Bright Lights Casino Review

Bright Lights is a casino which lives up to its name, thanks to a homepage design that features the bright lights of Las Vegas at night. It is clear where this site is drawing its influences from and while is unlikely that Bright Lights will convey the authentic Vegas casino experience, as many of these sites claim to offer, it is nevertheless a capable site. Indeed, the best part of the site may well be the header that features the Las Vegas skyline. As you scroll further down the homepage, the effect dissipates and the remainder of the site looks distinctly lesson impressive.

Slots feature prominently on the site, mostly games by NetEnt such as Rainbow Riches and Jurassic World. There are also plenty of table games, mobile games, jackpot games and scratch cards available here. Although reasonable up to date, Bright Lights could definitely use an update of some description as it is clear that the site works better on desktop than it does on mobile or tablet. Nevertheless, this appears to be a site which has enough games here to keep most gamblers happy for some time to come.

About Bright Lights

Bright Lights is operated by ProgressPlay Ltd. They are a company based in Valletta in Malta and hold a gaming licence issued by the Malta Gaming Authority. They also hold a licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission. The primary audience that Bright Lights markets itself at is British-based and Swedish-based players. The site was launched in 2012 and on its About page explains how it is committed to promoting responsible gaming.

In terms of security, Bright Lights uses 128-bit SSL which is the industry standard for keeping customer data secure. Should you require customer services while using the site, there is a contact submission form available. There is also a live chat option that is available, although no telephone number. It is worth noting that if you would like to speak to a site operative via live chat, you first need to enter a few details in the form of your name and email address.

Brighter Banking?

There are plenty of deposit options to choose from at Bright Lights, though when you visit the deposits page you're greeted by a mismatch of fonts which are in different sizes, some of which are extremely squashed and rendered in uppercase making the whole page extremely hard to read. This is a problem which blights many ProgressPlay casinos unfortunately. The site accepts deposits made in British pounds, euros, dollars and Swedish krona and you can pay funds into your account with credit or debit card such as Visa, Mastercard and maestro.

PayByPhone is another option although this is only available to British mobile customers and the maximum amount that can be deposited is capped at £30 per day. There are also ewallets such as Neteller and Skrill and options such as Paysafecard, Instadebit and Trustly. There are a few other options as well which will suit European players. In terms of withdrawals, Bright Lights doesn't fare quite so well because it takes an extremely long time for withdrawal requests to be processed. Following an initial pending period of 3 business days, there is a processing period of 1 business day and then a transfer a period of up to 6 business days in the case of card. The minimum withdrawal amount is €20. On a brighter note, withdrawals made by Neteller will be slightly quicker as the transfer period only takes 1 business day.

Bright ad Breezy Bonuses

When you sign up at Bright Lights there is a casino bonus of 200% worth up to €200. This cash is subject to a 50x wagering requirement before it can be withdrawn. The remaining promotions are identical to those that you'll find at every other ProgressPlay site on the web. Unfortunately these promotions were never good to begin with, especially in the case of the generic Monday Madness.

You also have a weekly surprise which is revealed every Tuesday, an extreme blackjack marathon, which is a live game, and a game of the day on Wednesday's where there are free spins awarded. At weekends, players can claim 35% cashback on live dealer games and there is also 25% cashback on roulette. Finally, you get Happy Hour and a Golden Ball roulette tournament. Happy Hour incidentally is on Sundays where there are 5 free spins on the game of the week.

Dazzling Casino Games

As can be deduced from the homepage, slots are the main form of entertainment at Bright Lights. Although NetEnt are the main developer whose games are featured here in the form of such classics as Gonzo's Quest and Game of Thrones, there are other games by other developers too and these can all be played in demo mode if desired. Due to the layout of the homepage, an infinity style of grid view means that as you keep on scrolling down the games keep on loading. Nice as it is to see so many games available, it might make more sense if a different navigation style was used so that players can actually reached the bottom of the page.

Although the jackpot games don't look particularly nice, because games like Cash Splash and Fruit Fiesta are never going to be classy, there are some better games to be found elsewhere. For example you can play a good selection of roulette games including some live options and it is the same case with blackjack and baccarat. The mobile selection of games includes many of the slots again, with a smaller selection of virtual and live table games. Finally you have a range of casual games and it is here that you'll find instant win games such as Red Card and a few lottery-style games such as bingo and casino.

Bright’s All Right

Bright Lights isn't the greatest online casino you will ever encounter, although it is still better than many of the sites that this operator have put their name to. The site is best experienced on desktop, despite having a limited selection of mobile games. With over 350 games in total, there is certainly more than enough here to keep the average player entertained for a good time to come. Indeed, the games are probably the best part of the site, whereas other parts of this site are frustrating.

The lengthy wait for withdrawals to clear is one disappointing facet of the site and another is the uninspiring promotions. That being said, the welcome bonus which stands at 200% isn't bad at all, even if it is capped at €200. Despite having a few good things in its favour, Bright Lights still struggles to be anything other than an average online casino.
