Casino Download > Ex-Download Casinos > Gaming Club Gaming Club Casino Download Gaming Club is one of the longest-operating online casinos and its reputation has been pretty solid since launch. Win here and you'll get paid - IF you're playing with your own money! Bonus players should probably be playing elsewhere due to Gaming Club's ridiculous rule that limits player winnings to just x6 the first deposit amount! Check-out Zodiac Casino where deposit bonus winnings are unlimited! Zodiac offer a similar casino to Gaming Club but with more games and promotions. New sign-ups get 80 millionaire spins for just $/€/£1! I'm interested! - Visit Zodiac Casino Up to $/€350 welcome bonus Launched back in 1994, Gaming Club is one of the oldest online casinos and remains a popular choice with players in many countries today. However, Gaming Club isn't the bright star it once was in the online casino world, having lost much of its uniqueness and best-qualities by removing its all-important download casino option for PC/laptop-owning high-rollers and the most regular players. Atrocious bonus conditions for new players haven't helped much. Is anybody home? It's been a long time since Gaming Club last contacted us with new promotional material. In fact, the casino itself (and its website) has barely changed in YEARS. The bonus is almost exactly the same (see below, there's some spins added) and every other month, it seems more and more countries are being excluded from joining Gaming Club. The fact that this is one of the longest-running online casinos in the world makes it even more a shame that Gaming Club has become kinda dated. It's obvious no one has touched this casino's front-of-shop for a long time and we have to wonder why. Most online casinos, including other Microgaming brands such as Cosmo Casino (mentioned again below), flood our inbox with the latest player news, promotions, bonuses, double comp points offers, newly releases games, etc. Gaming Club does none of this and it's become rather stagnant as a result. In 2024, Gaming Club Casino looks and behaves pretty much the same as it did a decade ago - and that ain't progress. Update! Just to make us look stupid, just a few days after writing the above, we received a bonus update for Gaming Club! It's quite a significant change that slashes the wagering requirement from bonus x70 to now just x35. That's a lot better and means more players will complete their wagering requirements but we still don't recommend new sign-ups at Gaming Club accept the welcome bonus, due to the limit it then places on your potential winnings (see later in this review of Gaming Club for more on that). How can I get my download benefits & missing games back? To retain the benefits of a download casino, we recommend shifting your play to a trusted, Microgaming-download supported (and Grade-A rated @ CD) online casino such as Cosmo Casino, Grand Mondial Casino, Yukon Gold Casino and Zodiac (those links lead to our reviews of each brand) containing roughly a thousand games from Microgaming and loads of third-party providers and currently a DOWNLOAD OPTION via Casino-Download.com. From the same Microgaming stable of reputable online casinos, still (for now) offering players download-to-PC/laptop premium casino software (all free to download): Once signed-up, it's likely you'll become a regular. This group get exclusive Microgaming games not available at Gaming Club plus access to new Microgaming releases before Gaming Club members get their hands on them - usually a good, full month ahead of the rest. You'll be joining by far the most successful Microgaming group and in our opinion, the best option for online casino players who want access to Microgaming 'and friends' classic casino games. No-Download access to hundreds of Microgaming games For the longest time, Gaming Club was an ideal casino for online pro's who prefer to download casinos to a computer to get the best out of the casino. Sadly, with the removal of Gaming Club's download casino during 2019, players without predownloaded software were left with the less-desirable option of browser or mobile-play. Not much later, even players who had already downloaded Gaming Club to their computers found that their casino software no longer worked. Still, that might just be your cup of coffee. If so, you won't miss Gaming Club's download software at all. It depends on the type of player you are and which formats (download, browser, mobile) are preferable or acceptable to YOU only. But it was always going to be inevitable that lots of Gaming Club's download players would NOT appreciate the dumping of their own casino on their own equipment. As the download-loyalists left Gaming Club, they moved onto alternatives such as Luxury, Yukon Gold and other Microgaming casinos providing the exact same games (more actually, after including exclusive and early-release games) but still via a download casino as an option. These download-retaining casinos are now currently soaring ahead where Gaming Club (and some of its sister-casino brands) is dangerously close to becoming redundant - and for such an old-timer brand we remember from the very beginnings of internet casinos, we really don't want to see that happen. If we hadn't made it obvious, to retain the benefits of a download casino we recommend shifting your play to a trustworthy (and Grade-A rated at Casino-Download.com) online casino such as those mentioned above (Luxury and Yukon Gold) or Cosmo or Grand Mondial, all containing 900+ games from Microgaming and loads of third-party providers and a DOWNLOAD OPTION. As an aside, we think it's kind of hilarious that Gaming Club's promotions page STILL (in 2024!) instructs new members to download the casino software before signing-up (see image, right). Maybe they're having a re-think! It's never too late to bring back Gaming Club's download casino! Hundreds of games Gaming Club offer more than 700 games by Microgaming and lots of third-party independent game designers, boosting Gaming Club's collection of games every month - including blackjack, progressive jackpot games, keno and popular branded slots. As new games are released, you'll be able to load them them in seconds in your browser or mobile app to add them to your casino. Keep an eye on the news info and 'new games' when you log in to the casino. Never missing an opportunity to moan about the stealing of our download casino, Gaming Club players who had downloaded the casino could instantly load games. No waiting! Gaming Club new client promotions - um.... run away!! New members start at Gaming Club with a 100% first deposit bonus up to $/€200 followed with a 150% bonus up to $/€150 on a second deposit, giving a total welcome bonus of up to $/€350. A deposit of just $/€10 will qualify you for both bonuses. Seems like a decent bonus? Hang on just a moment! As with other casinos in this network, there are absolutely HORRIBLE terms in the bonus conditions. The wagering requirement before you can cash out any winnings is x35 the bonus amount (it used to be x70 until very recently). So for example, if you make a first deposit of $/€50 and get a $/€50 bonus, your wager requirement prior to withdrawal will be $/€1750 ($/€50 x 35) - in exchange for a $/€50 bonus. Which you can only play on slots and so-called 'soft games' (no idea why, they pay as well as slots) like scratch cards and keno. Apparently, depositors also receive 10 bonus spins daily but Gaming Club's website - including the promotions page and T&C - give little to zero information about this part of the bonus. Which slot(s) can the free spins be played on? How much can be won? What's the wagering requirement? NONE of this vital info is clearly visible. Another fail. If you play with your own money, you can cash out when you want to and play any games you want without worrying about breaking annoying bonus rules. But there are other, far more significant dangers in opting to receive a welcome bonus at Gaming Club. Check out this pearl in the T&C: "Where a Sign-Up Bonus has been granted to you, subject to you being required to have met all wagering requirements, you will be limited to a maximum withdrawal value of 6 times your first deposit amount and any remaining balance will be forfeited. This clause will only be applied at the discretion of casino management." Ripping that bonus apart completely, it means if you deposit the MAXIMUM $/€200 possible to claim the top $/€200 first-deposit bonus and get your way through the x35 wager requirement of $/€7000 (!) then even if you have the best luck you've ever had in your casino-playing life, your winnings - because you accepted a bonus - will be limited to just $/€1200! STILL think it's worth taking that bonus? We have never had the urge to open our own casino. But if we did, we'd be embarrassed to offer players the above rip-off bonus. Do read ALL the terms and conditions if you're ambitious/drunk enough to accept a bonus here - there are lots of pitfalls just waiting to void any winnings you might somehow accrue, such as the horror-crime of placing a bet equal to/more than 30% of the bonus amount. Perish the thought. We massively appreciate and applaud the cutting of the wagering requirement in early 2024 from bonus x70 to x35 as it'll mean a much fairer playing field for bonus-accepting new members. If Gaming Club would remove the winnings limit from bonus players then we'd really be able to get behind it. On the plus-side, all players receive midweek and weekend deposit match bonuses depending on your level of play. There's daily, weekly and monthly promotions such as free spins and chances to win some cool prizes. And this casino does generally-speaking keep its members satisfied with ongoing promotions (check the terms!) and the occasional freebie, especially if it's your birthday and you've been an active member during the year. All members are automatically included in Gaming Club's loyalty program which rewards players with 'cash back' for every bet placed. These are 'comp points' generated after every stake - even if your bet is a winner - and you can exchange your comp points for real money in your casino account. Many partner casinos Other online casinos in this group include All Slots, Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget, Mummys Gold, Platinum Play, River Belle, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune and Spin Casino/Palace. Each offers a welcome bonus and possesses a sad memory of a its life as a superior download casino. But they're all honest, fair casinos with friendly customer support. Just don't accept any crazy-wagering bonus from any of these brands and you should be okay, if you want to play without downloading of course. Recommended? Yes, if you are happy to play using a mobile device or just your usual browser on a computer. If you want the advantages of a downloadable casino then you HAVE to look elsewhere. If you don't need/want to download software then we can gladly recommend you join and play at Gaming Club - but never, ever accept a welcome bonus that isn't completely risk-free (ie. a no deposit required bonus that does not need a wagering-tied deposit to redeem any winnings). The terms and conditions for Gaming Club's bonuses are just too horrific. Ending on the positive, we've known the team behind Gaming Club for a very long time and they're good people, just perhaps losing enthusiasm. We don't know. But as a player using a phone as your online casino device of choice, if you don't accept any bonuses and play only with your own money then you should be satisfied enough at Gaming Club. Maybe a casino to have in your collection but not your only online gambling venue.
