Golden Lion
Welcome to Golden Lion Casino
We’ve been part of the casino scene since 2016, bringing a taste of classic Las Vegas style together with the latest in online gaming technology. Our platform runs on Rival Powered, offering a smooth experience whether you’re browsing games or managing your account. Golden Lion Casino is owned and operated by Blue Media N.V. and holds an e-Gaming licence from the Government of Curaçao (No. 1668/JAZ). Please note, we’re not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, so real-money play isn’t open to UK residents.
What Sets Us Apart
Our site is designed for easy navigation and fast game loading, using modern HTML5 and robust 128-bit SSL security verified by Comodo. We’re dedicated to responsible gambling, with deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and support links such as GamCare and Gambling Therapy.
Bonuses for New Players
Players based outside the UK can enjoy a 250% slots bonus up to £2,500 with the code LIONWELCOME (35× wagering, max bet £8). For table game fans, there’s a 100% bonus up to £500, under the same terms.

Licensing and Security
Legal Authorisation
We operate Golden Lion Casino under the ownership of Blue Media N.V., holding Master Gaming Licence No. 1668/JAZ from the Government of Curaçao. The Curaçao eGaming authority oversees our adherence to anti-money-laundering regulations and responsible gaming standards. At present, we do not hold a UK Gambling Commission licence, which means real-money play is restricted for residents of the United Kingdom.
Regulatory Compliance
To maintain our licence with Curaçao, we submit quarterly financial statements and random number generator (RNG) reports, and we undergo fairness audits by independent labs such as iTech Labs. Our games use a certified RNG that adheres to ISO/IEC 17025 standards for fair and unbiased results.
Data Protection and Player Safety
We use 256-bit SSL encryption from Sectigo to secure all transactions, and Cloudflare® protects our platform from DDoS attacks. Player safety features include two-factor authentication for account access, PCI-DSS-compliant payment processing, and mandatory KYC checks for withdrawals over €2,000.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) for accounts
- PCI-DSS payment security
- KYC required for large withdrawals
Within the cashier, responsible gaming tools are available, including deposit limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion for up to five years. Our anti-money-laundering team monitors all deposits, helping to keep the environment safe and transparent for eligible players.
Game Library
At Golden Lion Casino, we feature a library of over 220 RNG games, brought together by leading providers like Rival Gaming, Betsoft, and Saucify. Our collection covers every major genre UK players expect to find, offering both variety and quality.
Slots
Our slots section includes more than 150 titles, from classic 3-reel games like Diamond Cherries to innovative “i-Slots” with story elements such as Cosmic Quest and As The Reels Turn. Progressive jackpots are a highlight here, with Major Moolah and Strike Gold starting at £30,000 and £15,000. Most video slots come with 20 to 50 paylines and include features like expanding wilds and free spins.
Table Games
We offer a choice of blackjack (single-deck, multi-hand, European), roulette (European and American), baccarat, craps, pai gow, and red dog poker. All our table games are independently tested, delivering an average RTP of 96%. Optional side bets and speed settings are available on most titles.
Live Dealer
Currently, we do not offer live dealer games at Golden Lion. All options are in RNG format. Players interested in live blackjack, roulette, or other live tables can look out for future updates in our promotions section.
Specialty Games
Our “Other Games” tab features over 20 instant-win titles, including keno, bingo, sudoku, scratch cards like Cavalier Cash, and fishing arcades such as Cast for Cash. Tickets start at just £0.10, with top prizes reaching up to £5,000 for a single draw.

Software Providers
Game Developers We Trust
At Golden Lion, we work with a select group of software providers known for consistency and fair play. Rival Gaming stands at the core of our platform, powering more than 200 slots and table games, including their signature i-Slots range. Players will recognise titles like Reel Crime and Mystic Wolf. Rival’s random number generator is certified by iTech Labs, and most games feature a return to player rate close to 96 percent.
We also feature Betsoft, a studio celebrated for 3D video slots such as The Slotfather II and Stampede. Betsoft’s games run on HTML5, so play remains smooth on desktop and any mobile browser. You’ll also find several jackpot options within their catalogue.
How Our Platform Works
Rival’s Casino Controller forms the backbone of our lobby, supported by Betsoft’s Shift platform. This combination means quick load times, encrypted sessions with 256-bit SSL, and automatic recovery if your connection drops. We host all games on secure AWS servers, with daily penetration testing to protect your data. Whether you start on desktop or switch to mobile, your session continues without any downloads. Both Rival and Betsoft push monthly updates, so you’ll always have access to new features, verified RTPs, and responsible gaming tools like reality-check pop-ups, all available to our UK players.
