SlotsMillion review: closed in the UK since April 2023

SlotsMillion is closed. It stopped taking UK players on 10 April 2023, the Alea licence that covered it has gone from the Gambling Commission register, and slotsmillion.com is now a “Coming soon” page for a casino comparison site with no games on it. If you had an account, the only contact the operator published is support@slotsmillion.com. Our score: 5.5 out of 10, which reflects a closure that was announced rather than a disappearance, a domain that at least is not being used to take bets from anyone, and a final two years in which players reported withdrawals held for weeks behind source-of-wealth checks.

SlotsMillion at a glance

What SlotsMillion was

Alea launched SlotsMillion in 2014 with a deliberately narrow pitch: slots only, from as many studios as it could sign, with a filter that let players sort the catalogue by provider, theme, volatility and feature. By closure the count was over 3,000 titles from more than 90 software providers, a number that was unusual in 2014 and still respectable in 2023. Table games and a live casino were added later, and the site’s own footer in 2021 said it “continuously strives to provide you with the best possible range of online slots from different suppliers, all in one fun, easy-to-use place”.

The thing most people remember is the virtual reality casino, a demo lobby built for the Oculus Rift in 2015 that let a player walk around a 3D room and open slots on virtual screens. It won Casinomeister’s Best New Casino award in 2015 and a Best Affiliate Program award in 2017. That history is why people still search for the brand three years after it closed.

Alea also owned LadyLucks, which it bought in 2017 and closed in 2019. If you played at both, they were sister sites. Our sister sites guide explains why brands under one company tend to close together, and the Alea pair is a clean example: one went in 2019, the other in 2023, and neither came back. Our LadyLucks review covers the first closure.

The welcome offer and its terms

The UK welcome package in its final form was 100% up to £20 plus 100 free spins, on a £10 minimum deposit. The spins were drip-fed: 40 on the first deposit, then 30 more at 24 hours and 30 at 48 hours, on Starburst, Twin Spin and Blood Suckers II. Three terms set the real value. Deposits made through e-wallets did not qualify for the bonus at all. Bets on table games and live casino did not count towards wagering. And the £20 ceiling was among the lowest in the UK market, which was in keeping with a site that sold itself on catalogue rather than bonus size.

Players in other markets saw a different package: Canada, for instance, was offered up to $500 plus 100 spins split across deposits. The gap between the UK and international offers was a feature of the last few years of UK regulation, where operators trimmed bonuses for British customers ahead of the affordability and wagering rules that later arrived.

Payments and withdrawals

The cashier took Visa and Mastercard debit, Trustly bank transfer, Neteller, Skrill, Paysafecard, ecoPayz and PayPal. Deposits were free and credited instantly, with a minimum of £20 (the welcome offer’s £10 was an exception) and a maximum of £1,000 per transaction. Withdrawals were free by every method except wire transfer, carried a £30 minimum and no stated maximum, and the operator’s line was that they were processed “usually within just a few hours, but it can take up to 24 hours”, with 0 to 5 working days on top for the bank or card to show the money. Weekend cash-outs were a selling point in the early years.

That is the published position. Trustpilot reviews from the last eighteen months of trading describe something different once a withdrawal got large. A £400 withdrawal in August 2022 stalled on a request for “evidence of income”, payslips and bank statements, with the account frozen while the player asked what else could be sent; it was paid a week later. A £1,500 win in November 2022 was held for two weeks and then could not be returned to the PayPal account it came from. A January 2023 review lists the documents requested on a first withdrawal: proof of address, proof of identity, a PayPal screenshot and a source-of-wealth document, all in PDF, with the operator citing clause 3.1.10 of its terms on enhanced due diligence. One from October 2022 describes a £550 withdrawal refused because the deposit came from a partner’s card on a shared account, with only the last £100 deposit refunded. On the other side, a February 2021 reviewer reported “fast withdrawals (Skrill)” and no issues, and a January 2023 player who won £800 from a £20 deposit was still waiting on a pending withdrawal when they wrote.

The pattern is one that ran across UK-licensed sites in 2022 and 2023, when the Commission’s affordability guidance pushed operators into source-of-funds checks at withdrawal rather than deposit. SlotsMillion did not invent it, but the reviews suggest it applied the checks late, after a win, and communicated them badly.

Games and software

The catalogue was the point. Over 90 providers were listed at closure, which meant a UK player saw NetEnt, Play’n GO, Microgaming, Pragmatic Play, Big Time Gaming, Yggdrasil, Thunderkick, ELK, Quickspin, Red Tiger and Playtech (added in 2021, announced on the site’s news page) alongside dozens of smaller studios that most UK lobbies never carried. The filter system let players search by studio, theme, features, reels and volatility, which is standard now and was not in 2014. A jackpot feed listed the progressive pools. Live tables came from Evolution and were, by the site’s own bonus terms, excluded from wagering.

Two Trustpilot complaints from early 2023 allege “all Play’n GO running below 92%” and the “worst RTP I have ever experienced”. Those are player impressions, not measurements, and a licensed site’s RTP settings are audited; but they are what the last players were saying, and the site did not answer them publicly.

Support

Live chat was available only after login, between 10am and 11pm CET, with email outside those hours. Casinomeister’s review, written while the site traded, rated the chat team “incredibly helpful” but marked the site down for not running chat around the clock and, later, for a forum representative who went quiet. There was an iOS and Android app and a loyalty scheme. As of September 2026 none of that exists; the domain’s holding page names no support channel beyond a press email.

The closure

Feedback Casino’s review carries the line “From 10 April 2023, SlotsMillion closes its doors in the UK and Sweden.” No Alea press release or Commission notice with a different date is on record. Casinomeister’s listing now reads “Closed Casino” with a note that the site had become “just another cheesy casino website” by the end, a sharp turn from the awards it gave the same brand in 2015 and 2017.

What the site said afterwards is preserved on the Wayback Machine. The copy from 24 June 2024 reads, in full: “SlotsMillion has suspended it operations. We will be back! If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact our support team: support@slotsmillion.com SlotsMillion Team”. The typo is theirs. “We will be back” is the sort of line operators post when they hope to sell the brand or relicense it. More than two years later, it has not come back as a casino.

The register

A Gambling Commission register search for “Alea” on 18 September 2026 returns London Clubs companies, which are unrelated to Alea Gaming. There is no SlotsMillion entry and no Alea Gaming entry. In the Commission’s system that means the brand cannot take a bet from a British customer, and any site that claims to be SlotsMillion and offers you a deposit is not the original. Our guide to UKGC licensing shows how to run that search yourself and what an absent entry means.

While it traded, UK players were on the Commission licence and everyone else on Malta licence MGA/B2C/256/2013, issued to SLTM Ltd in May 2014. The Maltese licence outlived the British one; it is the reason the holding page, the terms and the support address all point to Malta.

What slotsmillion.com shows today

The domain has been kept. On 7 September 2026 it serves a single page headed “The Ultimate Casino and Sportsbook Comparator”, with a form under “Sign up to be the first to know when we launch”. The footer copyright reads “2025 https://www.slotsmillion.com” and there is a press contact at info@slotsmillion.com. The rest is generic text about checking that a casino is licensed before you play.

There is no lobby and no login. It is a waitlist for an affiliate comparison site that may or may not launch. The page names no company, so whether it is still Alea is not on record. Treat any email from that domain asking for old account details with suspicion, since a comparison site has no reason to hold them. The page’s advice about verifying licences is fine in itself, but the people giving it are anonymous, and the domain they are using belonged to a casino whose own licence is gone. Judge whatever launches there on its own merits rather than on the SlotsMillion name.

How we scored it

Safety 6: licensed in Britain and Malta while it traded, an announced closure and a holding page with a contact, but no licence now and no company named on the domain. Games 6: one of the largest slot catalogues a UK player could reach, none of it available. Payments 5: a broad, free cashier on paper, undercut by the document holds players reported in the final year. Support 5: reachable while it traded, gone now. Overall 5.5.

What to do if you had an account

If you had a balance at SlotsMillion when it closed in April 2023 and never withdrew it, email support@slotsmillion.com. That is the address the operator published on its own holding page, and it is the only one available. Keep a copy of anything you send, including the date. Whether that inbox is still monitored is not known, so do not rely on a reply. The operating company, SLTM Ltd, was licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, whose player support unit accepts complaints about Maltese licensees; that is the escalation route if the email goes unanswered.

Check your GAMSTOP status if you self excluded through SlotsMillion. Self exclusion is tied to you rather than to the brand, so your exclusion should still stand across licensed sites, but it takes a minute to confirm and a closure is a reasonable moment to do it.

Do not sign up to the comparator waitlist expecting the casino to return. The page does not promise that, and the licence that would allow it no longer exists. If you want to play, pick a brand that is currently on the register in its own name, and check the register yourself rather than trusting a badge in a footer.
