About Metal Casino

Metal Casino is the music-branded storefront in Skill On Net’s stable, and the international edition runs on the group’s Malta permission. The footer states that the site’s operations are regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority and that it is operated by Skill On Net Limited, Office 1/5297 Level G, Quantum House, 75 Abate Rigord Street, Ta’ Xbiex XBX 1120, under licence number MGA/CRP/171/2009/01 issued on 1 August 2018.

That number is worth more than most Malta references on this page, because the same company also holds national licences in Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain and Spain, all of which can be checked in public registers. A brand whose operator is visible in four national registers is a different proposition from one whose only paper trail is a Curaçao seal.

The welcome offer is a 100 per cent match up to €100 with 50 free spins on Book of Dead at €0.10 a spin, on a €10 minimum deposit. The wagering is where the arithmetic bites: 30 times the deposit plus the bonus together, and 60 times any free-spin winnings, with only slots counting. On a full €100 match that is €6,000 of turnover, an effective 60 times the bonus — six times what the same brand asks British players, who get a smaller bonus at 10 times.

The maximum stake while a bonus is live is the lower of ten per cent of the bonus and spin winnings or €5. Spins and bonus must be used before the deposited funds, and a deposit or welcome bonus can only be claimed once every 72 hours across every casino in the group.

Before any of that matters, check the country list, because it is long. The terms name around sixty countries whose residents may not deposit or play for real money, and it takes in most of Central and Western Europe: the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein among them, alongside Australia, Mexico, Singapore and the United States.

Ireland, Hungary, Croatia and Finland are not on the list. Slovak players are additionally barred from the live-casino section specifically. Anyone reading from a listed country should treat the brand as closed rather than assume a local edition will open — where the group does serve a market nationally, as in Sweden, Denmark, Britain and Spain, it does so through a separate licensed site.

The cashier is published in the terms rather than on a payments page, and it is unusually specific for this operator: credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro), Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, Payz, PaySafeCard, Sofort, Citadel instant payments, INTERAC, Webmoney and fast bank transfer. Minimums are €10 to deposit and €20 to withdraw, and the maximum withdrawal is €5,000 per transaction. A wire transfer carries a €10 surcharge, waived over €500; cards and online wallets are free.

Timing is the weak point: a withdrawal request sits pending until midnight GMT the following day and only then goes to the accounts department for processing on the next business day, though in some countries Trustly or Entercash can pay out within minutes. Withdrawals return to the deposit method, and the bonus balance is cancelled if a withdrawal is taken while a bonus is live.
