Glimmer Casino

Casino, Live Casino & Jackpots 

With around 1,000 titles, Glimmer Casino is definitely not one of the big players in the industry, yet it manages to offer a decent number of games of all kinds. For instance, besides the ever-present video slots, progressive jackpots and table games, there are also live table games, scratch cards, virtual sports and lotto. Although the latter three aren’t exactly the most popular gaming genres, they are a breath of fresh air and a welcome addition to gaming libraries filled with classics. You can search for games by category, filter them by providers and there are even some sub-category filters for simple and intuitive navigation. 

Slots and table games

With this operator, you’ll be able to enjoy around 750 slots of all kinds, all provided by reputable companies such as NetEnt. If you are looking for recent releases, simply browse the New category. There we found Dark King: Forbidden Riches, a brand new slot by NetEnt, inspired by dark fantasy worlds. With enchanting music and a highly detailed background worthy of popular games such as League of Legends, this 5-reel slot holds a surprise or two. For instance, pay close attention to the four faces located at the bottom, as they help you trigger Wild multipliers equal to the number of symbols appearing on the board. 

Table games can be found in the casino section, and include classics like blackjack, roulette and baccarat. Of course, you can also play video poker, but with only 25 titles available, this is a relatively small category that covers only the basic variations. All beginners should try 20p roulette, a simple game with low stakes that will help you enter the world of online gaming without exposing yourself to big risks. Another amazing game, but for high rollers, is Big 500x Roulette with a bonus that multiplies your bet an incredible 500 times! 

Jackpots at Glimmer Casino

Glimmer Casino features over 40 progressive jackpot slots, with some of the ever-popular must-haves like Treasure Nile and Bell of Fortune, but what seems to be missing are some attractive recent releases with beautiful graphics and immersive storylines. Also, we noticed there are no big names such as Mega Moolah or the Age of the Gods saga. Many of the jackpots available are powered by Eyecon, including the Clover Rollover 2, a sequel to the popular slot from 2008, and a classic Irish-themed game with three different jackpots. While this game doesn’t offer anything special in terms of graphics, sound effects or features, it is one of the latest additions to this category, so it was necessary to mention it. 

The only jackpot series available is Fluffy Favorites, a saga with kitschy and juvenile icons in the shape of plush toys. And while we understand that every slot has its audience, it is impossible not to notice this entire series looks like it was made for kindergarten girls who love their puppies, ponies and rainbows more than their mom and dad. Also, there is no music in the background and unless you score a payline, you’ll be playing in complete silence which is, honestly, a bit boring. 

Live Casino games

Games with live dealers are powered by the most prestigious provider - Evolution. The entire live tables section is a combination of direct access and a system of lobbies. For instance, you can play VIP Blackjack by Evolution directly by clicking the appropriate icon, or by entering the special blackjack lobby and starting from there. It is hard to say which approach is better, but in our experience, lobbies are more favored by experienced punters. Among Glimmer Casino games, you will find a solid number of live blackjack, baccarat and roulette tables, as well as some poker games. We would love to see some gaming shows added directly to the platform, as at the moment they can be accessed only through Evolution lobbies. 

If there is one game that this operator does really well, it’s blackjack. This gaming standard is available in over 20 variations and covers all types of players. For instance, beginners will appreciate the Blackjack Party, a low stake game that is incredibly entertaining. High rollers can play some exclusive tables dedicated to them, such as Diamond Blackjack or VIP Blackjack.

The Glimmer Casino bonus for new players is pretty elaborate as it is spread across the first five deposits. It goes up to €1,000 plus 100 Glimmer Casino free spins in total, which is more than most online operators are ready to offer. The welcome bonus package requires no special Glimmer Casino bonus code, but you have to make a deposit as there is not a single no deposit bonus available. On the first deposit, you get 50 free spins on the Book of the Dead, while on the second deposit you get a 25% bonus, up to €200. On the third deposit, you get a 50% bonus, up to €200, and upon the fourth payment, you get a 25% bonus, up to €600. The fifth deposit brings you 50 free spins on Starburst. 

Considering the layout of their welcome package, it seems that this site targets primarily slot players who are looking forward to free spins. While we can’t say this is a bad offer in any way, we are sure players would appreciate getting at least a small bonus on their first deposit, as 50 spins aren’t that exciting (unless you play only slots, of course). With deposit bonuses from the very start, the operator would surely attract a more diverse audience. 

Bonus terms and wagering requirement

The welcome bonus package requires a minimum deposit of €10 for every part of the bonus, so to get the full offer, you will have to deposit at least €50 total (five payments of €10). The money bonus must be wagered 50 times before withdrawal, which is too much, especially compared to other websites. Also, it is necessary to say that the maximum withdrawal while playing the deposit bonus is capped at three times the bonus. So, if you get a €200 bonus, the maximum withdrawal is €600. The free spins' profits are capped at €20. The bonus is active for 30 days, while free spins must be used within 7 days. 

Video and power poker games contribute 5% to the wager, while blackjack, roulette and baccarat contribute 10%. Most slots bring 100% to the table, but there are some notable exceptions including the popular Jack and the Beanstalk and Book of Oz. 

Promotions and bonuses

The Glimmer Casino promotions will leave you speechless, as you can count on new and exciting deals almost every day. First, there are several bonuses available every week such as Saturday Spinner (10 free spins) on Saturdays, while on Sundays you can get a 20% bonus, up to €500. Table games and live tables punters can enjoy 15% cashback each weekend, while on Thursdays you get to enjoy some cool competitions and tournaments. Furthermore, every month and every season you can expect some spectacular offers. To conclude, Glimmer Casino is as fun as it gets, but make sure to use their special promo codes each time you want to claim a bonus. 

You can also join a special VIP club with five levels, which brings you VIP customer support, birthday presents, a personal account manager, personalized gifts and anniversary bonuses. You move through ranks as you collect more and more points, and for every €16 you wager, you get a single point!

Glimmer Casino is obviously inspired by disco clubs as it features not only neon colors that are often associated with night clubs (predominantly purple) with black, but also some disco balls for that Studio 54 feel. Whether or not you like this entire concept is up to you, but we have nothing against it. After all, it is better than all those generic gaming sites we witness every day. The navigation is pretty simple and intuitive, and won’t confuse customers who are only discovering the world of online gaming. All games, except those with live dealers, have a demo that you can play with virtual money. 

Also, we love the fact that all promotions have very distinctive visuals, so it is easy to tell one from another. During this review, we noticed no delays or long loading times that might affect your user experience or gaming progress. The desktop gaming platform can be accessed directly from your favorite browser, and you never have to download any complicated software. 

Mobile Casino

Nowadays, more and more punters decide to try mobile gaming, and luckily the Glimmer Casino mobile casino is a perfect choice for punters on the go. To be honest, you might like it more than a desktop version. Vivid colors, incredible graphics, intuitive navigation and a lot more are available to you in a pocket format thanks to their instant and web-optimized mobile platform, suitable for Androids and Apple devices. You never have to download any pesky apps that might slow down your phone or use up all the battery in a single gaming session. All you have to do is have a working browser on your tablet or phone (and we bet you already have one), and you are good to go! 

The main difference between the mobile interface and the desktop version is the main menu that is, in the case of the mobile platform, located in the upper left corner and expands after you tap it.

The customer support is available 24/7 via live chat and an online form. We decided to test the live chat, and truth be told, we’re a bit disappointed with the time they took to respond. We had to wait for what looked like ages for every answer until we gave up and decided to check out the FAQ and find the answers by ourselves. 

These are the main categories in the Glimmer Casino FAQ:

• Registration
• Verification
• Accounts
• Deposits
• Withdrawals
• Limits
• Technical
• General Questions
• Online Slots
• Online Blackjack
• Online Roulette

Are you impressed so far? Let’s continue with payment methods. If you want to make a deposit at Glimmer Casino you can expect over 15 payment methods. As one would expect, you probably won’t be able to use all of them, as there are some that are available only locally, but you’ll always have bank transfer, credit cards and e-wallets at your disposal. The minimum deposit is only €10, which is manageable even on a tight budget. The minimum withdrawal for bank wire is €50, but other methods are much more user friendly and allow withdrawals starting at €5. 

All withdrawals are subjected to a €2.5 processing fee. This amount is reasonable, but considering there are casinos that offer free withdrawals, we find it obsolete. And what about payout times? This is where it gets really tricky. Once you request a withdrawal, it gets a pending status that lasts for 3 business days. Once the 3 days expire, it takes an additional business day to process it. Finally, you have to wait for an additional 3 to 7 business days to get the money in your bank account. To sum things up, you might have to wait up to 14 days (weekends included) to get your hands on your winnings. 

Verifying your Glimmer Casino account

The verification process is slightly different for customers from territories regulated by the UKGC, then for those where MGA regulation is applicable. If you live in the territory audited by the UKGC, you will have to verify your age and deliver your ID before you make a deposit, play any games (even with bonus funds) or play any demo games. Besides the ID, you also have to deliver proof of address, most commonly by sending a utility bill of a recent date. 

If you are under the MGA legislation, the company has the right to ask you to verify your name, age and address at any point. Players who fail to do so can expect their accounts to be blocked until the verification is completed.

Glimmer Casino is owned and operated by Progress Play LTD, a well-known gaming company that holds several gaming websites. Progress Play LTD is regulated by the UKGC and the MGA, which makes it one of the safest brands on the market. Also, they use their custom-made platform technologies to deliver safe and secure gaming straight to your mobile or desktop device. 

Thanks to the SSL encryption and complex regulatory framework, you can rest assured that all your private information and money transactions are handled safely and discreetly. In case of any inquiries related to your personal information and privacy concerns, make sure to contact their data protection officer.

At the first glance, Glimmer Casino might seem like every other company on the market - we have seen this layout at least a hundred times. Yet, they still managed to make an impression. First, they use a color scheme that makes them easily recognizable. Second, they are armed with so many bonuses, they’ll keep you busy all month long. And after that? Every new month brings new promotions and benefits. What is not to love? 

Well, their selection of progressive jackpots is mediocre at best. The same goes for their customer support. It may be just an accident that we had to wait for so long, but truth be told, most interested customers would just give up and go elsewhere. And in the end, their withdrawal times are long, and they always charge a processing fee. To sum things up, this is a legit and safe gaming site, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. You can play at Glimmer Casino without any worries, as long as you are ready to tolerate its bad sides.
