SunPlay Casino Review

As you might expect if you’ve ever read the Sun, things are very red. The overall design scheme is bright and bold, reflecting the newspaper’s tabloid status. However, there is a simplicity to the design that makes it easy for players to navigate their way around. There are no flashy banners trying to get your attention and no pop ups or animation getting in the way and stealing your bandwidth. You simply use the grid system to locate your favourite games, click and you’re away.

There might be better looking casino sites out there, but you can’t fault the UX design, which makes it easy for players to find exactly what they’re looking for.

The welcome offer with SunPlay comes in three stages with a good mix of bonus spins and bonus funds available to win. The first two deposits you make of £10 or more will qualify you for a 100% bonus of up to £100. You will also get 50 free Starburst spins. The third deposit you make will get you a 50% bonus of up to £200 and yet another 50 free spins on Starburst. In all, that makes 150 free spins and a possible bonus of up to £400. That really is a pretty good offer for new players.

You will need to use up your free spins within seven days and need to wager your winnings 30 times before they can be withdrawn. But that is also pretty competitive in terms of entry offers.

Once you’ve registered, you should keep your eyes peeled for regular bonus games and your chance to win free spins and cash prizes. You can also take part in the loyalty scheme, although it’s invite-only so you’ll need to play for a while before it comes your way. Once in, you get access to a whole host of other extra benefits and promotional offers.

The featured developers at SunPlay are NextGen Gaming, Nektan and NetEnt. That means you can find a wide variety of games with some only available at a limited number of sites. If slots are your thing, then you can find games such as King Kong Cash, Rainbow Riches and Bar Bar Black Sheep to name just a few of the most popular current games. You can also play newer games such as Striker and Plucky Pirates.

In addition to slot games, there are classic casino games such as blackjack and roulette, although the choice here is not as wide as it is on other sites. You can find the games listed in menus along the left-hand side of the page and you can choose by clever filters such as ‘win type’, ‘new games’ and ‘jackpot’. You can also find the titles that are exclusive to SunPlay listed on this left-hand menu. These include Shamrock’n’Roll and Keepy Uppy Challenge.

Nektan has always been at the forefront of the mobile and tablet design, so you can play SunPlay games across a range of devices on all the major browsers. There are presently no apps available for download but this might change as the Sun gets more experienced in the world of online gaming.

If you’re looking for support, then you need to know that the support button is tiny and located in top right-hand corner of the screen. A link to customer support is available between 8am and midnight, with phone numbers and live chat options for direct communication. Emails are also responded to within 24 hours.

In terms of banking, as they are registered in Gibraltar, there is no PayPal pay or withdrawal option but you can use all the other normal forms of payment.

As we mentioned, you don’t need to be a Sun reader in order to enjoy the games on offer at SunPlay. This kind of newspaper tie-in is becoming much more common as papers explore new revenue streams and it does seem to be a good match. With a big choice of games, including some you can’t find anywhere else, the Sun has leveraged its name to get good game play. The site is simple and easy to use, with no flashy and annoying banners getting in the way, and has first time bonuses are very attractive to new players.
