Thrills Casino

Overview

Thrills Casino is an online casino brand launched in 2013 and operated by Betit Operations Ltd, trading as Zecure Gaming, part of the wider Betsson Group following Betsson's 2020 acquisition of Gaming Innovation Group's B2C brands (Thrills, Rizk, Guts, and Kaboo). Thrills built its identity around a vintage-cinema visual theme and a slots-first catalogue rather than trying to be a full-spectrum gambling supermarket.

This is a case where we need to be direct about a real red flag before going any further: independent casino directories give conflicting and concerning signals about whether Thrills is still operating at all. LCB.org lists Thrills as "closed" as of March 2024. Separately, reporting indicates Thrills' Swedish Gambling Authority license lapsed at the end of 2023 when the operator chose not to renew it, which would have ended Swedish access outright. Yet other, more recent sources (including a scams.info review dated mid-2026) describe Thrills as merely no longer available to UK players specifically, and AskGamblers' listing describes it as restricted to Sweden and Finland rather than closed entirely — though that sits awkwardly next to the reported Swedish license lapse. We could not resolve this contradiction with confidence, and attempts to load the operator's own site during research returned a blocked response rather than a working casino lobby. Given all of that, we cannot confirm Thrills Casino is currently open to new registrations in any market, and anyone considering it should treat that as the first thing to verify — directly and skeptically — before depositing a cent.

Welcome Bonus and Ongoing Promotions

Historical marketing for Thrills advertised a 100% Welcome Bonus up to €100 plus bonus spins on a player's first deposit, with exact figures varying by region. Given the unresolved questions about whether Thrills is currently accepting new players in any market, we cannot confirm this offer is live today, what its wagering requirement is, or whether it has been withdrawn along with broader access. If the registration page is reachable and a bonus is offered, read the full terms — minimum deposit, wagering multiple, maximum bet while wagering, and expiry — directly on-site before opting in, since none of this is something a third-party summary can responsibly guarantee right now.

Games and Software

When Thrills was fully operational, its lobby leaned heavily toward video slots, drawing on well-known studios including NetEnt, Play'n GO, Pragmatic Play, Yggdrasil, and Big Time Gaming, with Evolution Gaming supplying live-dealer tables. Reported title counts vary widely by source and date, from roughly 700 up to nearly 1,900, which itself suggests the library and even the platform have changed materially over time, consistent with a brand that may be winding down in some or all markets. If you do reach a live version of the site, the current in-lobby game count and provider list are the only trustworthy reference, not any number quoted here or elsewhere.

Banking, Payments and Withdrawals

Thrills' historical payment stack centered on Trustly, a bank-linked payment method popular in the Nordic region, alongside e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, and ecoPayz, standard Visa and Mastercard cards, and direct transfers via banks such as Nordea and Swedbank. Where Trustly was available, deposits and withdrawals were reportedly fee-free and fast, often clearing within an hour. None of this can be taken as current guidance, though, given the unresolved operating-status question above — a player who can't reliably determine whether the casino is open shouldn't assume its banking rails still function as described.

Mobile Experience

Thrills was designed as a browser-based casino with no dedicated iOS or Android app, relying instead on a responsive site that adapted to phone and tablet screens for registration, deposits, gameplay, and withdrawals. That browser-first approach was standard for the sector and, if the site is still reachable in your market, would presumably still apply, though we could not independently confirm current mobile performance given the access issues encountered during this review.

Licensing and Safety

Thrills has historically held a Malta Gaming Authority licence (reported as MGA/CRP/257/2014 in at least one source), a tier-one regulator with real oversight of fairness, player fund segregation, and dispute handling. It also held a Swedish Gambling Authority licence, but that licence reportedly was not renewed at the end of 2023, and Sweden requires locally licensed operators to actively block unlicensed access, so any continued Swedish availability advertised elsewhere is difficult to square with that. Layered on top is the closure listing from LCB.org dated March 2024. Individually, none of these signals is proof of a scam or of Thrills disappearing with player funds — group-owned brands are sometimes wound down cleanly, or narrowed to fewer markets rather than shut entirely — but collectively they mean we cannot vouch for Thrills as a currently safe, active place to deposit money without you first confirming it directly.

Customer Support

When active, Thrills offered live chat and email support, reportedly available 24/7, alongside a help center covering account verification, banking, and bonus terms. We could not verify whether these channels are still staffed or responsive given the questions raised above about the brand's current status.

Verdict and Rating

Thrills Casino earns a 3.0 out of 5 in our editorial assessment, a rating that reflects real strengths in its history — Betsson Group backing, a slots-first library from respected studios, and Malta Gaming Authority oversight — set against a genuinely unresolved question about whether it's currently open for business in any market. This isn't a case of ordinary hedging about terms that change; independent directories actively disagree about whether Thrills has closed, and we couldn't independently confirm current operation during this review. Until that's resolved, we can't recommend signing up or depositing without first verifying directly, and skeptically, that the casino is live, licensed for your location, and accepting registrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Thrills Casino still open? It's unclear. LCB.org lists Thrills as closed since March 2024, while other sources describe it as merely restricted to fewer markets. We could not resolve this contradiction during research, so confirm directly on the operator's site before attempting to register or deposit.

Who operates Thrills Casino? Betit Operations Ltd, trading as Zecure Gaming, part of the Betsson Group following its 2020 acquisition of several Gaming Innovation Group B2C brands including Thrills, Rizk, Guts, and Kaboo.

What license does Thrills Casino hold? A Malta Gaming Authority licence, plus historically a Swedish Gambling Authority licence that reportedly lapsed at the end of 2023 when it wasn't renewed.

What games does Thrills Casino offer? Historically a slots-first library from studios including NetEnt, Play'n GO, Pragmatic Play, and Yggdrasil, plus Evolution Gaming live tables. Reported game counts vary widely by source, which is itself a sign the platform has changed significantly over time.

Does Thrills Casino have a mobile app? No. It was built as a browser-based, mobile-responsive site rather than a downloadable app, though we couldn't independently confirm current performance given open questions about the site's operating status.

Is Thrills Casino's welcome bonus still available? We can't confirm it. Historical marketing advertised a 100% match up to €100 plus bonus spins, but given the unresolved status of the casino itself, treat any advertised bonus as unverified until you see it live on the official site.
