Introduction

Golden Reef Casino have been around for what feel like forever (since 2001 to be precise) and aim to offer a highly entertaining and very trustworthy online casino.

Golden Reef offers a free money welcome bonus for new players and a loyalty program to encourage regular play (see review below for full details).

Casino Software

Golden Reef Casino is powered using Microgaming software. All of the games are free to download and can be played instantly.

There are currently more than 350 games available to play at Golden Reef Casino. These include all of the typical favourites such as blackjack, roulette, loads of slot games, scratch cards, video poker, etc.

All of Golden Reef's casino game results are generated by an independently audited 'random number generator' and the games/payouts are independently audited monthly. You can view the most recent payout report at any time via the casino's website and they always show a highly attractive payout percentage.

The most recent payout report (December 2010) shows an overall payout for the month of 95.75%. The poker games show an even higher payout of almost 98%!

If you don't want to download the casino's software (perhaps when you're playing on a friend's computer) then you can easily visit the casino's website and play their 'instant flash games' via the browser. These generally offer an identical experience to the downloaded games but you do usually get a more rewarding experiencing by downloading. Try both versions and see which you prefer.

As mentioned above, the software behind Golden Reef Casino is provided by a company called Microgaming and they make available a few new games every month. These become instantly available for download via the casino's lobby. These are usually new variations on an existing theme - perhaps a new slot game or a new version of video poker - and you can choose if you want to download them and add them to your collection. There's no requirement to do so but they can be worth a look and only take a minute or two to download.

Welcome Bonus

Golden Reef Casino welcome all new players with a free money welcome bonus when you first deposit money into your account. Simply make your first real money deposit of £100 (or more) and Golden Reef will credit your account with £100 free.

The welcome bonus description could be explained bit better on the casino's website as it's not immediately clear whether you can deposit less than £100 and still get a deposit-match bonus. For example, on the promotions page it says "make your first deposit and receive a 100% Match Bonus up to £100". Note the 'up to £100' in there. Well, elsewhere it makes no reference to 'up to £100' and only states that you get £100 when you deposit £100. So, just to be safe, if you want the welcome bonus then you should deposit at least £100 when you make your first purchase at Golden Reef.

As always with a welcome bonus, there are terms and conditions attached. These come in the form of 'playthrough requirements' which means that you have to make a minimum number of bets before you can cashout winnings that you've made with the free bonus money. It's all laid out on the promotion's terms & conditions page but you can always decide not to bother taking the bonus and just play with your own money, making withdrawals whenever you feel like it. Given that the welcome bonus at Golden Reef is hardly wallet-busting, it's very tempting to play here without the welcome bonus but it's totally up to you.

When you become a player at Golden Reef, you will automatically become enrolled in their loyalty program where you earn 'loyalty points' as you play. It doesn't really matter what casino games you play or whether you win or lose, you'll still earn the points as you play. You can then exchange these loyalty points for real money in your player account. 1000 points = £10 and the money can build up nicely without you even realising it.

Support

Getting in touch with Golden Reef is simple and straightforward. Simply click the 'Support' link on their website and you'll be presented with a variety of methods of contacting their Customer Support team.

Golden Reef can be reached via a freephone 0800 telephone number or via e-mail. Even better, you can simply click to use their instant Live Chat facility and discuss anything in a chat window.

Summary

Golden Reef is an online casino that we've known of and recommended for some time now and it's perhaps their longevity and reliability that's most appealing about them. They don't really blow your mind in any way but they won't piss you off either. They offer a very good casino with fair, state-of-the-art games and when you win, you'll get paid.
