Mansion Casino REVIEW
REVIEW SUMMARY
Now I like to play poker as well as casino games, so I put some cash into MansionPoker.com and started playing in live games and tournaments. At the time, Mansion was producing a poker show in Las Vegas called Poker Dome, and I was lucky enough to win a seat in a televised game from Sin City. Mansion paid for my airfare, picked my wife and I up in a limousine, put us up in a suite at Caesars Palace, paid for our meals, gave us €/$500 in chips to play with, and took us to the Poker Dome for the tournament. I didn’t win, but the entire experience was great. Obviously, I have a very high opinion of Mansion and their integrity. Nothing since then has detracted from my original opinion.
PROMOTIONS
Every casino site has some type of free offer – but only reading the fine print tells you whether the offer is good or bad. Manion’s current offer is a nicely packaged welcome bonus on both first and second deposits.
Now for the interesting part – how to claim and actually withdraw your bonus. To start with, most of the deposit methods require at least a certain chunk of deposit. The minimum deposit amount can be easily found in the terms and conditions on the website. Then, all games count towards the wagering requirements. To clear this bonus you will have to wager your deposit and the bonus amount as stated in the table below.
Slots, Scratchers, and Asian games count for a certain percentage too as well as all types of roulette. Make sure you look up the info table in the terms and conditions section to check how much you’ll need to bet to completely clear your bonus. I think that the Mansion Casino bonus system isn’t too bad. In fact, the requirements are pretty good.
| TYPE | AMOUNT | MATCH | PLAYTHROUGH | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Deposit | €/$200 T&C Apply | 100% | 40x | SIGN UP |
| 2nd Deposit | €/$300 T&C Apply | 50% | 40x | SIGN UP |
| High-Roller | €/$5,000 T&C Apply | 50% | 15x | SIGN UP |
GAMES
To actually play games, make sure your deposit has been credited to your account, along with the bonus. Don’t start playing if you don’t see the full amount! Should this happen, use the contact button to reach customer service.
When your full deposit and bonus are in your account, you transfer over however many credits you want to the slot machine you choose or the table game you like, and have a go. When you are done and leave the game, the money you still have will be sent back to the cashier. Follow good sense rules for clearing your bonus by not over betting your bankroll.
Once you have met the wagering requirements of your bonus, the cashier will allow you to withdraw your remaining funds if you wish. You will have to use the same option to withdraw as you used to deposit. If you used Neteller to deposit, that’s where your withdrawal needs to go. Neteller has a €/$10 minimum (most others require €/$20 minimum) withdrawal amount and will take 1-2 business days after Mansion has all your documents approved.
Moneybookers, Webmoney, and Click2pay are also fairly quick. Other options will take longer. Keep a close eye on the popups, emails, and other promotion notices from Mansion. They also offer other bonuses for continuing players.
GAME TYPES
There are hundreds of popular slots from Playtech to play at Mansion Casino, and these are neatly divided into sub-headings of DC Superheroes, Marvel Jackpot, 5-10 line, 15-20 line, 25+ lines, Multi-Spin, Progressive and Classic. Meanwhile, live-dealer Blackjack, baccarat, roulette and Hold’em is a great way to enjoy these traditional casino games, though there are also many more varieties and other table games in-house, as well as video poker.
SOFTWARE
Mansion Casino uses software from Playtech, a software company that is immensely popular with casino players around the world due to their brilliant games and top-class functionality. Playtech are best known for their DC Superheroes and Marvel Jackpot Slots, which incorporate great adventures and features, but they also offer a broad spectrum of popular slot themes, as well as a great portfolio of card and table games and video poker.

MOBILE
It’s difficult to find any information about mobile-gaming on the Mansion Casino website, but don’t be fooled into thinking that this isn’t a mobile-friendly casino. You should find that you can play over 100 of your favourite Playtech Slots and Games on mobile phones and tablets by accessing the casino through your mobile browser. You should find it is compatible with Android Phones and Tablets, iPads and iPhones, and Windows Devices. And, if your device is compatible, that means you should be able to spend plenty of time at the mansion whenever you feel like it.

JACKPOTS
There are loads of great jackpot slots at Mansion Casino, and many of them offer some hefty prizes that could go a long way to paying off your mortgage. Marvel Avengers certainly could with a Jackpot of just under £5m, whilst the Sweet Party Jackpot could be truly sweet at just under £1m. The brilliant range of Batman Games isn’t bad either at £385,000.
SECURITY
Playing online for real money is a bit scary, so using a known casino is very important. No matter how good an offer is, consider the source first. You want to go with a long-time licensed site. Don’t be afraid to Google “Problems with XXX” to check on a site. Personally, I only play on sites that have a long history of excellent service and no withdrawal issues.
It is important to understand that once you make a deposit via the many options Mansion offers (Neteller, Instadebit, iDeal, UKash, debit and credit cards, and many more) your money for chips or slot credits will be at the cashiers’ cage. Depending on your deposit option, you may need to send in a copy of your credit card. When you withdraw, you will definitely need to send documents, so don’t be discouraged that you can’t get immediate access to your funds!
Documents can be scanned or digitally photographed. Save them on your computer and e-mail them directly to [email protected]. Acceptable file types are jpeg, tiff, and pdf, with a maximum file size of 1MB per attachment and a 10MB limit per email. Here is what you will need to make a withdrawal:
- Valid Photographic ID
Mansion accepts copies of your valid passport, drivers’ license or national ID card. Signature, name and photograph should be suitably visible.
- Credit Cards
A copy of the front and back of the credit card used to fund your account is required, but you can blank out the middle eight numbers and the 3 digit security code on the back of the card. If you use multiple cards, you’ll have to supply copies of each, although a credit card statement may be sufficient.
Proof of address (must be dated within the last 3 months) using something like a utility bill or bank statement.
Once you have supplied your ID, your account will be updated and you won’t need to send the information again, but occasionally Mansion will ask for a bank reference or notarized ID. You can email the documents, fax them, or post them to Mansion in Gibraltar. Do other sites require these items? Yes, they do!
VERDICT
The House is one of the most popular ways to describe a casino, so it’s no surprise that online casinos don’t come much bigger or better than Mansion Casino. New members can claim a big welcome bonus making it an ideal way to have tons of fun as you play your way through hundreds of popular slots from Playtech. The slots come with great graphics and top-notch functionality, with many also available on mobile. These include the many Marvel-Themed slots, which form part of the Marvel Jackpot – and winning it has changed the life of many casino players around the world.
Mansion Casino also scores highly in regards to security, with licenses from two of gambling’s leading world governing bodies, an excellent privacy policy, and a state-of-the-art Thawte data protection system. All this is backed-up by excellent 24/7 customer support, by live-chat, email or phone.
