Here at The Casino Heat we are big fans of independent casinos like Volt. White label sites from big operators like L and L Europe and White Hat Gaming offer reliable gaming with a trusted name, but don’t they all just look and feel the same? They sure do, which is why when we come across brands like Volt, whose owner-operator, Fair Play Bets, are focusing their time, money and energy on building a slick customer experience on just ONE site, we sit up and take notice. Sure, the games here are no different to the ones you’ll find on many off-the-shelf casinos, and the payment services are the same, but the site and the brand feels fresh and different, which is why we rate it highly.

In short, this is an exciting gambling destination packed with slots action, and a little live dealer and sports thrown in too. It’s enticing, and even more so when you consider the 300 cash spins offered up to new players. Game on!

In keeping with the times and in an effort to out-manoeuvre the intense competition in the UK market, Fair Play Bets have created a welcome offer of no-wager free spins. Up to 300 in fact. On NetEnt’s Starburst. There is a minimum deposit of £20 required to claim this offer and a maximum of 300 spins (10 per £10 deposited), as well as a £300 maximum win from the bonus.

Despite the restrictions this is a very decent start to playing at Volt and more than stands up against the latest similar free spins offers from sites like Play OJO, who pioneered the wager-free format.

Once you are a fully-fledged Volt player the regular rewards come in the form of more wager free spins or ‘pure cash’ as advertised on the site. You claim these by trading in Volt points in the Volt Shop. It’s not a unique idea but the execution is good with a slick trading system on your account page. Like everything else on the site it has been well-thought through and seems to work well.

Elsewhere regular seasonal promotions can be found on the website and no-doubt the usual tailored offers will come your way if you play regularly.

UPDATE! Volt City Rewards Now Live!

The developmental team at Volt Casino spent a little over a year designing the now launched Volt City, a unique gamification feature available exclusively at Volt City. Volt City can be accessed from within your Volt Casino account and invites you to build your own city using Volt Crystals and Vollars that you collect along your casino journey playing games and slots.  Volt City is set on a post fossil fuel world. You’ll start from scratch or ‘the blackout’ and will be challenged to develop new districts, upgrade buildings and create the technology and items necessary to see your city progress. In the process of building your own Volt City, you will ‘level up’ and discover Mystery Spots where even more casino rewards can be found.

The biggest draw at Volt is surely the slots. The catalogue of games comes from a decent range of suppliers, if not quite as many as some competitors. Stand-outs are NetEnt of course, and their big rivals Microgaming, giving you access to some of the most iconic games of all time, from Gonzo’s Quest and the rock trilogy, to Thunderstuck II and Immortal Romance.

You’ll also find titles from Play n Go who are favourites with many high-risk slots fanatics, and of course, the now legendary Big Time Gaming. In fact, if their Megaways™ slots are your thing then you’ll have hours of fun here (balance allowing) to check out all the latest titles in that group.

If you’re looking to chase down some epic wins then you can always check into the jackpots tab where you’ll find standard classics like Mega Moolah and Mega Fortune, alongside smaller prize pools like LotsaLoot and Fruit Fiesta 3 Reel.

Live Dealer action is provided by both Evolution Gaming and NetEnt Live. That gives you a wide selection of Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarats, as well as some decent unique formats created by industry leading studios. Worth checking out if you are new to live are the Dream Catcher rooms, and Lighting Dice, a simple but exciting format only available via Evolution software.

Volt have set a £5,000 daily limit on withdrawals which is fairly standard in the industry and should cover you in most situations. The funds are released within 24 hours, which is again reasonably competitive.

There are a range of payment options available to you which include debit cards, and three eWallets – Paypal, Neteller and Skrill. You can read more about these in our Payment Guide pages, but it’s worth noting that options like Paypal give you much quicker withdrawals with instant access after clearance by the casino (debit card transfers can take up to 5 days).

NOTE: In addition to fast withdrawals, Volt also have a withdrawal lock feature which is a progressive measure that prevents players from reversing a withdrawal during the processing period. Top marks for that!

The Volt Casino team can be reached by both email and live chat, though there is no phone service available. Live chat is most players preferred option because it allows you to interact directly with an agent without delay. We do recommend recording the chat log if you are entering dispute territory. Of course, if you go by email everything will be saved in your Sent Items anyway.

We’d heard great things about Volt Casino before we checked it out and we weren’t disappointed. It’s great to see an independent brand making waves in the UK market, and we expect to see this one staying the distance and becoming a favourite of many players in years to come. The game catalogue needs some additions if it is to compete with rivals, but the bonusing is generous and stands out from the crowd, whilst features like the withdrawal-lock are customer-friendly and a sign of an operator with its players’ welfare in mind.

Staking a claim for your bets far from the crowds of generic white label sites, Volt is definitely worth a look as your next casino destination.
