Mansion Casino in a nutshell
Mansion are one of the most trusted and succesful names in the gambling industry. They were founded in 2002 by a group of investors who set up in Gibraltar. Mansion Casino still runs under a Gibraltar licence but now owns a UK licence too.
For many years Mansion Poker was regarded as one of the best poker rooms for UK players, but sadly in 2014 Mansion made the decision to close their UK poker room and advised players to move to Titanbet Poker instead.
Mansion have been a well-known name in the UK thanks to their sponsorship of Tottenham Hotspur. In 2015 they announced they were to sponsor top-flight clubs Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. So, is Mansion Poker a Premier League site or strictly League Two? Read on to find out!
What’s the look and feel of Mansion Casino?
Mansion Casino has recently altered its design we are pleased to reveal. The ‘old’ version of Mansion Casino was starting to look dog-eared and frayed at the edges, so it’s been a good decision for the Casino to up its design to something that’s a lot more pleasing. It’s also now much simplet and easier to use, and is not over-burdened with unwanted, flashy graphics.

What games are available at Mansion Casino?
Mansion Casino is a Playtech-powered casino, which has its positives and negatives. The positives are the fact that you do get a very decent range of games, including some very nice table games. The negatives include a lack of stand-out slots games. Playtech have produced hundreds of slots while they have been in business, but they have yet to reach the same levels of brilliance as either NetEnt or Betsoft.
There are over two hundred slots here, including classics such as Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven and Gladiator, plus newer games like Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus and Man of Steel.
Table game options are just as good. Plenty of versions of all your casino favourites, including blackjack, roulette and baccarat. Elsewhere you get a pleasing variety of video poker games, arcade games and scratch cards.
Live casino fans can hit the live tables at Playtech’s extensive live casino. Roulette, blackjack, casino hold’em and baccarat are all on offer.
Mansion Casino is a little old-fashioned when it comes to its software. First of all, it still offers a download option, as well as instant play. Note that the download version is only available to Windows users. Free play is available, but not on all games.
As mentioned above, Playtech are the only software company used by Mansion Casino.
Live chat is available 24/7.
The updated version Mansion Casino works more than sufficiently on mobile devices.
Can I play at Mansion Casino on mobile?
As stated, the Mansion Casino site is fully optimised for mobile players, so much so that even the desktop site features hamburger menus.
What promotions are available at Mansion Casino?
Will you be able to buy a mansion with the welcome bonus offered by Mansion Casino? Perhaps not, but the bonus is certainly one of the heftiest casino bonuses available anywhere online at a stonking $/£/€5,000.
Amazing bonuses like that are not usually associated with very favourable conditions for the player claiming them, so this sizeable offer is going to take some keen investigating.
In truth, the $/£/€5,000 is a high roller bonus – fifty percent up to a maximum of that figure, and you need to desposit at least $/£/€1,000 in order to qualify for it. For non high rollers, the bonus is a one hundred percent match deposit bonus up to a maximum of $/£/€500. If you deposit between $/£/€500 and $/£/€1,000 you will receive $/£/€500 in bonus funds.
The wagering requirements are fairly standard. The ‘normal’ welcome bonus has a play-through requirement of 20x the deposit and bonus. The terms are slightly better for the ‘high roller’ bonus at 15x deposit and bonus.
Game weightings apply as usual, and are as follows:
- Slots and scratch cards – 100%
- Pai gow, red dog, let it ride, casino hold ’em, roulette – 25%
- Baccarat, blackjack, stravaganza, video poker – 20%
- Blackjack switch, pontoon, casino war, lucky wheel – 5%
- All ‘zero’ games, double-up options on slots and video poker – 0%
Those contributions on roulette and blackjack are pretty cool – some casinos only allow blackjack and roulette to count between five and ten percent, and some don’t allow them to count at all.
Mansion Casino also runs several other promotions as befitting a large-sized gambling concern, including a $/£/€50 refer a friend bonus. They also run prize draws and fantastic giveaways, and you have a choice every Wednesday of either doubling your money or halving your wagering every Wednesday – use the bonus code ‘RED’ for a 100% bonus up to $/£/€400 with 40x wagering, or ‘BLACK’ for a 50% bonus up to $/£/€400 with 20x wagering.
There is a VIP scheme at Mansion Poker but it is really for high rollers only. The VIP scheme has several benefits for members, including a personal account manager, exclusive promotions and reload bonuses, special gifts and exclusive VIP-only events.
The cashier page at Mansion Casino is very nicely presented with all payment methods listed with the deposit time (most are instant), minimum deposit amount and the maximum deposit limit. All major credit and debit cards are accepted, as well as Skrill, Neteller and PayPal (UK only), plus lesser-known methods like ecoPayz and WebMoney. You can also ‘pay by phone’ by using Boku.
Withdrawal details are less user-friendly. Neteller and Skrill are the best ways to withdraw money, but even they take up to two business days. Credit card transactions can take as much as eight working days. There a $/£10 minimum (the minimum amount is dependent on the withdrawal method), and a £/€15,000 maximum per month, although for VIP players that limit rises to £/€30,000.

What are the pros & cons of Mansion Casino?
Mansion Casino is pretty old school, but that sometimes has its advantages, especially for high rollers looking to get the best in VIP treatment. But we do have some gripes, as you can see below:
- Nice wagering condiitions for the high roller bonus
- Decent wagering conditions for the 'normal' welcome bonus
- Enough varieties of blackjack and roulette to keep punters entertained
- Highly-beneficial VIP scheme
- Slow withdrawal times
The final verdict
As Mansion Casino sponsors Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth we’re going to make a footie-analogy here. We think Mansion Casino should sponsor Newcastle United – a team who were very big a few years back, but after a fallow period have made recent changes in order to hopefully get back into the big time.
Mansion Casino no longer seem to be stuck a little in the past with their uninspiring casino design, but slow withdrawal processing times, and only having Playtech as the sole software provider are still downers. There are a many plusses though, including that $/£5,000 high roller bonus with decent wagering conditions.
So, that’s our opinion of Masino Casino. We’d love it if your shared your experiences there with us!
