Swift Casino review
Swift Casino offers UK players thousands of online casino games across the online slot, virtual table games, and live casino verticals. For players from Canada and Ireland, there is an even larger games portfolio as the MGA version of the site hosts a larger number of software providers. There are no fixed bonuses on this site, as you get to pick one from the daily bonus picks area, while you can also win cash by playing slot race tournaments.
History Of Swift Casino
Swift Casino's operator is SkillOnNet Ltd. The company brought the casino online in 2020, joining a series of other platforms also operating under the same company. Since then, it has established itself as a solid brand in the UK casino market, alongside other notable SkillOnNet platforms such as PlayOJO, Lucky Louis, and Luna Casino.
Swift Casino
100% up to €100 + 50 Free Spins
Bonus Code: SWIFT
Minimum Deposit: £10
Wagering: (Deposit + Bonus) x30
Gambling License and Player Security
SkillOnNet Ltd operates under three licensing systems:
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)
- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)
- Danish Gambling Authority (DGA)
Showing players the website operates under three licensing frameworks goes a long way to giving us confidence that the platform and the operator have undergone rigorous testing. All of these licensing authorities require SkillOnNet Ltd to keep player funds in bank accounts segregated from the operator's main accounts.
On top of this, the operator undergoes regular RTP (Return to Player) tests to ensure all games are paying fairly. As for fairness, all software providers must also hold a licence to supply online casinos operating under the UKGC, MGA, or DGA.

- Popular Games Found in UK Retail Gambling
- A Large Number of Live Dealer Games
- Excellent Responsible Gambling Tools
What we don't like
- Robotic Live Customer Support

Swift Casino Bonuses And Promotions
After you use the welcome bonus, Swift Casino offers regular online casino bonuses. You can earn points to climb the VIP ladder and play tournaments for cash wins. There are also daily picks so that you can choose your bonus.

When you make your first deposit, Swift Casino will automatically credit your account with the bonus amount.

The value of the free spins is the same in all currencies. £0.10, C$ 0.10 or €0.10. For all deposits, no matter your country, you will need to use the bonus code SWIFT.
Main Bonus Rules
The most crucial bonus rule is never to exceed the maximum bet when gambling with bonus money.
- Minimum Deposit: £ 10.00, C$ 10.00 or € 10.00
- Bonus Money Wagering Requirement: 30x deposit + bonus
- Free Spins Wagering Requirement: 60x free spins winnings

- Bonuses Validity: 30 days
- Max Bonus to Real Money Conversion: None mentioned
Regular Bonuses
The promotions section may not look like much at first glance. However, an ingenious bonus pick mechanism allows you to choose your bonuses.
- Tournaments: Play in free roll tournaments or pay for tickets and join slot races. You'll have a set number of spins, and those with the highest accumulated multiplier wins will land a cash prize.
- Daily Picks: Every day, the Daily Picks section will give you new bonus offers. It could be a deposit match, free spins, or a combination of both. Plus, the occasional cashback deal will also pop up. Bonuses include online slots and sometimes live casino and other games, which is where the mixed wagering and special mixed wagering bonus rules in the next section come into play.
Bonus Bets Game Weights
The casino has some overly complex bonus rules that are needless. These are Standard Wagering, Mixed Wagering, and Special Mixed Wagering. All this does is serve to annoy players, force bonus mistakes, and confuse the entire process.
- Standard Wagering: 100% online slots only. The standard wagering requirement applies to the welcome bonus.
- Mixed Wagering: 10% of bets on all non-slot or scratch games count towards bonus wagering.
- Special Mixed Wagering: 50% of bets on all non-slot or scratch games count towards bonus wagering.
VIP Club
Swift Casino is crystal clear when it comes to giving you VIP points conversions. There are four levels to climb earning points, while the top two levels are by invitation only.
- Bronze: 0 – 400 points
- Silver: 401 – 1,000 points
- Gold: 1,001 – 2,000 points
- Platinum: 2,001 – 20,000 points
- Diamond: Invitation only
- Red Diamond: Invitation only
Earning VIP points depends on the games you play. To earn 1 point, you will need to accumulate the following totals:
- £20 playing Slots and Scratchcards
- £40 playing Hi-Lo or Let Them Ride
- £60 playing Caribbean Poker and Casino Hold’em
- £80 playing Roulette, Video Poker, Big Wheel, Blackjack, Baccarat, or Punto Banco
- £160 playing Craps or Pai Gow Poker
Payment Methods and Payout Speeds
Currencies accepted by Swift Casino are GBP, EUR, NOK, CAD, CHF, ZAR, SEK and DKK. When you deposit using any of these currencies, the payment is instant and free of charge. To find out which deposit options are available, in the footer, there is a payment methods box.
Deposits
The minimum deposit is 10 GBP, 10 CAD, or 10 EUR, while the casino does not state any deposit limits. In most cases, if there are deposit limits applied, this is down to the payment options you use. For example, Paysafecard has a maximum of 175 GBP, 100 EUr or 250 CAD.
- UK Casino: Deposit options available are Visa, MasterCard, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Fast Bank Transfer, iDEAL, PayPal, and Apple Pay. For card payments, you can only use debit cards in the UK, as the UKGC bans credit card payments to fund gambling activities.
- MGA Casino: Visa, MasterCard, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, AstroPay, MuchBetter, Paysafecard, Multibanco, eKonto, Interac, WireCard, Yandex Money, Zimpler, Teleingreso, Todito Cash, WebMoney, Postepay, Payz, EPS, ComGate, Euteller, Giropay, Lottomaticard, Sofort, Citadel Instant Banking, DineroMail, Abaqoos, ewire, and Boleto.
Cashing Out
The minimum withdrawal for Wire and Bank Transfers is 50 GBP, 50 CAD, or 50 EUR. For all other financial options, it is 10 GBP, 10 CAD, or 10 EUR.
Cashout options available are Visa, MasterCard, Paysafecard, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, iDEAL, Apple Pay, and Bank Wire Transfer. Canadians can also use Interac, while other non-UK options are Payz. MuchBetter, and WebMoney.
For the UK, the online casino terms and conditions do not state any maximum withdrawal. For players from Canada and Ireland, the maximum withdrawal stated is 5,000 EUR/CAD per transaction and 10,000 EUR/CAD per month.
Important Withdrawal T&Cs
- Pending Time: 24 hours
- Free Cashout: Cashing out is free except for Wire or Bank Transfers, which come with a £10.00 charge if you withdraw less than £500.
- British KYC Checks: You will need to pass a KYC check before you start playing using real money.
- MGA KYC Checks: The casino will request a KYC check prior to your first withdrawal.
- KYC Verification: In the FAQ section under the 'Documents' section, it says that KYC verification takes 12 hours.
Swift Casino Games and Software Providers
On the UK version of Swift Casino, you'll find software providers such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Big Time Gaming, and Play'n GO. Brands that are also available on the UK retail scene include IGT, Blueprint, 1x2Games, Realistic Games, Playtech, Barcrest and Merkur.
Video Slot Games and Progressive Jackpots
Online slots tagged with the popular label give new and experienced players an idea of which games are being played the most. Some of the online slots marked as popular while we played at Swift Casino include Breaking Bad Mega Fire Blaze, Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, and Blue Wizard Fire Blaze Classics.
As for slot mechanics, you will find 3x3, 5x3, 5x4, and 6x4 slots with no paylines or paylines. Megaways slots courtesy of Big Time Gaming give you 6 reels with 2 to 7 symbols per reel. Plus, there are cluster pays and pay anywhere slot games with 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, and 9x9 grids. With all these mechanics, our opinion is this is an online casino with an impressive and diverse collection of slots.
We are also impressed with the jackpot section. It clearly differentiates progressive slots from non-progressive jackpot games. All progressive jackpots show the jackpot amount, which continues to increase. As for the jackpot network available, you have the pick of PowerPlay, Jackpot King, Dream Drop, and Age of the Gods.
Live Casino Games & Gameshows
The live dealer games come from top studios in the industry. Playtech, Evolution Gaming, and Pragmatic Play Live are the leading live dealer gaming brands. Also, Authentic Gaming, Ezugi, and Stakelogic offer live games.
You can separate games by either using the Live Casino or Live Game Shows lobbies. These two lobbies make life easier for serious table game players to get straight to the live card games, sic bo, craps, and roulette tables.
- Table Games: With so many live dealer game studios hosted by Swift Casino, you have the pick of multiple variants of each game. Live online blackjack, roulette, craps, sic bo, baccarat, dragon tiger, andar bahar, teen patti, and a variety of poker games.
- Game Shows: Mega Wheel, Crazy Time, Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, Lightning Storm, Deal or No Deal, Snakes & Ladders, Funky Time, Crazy Balls, Jumanji Bonus Level, Mega Fire Blaze Luck Ball, and many more.
- Live Video Slots: Crazy Coin Flip, Extra Chilli Epic Spins and Live Buffalo Blitz.
Overall, Swift Casino boasts an excellent selection of live dealer games that rivals even the biggest names in Britain's iGaming market, as well as MGA-licensed casinos.
Mobile Casino Review
There are three ways to play on the Swift Mobile casino site.
- Download the Android App from Google Play for Android devices
- Download the Apple App from the App Store for iOS devices
- Play using a web browser such as Chrome, Safari, or Edge for all mobile operating systems
The dedicated mobile app version of the casino takes just a couple of minutes to download and install. If you choose the web browser version, you'll have instant access to the signup page.
We took our time testing the apps and the web browser version of the casino. There really is not much between them. The apps occasionally need to be updated. Aside from this, no matter how you decide to connect, the interface has a mobile-friendly design and offers the same games as the desktop version of the site.
Customer Support
The primary area we used for support was the Help menu option and the FAQs in the footer. Beginning with the FAQ section, we recommend looking here first if you have any Q&As.
There are seven sections covering deposits, withdrawals, technical issues and more. Under each of these sections is a wealth of information. If you need to contact a support agent in person, you can use live chat or email.
- Live Chat: You will need to sign up to the casino before you can use the live chat customer services tool. Once we were in contact with the support team, we were not overly impressed with their responses. Each reply felt robotic, and we were almost always told to refer to the T&Cs. The issue was that the T&Cs did not have the answer to the question we were asking, which is precisely the reason we were contacting live chat. In the end live chat could not answer whether British players have a maximum withdrawal limit.
- Email: We found that we received more detailed and personal responses after contacting the casino via email at [email protected]. Mind you, we needed to send a reply to the original email, reminding the support staff that the answer we were looking for was not available in their T&Cs. They gave us the Euros maximum withdrawal in the beginning, then finally replied to confirm there are no withdrawal limits for British players, but they can apply limits if deemed necessary. We didn't ask what 'necessary meant', and feel this info should have been provided, so it was all a bit vague.
- Complaints Procedure: Section 21. Customer Complaints outlines how you can log an issue with the support team. If you or the casino cannot agree to resolve the matter, you can request that eCOGRA step in as the Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR) service to mediate.
Alternative Online Casino Platforms
For alternative online casino platforms, we chose to compare the games and welcome bonuses at Swift Casino with Mr Play and Spin Rio. Both are also well-known UK Gambling Commission and MGA iGaming platforms.
Mr Play Vs. Swift Casino
Both online casino platforms are neck-and-neck when comparing the number of casino games. They also have an excellent selection of progressive slots. Therefore, we are going to compare the welcome bonus offers and bonus wagering.
The first deposit welcome offer at Mr Play for British players is 100% match up to £50 plus 100 free spins. Swift Casino offers a welcome bonus of 100% deposit match up to £100 + 50 Free Spins, so there's £50 more bonus to be had.
Yet, Mr Play makes up for this shortfall with a second and third deposit both worth a 75% deposit match up to £75. Overall, you can claim a welcome bonus worth 250% up to £200. Even with the shortfall on the first deposit, the Mr Play bonus is more appealing because the wagering requirement is only 35x the bonus only. Conversely, Swift Casino's wagering requirements are terrible in comparison at 30x deposit + bonus and 60x on your free spins winnings.
Spin Rio Vs. Swift Casino
The Spin Rio casino game portfolio is not as diverse as those we found via this Swift Casino review. However, there are some differences in the welcome bonuses each online casino offers.
Its first deposit welcome bonus, which is a 100% deposit match up to £50 + 20 Free Spins on Starburst, falls well short of Swift Casino. Yet, the Spin Rio welcome offer covers three deposits and gives you a total of a 200% deposit match up to £200 + 100 free spins. That means to choose between these two offers, it is going to come down to the wagering requirements.
Spin Rio comes out well ahead with only 35x the bonus required. Again, Swift Casino's wagering requirements let the casino bonuses down.
Our Opinion Of Swift Casino
Swift Casino is an excellent online gambling platform if you are looking for a UK casino with a large number of online slots, progressive jackpots, and live dealer games. For players from Canada and Ireland, the game selection is slightly more extensive than the UK casino version, as there are more software providers available. For example, BetSoft is not available on the UK casino but is available on the MGA version.
The welcome bonus will appeal mainly to UK players. We say this because most UK casinos offer bonuses with similar value, while Irish and Canadian players can find better value welcome bonus deals via other MGA casinos. However, we are not keen on any of the bonuses offered because there are casinos out there with far more attractive wagering requirements.
No matter which licensed version of the website you join, Swift Casino gives you the chance to play responsibly with an extensive selection of responsible gambling tools.
As for our final thoughts, for UK players, Swift Casino offers all the best games available on the iGaming scene. However, there are better casinos out there if you are looking to claim bonuses, whether you are from the UK, Ireland, or Canada.
