About
Metal Casino is a rock and roll themed online casino that has been registered as a domain since October 2016. It operates as a whitelabel site on the Skill On Net Limited platform, meaning the underlying technology, payment processing, and regulatory licence all sit with that parent operator rather than with Metal Casino directly. According to their website, the casino claims to offer over 4,800 games including slots and live casino titles, alongside a loyalty scheme called Met Coins.
The site states it accepts a range of payment methods including Visa, Mastercard, Trustly, Skrill, Payz, and Paysafecard. That's the picture the operator paints, but UKGC enforcement records tell a more cautious story. Skill On Net Limited was subject to a regulatory settlement in May 2023 covering failings in its anti-money laundering and safer gambling processes between January 2021 and December 2022. The operator agreed to pay £305,150 in lieu of a financial penalty and committed to an independent audit of its controls.

Regulatory Context
The 2023 regulatory settlement found that Skill On Net Limited had failings in its safer gambling and AML processes between 2021 and 2022. The operator's very low Trustpilot score, while based on limited reviews, is consistent with a period when its internal controls were under UKGC scrutiny. Players researching the site should weigh both the enforcement history and the customer feedback together.
