Golden Riviera Casino Review

Review last updated - July 2017

OVERVIEW | 6.52/10


Golden Riviera are part of the Star Partners group, formed after the merger of the Golden Star Network group and the Vegas Partner Lounge in 2008.

TRUSTWORTHINESS | 3/10


Only one of the reviewers who works for this site regularly holds an account with the Star Partners group of casinos and they held this for less than a year. They report positive experiences with Crazy Vegas casino.

The Vegas Partner Lounge group of casinos have been moved to Not Recommended status due to this complaint - https://thepogg.com/complaint/sun-vegas-confiscated-winnings/. Essentially this boils down to the casino only enforcing rules when it financially benefits them and making unfounded accusations of criminality against a player who had done nothing other than breach the maximum bonus rule for the bonuses that they'd played with.

The Crazy Vegas group have also been unresponsive to player complaints at other mediation sites.

Due to the design of their website, we are unable to monitor the terms and conditions at Golden Riviera casino.

Licensing | 10 / 10


GoldenRiviera hold the following gambling licenses :

  • United Kingdom Gambling Commission - The UKGC are widely considered to be the most reputable regulators involved in the online gambling market. They do not manage complaints for players directly, instead requiring their operators to appoint a UKGC accredited Alternative Dispute Resolution service. As such the value of this license for players depends largely on the professionalism of the ADR service utilised. GoldenRiviera currently use eCOGRA. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies here.
  • Malta Gaming Authority - In our experience the MGA is the best regulatory authority in terms of the management of player complaints. Their complaints team is open and cooperative in the discussion of player issues and we've managed to resolve a number of credible player issues working with the MGA. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies here.

Slots RTP


Golden Riviera Casino publish the house edge (RTP) of all of their slots games.

Comp Points


Golden Riviera casino do offer a comp point program. For every £10 wagered at Golden Riviera casino on slots games you will receive 1 Loyalty Lounge Point and every 1000 Loyalty Lounge Points can be converted to £5.

Not all games earn points at the same rates;

  • 1 Loyalty Point for 10 Credits wagered on Slots and Parlor Games
  • 1 Loyalty Point for 20 Credits wagered on Table Poker, Casino War, Red Dog and SicBo
  • 1 Loyalty Point for 40 Credits wagered on all Roulette
  • 1 Loyalty Point for 200 Credits wagered on Video poker, Craps, Baccarat
  • 1 Loyalty Point for 500 Credits wagered on all Blackjack and all Aces

For slots games this is about half as good as the standard Playtech comp point program and for all other games this is substantially weaker. Points also expire after 3 months if not redeemed.

Closing Thoughts


There are better Microgaming operators on the market that don't apply bonus policies only when it suits them. We'd recommend player find one of those other casinos.

Associated By Company


The below operators are run by the same company as this operator. This means that, for well regulated operators, self-exclusions or bonus bans may carry over to these properties. For poorly licensed, or unlicensed operators, it is good to know which other sites are being run by the same company, so you can avoid companies that have mistreated you in the past.

Other Associations


We believe the below operators to be associated with this operator in some fashion that is not immediately transparent. More information about these connections is usually available in the Trustworthiness section of the review.
