Schmitts Casino review (UK)

There is a classy and evergreen bonus offer waiting for you at Schmitts Casino. Sign up today to claim the below:

• 1st deposit: 100% match offer up to £100 + 10 bonus spins on Starburst

To claim this welcome offer, follow the below instructions:

1. Sign up for a Schmitts Casino account
2. Confirm your account by email
3. Deposit £10 or more
4. The bonus is automatically credited to your account

The spins have a rather steep 50x (B) wagering requirement and a max win cap of 3x the initial bonus for the money and £20 for spins, which make for a pretty poor bonus. When compared to other casinos, the wagering requirement is higher than average and having a win cap on top of it is just twisting the knife.

On the cash side, my £40 deposit was 100% matched as promised, giving me a £40 bonus balance and a handful of spins to play. This part was all good, but the wagering was too high for me to ever reach.

I could check in on the status of my bonuses, including wagering progress, in the ‘Bonus History' section of the cashier section. It's nice to see the transparency here from the casino side, even if the wagering requirements make this a bonus to avoid.

This bonus should be viewed as a way to get more playtime, not as an extra fund that can win something.

Significant terms and conditions

• New UK players only, 18+.
• A minimum deposit of £10 applies.
• Bonus comes with a 50x playthrough.
• Skrill deposits are except from offer.
• Max conversion: 3x the initial bonus and £20 for the spins.

Please gamble responsibly.

VIP / Special promotions

Schmitts Casino has a Rewards Programme that gives you perks for being an active player. They have specific tasks and missions that you can complete to earn points and gain levels.

These points can then be traded in at the Reward Store for free spins, bonus money, additional bonus offers or cashback deals. The more points you earn, the better deals you get.

Schmitts Casino is choc-a-block with slot games, with some real gems in the mix. The games come from supplies, including NetEnt, Microgaming and Thunderkick amongst many others.

Amongst some of the most popular slot games on offer, there is Temple of Nudges, Centurion, Crazy Bot, The Great Albini and Agent Jane Blonde Returns.

The games menu was nice and clean with all categories justifying their place. There was no unnecessary fluff anywhere here, which was a relief to see. I do wish that Schmitts would start adding more filters for slots, as the game library is starting to get massive. Finding the right game becomes harder as new games are introduced.

As of now, they have a search bar and a drop-down menu for suppliers. This is a great starting point, but adding filters for specific features or game types would be a nice addition.

All the games I tried out loaded quickly enough and played without a hitch. There was a loss of connection on Sic Bo for a few seconds, but my bet still went through, and my win was paid out okay.

Live Casino fans will be delighted to learn that there is a nice little collection of live dealer games at Schmitts Casino. Powered by Evolution Gaming, there are various tables on offer.

You can enjoy games such as Live Blackjack, Live Baccarat, Live Roulette, Texas Hold'em and Casino Hold'em amongst many other options.

Simply take a seat at a table and start chatting with the dealer and other players, just as you would at a brick-and-mortar casino.

The quality of the games is top-notch, but there is room for some variety here. Schmitts has the standard casino table selection, but not many show pieces. I love playing live game shows, which here were sorely absent.

Schmitts Casino is fully compatible and fully optimised to work with all modern makes of smartphones and tablets. As a result, you can play on the go straight from your mobile device or tablet. Whether you own an Android, iOS or Windows device, it will work perfectly. Simply navigate to the site from your web browser to access hundreds of mobile casino games and features.

There was no app to download, so I booted up Schmitts Casino in the mobile browser on my Android device. I'm happy to report that everything functioned just as well as it did on the desktop version and it was just as easy to navigate around. I liked the way that the account menu and balance totals were just at the top of the screen. This wasn't as intrusive as some sites that use a top and bottom menu style.

You can avail yourself of various payment methods at Schmitts Casino. You can make a deposit via one of the below methods:

• Debit Cards
• EWallets
• Prepaid Cards

Withdrawal requests are processed within three business days.

Hitting ‘Deposit Now' from the casino lobby took me to the cashier page. I entered the required card details and deposit amount before clicking on the big green ‘Deposit' button. A pop-up appeared to notify me of the casino's Protection of Customer Funds policy which was dismissed by clicking ‘Approve'. A few tense seconds later, I got a confirmation message telling me my deposit was successful.

When it came to withdrawing my winnings, it was simple enough to make a request from the cashier section of the casino. I just entered the amount manually and selected my saved payment method to proceed. I was pleased to see that the minimum withdrawal amount is just £2.50. However, that joy was short-lived when I saw the excessive £2.50 fee per withdrawal. This is a standard fee for Schmitts which applies to all withdrawals, so it was a big hit to take on my modest cashout amount.

I received an email confirmation of my withdrawal request instantly, but no timeframe was specified. It just said that the casino was handling it and will update me about its status soon. When I checked with a support agent, they said it could be up to 3 working days. Not great news as I made the request on a Friday evening!

This meant that it took 61 hours from making my withdrawal request to getting it approved on a Monday morning. On the positive side, it was then instantly credited into my bank account so there were no further delays. Let's hope it's quicker for any weekday withdrawals.

You can reach the customer support team between 8 a.m. and midnight daily:

• Live Chat
• Email: By filling out a form

Clicking on the site's support option gave me the choice of either live chat or a form with a drop-down list of subjects to pick from. I clicked the chat button and had to fill in my name and email address before being connected to an agent. It took around 1 minute for a member of the support team to answer my chat. They were polite enough and gave a couple of good responses to my question on withdrawals so I can't fault them there. It's just unfortunate that the service here was a little slow overall.

Hunting around the site, I found a link to the FAQs section down in the footer. It had a pretty lengthy list of questions and answers, covering everything from payment transactions to gambling limits. It's a refreshing change to see such a detailed section as it's something a lot of casinos are sadly lacking. Top marks there.

As a licensed UK casino operator, Schmitts Casino must verify players' identity and age, before they can withdraw funds from their account.

This industry-wide process is there to protect against money laundering but also to provide you with a level of protection.

You'll be requested to supply the below documentation:

• Proof of ID (passport, driving license, ID card)
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, official government letter)
• Proof of Payment Method

The need to verify my account wasn't mentioned at any point during the signup or payments process at Schmitts Casino. I found 4 points on the process in the FAQ section, detailing what was required to verify my account and why. It also mentioned here that it could take up to 3 working days to complete this process which is pretty slow when compared to other casinos.

I was pleased to see that there was a dedicated ‘Verify ID' page in the cashier section. Here I could upload files under the heading of Identity Card, Address and Payment. Clicking on any of these options brought up details on the exact types of documents the casino would accept. Plus there was a place to click or drag the files for secure upload.
