Casino Locarno SA has received official licensing (No. 2023-B-10-E) from the Federal Council to operate the online casino Casineo, making it one of Switzerland's legal online casinos.

      

      

For a game to be offered on casineo.co.uk, it must first be tested and approved by the Federal Gaming Board (FGB). The FGB confirms that all technical requirements under Swiss law are met. In addition, all games are regularly checked by independent certification bodies. Furthermore, every game undergoes rigorous testing by the Casineo team both before it is made available and at regular intervals thereafter. Casineo is responsible for ensuring the correctness of the games.

      

      

As a licensed Swiss casino, Casino Locarno SA is subject to strict legal regulations. The casino must therefore have sufficient equity capital and liquidity reserves to secure customer deposits and potential large winnings from individual games.

The game bonus rewards existing customers who place real money bets of a defined amount in a specified game. The bets are added up over the entire duration of the campaign, so the defined amount does not have to be reached in a single bet or in a single day (for campaigns lasting longer than one day). If there are several levels, the bonuses are credited when the respective level is reached; wh en a higher level is reached, the difference to the level already reached is credited. The bonus can be offered in the form of a cash bonus or free spins. The form in which the bonus is awarded is defined within the campaign. The game in which the bets must be placed is also defined within the campaign. Bets placed in other ga mes do not count towards achieving the goal. The free spins received can only be redeemed in the defined game (or games). Only real money bets count towards achieving the goal; bets placed with bonus money or free spins do not count towards achieving the goal. Here is another example of this bonus to illustrate: To participate in the campaign, you must see the mission in your sidebar widget. If you do not see the campaign in your sidebar widget, you are not eligible to participate in this campaign.If a player places real money bets between CHF 20 and CHF 50 in the Book of Ra game within a week, they will receive free spins worth 20% of their bet. The free spins are awarded in three stages:

• Place bets in Book of Ra worth CHF 20 and receive 10 free spins worth CHF 0.40 each.
• Place bets in Book of Ra worth CHF 40 and receive 20 free spins worth CHF 0.40 each.
• Place bets in Book of Ra worth CHF 50 and receive 25 free spins worth CHF 0.40 each.

In this fictional campaign, you would have one week to place your bets. Once you have place d bets worth CHF 20 in Book of Ra, you will receive 10 free spins credited to your player profile. When you reach the CHF 40 limit, you will receive another 10 free spins, and when you reach the CHF 50 limit, you will receive another 5. In this example, you would have received a total of 25 free spins for bets worth CHF 50.

      

      

Free spins are free rounds that you can use on one or more games. These are made available as part of Casineo promotions.

      

      

You can find all current bonus promotions under "Bonus offers." We also recommend activating the SMS and Email communication channels so that you are always informed about the latest bonus prom otions.

      

      

A limit allows you to better control your gaming behavior and play responsibly, while also all owing you to focus on other things in life.

      

      

In Switzerland, setting a loss limit is mandatory. At Casineo, you enter the maximum amount you are willing to lose per day, week, or month. Example: With a daily limit of CHF 100 and CHF 200 in your account, you can play until you have CHF 100 left.

      

      

You can set a betting limit that is independent of wins or losses. Each bet will be deducted fr om this limit. Example: With a daily limit of CHF 100, you can play 50 times at CHF 2 each.

      

      

With a deposit limit, you determine how much money you want to deposit in a certain period of time.

      

      

The loss limit is a net loss limit. Example: If you have set your limit to CHF100 per day and have CHF200 in your Casineo account, you can play until you have CHF100 left in your account. Any winnings you make in the meantime will not count towards the loss limit.

      

      

To change a limit, you can make these adjustments in your account under “Responsible Gaming.” If you reduce a limit or add a new one, the change will take effect immediately. If a limit is increased or removed, the change will only take effect after 24 hours. These changes can only be made by you and cannot be expedited

      

      

Gambling addiction occurs when those affected can no longer control their gambling behavi or. Gambling becomes a dominant urge and increasingly takes center stage in their lives. Their thoughts constantly re volve around gambling—the next opportunity to gamble, a possible (big) win, obtaining money for further gambling, or hiding losses. You can find more informat ion on this topic in your player account in the “Responsible Gaming” section.

      

      

As a rule, early signs that may indicate future gambling addiction can be detected in those affected. Our self-assessment test is a tool that helps you recognize any warning signs yourself.

The payout ratio indicates what percentage of the stake is returned to the player in the long term. The higher this value, the higher the player's chances of winning. The payout ratio is often referred to as RTP (return to player), “house edge,” or “payout percentage.” For example, if you bet a total of CHF 100 and the slot pays out CHF 95, the RTP is 95%. This payout ratio does not necessarily reflect your personal winnings, but is calculated across all players on this slot. For example, the slot pays back 75% of winnings to one player and 93% to another. If the next player wins a large sum, they could win an RTP of 163%, for example. However, the amount you bet has no influence on your chances o f winning. You can find detailed information on the theoretical payout ratio for each slot mac hine in the help or info section of the respective game. This is the percentage of bets that are paid back to the player in the form of winnings in the l ong term.

      

      

Table games usually have a higher payout ratio than slots. So if you're not having much luck with slots, try one of our table games such as blackjack, roulette, or baccarat.
