Gaming Club Casino Review

1. New players can claim up to C$350 over two deposits

Canadian players can claim up to C$350 over their first two deposits. When you deposit for the very first time, you can double up with a guaranteed 100% match bonus worth up to C$200. On your next deposit, you can complete the signup bonus by claiming a further 100% match bonus worth up to C$150. The minimum deposit required each time is just C$10 and here’s how the bonus works:

Highlights From Gaming Club Casino Bonus Terms and Conditions:

It’s always a good idea to make sure that you fully read through the bonus terms and conditions before accepting any bonus at any online casino. The full Gaming Club Casino welcome bonus T’s & C’s can be found right here, but for those of you who can’t be bothered to read them, here are some of the main things you should be aware of:

1. Claim your new player welcome bonus within seven days of opening your account and accepting the bonus, or it will expire. However, subsequent promotions will become available to you, but the initial sign-up bonus will be considered forfeited.

2. As soon as you make your first real money deposit after having opted-in & accepted the welcome bonus, the bonus money will instantly be credited to your account.

3. Before any winnings that you have made from your bonus money can be transferred to your main balance, your bonus money must be wagered at least 50x times. In other words, if you maximize your initial deposit bonus and deposit the full C$200, you would need to wager a total of C$10,000 before you could withdraw (C$200 bonus money x 50 wagering requirement). You also need to be aware that the wagering contribution percentage varies a great deal for different game types (see below).

4. Also don’t forget that the Gamble Feature on all Slots or the Double Feature on all Video/Power Pokers will NOT count towards completing your playthrough requirements.

2. Oldest online casino in the world, launched in 1994

I still find it remarkable that Gaming Club Online Casino has been around for so long. It’s even older than some of its fully registered members! The fact that this casino is still operating after more than two decades is a testament to how well the owner runs such a smooth operation, all while maintaining top-notch gaming, banking and support services. Take a look at what the website looked like back in 2000 right here.

The solid reputation that Gaming Club Casino has built up over the years also shows you how this casino keeps on going from strength to strength, whereas other online casinos that launched back around the same time (in the mid to late ’90s) have closed their doors for good and no longer exist. Gaming Club has pretty much everything a Canadian player could ever want from an online casino all under one roof, and this is why I love playing here. I also love telling my friends that I’m a member of the world’s oldest online casino.

3. Second to none player support available 24/7

If you need to get in touch with the casino for whatever reason, I recommend using the live chat feature. Just click on the ‘live chat’ button, and this will instantly launch a secure pop-up window and will put you in direct contact with a professionally trained player support agent within seconds. Each live chat support agent that I’ve personally spoken to in the past has been quick to respond, gets straight to the point and will answer my questions without any problems.

I have played at certain online casinos and have found their live chat agents to be slow to respond, unhelpful or downright rude, but that’s not the case here. The email support and the Canadian toll-free telephone support is equally responsive and just as friendly, but I’ve found that the best way to reach them in as little time as possible is by launching the live chat feature. Support here is available 24/7, 365 days per year.

4. More than 800 games from Microgaming and several other independent studios

What I love most about Gaming Club is the extremely diverse range of games that are currently available here. There are more than 840 games to choose from, most of which are supplied by Microgaming, plus you can find live dealer casino games from Evolution Gaming and Ezugi. There’s also an ever-growing portfolio of slots and other casino games from more than ten other independent game development studios such as Just for the Win Studios, Rabcat, Triple Edge Studios, Fortune Factory Studios, Slingshot Studios, Foxium, All41 Studios, Crazy Tooth Studio, Stormcraft Studios and Electric Elephant Games (EEG).

It’s really easy to find your favourite games, and I love how neatly they have been categorized. They can be launched either instantly in your web browser or from within the Microgaming casino download client and don’t forget that you can play here either on desktop or on mobile. When you next play at Gaming Club, make sure that you check out some of these great games to begin with. These games are just some of my personal favourites.

If you start in the live dealer casino then you have to check out Ezugi’s Live Roulette Gold, Live Casino Hold’em, Live Golden Baccarat and Live Keno. Also keep an eye out for Evolution Gaming’s Live Dream Catcher, Live Deal or No Deal, Live Lightning Roulette and Live Baccarat Squeeze.

If you’re a fan of online slots like me, then you have to check out games such as Crystal Rift, Forbidden Throne, Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, Hot as Hades and The Phantom of the Opera. I also love Playboy Gold, Fortunium, Agent Jane Blonde Returns, Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs, Thunderstruck II and SideWinder, to mention just a few great games.

1. Weekly withdrawal limits capped at C$4,000

If you have a big win at Gaming Club, let’s just say somewhere in the ballpark region of C$100,000. You couldn’t just withdraw this amount in one lump sum and receive it the very next day because the weekly withdrawal limits are capped at C$4,000 per player. This low weekly withdrawal amount on a C$100,000 withdrawal means that it would take up to 25 days to get my hands on my full winnings. This is a common policy though at many of my top-rated Canadian accepting online casinos, not just at Gaming Club.

2. 50x times wagering requirements attached to most bonuses

The worst thing about accepting an online casino bonus is the wagering requirement (aka playthrough requirement) - the amount of cash that I must wager before I can withdraw any of my bonus winnings. The lower the wagering requirement is, the better it is for me as a player, and at Gaming Club Casino (and at numerous other Canadian friendly online casinos) I have to wager my bonus money at least 50x times before it can be transferred to my main balance. It would be great if the operator could reduce the bonus wagering requirements to around 30x or 35x times the bonus amount, instead of 50x.
