Grosvenor Casinos Overview

£20 Online Casino Bonus

Grosvenor Casino styles itself as the “UK’s biggest casino brand”.

It’s actually part of the Rank Group, one of Europe’s leading gambling and leisure businesses. In the UK, Rank operates 57 land-based casinos and 98 Mecca Bingo clubs, and boasts annual revenues in excess of £400 million.

The online version of Grosvenor Casino has been established since 2007, and operates under a strict Alderney licence which means US custom is prohibited. It’s one of the few casinos to offer manual flushing – the option to withdraw all your funds in a single transaction.

Summary

Full Review

The name Grosvenor will be instantly familiar to UK based casino players, as it is a well known operator of 35 land based casinos and bars across Great Britain. Grosvenor’s online casino boasts a huge selection of the best games from many different software providers including Playtech in the download version, and the likes of IGT, Novomatic,OpenBet and Virtue Fusion all available for “instant play” in your browser.

The latest popular trend in the online casino industry seems to be the movement away from a single monolithic casino featuring hundreds of games from the same developer (ala Microgaming) and instead to the offering of an assortment of games from many different developers. So it is at Grosvenor Casino, and the choice this offers you as a player is great. If you prefer to download and install your casino software then Grosvenor has you covered with its Playtech casino, but the thing we like best about this casino is in fact all the instant play games available on the website. You can play titles made famous in land-based casinos such as Star Trek, Fire Opals, or Siberian Storm (all from IGT), or the Novomatic series of slots such as Book of Ra, Columbus or Big Catch, along with a host of other titles from these developers and others.

Promotions and bonuses

The welcome bonus offered at Grosvenor seems pretty stingy, but the wagering requirements are superb.

It’s a mere £20, and you have to deposit £20 in order to claim it. The playthrough, however is a friendly 5x, and the only restrictions are on even money bets, such as red or black on roulette. Personally, we’d rather claim a smaller bonus that’s actually cashable. You must play in the browser-based casino, the live casino or at the poker client, NOT the download version to meet the bonus requirements.

If you’re a member of a land-based Grosvenor Casino the deal gets even sweeter. You can claim £20 absolutely free, and you only have to play through the bonus once before you withdraw it. You can also claim a further £20 based on the same conditions as the welcome bonus.

In your first month as a member of Grosvenor Casino you can claim 50 percent cash-back on your losses, up to a maximum of £500. This certainly softens the blow if you do happen to blow a lot of cash, as you can claim half of it back. Just don’t get used to the idea!

The site also provides a range of inventive promotions, such as ‘Free Spins Friday’ and the chance to win ski holidays. They also hold prize draws where the booty includes brand new Mercedes C Class cars.

Games

The casino is split into four sections:

Slots & Games – Over 200 slots including the top slots from IGT such as Bejeweled and Cleopatra. There’s also arcade favourites like Deal or No Deal and Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play.

Table & Card – A few versions of roulette and blackjack, plus baccarat and nine variations of video poker.

Poker – the Grosvenor Casino poker client, fuelled by the iPoker network.

Live Casino – Roulette, blackjack, baccarat and casino hold’em with live dealers.

Software

Most of the games at Grosvenor Casino come from Nevada-based software developers IGT. There are a few games by Electracade, Crytoplogic and Novomatic.

Available Software: CryptoLogic, Electrade, IGT / Wagerworks, Novomatic.

Cashier

Grosvenor Casino offers a standard range of deposit and withdrawal options, including credit and debit cards and a few eWallet providers, such as Skrill and Neteller. The processing times are pretty standard for gambling account transactions. Independent reviews report positive experiences with the Casino’s cashiers.

Conclusion

It goes without saying that if you’re a member of a land-based Grosvenor Casino, then it makes perfect sense to extend your membership online. For Grosvenor Casino members, there’s a potential £60 to pick up, with minimal wagering requirements.

For the rest of us, while the bonuses at this casino are nothing spectacular, the tiny play-through requirements definitely are. If you’re still sceptical, then consider the difference between earning £20 by wagering £100, and £1,000 by wagering £20,000, as some (not so) welcome bonuses dictate.

The choice of games is somewhat limited at Grosvenor Casino, but at least they are mainly top-of-the-range titles from IGT. Also, you can hardly go wrong by playing at a live online casino powered by the UK’s leading provider of real-world casinos.
