About Kerching.com:

The Kerching site was launched in 2007 and offers a full casino service both online and in mobile form. While a relatively young website, Kerching has strong ties to Barcrest, a slots developer with over 40 years of experience. In addition to this Kerching is also a part of the International Game Technology group- one of the largest gaming companies in the world and the owner of WagerWorks, a major software provider. This gives Kerching direct access to the high quality software provided by the company, with their website being directly operated by WagerWorks. Kerching certainly has the resources to provide a solid casino, so how does it work in practice?

Promotions:

The availability of promotions at Kerching definitely doesn't disappoint; there is a wide selection on offer, all clearly presented in the promotions section of the site. The welcome incentive is a 100% registration bonus from a minimum of £10 up to a maximum of £100. The bonus is not playable and an amount equal to 25 times the bonus award amount must be staked in order to convert it into cash for withdrawal.

A variety of other promotions are available to keep the excitement going after you've signed up. Diamond Weekender, for example, offers to match your deposit if you play the game Da Vinci Diamonds, make a deposit of up to £200 and turnover the amount 20 times. Another promotion offers to give you £20 free when you play a table game on Thursdays and turnover £250+. The promotions on offer are not only reasonable but they're clearly explained and fun to use; from the welcome bonus onwards, none of the promotions feel insubstantial or lacklustre.

Casino:

The casino website design itself is predominantly sparkly gold and black, creating a slightly garish feel. That said, the style isn't over the top and it certainly doesn't get in the way of the fun. In terms of navigation the site is well laid out and easy to find your way around. The home page has a join up link clearly displayed along with adverts and play now links to each of the game categories on offer. Using this system is easy and you'll be able to access you game of choice quickly. First, though, you'll want to register.

The registration process is quick and simple; you'll need to enter your personal details and then choose account settings such as your username, password and security question. An automatic system finds your address from your postcode but this can be edited if needed. Once you've finished you'll be asked if you want to deposit funds but this can be skipped if you want to do it later.

The list of games available on Kerching is of reasonable size and they can all be quickly accessed from the home page. Categories like roulette, black jack, slots and others appear as large adverts and they link to sets of games on a separate page. All games run in the browser at Kerching, removing the hassle (and perks) of a downloaded version.

You can play for cash or for free but unfortunately the option to choose between the two only shows up when you're not logged into the site. The game interfaces are of a high quality with enough stylistic attributes to make it fun while still remaining clean and easy to use. Each game comes with a game rules section to explain the system to newcomers. In addition to the online casino there is also a mobile facility available that requires a download to your phone. The software for the Kerching casino is, of course, provided by WagerWorks.

Payment Options:

The deposit methods available at Kerching are limited but not dire. Cards are accepted including all the usual options; Visa, Maestro, MasterCard and Solo are all usable. You can also use Neteller or Moneybookers to deposit your funds but unfortunately that is the full extent of your payment alternatives if you prefer not to use a card. Currency options are limited to the UK pound; a bit of a disappointment considering that most sites have at least 3 options.

Conclusion:

Kerching has a very solid casino offering. The promotions are all of high quality and there is no absence of choice here. The website itself is a little on the gaudy side but it's still subdued enough to not interfere with your experience and you'll have no problem getting straight into the well designed game interfaces. A help service is available but unfortunately the open hours are 8am to 2am rather than 24 hours a day (to be fair this is pretty close to a 24 hour system). All combined with a mobile offering this makes Kerching a good choice for casino players who prefer no sports betting, bingo or poker on the side.
