Kerching Casino Review

Nothing quite whets the appetite for a spin on the slots than the sound of coins crashing and tumbling out of an arcade gambling machine. Sadly, and inevitably, that noise is sorely missing whenever we play at an online casino but at least this particular casino website acknowledges the sensation with its catchy title.

Established in 2007, Kerching Casino is a bold and vibrant casino website that offers just over 150 games – including slot machines and a limited number of casino classics – to a very limited range of countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands. What's more, the only accepted currency is Great British Pounds, which may deter many punters who are not based in the UK. However, if you are eligible to sign up, then you can make the most of a welcome bonus package worth up to £565 in deposit bonuses.

Licensed To Gamble

The Kerching Casino website is powered by Nektan software, which means that it is fully optimised to be played on desktop computer screens as well as on handheld mobile devices. What's more, Nektan already has a fairly solid reputation in the industry for providing innovative and entertaining gambling products that are safe, secure and responsibly managed.

And just to prove that they are not in the business to mess their players about, the company holds two licenses for its gambling activities; one is issued under the Gibraltar Gambling Commission and the other is from the UK Gambling Commission. So, whether you are having a punt from the UK or from overseas, you will be able to fall back onto some strong legal safety nets if something were to go awry.

But what are the punters saying about Kerching Casino? Because, let's face it, a certificate of legitimacy doesn't guarantee a sound and squeaky clean service. Well, the customer reviews that are readily available across the web are very varied, but mostly positive; even reviews from players who haven't been impressed by certain aspects of the casino still commend the overall quality of customer service and range of games on offer. In fact, there haven't been too many serious complaints for the casino to answer to with most of the negative reviews from disgruntled customers citing dubious grievances such as the fact that they didn't win any money, or that they felt cheated by the bonus terms and conditions.

So, as long as you carefully read the terms and conditions before signing up to this casino, and as long as you don't expect to hear a Kerching with every spin, then you shouldn't come across too many problems.

No Live Chat Support 

At the current time there doesn't appear to be any live chat support portal offered by Kerching Casino, which means that players will have to use the UK telephone number or the email address provided. That is somewhat surprising from a casino of this calibre, and it may well put a large number of prospective players off joining.

However, the website is stocked up with a comprehensive set of FAQs which should provide all of the information you need about the service, from payment methods to bonus terms.

Quality Over Quantity

Kerching Casino has a somewhat limited selection of slot machines, with no more than 150 game titles on show. However, the emphasis is very much on quality over quantity thanks to the employment of some top third party software providers such as Net Entertainment, NextGen, IGT, WMS and Lightning Box. And, of course, there are many games from Nektan as well to provide some exciting mobile optimised spins.

The range of 5-reel video slots by IGT and WMS are perhaps the biggest attractions. That is because these veteran game-studios are known for their illustrious history in the land-based casino market, so it is extra special to find such games as Raging Rhino, Pixies of the Forest and Amazon Queen available to play on mobile screens. There are even some progressive “Mega Jackpots” to be won with games like Siberian Storm and Cleopatra by IGT.

Elsewhere, there are many popular online slot machine titles available to enjoy such as Aloha Cluster Pays by NetEnt, Merlin's Millions by NextGen and Pixie Gold by Lightning Box. Nektan, on the other hand, throw up some fresh and unique games that are specifically designed for mobile play with titles like Magic Touch, Gunslinger's Gold and Best of British.

Limited Range Of Casino Classics

The focus of Kerching Casino is firmly on the slot machines. So much so that there isn't actually a separate category for classic casino games or table games. Instead players will find a few other games hiding in among the slots with titles such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Ultimate X Poker.

Banking In Great British Pounds Only

Kerching Casino offers a somewhat limited range of popular payment methods, allowing players to get their money in and out of their accounts with relative convenience. All payments are handled by the casino in Great British Pounds, meaning that players from outside of the British Isles may incur some exchange fees depending on the payment method used. Deposits are processed more or less immediately, allowing customers to get straight into the spinning action.

Withdrawals, on the other hand, will go through a 3-day pending period before they are sent to be processed by the selected method (credit cards and debit cards may take between 3 – 5 business days). You can see a detailed outline of each option in the table below:

Get a Bonus Boost

Patrons of this online casino will be able to get that Kerching feeling as soon as they sign up their accounts and make their first deposits. That is because the service offers three welcome deposit bonuses which can be used on any of the slot machines displayed in the games lobby. Here is a breakdown of each bonus:

However, there are some terms and conditions to take into consideration. First of all, every deposit must be at least 5% to trigger the relevant bonuses. Secondly, each bonus will only be present in players' accounts for 28 days. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, all bonus funds and deposits must be wagered at least 50x before any winnings can be withdrawn. Even then, players can only convert their bonus funds into winnings that are no larger than 2x the value of the bonus awarded.

Perfect For Mobile Punters

Since this is a Nektan powered casino website, players can expect to receive a fully optimised mobile service for Android, iOS and Windows devices. In fact, the casino is specifically tailored toward mobile players over desktop players with a lightweight games lobby and mobile payment methods such as Skrill 1-tap and Boku.

A Few Niggling Issues

Kerching Casino offers a decent casino product. While there may not be as many slot machines or classic casino games as you may like, the Nektan powered website is intentionally light on the game front to account for the fact that it is optimised for mobile devices. Plus, what the games lobby may lack in quantity, it certainly makes up for in quality with many top-drawer game-makers helping to provide the entertainment. That said, there are a few flaws such as a lack of live chat and limited currency options.
