The Welcome Bonus comes with a 30x deposit + bonus wagering requirement, which means that if you claim the full £25 bonus, you need to wager £1,500 before you can cash out any of the bonus or winnings from it. Slot games, including progressive jackpot slots, contribute to clearing the bonus 100%. The maximum conversion amount is £400, and you have 14 days in which to meet the playthrough, after which time any remaining bonus and winnings will be forfeited.

Like much of what Velvet Slots do, this is a straightforward and uncomplicated bonus, and while it doesn’t offer especially great value, it is a deal that should be accessible to most players.

How to Deposit & Cash Out

Depositing

There are fairly limited banking options available to UK players here. The accepted payment methods are PayPal, PaySafe Card and entroPay, and you can also use wire transfer and credit/debit cards. The minimum amount you can deposit is £10 and funds are available in your account instantly (with the exception of wire transfer, which can take 6 – 8 days).

Cashing out

The minimum withdrawal amount is £10 and there is a pending period of 48 hours for any withdrawal request (you change your mind during this time). Payments are then processed, and this can then take 1 – 3 working days to complete, depending on the banking method. No fees are incurred for making withdrawals.

It is likely that some UK players will be put off by the small number of banking options available here, especially as there is no provision for e-wallets like Neteller or Skrill.

The Community

While the overall tone of the site is friendly and welcoming, Velvet Slots doesn’t really go out of its way in other areas to create a community of players. We are thinking here primarily of social media, where there are no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages, nor is there a YouTube channel. This makes it harder for players to engage with the site (these platforms can be very helpful as sources of information or as a means of contacting customer support), so overall there is no real sense of connection beyond the immediate confines of the site itself.

Take Velvet Slots with You

We are all of the opinion that we prefer playing at the Velvet Slots mobile site rather than on a desktop or laptop. The straightforward and uncluttered design becomes a virtue when you’re playing on the smaller screens of tablets and phones, and the UI is well-organised so as to make navigation very easy (although being able to search and sort games by producer would be helpful).

You can play on any sort of portable device without downloading or installing a Velvet Slots app, as the games are all browser-based. This means you can play on Apple iPhone or iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, or any type of phone with internet connectivity and a browser.

Our Take on Velvet Slots

Velvet Slots casino has a real appeal for the type of player who is not necessarily too fussed about a flashily designed site, but rather prefers the focus to be on the games. That’s certainly the case here, where you get high quality games (albeit not in as large a number as at some other sites) and a straightforward, easy-to-use platform on which to play.

Our biggest issues are probably with the absence of live dealer games and the very limited banking options open to UK players, but we do nevertheless enjoy playing here because the emphasis is always on quality rather than quantity.

Our overall Velvet Slots review rating, therefore, is 4 stars out of 5.
