Unfortunately Matchup Casino no longer has the deposit match bonus offer that gave it its name – it’s reverted to the standard Jumpman spin the wheel affair.
Now I have always thought it would be a great idea to have a more interactive casino concept, maybe merging a meeting or dating platform with a gaming site. So when the relatively new Matchup Casino popped up I was thinking someone else had the same idea. Unfortunately from that aspect I was mightily disappointed. Matchup Casino takes its name from its original welcome offer when it first opened in 2023. Sadly that offer has now been withdrawn, making a nonsense of the name of this casino with their welcome offer now in line with the majority of other Jumpman sites. Matchup Casino now with next to no theme immediately looks and operates much like the greater part of their sister sites. However, as the old saying goes, looks aren’t everything, it’s what on the inside that counts. So is Matchup Casino, “everything you have been searching for,” is signing up here, “written in the stars,” let’s take a closer look and find out.
Jumpman Gaming Limited has been in operation since 2009. It is very well known within the gaming industry, delivering good reputable casino platforms with a wide range of slots, bingo and games from a number of top industry game providers. Matchup Casino’s homepage is colourfully dominated by a deep purple with pink and white breaking it up a bit. The design of their platform is rather simplistic which makes navigating your way around a very straightforward affair. At the top on desktop or within the 3 white lines on mobile are links to your account and trophies gained from completing certain tasks. (more on that a bit later) Towards their eye-catching logo you will see a link to all the games and promotions on offer. You get the feeling here that the focus is on a good game selection with game tiles a good size and the layout all very neat and tidy. There are 1200+ games available here which include Bingo, Live Casino and a range of Jackpot slot titles, with certainly a lot more on offer here than you may first expect.
Matchup Casino has the standard Jumpman welcome offer to get you started. New customers have a chance to spin a Mega Reel where you can receive up to 500 free spins on selected slot games on your 1st deposit of just £10. Please be mindful that prizes vary and you could be given Amazon vouchers instead (or nothing if you’re really unlucky). Free spins come with wagering requirements on the higher side of 65x but still offer a bit of value. You can also spin the Mega Reel for every £20 deposit you make until you make a withdrawal.
The registration process was quick and extremely simple, taking a couple of minutes. You will receive a welcome text message and email. Additionally, you get to choose how you receive messages from them. There are protection tools in place to set deposit limits and reality checks. You can find these in the responsible gambling section towards the bottom of any page on their site. Matchup Casino will try to verify your account when you open it; however, you could be asked for further verification. Being required to provide ID and proof of address is completely normal and nothing to worry about with this platform practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.
It’s always good to see live bingo available with Matchup Casino having 9 bingo rooms provided by Pragmatic Play. Some run more regularly than others and games include a 30 ball game via the Zoom Room, 75 ball if you head to the Country Road Room, BoomBox is a 80 ball game and The Jackpot Room is one of the 90-ball games available. Other games include Animingo and Bingo Blast to name a couple.
Prizes range from £1 in the Boombox room to a £30,000+ jackpot within the Country Road room. Some rooms are quite steady with 70+ players present when we visited, others a little quieter. There are a few rooms which are open 24/7 so games are always available. When entering a bingo room and clicking the home icon in there I was introduced to numerous bingo room options. For starters you can play up to 4 different games at the same time by clicking or tapping on the + icon within any bingo room. There are also some great filter options which help you narrow down what type of game you want to play by prizes, players or time. You can even change your dab colour and shape, make an avatar and change your ticket size if you like the personal touch. Stakes on games suit all budgets with 1p to 3p games available in the Zoom Room at times with 25p games in the Heavy Weight rooms. You can buy pre-tickets for future games but this is restricted to half an hour before the game starts which can have its constraints. There are also no chat rooms which is a little bit disappointing but ideal if you just want a quiet relaxed game.
You will certainly be matched up (sorry I couldn’t help myself) with your favourite slot titles as it is here where this site really gets into full flow. The all games link within the homepage on desktop or within the 3 white lines on mobile leads you to a lobby area where there are a couple of ways to access a good variety of slot titles. The popular area has featured titles, cult classics and our favourites categories.
A strong point in relation to the majority of Jumpman platforms is that they are exceptional in delivering new titles. Their new section is updated weekly and at the time of writing Hacksaw Gaming’s quirky new title Pray for Three was at home there also beside 50 other brand new games. Under the slots tab titles are divided into game themes. The Gone Fishing area contains 85+ titles including the Big Bass and Fishin’ Frenzy series of games. The Tales of Egypt section has 160+ titles running alongside the Cosmic Adventures section with a massive 250+ titles. Other themed areas include a well stocked Megaways and Mystical and Magical sections.
With navigating your way around is uncomplicated it can be a little bit difficult to pinpoint what you are looking for. This platform does have a basic search function so if you know the name of the game you want to play then great. However, with no way to search titles by way of your favourite games providers or to save your games once you have managed to find them, this element of their site is very limited which is a little frustrating.
On a positive note, Jackpot slots here, which is mainly a Eyecon affair, has its own category with 60+ titles to choose from, including everyone’s favourite pink elephant Fluffy, Clover Rollover 2, Bouncy Balls 2 and Beez Kneez all neatly placed alongside each other.
With the wide range of slots and bingo on offer you will not be too surprised that there is also Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat in both live and video format within the casino and live tabs. The live element here is mainly supplied by Playtech and although there isn’t a huge amount of choice when it comes to these games, what they offer is well delivered. It is a little bit discouraging that there isn’t a game show section or many of these games to actually choose from. However we did find a few via the search function, so if you know the name of your favourite game show you might get lucky and it could just be here. We found Vegas Ball Bonanza, Mega Wheel, Adventures Beyond Wonderland and 9 Pots of Gold live to name a few.
There is also a small variety of Instant Wins, Lucky Tap, Plinko, Keno and Crash games via the search function. Lastly there is a noteworthy Slingo section within the slot category. If you have never given these games a go this is a good place to start as they have a whopping 60+ titles to select from, some of which are themed on your favourite slots including Starburst, Rainbow Riches and Davinci Diamonds.
Alongside the Matchup Casino welcome offer mentioned earlier are a few ongoing promotions; these include a rewards reel, prize draws, tournaments and weekly free spins promotions by entering deposit codes to name a few. Noteworthy is Matchup Casino’s Trophy promotion which rewards trophies for certain tasks that unlock more free spins. Reach the 200 Trophy mark and you are awarded with a free £10 Amazon voucher.
There are an array of banking options here; these include a Debit Card, Paypal, Skrill and Apple Pay from a mobile device. Please note deposits via Pay by Mobile incur a £2.50 transaction fee and all withdraws carry a flat fee of £2.50.
Lastly, there are a few customer support options available if you need any help and advice. You can contact Matchup Casino via Live Chat, by filling in a forma which you can find in the help link at the bottom of their homepage between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. You can also contact the casino by email or if you have general enquiries there is a good FAQ area.
This platform generally focuses on providing a good experience to its customers. It delivers brand new titles regularly and performs great on all user platforms. There are a few cracks but if you can look past these you could form a connection and just maybe this place could well be the perfect match for you.
65 x bonus on slots excluding progressive jackpots. Cash play does not contribute.
As at all Jumpman sites there’s a short Responsible Gaming document about the basic safer gambling tools with some advice and links. It satisfies Gambling Commission requirements with no frills.
