Yukon Gold Casino Review & Promotions List

Registration process

To gain access to both the full assortment of games and to Yukon Gold Casino offers, UK players must first make an account.

UK players will be required to provide the following details:

• Full name, address, gender, and occupation
• Preferred currency, the default one for UK players being GBP

Know your costumer procedure

Regarding the know your customer procedure, it is not mandatory on first registering. Still, it becomes so when depositing and visiting the promotions tab, will require the following documents:

• Identity proof: ID card, Driver’s license, passport
• Address proof: bank statement, utility bill

Also, the website may request further documents to prove a source of funds per their Anti Money Laundering policy:

• Front and back pictures of debit cards used to deposit or withdraw
• Statements of debit card, eWallet and bank account
• Payslips, dividend statements, pension statements and tax, returns to prove regular income
• Inheritance, property sales document and gambling earnings evidence to prove savings origins

Dormant account policy

There is also a dormant account policy in place. After a period of inactivity on the player’s part, the gambling platform will employ specific actions such as administration fees that deduct a sum from the player’s account monthly.

The gambling website’s inactive status becomes active after 60 days since the last recorded wager on Yukon Gold Casino promotions, bet, deposit, or withdrawal. Instead of deducting a monthly sum, the player’s accrued balance of both bonus and cash will be removed.

The bonus funds will be forfeited, but gamblers can withdraw the cash balance if the player successfully passes verification questions.

Privacy policy

We think it’s important that a casino is forthright with its data collection policy, so that UK players know that their personal information is safe and sound. Thankfully, this betting platform is transparent when it comes to this particular instance.

So, without further ado, here is what the site collects from its UK players:

• Name, date of birth and gender
• Certain details of contract that include email, postal address, and phone number
• ID documents comprised of ID photo, proof of address, bank statements and utility bill
• Account username
• Credit card details or other payment related data
• Communication exchanged between players and the casino by way of emails and messages
• Information on online activity by the likes of IP address, internet browser and devices used to access the website
• Information related to account activity, wagers, deposits, and withdrawals

What also matters is how this information is used in general. Below is what our experts found about their uses:

1. Account setup – personal information is used to set up and administer the account, as well as when providing support, verifying identity or processing payments
2. Verification – information is used to verify age and accuracy of sign in details, including such information when disclosing to third parties by the likes of financial institutions
3. Personalisation – it may be possible that details are used in order to improve and develop new features that are based on customer preferences, which are in turn determined from analysis of patterns and usage
4. Risk management – the same information goes here from the verification subsection, with the same purposes
5. Marketing communication – details are used when taking in account communications that serve legitimate interests, marketing materials including instructions on how to opt out of receiving future communications
6. Regulatory and legal obligations – personal information may be used to prevent crime and fraudulence, as well as to be sent to regulatory agencies and government authorities, should there be the case
7. Profiling or other automated individual decision making – in this case, information is used to make better assumptions of player interests and preferences, and may be taken from gameplay, location and other verification needed instances

User experience

Besides the games and Yukon Gold Casino offers, here we focused on how this betting platform handles itself as an overall experience. Taking this into consideration, our experts tried and tested the gambling website on desktop, mobile and tablet to come up with specific experiences on these devices:

Desktop

The first thing to mention about this platform is separating the main pages. After creating an account, the whole interface will change to accommodate its games selection and other account necessities. While the feel is the same, they are entirely different.

The central theme is akin to fields and hills, with grounded colours like brown and green and sunset dipped nuances for its initial homepage, especially for the Yukon Gold Casino promotions pictures on the main page.

It does not bore the eyes, and while it is not necessarily a pleasure to sift through the website, it cannot be considered a chore. Best said it is neutral in this regard.

Interface

Talking about the separation of homepages, this could be detrimental to the user-friendliness aspect. To constantly change between the pages can be bothersome.

To log in, players have to press the play here button on the main page, which will take them to the registration process, but saving the username and password in the browser’s history and clicking on the auto-login button will fix this problem.

What is also worth mentioning is the straightforward arrangement of the game categories. Should UK players have unclarities about how bonuses work, reaching the terms and conditions on the main page is just a scroll away.

The terms and conditions also prove helpful as no stone is left unturned in them. Everything is plainly explained to understand better how everything ties in together.

Performance

Performance-wise, the website is not perfect. For our testers, it had fast loading times, no lagging while scrolling and quick changing between categories. At least for the main page, things ran smoothly.

Analysing it with the help of GTmetrix, an online tool for calculating a website’s effectiveness, it got a 96% score in performance.

On the other hand, the account page is slow and changing between categories may sometimes freeze the site. Loading times do not fare much better. GTmetrix gave it 21% in performance.

Interruptions of activity

There is also the matter, while unlikely, of a gambling platform to stop working, something that can happen for this one as well. Should that be the case, we dug up the following measures this casino has listed for such situations:

• The gambling platform will not accept any liability for damages or losses which have resulted from connection problems or software issues on the website’s part, such as loss or corruption of data. It may also close account in such situations
• If systems and communication errors happen related to generating random numbers, bets or other actions, the website will not be liable to players and may void all bets that have taken place in the games
• Should the system malfunction, all wagers placed in that period will be removed, as well as any earning that may have resulted from said malfunction. This could cover operating system, software failures or web browser glitches

Mobile

The mobile version of the website is good enough to make playing while on the go acceptable. For our testers, the mobile version actually runs a little bit better than the desktop version.

It is also greatly optimised for the more cramped interface that comes with devices that have smaller screens.

VIP

VIP service is available for their players, and this is where unique Yukon Gold Casino offers come into play.

UK players have to play and garner VIP points to climb the VIP ladder. These VIP points are accrued by wagering on the different available games. Generally, with every £10 wagered, a VIP point will be collected.

Here are de different VIP points earn rates for other games:

Earning 50 VIP points will automatically convert to 1 Status Point, which determines the status level in the VIP section.

These are the required points to level up for each VIP ladder.

VIP levels and benefits

UK players have at their disposal the following ranks for the VIP service:

1. Green
2. Bronze
3. Silver
4. Gold
5. Platinum
6. Diamond

While there are essential VIP rewards such as high roller bonuses, special Yukon Gold Casino promotions on birthdays and weekly offers, this VIP shines in its benefits outside of the gambling sphere.

We mean exclusive advantages for members of higher levels, especially gold, platinum, and diamond.

One that is common to all, except green, is the Time Of Your Life Sweepstakes, which offers players physical gifts such as motorcycles, PlayStation sets, tv sets and much more.

Exclusive to diamond, UK players that reach this level will have a 5-star dining benefit and sporting tickets for events of this kind.

Responsible gambling

In terms of responsible gambling, we found the following features:

1. Deposit limits – players can set daily, weekly, and monthly limits
2. Session reminder – built-in feature into the software that shows time spent gambling
3. Take a break – period of 24 hours, up to 6 weeks which prevents playing and use of Yukon Gold Casino promotions
4. Self-exclusion – a more prolonged take a break, extending to six months and up to five years
5. Account closure – indefinite closure by contacting live chat support
6. Links on the website to gambling help organisations and software that blocks gambling and keeps underage gambling in check.
7. Advice on how to prevent gambling addiction
8. Financial activity monitor – available from the banking page
9. Game history – can be accessed from the profile section
