Bally Casino boasts over 700 online slot games from popular game providers like Pragmatic Play and Play’n GO, among others. Aside from available demo modes of some games, Bally Casino also offers free online slot games among its selection, which I will talk more about below. The casino also offers an array of slot games featuring jackpots, which it groups into a separate category, the Jackpot King games.

Live table games

There are various live casino games offered at Bally Casino, such as blackjack and roulette. Bally Casino also offers other live table games including Deal or No Deal Live, and live game shows like Monopoly Big Baller and Dream Catcher Live.

Bally Casino’s live casinos include blackjack, roulette, poker, and other table games such as craps, baccarat, Dream Catcher, and Monopoly. The live casino features live dealers, side bets and multi-game play.

Slingo

“Slingo,” games featuring a combination of slot and bingo, is also available at Bally Casino’s lineup of games. The casino provides an array of slingo games, including Slingo Rainbow Riches, Slingo Cleopatra, and Slingo Deadliest Catch, among others.

Poker

Poker Rooms

Players are offered poker tables and tournaments to play against other players, each with varying stakes and wager ranges. Bally Casino also offers the Cash+ Poker which caters to more casual players who seek less intensive and lower-stake games.

Buy-ins for these tables can start as low as £2, and players can wager with a stake of up to £20. Cash+ Poker also provides features normally unavailable in regular poker tables, such as chat assistance from hosts.

Live Poker

Bally Casino offers Caribbean Stud Poker, a poker variation where players play against the house with two optional side bets and a progressive jackpot option available for players.

There’s also the Live Three Card Poker game where players go against the dealer using only three cards in their hands. For these three-card poker games, players can wager from £1 to £2210.

Video Poker

Other than the poker selection I mentioned above, at least as of time of writing, Bally Casino does not seem to offer any video poker games where players can face off against automated dealers.

Free games

Bally Casino has six free games, Slot Masters Tournament and five Daily Free Games, which will give either free spins or cash prizes. To be eligible to play the Daily/Monthly Free Games, players must have made a minimum deposit of £10. They must then choose one of the five free games to play for the week. Players can also play a Monthly Free Game on the last day of the month by playing the relevant Daily Free Games.

Bonuses

Welcome Offer

New players at Bally Casino are eligible for 30 free spins, each valued at 20p, on the game Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways. To claim this bonus, the player must deposit at least £10. Afterwards, they must wager at least £10 in cash on any game and use the free spins within 30 days after the deposit. Terms and conditions apply, so we advise players to check them beforehand.

To claim the bonus, players must opt-in by selecting either the “Free Spins” or the “Free Bingo Tickets” offer before the first deposit. They will then have 30 days to wager at least £10 and to use the bonuses before they expire.

Referrals

Players can refer a friend to receive a £20 bonus, up to £100 for five successful referrals. To do this, players can go to the Refer a Friend > Send Referrals page on the website to generate a link for the referred to follow. Alternatively, the referred can enter the referrer’s username or email address upon registering with the website. 

Afterwards, the referred must deposit at least £10 and meet a minimum total wagering requirement of £40. A percentage of the referred’s wagers count towards this requirement, and different games have different percentages:

• Bingo: 100%
• Poker: 20%
• Slots: 5%
• Casino games (excluding blackjack): 2.5%
• Blackjack: 0%

In other words, the referred player must wager at least £40 on bingo, £200 on poker, or a combination of games (such as £20 on bingo and £100 on poker) to meet the total £40 requirement before the referrer earns their £20 bonus.

Interestingly, Bally Casino’s referral information made mentions of Bingo games, although their site does not seem to feature any bingo games, aside from the similar yet different slot games, slingo.

Reputation & complaints

Bally Casino received a Very High Safety Index from Casino Guru, which is the best rating given by the website. However, Casino Guru mentioned a boost in rating due to its connection with land-based casinos and would’ve had a lower rating if judged purely from the online casino website. Being a relatively new platform, there is also a distinct lack of player reviews, which may have skewed this rating quite significantly.

Although reviews for Bally Casino are generally positive, I would advise players to exercise caution, as these ratings may be skewed and premature due to a lack of player reviews.
