Founded in 2003 by the Virgin Group, UK-based online-gambling brand Virgin Games that is better known as Virgin Casino, was bought in 2013 by Gamesys, an online-gaming technology company that is traded in the London Stock exchange.  This powerful partnership of world-renowned Virgin that is associated with lifestyle, travel and entertainment; along with Gamesys that is a leader in online-gaming technology and innovation, made Virgin Casino one of the most admired online-gambling brands amongst younger players who identify with Virgin’s brand values of pride, fun, equality and creativity.

Virgin Casino in the USA

After establishing itself as one of the leading online casinos in Europe, Virgin Casino opened its virtual doors to New Jersey players in January 2014.  This, through a partnership with parent company Gamesys and local land-based Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City.  Powered by Gamesys and operating under the Tropicana licence, both Tropicana and Virgin offer online casinos that provide players with two of the best gaming experiences in the Garden State.

Virgin Casino is committed by Virgin Enterprises to the highest levels of customer safety and trust.  As for Virgin Casino’s platform: technology provider and parent company Gamesys brings two decades of experience in online-gaming tech development, setting industry standards for safety and reliability.

Looking at Virgin Casino’s local credibility, its partner Tropicana is the third-grossing casino in New Jersey and one of the longest-standing casinos in the state.  Tropicana’s remote-gaming licence which covers Virgin Casino is regulated by New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE).  So if you are looking for a name that you can trust, Virgin Casino is one of your top choices amongst online casinos in the Garden State.

Virgin Casino doesn’t offer as many payment methods as other New Jersey online-casinos do, but we still found a good combination of some of the market’s best payment options.  From credit cards and ACH e-Checking, to land-based methods like PayNearMe and the cool option of cash at the Tropicana Casino cage, you will find your best way to deposit funds and collect winnings at Virgin Casino.  We also liked the availability of Skrill on Virgin Casino, but would still wish for more e-Wallet solutions such as Paypal for example.

The partnership between Virgin and Gamesys sets Virgin Casino’s mobile app ahead of most online casinos in New Jersey.  Virgin Casino’s mobile app provides the same great look & feel, and the simple-yet-elegant design makes the experience on the app just as good, if not better than that provided on the main desktop-client.

Menus are simple and intuitive, and the Account area enables you to manage all your account settings through the app.  This includes Rewards, Deposits, Withdrawals, Responsible-Gaming settings and more.  When it comes to the game library, under 30 games are offered on the app, of which about 20 are slots and a few table games including blackjack, roulette and video poker.  The Virgin Casino app is available for both iOS and Android users.

The Promotions section at Virgin Casino is lively and colorful, with both limited-time and ongoing promotions and prizes.  The promo we liked most was the Community Jackpot which is a shared prize pool that is divided between everyone who played on any game at Virgin Casino on the hour when the jackpot was won by someone.

The top prizes for the community jackpot are:

• Platinum: $10,000
• Gold: $5,000
• Silver: $1,000
• Red: $500

The prize is also topped off with the community share which can be as high as an additional $20,000.

Virgin Casino offers a Refer A Friend bonus, where each friend you refer gets a $10 bonus, as well as a $50 bonus that you will receive for the referral.  There are also Daily Free Games where you can win free spins and other prizes.  We recommend you check the Promotions section regularly to make sure you don’t miss on any of Virgin’s cool offers.
