UK Casino Club Sister Sites

Luxury Casino claims to be one of the best VIP casinos on the internet. It says so in the message you’ll see on its tab header if you load it on a laptop or desktop. It’s a bold claim, and it’s a long way from the truth. Any chance Luxury Casino might have had of being considered a great iGaming site is ruined by its welcome bonus promotion. It looks great with its promise of £1000 in matched deposit bonus funds for all new players, but its appeal dissipates quickly when you check the fine print.

Not only do you have to spend a massive £2300 to receive the entire matched deposit, but you must then wager it x200 before any of it becomes eligible for withdrawal. That’s the biggest wagering requirement we’re aware of anywhere in the UK iGaming scene, and to make matters worse, it applies to bonuses at the other UK Casino Club sister sites, too. It kills the appeal of Luxury Casino stone dead before we even talk about how dated and ugly its website looks.

Zodiac Casino goes in a different direction from Luxury Casino when it comes to the way it presents its welcome bonus. You might think that’s a good thing based on the terms of the Luxury Casino welcome promotion, but remember what we said about wagering requirements at UK Casino Club sister sites – they remain consistent. That means if you win anything from the eighty free spins that Zodiac Casino offers on Microgaming’s Mega Moolah slot to all players who join the casino and deposit £10, you’ll have to wager it x200 before you can withdraw it.

This is a slots game with a seven-figure jackpot; imagine the ecstasy and then the agony of winning such a jackpot and then having to wager it x200 before you can get your hands on it, almost certainly losing the whole thing in the process. It’s not just unfair; it’s almost cruel. It certainly doesn’t match the promise of “exceptional five-star treatment” that the casino gives elsewhere on its homepage.

All of the other UK Casino Club sister sites at least have a go at pretending they have a theme or a concept behind them. Villento Casino can’t even be bothered to do that. The elegant logo of the casino tells us that this was an attempt by Apollo Entertainment Limited to go for the upper tier of VIP players and high rollers, but its casino sites aren’t well-suited to that market. VIP players expect VIP terms and bonuses, and promotions, and Villento Casino can’t offer that.

What it can offer instead is an exceptionally dull-looking casino site that attempts to hang its hat on its £1000 matched deposit welcome bonus. The bonus is identical to that of Luxury Casino, so it’s irrelevant for the same reasons. Further down the Villento Casino homepage, you’ll find mentions of sweepstakes and other perks, but there’s so little detail available that it’s hard to confirm what the site offers and what it doesn’t.

Casino Classic is supposed to be a throwback site, taking you back to the “good old days” of gaming before online casinos came along. As such, it ought to focus on roulette, poker, and other table games. It doesn’t do that, though – it’s a Microgaming-heavy site, and so it has the same restricted catalogue of slots and games as all of the other UK Casino Club sister sites. In fact, the most heavily-promoted game on the Casino Classic homepage is Immortal Romance, although we suppose the site could get away with that by correctly pointing out that Immortal Romance is thought of as a classic slots game.

What it’s less able to get away with is the fact that its welcome promotion is saddled with yet another x200 wagering requirement. Having said that, there’s no casino in the world that could get away with that, whether we’re talking about the UK Casino Club sister sites or casinos on any other platform.

How’s your French? If your answer to that question is “ce n’est pas bon,” then you’ll likely have missed the meaning of this casino’s name. While “Grand Mondial” makes it sound a little like a posh hotel, it translates from French to English as “big world.” This yellow iGaming site is the Big World Casino. It’s a name that conjures thoughts of an enormous iGaming site offering fantastic slots and games from the best providers all over the world. Regrettably, that’s not what you’re going to find at Grand Mondial Casino.

Like all the other UK Casino Club sister sites, the casino mostly offers games from Microgaming, plus a few titles that were developed in-house. The worst offence committed by the casino, though, is that it’s badly out of date. The graphic on its homepage is a dead giveaway in that respect – it shows a woman (allegedly) picking up a jackpot cheque after a big win from the casino, but the cheque is dated to November 2017. Several years have passed since then, but Grand Mondial Casino hasn’t kept up with the changing times.

It’s probably fair to say that none of the other UK Casino Club sister sites are quite so thematically confused as Quatro Casino is. There’s a confused-looking Viking standing with his hands on his hips on the casino’s homepage, and he has every right to look confused – he was probably looking for a different casino site but somehow got trapped here. “Quatro” is the Portuguese word for “four.” We’re not sure what it means in the context of the name “Quatro Casino”, but perhaps it’s a reference to the four lifetimes you’d probably have to live if you ever wanted to clear the x200 wagering requirement it imposes against its welcome promotion.

As you proceed down the Quatro Casino homepage, you’ll notice a list of recent big winners scrolling horizontally across the screen. You’ll note that few – if any – of their big wins came in pounds sterling. Most of them are listed in Euros or US or Canadian dollars. That might be a fair reflection of where most of the casino’s players come from – it’s not a big site in the UK.

UK Casino Club operator – Apollo Entertainment Limited

UK Casino Club isn’t short of company when it comes to UK Casino Club sister sites – there are nearly thirty of them. Apollo Entertainment Limited has taken a slow-but-steady approach to coming up with new sites since it came up with its very first in 2008. In all of that time, though, it’s managed to avoid leaving so much as a digital footprint anywhere on the internet. This casino operator is virtually anonymous. You won’t find an Apollo Entertainment Limited website if you go looking for one. The operator doesn’t have any social media channels. It doesn’t even publish accounts anywhere we can find, although we’ve seen sources claiming that the company makes about £20m per year. It just doesn’t seem to be interested in communicating with the outside world.

Even with the operator’s apparent commitment to total silence, there are some details it can’t avoid becoming public. One of them is its location; the company is based in Malta, where many of its neighbours are also casino network companies. It also can’t mask its licensing status; aside from having a valid licence with the UK Gambling Commission, Apollo Entertainment has another licence with the Malta Gaming Authority. That means it’s active in territories beyond the UK. It could even mean that the company operates even more casino sites but doesn’t make them available to the UK market. If so, we have a feeling that it’s no great loss to anyone in the UK – the quality of the casinos that we do have access to is hardly inspiring.

UK Casino Club Welcome Bonuses

If you’ve been reading this page in the order we’ve presented it in, you’ll have seen our thoughts on the biggest of the UK Casino Club sister sites by now. You will, therefore, be aware that we don’t think the terms and conditions of the promotions at those sites are fair or friendly to customers. There’s no change to the pattern at UK Casino Club. Up to £700 in matched deposit welcome funds is available thanks to matched deposit offers of various amounts divided across the first dive deposits a new player makes at the casino. To get all £700, that player would have to deposit a massive (and weirdly specific) £3391. It’s in no way worth it because the x200 wagering requirement tied to the bonus makes it stickier than superglue – you’ll never get it back out again.

Other Promotions

for all the talk of “incredibly exciting promotions” on the same page that lays out the terms of the welcome promotion at UK Casino Club, there’s no information about any further promotions. Some of the UK Casino Club sister sites make vague references to loyalty schemes or additional promotions without ever offering full information about them. UK Casino Club doesn’t even do that. Based on the information available on the casino’s website, the welcome promotion is the only bonus available. Given that the bonus is essentially worthless, there aren’t any realistic promotions at UK Casino Club at all.

Top Games at UK Casino Club

As we’ve mentioned elsewhere, the UK Casino Club sister sites on the Apollo Entertainment Limited casino platform have strong connections to Microgaming as a games provider. There aren’t any games specifically featured on the casino’s homepage – which is weird – but there’s a small graphic showing off a few logos and layouts. There are two Microgaming slots positioned front and centre on that graphic; the official online slots game of the original Jurassic Park movie and the official online slots game of Terminator 2. Both slots are very nearly ten years old. The official slots game of Game of Thrones is also prominently positioned, also comes from Microgaming, and is also nearly ten years old. Games that have connections to well-known entertainment properties appear to be those that get most of the spotlight at UK Casino Club, but the chances are that if you can think of a slots game by Microgaming, you’re going to find it here.

Customer Support and Licensing

UK Casino Club has a live chat facility for providing customer care. It’s available all day, every day, but there can sometimes be long waits for agents to become free to speak to you. For queries that aren’t urgent, it might be more efficient to email support@crhelpdesk.com. The casino endeavours to respond to all emails within 48 business hours. UK Casino Club is covered by the same UK Gambling Commission licence that covers all of its sister sites via Apollo Entertainment Limited, number 38620. The operator’s licence is clean as of the time of writing.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

UK Casino Club doesn’t state its withdrawal policy anywhere on its website. It’s customary for top casino sites to have a specific payments page outlining everything that players need to know about making deposits and requesting withdrawals, but we’ve already established that UK Casino Club isn’t a top casino site. As a bare minimum, we expect casinos to have an FAQ covering all the essential information. UK Casino Club hasn’t done that either. There’s scant information about withdrawals in the site’s full terms and conditions, so all we can tell you is that the casino appears to accept debit cards and some e-wallets, including PayPal. We can’t tell you how long it might take for a withdrawal to arrive.

Final Thoughts on UK Casino Club

We wouldn’t recommend playing at UK Casino Club sister sites because of the anti-customer terms of their welcome promotions, and we wouldn’t recommend playing at UK Casino Club either. Even if we were prepared to overlook the horror of the welcome promotion – which we’re not – we’d be just as troubled by the lack of clear information about payment processing. The site just doesn’t feel like it would be fun to play at.
