We've built our reputation around fairness, security and entertainment. Our platform uses 128-bit SSL encryption with dispute resolution through Central Dispute Systems. Our gaming library features content from Rival, Betsoft and Vivo Gaming.

Live Casino Experience
Current Status
We don't currently offer live dealer tables at Golden Lion Casino. Our blackjack, roulette and baccarat games are RNG versions from Rival Gaming, which means you won't find real-time video streams or human dealers on our platform right now.
Coming Soon
We've partnered with Visionary iGaming and Vivo Gaming to launch our complete live casino lobby in Q4 2024. This rollout depends on final regulatory approval, but we're excited to bring you this enhanced gaming experience.
What's Planned
Our upcoming live section will feature Classic and Infinite Blackjack alongside European and American Roulette. We're also adding Baccarat in both regular and squeeze formats, plus Super 6 and Caribbean Stud variants.
You can expect adaptive 1080p streaming with multiple camera angles and low-latency feeds. We've set betting limits from £1 to £2,500 per round, with popular side bets like Perfect Pairs and Dragon Bonus available. Interactive features will include dealer and player chat, real-time statistics, and our quick-bet interface for faster gameplay.
Software Partners

We work with carefully selected studios that create games our players genuinely enjoy. Our main partner is Rival Gaming, known for their innovative i-Slots that tell stories as you play. We also feature cinematic 3-D games from Betsoft, high-volatility slots from Saucify, and live dealer tables streamed by Vivo Gaming. This approach gives us variety while maintaining consistent quality across our entire game library.

UK Payment Options
Deposit Methods
We offer several secure deposit options for UK players. Visa and Mastercard debit cards provide instant deposits with a £25 minimum and no fees. Skrill and Neteller e-wallets process instantly with a £20 minimum at no cost. Neosurf prepaid vouchers work immediately with just a £10 minimum. Bitcoin deposits require one blockchain confirmation with a £20 minimum. Bank transfers take 1-3 working days with a £100 minimum, though your bank might charge fees.
PayPal isn't available since we don't hold a UK licence. Credit cards can't be used for gambling under UK regulations.
Withdrawal Options
We process Bitcoin withdrawals within 24 hours once approved. The minimum is £100 with a £2,000 maximum per transaction. Bank wire transfers take 3-5 business days with limits between £100 and £2,500, plus a £20 processing fee. Skrill and Neteller withdrawals complete in 24-48 hours with a £100 minimum and no internal fees.
You'll need to withdraw using the same method as your deposit when possible.
Processing Times
Our finance team reviews withdrawal requests within 24 hours Monday through Friday. We provide one free withdrawal every 30 days - additional requests cost £35. Your bank or e-wallet provider may apply their own currency conversion or receiving fees.
UK Gambling Commission Licence
We must inform you that Golden Lion Casino does not currently hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. Our casino operates under Curaçao jurisdiction with master licence number 365/JAZ, issued to our parent company Skyline Media N.V. (registration number 146589). Since we operate outside the UK's regulatory framework, we cannot legally target or serve players located in Great Britain.
What This Means for UK Players
Our regulatory oversight comes from Curaçao eGaming rather than UKGC inspectors. You won't find our licence number in the Commission's public register. Player funds follow Curaçao protection standards and aren't held in UK-mandated segregated trust accounts.
We cannot offer GamStop, Gamban or UK-approved dispute resolution services. Our anti-money-laundering and responsible gambling procedures comply with Curaçao guidelines instead of the Gambling Act 2005.
UK residents benefit from additional statutory safeguards when choosing UKGC-licensed operators, including independent dispute resolution and mandatory self-exclusion tools. We recommend checking any casino's current regulatory status directly on the UK Gambling Commission's website before registering.
Security Measures
SSL Encryption Technology
We protect every data transmission with 256-bit TLS 1.3 encryption, the same security standard used by major international banks. This technology converts your personal details and payment information into unreadable code during transfer between your device and our servers, blocking unauthorised access attempts.
Data Protection Protocols
We store all player records on ISO/IEC 27001-certified servers in Tier-4 data centres with round-the-clock security and biometric access controls. Our systems face quarterly penetration testing by independent experts and continuous monitoring through an Intrusion Detection System that identifies suspicious activity immediately.
Financial Security Systems
We handle all deposits and withdrawals through PCI DSS Level 1 compliant gateways including Visa, Mastercard, Neteller and Skrill. Your card details never reach our servers because vault-side tokenisation replaces sensitive information with single-use payment tokens during each transaction.
Additional Safeguards
- Optional two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator for enhanced account protection
- Automated fraud detection algorithms reviewing every withdrawal request above £2,000
- Monthly RNG audits by Gaming Laboratories International ensuring fair gameplay
- Player funds held in segregated bank accounts guaranteeing withdrawal availability
- Full GDPR compliance allowing UK players to request data export or deletion
Account Verification Process
Required Documents
We follow Curaçao e-Gaming AML/KYC regulations strictly. Before your first withdrawal, you'll need to email us clear colour scans in JPEG or PDF format of these documents:
- Government-issued photo ID such as your passport, national ID card, or driving licence that's current and valid
- Proof of address like a utility bill or bank statement from the past 90 days
- Payment method verification showing the front and back of cards used with only the first 6 and last 4 digits visible, or e-wallet transaction screenshots
Processing Times
Our compliance team works Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 18:00 GMT-4. Most verifications complete within 24 hours, though busy periods might extend this to 72 hours. We'll email you when your account becomes verified or if we need additional documents.
Benefits of Verification
KYC completion is mandatory under Curaçao AML rules and our anti-fraud policies. Unverified accounts can only withdraw up to $2,000 total and risk having bonus winnings cancelled. Once verified, you'll enjoy faster payouts including same-day Bitcoin withdrawals and weekly limits up to $4,000.
Mobile Gaming Platform
Instant Browser Access
We've built our entire platform using HTML5 technology, which means you won't need to download anything. Just type goldenlioncasino.com into Safari, Chrome, or Firefox and our lobby opens straight away. The interface adapts perfectly to any screen size, whether you're using a compact iPhone SE or a large iPad Pro, and you'll still have complete access to banking options and promotions.
Complete Game Selection
Our full collection of over 200 Rival Gaming titles is available on mobile, including popular slots like Aztec Treasures and Mystic Wolf. We also offer selected live-dealer blackjack and roulette tables from Vivo Gaming that stream in HD quality. Your bonus information, loyalty status, and responsible gambling controls use the same login as your desktop account.
