About Griffon Casino
I must be getting old as the first thing that popped into my head was the now extinct Midland Bank which had a distinctive Griffin logo back in yesteryear.
Unlike the Midland Bank, Griffon Casino which was launched in 2020 has recently decided on a change of scenery. Originally part of the Aspire Global network they have now moved platforms, and at the end of 2024 became part of the White Hat Gaming family.
This established casino platform is highly regarded in the gaming industry. Furthermore, it hosts a number of sister sites which include Karamba, who have been around for 20+ years.
Griffon Casino now boasts a massive catalogue of games and claims to have 3500+ (I’m definitely not going to check and count them all…), provided by pretty much everyone you can think of including Blueprint, Play’nGo, Pragmatic Play and Big Time Gaming to name a few. Alongside all the games here, there is also a sportsbook providing an all round gaming experience under one umbrella which is great to see.
When moving to the new platform, Griffon Casino did not migrate their existing customers with them, so effectively this is a brand new site with customers old and new invited to register a new account. So if you did have an account here before you can simply sign up again and enjoy the benefits.
Design and User Experience
When arriving on their landing page you are instantly eyeballed by their stunning silver griffin, however this is the only place you really see it apart from the small logo as you explore your way around. The platform is of a white design with some blue and orange breaking it up a bit.
The great thing here is that everything is pretty much available from the lobby area with quick link icons spread across the top and right hand side. There are links on the left via the three white dots to the three available lobby areas, promotions, responsible gaming and customer support. It’s all there instantly and not hidden away which is a massive thumbs up.
The layout is pretty self explanatory and general navigation is very simple with game tiles very neat and orderly. Although there isn’t too much categorisation within the casino area with only a handful available.
This surprised me a little given that there is so much game choice here. It does make the casino feel uncluttered though. Griffon Casino makes up for the lack of categorisation by supplying a powerful search function which makes finding all your favourites painless. You can find games by both name and provider which is really useful in pinpointing what you’re looking for.
Griffon Casino most definitely delivers on various user metrics and is very much mobile and tablet friendly. With this casino pretty much a reflection of the desktop version. Playing on the go, in front of the TV or even soaking in the bath is straightforward via a mobile browser.
There is an app on the horizon, but at the time of writing it’s currently unavailable. To be perfectly honest though Griffon Casino operates wonderfully without one.
Sportsbook
If you visited here at a glance you could miss the fact that this site has a sportsbook. The only mention of this is the link to sports on their homepage!
So my first impression was why aren’t Griffon Casino flaunting this part of their business as they are pretty much a complete gaming package?
Nevertheless, they sell themselves short as their sportsbook is, although no frills, pretty good. Firstly, I noticed that all the odds are in decimal and if this doesn’t suit, you can change it to fractional via the setting icon. Horse and greyhound racing is unavailable here, but all worldwide football is plus many other sports including golf, tennis and basketball. With plenty of markets to bet on under one umbrella, including a virtual sports area, navigating around is again uncomplicated.
There is also a well stocked betting in-play area and boosted prices running across the middle. A great feature here is that you can look at fixtures and events by date/day, rather than scrolling through other days before you get to what you’re looking for. There is also a results area handy.
Slots and Games Available
As mentioned early, there isn’t much categorisation within the casino lobby but there are a host of titles to choose from.
I started in the “New” section which is updated every week. Titles there included Fishin Frenzy The Big Catch 2 and the great new tumble game The Golden Pot and Pints. The Popular section included a heap of big bass series titles and Gold Blitz Ultimate.
There is also a Drops and Wins section with 30+ Pragmatic Play games at home there. The search function here takes the all round player usability and general site navigation to another level. I wondered why there weren’t many categories of slot games here. I can now see why that is, as you can pretty much do this when searching for games by provider. All game providers have their own drop down box and this will list all their games when making a selection. There are 120+ titles by Blueprint and 50+ by Thunderkick to name a couple when I had a quick search.
Progressive Jackpot Slots fans rejoice! There are 100+ titles to choose from including Jackpot King, Rapid Fire Jackpots, WowPot and Mega Moohlah all under their own category in the lobby area.
Alongside the choice of slot games are some great Live Casino selections. With its own lobby area, Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat are all well represented. They are generally provided by Pragmatic Play and Evolution.
From here this section becomes a little messy. There is no category for game shows yet you can find all your favourites via the search function. Crazy Time, Monopoly Live and Lightning Storm are all available. In fact when it comes to other popular games, everything is available by means of the search function this includes Slingo, Instant Wins, Video Table Games and a Crash game. I’m torn. I do like the search function but you do need to know what you’re looking for.
Bonus and Promotions
Griffon Casino has a delightful welcome package that suits all different bankrolls. It is a 100% matched deposit bonus up to £100 plus 20 bonus spins. You can start your casino experience here with a minimum of £10 by clicking or tapping on the link above. It does come with an acceptable wagering requirement of 35x and the matched bonus winnings are uncapped which is great to see.
Ongoing promotions at the time of writing include various amounts of bonus spins when you deposit on certain days of the week. Other promotions here tend to be account specific so make sure you tick the box to receive offers by email on sign up or within your account settings.
Payment Methods and Security
Opening an account is effortless taking no more than a couple of minutes at most. There are also options to set deposit limits and reality checks within the process. You will be prompted with a safer gambling message which you have to click to agree that you have read the message.
Additionally, you get to choose how you receive messages from Griffon Casino. You also receive an email with a link to verify your email address. Griffon Casino will try to verify your account when you open it. However, you could be asked for further verification before you play. Being required to provide ID and proof of address is completely normal and nothing to worry about with Griffon Casino practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.
Griffon Casino accepts a good range of payment methods. These include a Debit card, Apple Pay and Skrill and there are no charges for any deposits or withdrawals.
Final Thoughts
Griffon Casino is a neat and tidy casino delivered by a reputable casino provider. It offers a well rounded gaming experience all under one umbrella, with an added sportsbook. Additionally if you previously had an account here you have the option of signing up again which is a massive plus.
