photos or scans of one or more of the following documents:

  • Driver license or passport
  • Bank statement or utility bill
  • Bank card
  • Payslip

If these checks are needed then you will be informed on email, then you can upload the documents securely via your account page under the ‘Verification’ link.

Whilst KYC checks are unpopular amongst gamblers it’s worth remembering that measures like these are what keep the industry safe in the UK and to their credit, Pub Casino are more open about how it works than other operators we know.

Customer Support

9/10

In my opinion Pub Casino and the other L and L Europe sites have one of the best support teams in the industry. They are available via all the main channels – live chat, email and phone – and every interaction I have had with them has been good. Response times are excellent, usually just a minute or two on live chat, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Contacting Support

  • Email (24/7)support@pubcasino.co.uk
  • Live Chat (24/7) – via the Support link – you must be logged in
  • Phone Support – 00 44 1223 931493
  • FAQs – via the website footer

Player Protection and Trust

8/10

Pub Casino operates under the conditions of a license issued by the UK Gambling Commission. This body sets out strict standards to ensure all betting sites are safe, secure and fair places to gamble. The following features all help to achieve that goal.

Responsible Gambling Tools - Pub Casino has published a Responsible Gambling page on its website outlining all the tools available to its customers to self-regulate their gambling. There is also information about typical signs of problem gambling and charities and helplines that provide support.

The following gambling tools are available under ‘Limit’s on the My Account page.

  • Deposit Limits – set limits on your total deposits by day, week or month
  • Log In Time – set limits on the time you can be logged in by day, week or month
  • Bet Limits – set limits on how much you can wager in a day, week or month
  • Loss Limits – set limits on how much you can lose in a day, week or month
  • Timeout – restrict access to your account only to withdraw and view your details for a day, week, month or 6 weeks
  • Exclude Games – block access to specific games for a day, week or month

Game Testing – all games on the Pub Casino site are regularly tested by 3rd party testing houses to ensure they operate fairly and to advertised Return to Player rates.

Site Encryption – all your person and financial data is encrypted and transmitted over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection to keep it safe.

Clear and Transparent Bonus Terms – all bonuses and promotions must be easy to understand and subject to fair terms and conditions that are clearly visible next to the promotion headline.

Disputes – if you enter into a dispute with Pub Casino and it cannot be resolved by the support or management team then you have a clear path to escalation. The operator has nominated eCorga as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider. eCorga provide a free and impartial service to help resolve disputes.

Insolvency Protection – customers balance are held in a separate account to the main business account at Pub Casino to protect them in case the operator becomes insolvent .

Our Verdict

Pub Casino is a standard L and L Europe site but with a fresh new look. For those who are disappointed with the lack of new brands launching in the UK right now it will be a welcome addition to the market. The slots catalogue may be small but it offers plenty of quality whether your taste is high variance mayhem from Nolimit City or more relaxed gameplay from NetEnt. We hope to see Paypal and Paysafecard added to the cashier over the coming months and more promotional events, but overall Pub Casino gets our approval.
