Review of Platinum Play Casino

Software & Graphics

Platinum Play is one of the growing army of Microgaming casinos, which is a guarantee of good software. The website is informative and easy to navigate, with the download and installation process quick and sample. You can create your real money account during the downloading process which is a welcome and time-saving initiative. There is also an instant play option.

The deposit section of the cashier is split up in quick deposits and regular. Regular has several different deposit methods available, the quick section has a lot less, but your money will be transferred immediately into your account.

The lobby is decent enough, although I found the game selection screen slightly confusing and cluttered. The "Download Game" option for each game was over the top of its name, so it was hard to see what you were downloading. Once over this small hurdle, though, the games were smooth with simple yet attractive graphics and a nice feel to that place. There was a touch of lag when I played - on a variety of games - but this may have just been a local issue.

What I really liked was how customizable the playing experience was. It's possible to control the speed of the games and choose your favourite card deck backgrounds. The sound effects are also nice, and add authenticity to the gaming experience.

Game Variety

Platinum Play Casino isn't as slots-focused as most casinos, which means it's a big hit with fans of other casino games. The choice of table games is particularly good, with 39(!) Blackjack varieties alone. You'll also find plenty of speciality games, such as Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo and Casino Poker. Video Poker fans are also well catered for, with over 50 different varieties. Slots fans needn't despair however - there are still well over 100 different slots to get your teeth into.

Reputation

As you'd expect from a Microgaming casino, Platinum Play Casino has a solid reputation which is built on their safe and secure software and fairness. Players can play here with complete peace of mind, knowing that if they do have a dispute it will be dealt with quickly and fairly. It is affiliated to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, an independent organization that regulates and controls online gaming.

Support

You'll get excellent Customer Support from Platinum Play Casino, with toll-free phone numbers in multiple countries and live internet chat 24/7. Although I received a pop-up asking if I needed help registering my real money account less than 20 seconds through the process (I can manage, thanks!), when I did contact them with questions they provided prompt and helpful answers.

Payment Options

You can deposit with a wide range of payment methods, including all major credit cards and e-wallets. Not all deposit methods can be used for withdrawals though unfortunately, but this is made clear on their website.  There is a helpful chart on the site, which shows which payment methods can be used for deposits and withdrawals, how long they take and what currencies are available. You'll get a nice 10% bonus for depositing with their preferred payment methods.

Summary

Platinum Play fully deserves its place towards the top of our rankings, offering fantastic promotions, a huge variety of games (Blackjack fans will be in heaven!) and reliable and safe software. The only slight weakness is the selection of payment options, but this is a minor quibble. The casino has a nice professional feel to it and I thoroughly enjoyed playing there.

We like: The great promotions and excellent variety of games

We don't like:  More withdrawal options would be nice.
