White Hat Gaming

White Hat Gaming sites have some totally unique and awesome themes, with United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and Maltese Gaming Authority (MGA) licenses in all cases.

These are two of the most respected licensers in the European market.

They have great banking systems, with a minimum deposit of $20 on every site. They offer tonnes of card and e-wallet options, with about 50% of sites also providing the super popular PayPal.

Withdrawal times can be variable – between 24 hours and 72 hours pending, so be sure to check our individual reviews on that front.

Most White Hat sites offer triple-tiered deposit match bonuses, that usually throw in free spins as well. You can get up to $1000 or more in matched bonus cash on some sites, such as Dream Vegas or Miami Dice.

Typical wagering requirements are between 20x and 40x, with no limits on free spin wins. Sadly, you won’t find any no deposit bonuses at White Hat powered casinos.

Most White Hat sites offer 100s of slots, including many of the latest jackpot games from Microgaming or NetEnt.

You’ll also find a live casino from Evolution Gaming as standard, and possibly NetEnt too. 

90% of White Hat sites will have all the very latest games from both providers, such as Common Draw Blackjack and Lightning Roulette.

The very best White Hat Gaming powered sites include PlayGrand, Fruity Casa, Slotplanet and Casimba Casino.

MT SecureTrade Limited/iGaming Cloud:

There are some truly excellent casinos on the MT Secure Trade network. The design and vibes are so different between them that you’d be forgiven for not even noticing they’re on the same platform.

Just a couple include Guts, Wishmaker, Dunder, Metal Casino, and Cashmio.

All MT SecureTrade Limited. network casinos are licensed by the MGA and the UKGC.

Design-wise, MT network casinos are a varied bunch. Some have fantastically unique themes, like heavy metal or superheroes, and come with on-site jackpot wheels and other interesting features.

Others are more plainly decorated, but still, use efficient menu structures and UX design.

They have good banking systems, with PayPal offered at over half of the sites on their books. A few, such as Rizk, even allow ApplePay deposits too. 

Withdrawal times start at less than 24 hours on e-wallets from Cashmio and Wishmaker, with 24-48 hours pending as standard at other sites across the network.

As for bonuses, these are as varied as the design. Guts & Rizk are great for regular weekly promotions in different areas, including live casino specific offers.

Metal Casino has a truly top-tier reward system based around various legendary heavy metal gig venues around the world, and Cashmio has daily missions to complete, as well as bonuses with low wagering requirements of just 20x or less.

Nektan

Nektan is one of the biggest platform providers out there at the moment (in terms of brands hosted), with over 60 casinos using their platform.

Every site has both a UKGC and Gibraltar gaming license, and they’re always adding new casinos each year – so you can be guaranteed safety on a secure and longstanding platform.

However, this does come at some expense of the overall quality of design, meaning a lot of Nektan casinos have the same lower end look and feel.

They remain perfectly functional on both mobile and desktop, but some more up-to-date designs would have been nice.

Nektan casinos share from a pool of 10 or so bonuses, most of which are free spins or deposit-matches. The deposit-match cash will often have a relatively high wagering requirement of 35x or more. 

Free spins usually come with much more reasonable playthrough conditions, but often have maximum win clauses of just 5x or less.

Almost all Nektan casinos have great banking systems. You’ll find PayPal banking as well as the main card and alternative e-wallet options. You might do well to look at the few, such as Chomp Casino, which offers super-fast processing times of one hour or less.

On the other hand, a fair proportion of Nektan casinos have a 72-hour pending period which is on the longer side of average.

Lastly, Nektan sites usually have around 500 or slots from various developers including popular options like Cleopatra, Starburst or Gonzo’s Quest. However, when it comes to the biggest jackpot titles – they’re often lacking.

As for Nektan live casinos, about 80% use NetEnt as their sole provider and the other 20% go for Evolution. Even on the ones that have Evo, they’re often without the latest games such as Monopoly LIVE or Lightning Roulette.

ProgressPlay

This London-based company currently powers about 20 casinos in the European market, all with UKGC and MGA licenses.

The main attraction of Progress Play network casinos is their shared pool of rotating weekly bonuses, which can really add some extra value to your play.

On top of that, you’ll find a whole load of casinos with sign up bonus deposit-match offers that have the potential to top a massive $1000 or more.

Although, watch out for some Progress Play sites that state 50x or more as standard on bonus wagering requirements.

Progress Play casinos tend to have super-fast e-wallet withdrawals, but slightly slower on the card side of things.

For example, Vegas Paradise provides PayPal withdrawals in 48-hours or less (including pending and processing) – but card withdrawals may take up to seven days.

Similar banking systems are found across the network, although cards are faster than that at some sites.

As for their design and game selection, Progress Play sites are mostly very solid on both.

500-or-so slots at each one, including jackpot games like NetEnt’s Divine Fortune or Mega Fortune and (occasionally) Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. 

Alongside that, you’ll usually find live games from both NetEnt and Evolution.

About 50% of PP casinos will have all the latest games from both developers, although the whole network offers the main games of blackjack, roulette, and baccarat.

PP sites work well on mobile and feature attractive, custom homepages – but the rest of their design is quite similar across the network.

Softswiss

SoftSwiss (alternatively known by the name of their in-house game development team BGaming, and also Direx N.V.) currently provide the platform for about 50 casino.

These include some big-name and award-winning sites like Playamo and King Billy.

The biggest attraction of SoftSwiss casinos is their massive game selections. These include proprietary slots games that are exclusive to their network. 

A few highly rated titles include Platinum Lightning and Aztec Magic Deluxe – and you can only try them out on SoftSwiss sites.

On top of those, you’ll usually find a huge variety of slots, including jackpot titles, and loads of live casino developers including Evolution and NetEnt but also Asia Gaming, Pragmatic Play and more.

Another attraction is SoftSwiss’ networks enthusiastic adoption of cryptocurrency.

As part of a comprehensive banking system, you’ll find Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Ethereum bank here. Sadly, no PayPal banking – although other e-wallets are available.

Although they come with a good third-party reputation, most SoftSwiss casinos operate with a sole Curacao license.

That means many European players are excluded from playing, including those from the UK.

SoftSwiss has also changed its name a few times over the years and is occasionally also known as Direct N.V.

Whilst, not itself a bad thing, this lack of clarity can create a harmful image.

Everymatrix

EveryMatrix hosts about 20 casino online in the European market. They all have a Maltese Gaming Authority Licence, with two UKGC licenses as well – Dragonara Casino and React Casino.

They are also the platform of one of our favorite European online casinos, Jetbull. On top of that, they operate a dozen or so other casinos with Curacao licenses.

EveryMatrix casinos tend to have extremely high withdrawal limits and low pending times of 24 hours in almost all cases.

However, most do not have a huge range of payment options – you won’t find PayPal at any sites on this network. You can bank with Bitcoin at Jetbull though, which is nice.

As for games, most EveryMatrix casinos have great slot collections with most of the popular jackpot titles and other classic games. 

When it comes to live casino game, things aren’t so good.

EveryMatrix casinos are split 50/50 between Evolution and NetEnt as their sole providers, and don’t always have all the latest games from either.

The exception is Jetbull which has a huge range of live casino developers on their books – about 11 in total. That’s the most variety of live casino slots you’ll find almost anywhere.

You should know however that EveryMatrix has seen quite a few casinos close over the past few years. However, with a strong platform to fall back on this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

BetConstruct

Also known for developing their own live casino, slot games, but their bread and butter business is their sportsbook platform offering.

BetConstruct also provides the platform for about 30 or so online casinos. The most well known of these are Vbet and Betzela.

Only Vbet have European licenses, from both the UKGC and the MGA. The others are only licensed from Curacao.

Vbet and has tonnes of deposit options, including PayPal. The latter offers 24-hour withdrawals on both e-wallet and cards. However, there are substantially fewer options when it comes to withdrawals at Vbet.

The rest of BetConstruct powered casinos are a mixed bag, with some offering fast banking and others not so much. A few even feature Bitcoin and other crypto deposits.

As for their games, these two are obviously great sites play BetConstruct’s original slots and live casino games.

You’ll find a huge slots library at VBET of over 1000 titles from all the major players, and a good range of different live casino developers at Vbet too.

SkillOnNet

SkillOnNet provides the platform for 12 different casinos, all of which are quite unique in design and are licensed for the European market. That is with either UKGC or MGA licences or both.

Just a few SkillOnNet sites include PlayMillion, PlayOjo and SlotsMagic.

Pending times vary between 0-2 hours at AHTI Games Casino (which is fantastic) all the way up to 72 hours.

PayPal banking is available at about 50% of SkillOnNet sites, with a huge variety of European suitable options available at most of their venues if not.

When it comes to games, SkillOnNet sites will either have 35-40 different developers on their books or about a dozen.

These smaller sites generally have fewer slots and lack many of the biggest jackpot games.

Nearly all SkillOnNet sites have live casino selections from NetEnt and Evolution, including all the latest and best titles.

Nearly all the sites on this network have a welcome bonus of 100% up to $100, with varying terms and different extra sets of free spins thrown in. Only a couple of SkillOnNet sites feature regular promotions.

Aspire Global

This Swedish company provides the platform for 17 different casinos in Europe.

All have the appropriate Maltese and UK licensing, and recently Aspire has negotiated a license in Sweden too.

Just a few of their clients include Trada Casino, MrPlay, Campeon UK and Barbados Casino.

Unfortunately, their cookie-cutter design remains mostly the same across all Aspire Casinos. That even goes for sites with a unique theme.

Aspire platform casinos have a flat pending time of 48-hours across the board.

Some will then process e-wallet transactions in 1 hour or less but must add another 24 hours for processing.

Card withdrawals can take anywhere from 3-10 days, and you won’t find PayPal banking at any Aspire sites either.

As for their games, most of the top slots providers in the game are on board including Microgaming, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Yggdrasil and many more.

50% of Aspire sites offer Evolution Gaming live games, with NetEnt as the standard.

If they do offer Evo games, you should find almost all of the newest and best titles such as Monopoly LIVE or Live Roulette.

L&L Europe LTD

L&L is the platform of choice for eight European casinos currently, with five having closed in the past few years.

A couple of their well-known clients include Fun Casino and Yeti Casino, both of which are excellent sites.

One thing we should note is that, for some reason, no L&L sites are available to players in France.

A uniquely themed client of L&L is No Bonus Casino, who offer (as you might think) no bonuses.

They make up for that with a constant 10% cashback on any losses. We don’t particularly rate that to be honest, but it’s definitely something different and some players might find it attractive.

L&L Casinos generally provide very fast banking systems, with a flat 24-hour pending period and then 24-hours or less on all e-wallets – including PayPal in many cases.

As for their games, they have deals with most of the top slots providers including all the most popular jackpots like Mega Moolah, Divine Fortune, Hall of Gods and more.

L&L casinos generally go for NetEnt as their live casino provider, although some will also feature Evolution Gaming too.

Commonality

One of the major advantages of playing at white label sites is you know exactly what you’re getting.

If you enjoyed one casino on the platform, chances are you’ll find a similar setup and game collection at another.

In fact, this also applies to payment methods in most cases.

Control

Want to block yourself from gambling for a while? We’ve all been there.

With white label platforms, limiting your account at one site will automatically do so with all the other sites in the group. Easy game.

Stability

Picking a new casino can be a tough choice.

If a new site is based on a white-label, you’re less likely to encounter any hitches in and glitches in the early days of the site.

You’ll also be guaranteed safety for your funds, as well as the ability to quickly find a similar site should things go belly up – which does happen occasionally in a competitive market.

Additional Safety Net

There have been a few times when a white label of a major provider goes broke.

In most of the cases, the platform supplier comes in and settles any outstanding player payouts from their own pocket.

So playing at a white label casino, in a sense, can provide additional assurance of getting paid.

Of course, this is in no way guaranteed.

Lack Of Innovation

In many cases, such as is the case with Nektan and Progressplay powered casinos, there really is not much going on.

Yes, they provide a decent range of game suppliers, but anything else is nonexistent.

Forget gamification, loyalty wheels or anything around those lines. It does not happen.

iGaming Cloud might be the only exception to this at the moment, as their casinos seem to have much more freedom in tech terms.

Robotic Offers

In a similar fashion, as it is with innovation, the less expensive cookie-cutter white labels usually don’t run their own CRM systems.

What happens in reload bonuses and other offers is that the white label provider is the one that usually sends out very similar offers to the entire database.

So if you register at 20+ casinos of the same platform, you might get matching offers for all the sites.
