Club World Casino

What is it that everyone tells you after you where in a relationship and it ended? "There's plenty of fish in the sea, you will find the right one someday". This saying is applicable to many things in life but for the sake of this I am applying it to online casinos. Online casinos can be fun, or they can be aggravating. You might play on an online casino to blow off steam, but if you don't find that right "fish", you might end up more stressed than you began with.Now before I keep going, before the dreaded "Black Friday", I had never played in an online casino, I was strictly an online poker player. It was around September of 2011 that I really started playing online casinos, so I never experienced Microgaming, Playtech, or any of the other casino software that is now restricted to US players today. The way I found this "community" of message boards and blogs, etc... Was in a poker forum actually. So I started to do some research. (I'm the kind of person who will pick 5 movies and find 3 independent reviews on it before ordering it On Demand), which is probably annoying to those around me, but I like to do my due diligence before I Invest my money and my time into something. I don't know what casinos like slots of Vegas, cirrus, prism, etc where like years ago but from what I was reading, people didn't seem to give them a good review.

My first month of online Casino play was strictly free chips. I didn't spend a dime. I know I may be a little long winded here, but I hope my reviews are good enough for whoever reads them and I want them to know a little about me, and what "qualifications" I may have. Now my first ever deposit was20-25$ deposit to Eldorado palace, after getting an email offering a 400% or some crazy number match offer, so I played there lost it real quick, and told myself that I need to find a fun, reliable casino, that offers realistic bonuses, multiple deposit and withdrawal options, and had a good reputation around the online gambling community. I'm like 99% of the world and I work hard for the money I have, and when I spend it (at least these days, before I turned 21 I cant say the same lol), I look at it as investment, for example going out to dinner with my family, that's an investment with spending time with my family, and enjoying myself. I also look at it like if I was investing in a business, for example if I'm spending my hard earned money into you, I expect to be treated with the proper respect anyone should get when they spend money.

There are a couple of criteria I have when i comes to choosing the casino I play at. First and foremost is the reputation, If I am depositing money and win, I want to know that I won't get the run around when it comes to withdrawing it. Second most important criteria for me is the software. I know RTG has about 1000 casinos that use its software, but there is variations of RTG, about 4 I've noticed. The first is the plain RTG, no tournaments, not many if any progressives (I.E Jackpot Pinatas, Shopping Spree 1 and 2, and Mid life Crisis), then the next level up has no progressives but it has tournaments, the 3rd tier RTG has both progressives, and tournaments, the fourth tier has everything the third does, but with a slot with the casinos theme. Like Slots Jungle, has its own Jungle themed slot game, Club World Casino has a Club World themed game.

The third aspect that goes into where I deposit, is the customer service. I have had some terrible customer service, it was so bad I went to the superior about it, after he didn't do anything about it, I posted the conversations on said casinos face book page, and two hours later I received an email, saying you will get all your money refunded you've ever deposited with us, but your blacklisted. I have also gone into casinos and the support acts like high pressure sales people. I have done various sales jobs, ranging from door-door, B2B, financials just to name a few and the way the would respond to a question was how a high pressure sales person works. For example I get an email for 10$ free to play and the option of a match bonus at said casino. I go to support to redeem it, they give me a hard time, eventually do it, and the first words typed are "so how much will you be depositing today?", and I would reply, it depends on how I do today, and they would reply, that's great but if you deposit in the next two minutes I can get you a 300% match bonus with 40% insurance, so how much will you be depositing? This is classic ABC always be closing, if your reading this don't ever fall for it or feel pressured into depositing, because I guarantee you if you came back 4 hours later and said Ill deposit if you give me a 400% match and 50% cash back, they would say "well I really usually don't do this but I will make this exception this one time." (FYI I never use high pressure tactics when I'm trying to close a deal, it may lose me a deal here or there but I usually get a lot of referral business the way I do things.

I have also had customer service, who was kind enough to walk me through every step of the process, explain to me to a T, everything I ask. For example find me the best bonus for the type of games I like, and were very nice, didn't try to force me to do anything and I felt comfortable playing there. I have also had customer service that had seen I was a loyal customer and I had no money that day to deposit, and they would credit me money to play with that day, I've even had customer service that would listen to me vent about something that was stressing me in life, and if your reading this, I elaborate a bit, so you could only imagine lol.

The final criteria I take into account is the bonuses. I will take a reliable casino that doesn't give a free chip out to non depositors 3x a month, over a casino that is reliable and gives depositors free chips 3-4x a year. The same goes with match bonuses, some people probably like 300% match bonuses but you can only play slots, keno, and pull tabs, where as I would take the 55% match bonus that allows me to play video poker, blackjack and other table games, and of course slots and keno.

I'm going to rank Club world casino in these areas: deposit/withdrawal options, software (game selection, reliability), reputation (from what I've read, and had first hand), customer service, and bonuses (Free Chip, and Match), and I will rate it at a scale of 1-10.

1. Deposit/WithdrawalRating 9.9/10

Reason

As a player from the USA, most sites restrict any form of deposit except Visa, and it usually has to be a prepaid Visa at that. Club World accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American express. That is only the basic credit card options, they also offer EZ Voucher, MyPaylinQ, Click to Pay, and Wire Transfers.It also gives you the option of depositing over the phone, and if your having trouble there is a 24/7 customer support option to help you deposit. For those who don't live in the US have the additional options of Neteller, Skrill, Visa Electron, and Eco Card. That is a wide variety of options for a US player, and especially a lot for those around the world.

When it comes to withdrawals they offer (US only) ACH at a 5% fee, A check for US residents with a 25$ dollar fee, when the amount is less than $750, they offer Eco Card withdraws (I assume not for US players) and I don't see any fee for that option, Instadebit, Moneybookers, MyPaylinq, and Neteller, all appear to have no fee associated with those methods. They Offer a Wire Transfer for non US players, minimum of a 300$ withdrawal. I saved my favorite for last, this is an option I don't remember seeing even before 2006 when I played online poker, for a $9 fee they have an option Pay My Card, which allows you to have the money sent into the credit card you used to deposit with (Unfortunately not on prepaid cards, they have to be actual Credit Cards.Another benefit I just noticed as I doing this review is the Minimum withdrawal for most options is only $20! For someone like me who isn't a high roller or real lucky for that matter (LOL), that is a great option.I can't count how many times the minimum withdrawal on a site was $100, and they gave you a free chip with a max cash out of $50, or I have had $80-$90 in my account and lost it all trying to get over $100, The only thing that prevented me from giving this a 10/10 is the fact that they even charge a fee for a check (even though it's usually a $50 fee, I still think they shouldn't charge a dime for a check unless its for under $100. Overall though this is probably one of if not the best range and price of deposit options I have ever seen in my 7 years of gambling online in the USA.

2. SoftwareRating 8.8/10

Reason

I give this software a good rating for a few reasons. First of all when you log in, it doesn't have the "default" RTG look to it. They have a wide range of table games, keno, pull tabs, but what I like is the range of slot's and video poker they offer. They offer slots ranging from 1 line, 3 reel classics to a large variety of video slots, and they include the Big Progressives like Jackpot Pinatas, the Shopping Sprees, and the Midlife Crisis, although I believe the odds of me hitting a progressive is less than the Powerball, it still is fun to pay, and I have won large non Jackpot wins off of them. My favorite part of this casino and RTG in general is its large array of video poker. It allows you the option to play regular Jacks or Better all the way to 7 Card Stud, and for select games it allows you to play 3, 10, 52, and 100 hands at a time. Go Big or Go Home!! This casino also offers tournaments, and even freerolls and buy-ins as low as .01 cent with $50 guaranteed in prizes. This is the highest RTG tier, as mentioned earlier. The reason It got a rating of 8.8 is because I feel it lacks games that you would run into in a real casino (meaning not online), such as Wheel of fortune, or Monopoly or TV show themed games. All the kinds of slots you would see in a brick and mortar casino. Some of these slots are a little to "cartoony" in my opinion, but they have enough of a variety that if I'm in the mood for slots I can find one to play. The final part of my software review is, from time to time

Reputation/Customer Service/Bonuses Ratings 9.5/10 9.9/10 9.1/10

*I had 2 Long reviews for reputation and Customer service, and was almost done with the bonus review and I must've clicked something because it went back a page and I lost it, thank god I saved as much as I did lol, its probably better anyways this is a very long review.

Reason

As I stated earlier I did my due diligence before depositing more than 20$ at a random casino. Most sites that review casinos have Club World listed in the top 10 or even 5 for USA players. I can tell you first hand they were right. The customer service is phenomenal. When you ask about a bonus they will happily tell you everything you need to know from the play through req. to what games are applicable for that bonus. They don't say go look at the website, is there anything else I can do for you? or go read the T&C yourself. Its refreshing to not be bombarded with pre-typed messages and shoved away like some casinos "nuff said playas" *hint *hint for a future review. I'll give you a quick example, the other day I'm talking to a support rep at Club World. I asked him a million questions about all the promos they had going on, and decided for the amount I was depositing none of them were worth it. I was just depositing and playing with that, instead of saying is there anything else I can/t (help you with) a "prive" view for a future review, he tells me no problem and if you happen to lose it all, come back to chat and we will credit the bonus anyways. That's true customer service, that's how you keep loyal depositors loyal and get referral business. Now for the last part of this review the bonuses. The reason I scored the bonuses so high is because A. they have a bonus for video poker and all table games with a 25x play through B. They offer bonuses for any type of player out their depending on what your game is C. They Offer cash back programs and Comps you can redeem. The reason I didn't give it a 9.5 is because they don't give away as many free chips as other sites. Which is probably a good thing because sites like Slots of Vegas which have $300 free chips have terrible reviews. They did give $25 on Christmas eve, Christmas, and New Years, and I occasionally get mailed free chips, and AskGamblers has a $30 no deposit bonus, and a few match offers.

OVERALL RATING 9.44/10

I'm a very tough critic. It's hard to meet my standards, especially when it involves my money, but this place has done that and more. I hope my review has been a help to some out there and I promise from now on I will not write nearly as much of an introduction before I review the casino.

Club World Casino(Club USA) is an excellent example of my negative experiences, connected with any Real Time Gaming powered online casino so far! At that time – the late 2009, I was still a prisoner of my biggest jackpot hit I have ever made (Marvel Hero Jackpot for 8900 euro in the Betsafe Casino Black) and I was constantly dreaming for another one. That is the main reason I joined this casino, because it was also offering numerous jackpots to its customers, which can be won even when playing on lowest bets possible, although the chance for that is minimal! Anyway, I never had the chance to hit a jackpot there, and I also never used any of their generous bonuses. And the reason for that is very simple and it is called terribly high wagering requirements. I have seen 20, 30, 35 even 40 times WR x(bonus+deposit), but 50 times the combined value – never! It seems that their marketing department is relying mostly on the US players, who doesn’t have many choices and that is the main reason for this. So, it already obvious that I didn’t used the welcome bonus, nor any others, and the hunt for my next jackpot was financed only by personal resources:)!

The first slot game I tried at Club World casino was Pay Dirt. I started with 0.25 bet per spin and soon a got the free feature, which bring me only free spins. Than I decided to increase the bet with two scales and made it 0.75 and to wait for another feature. And than made it 1.25! And so on, until I got the free feature on bet 2.25. I selected the middle label and I got the gold fever feature, during which I had two gold pieces on the second reel, three gold pieces on the third reel and another two gold pieces on the fourth reel! I don’t remember what were the symbols on first and the last reels but the winning was above 800$ for sure! It was more than an excellent start, but do you remember what I have shared with you in the beginning of my review – that I was still a prisoner of the big jackpot?! The gambler is always greedy for more and was a pure example of this! I thought that nothing can’t stop me from hitting another jackpot – can you imagine what a stupid MF I was!??!?, and I continued to play. And I got lucky again – this time playing Aztec Treasures Feature Guarantee. My balance has reached almost 1500$, and that with only 45$ deposit, but it was still not enough for me and I started the next slot… I lost almost all of that 1500 in just 45 minutes! With the last 30-40 credits all that I managed to do was 250$ playing Mayan Queen and that was it! I was furious, but the fault was all mine and the only reason for the stupid situation was my greed!

The final bitter drop in the cup of my misery was that I had to wait a whole week for my withdrawal, although I used Moneybookers and it was written in the their terms that cash outs to e-wallets are processed immediately! Bullshits, this is not and never was a true! There is not such thing as a RTG powered casino, which pays on time – they are always late! But better late, than never!:)
So, to summarize I will use some simple rating scores:
Support: 7/10
Software: 9/10
Security: 5/10
Finance: 1/10
Bonuses: 1/10
Terms&Conditions: 5/10

Overall: Safe online casino, but still far from the best in the business!

Well that is it from me now:). Thanks to AskGamblers.com for giving me the opportunity to share my story! And always remember: “You can not break the casino bank, but it is worth trying!"

Next on my list for review is Club World Casino, also known as Club USA Casino. I have no idea why the casino have to use two different names, which can be confusing at times, but I presume that Club World (or USA) Casino is akin to William Hill Casino, in the sense that it is the 'father' of the group bearing the same name, namely Club World Casinos (CWC) and WHG. Both are well respected and renowned online gaming establishments.

I signed up at Club World Casino some years ago when I was still eagerly hunting down all those lovely free no-deposit bonuses. They were in abundance for new players like me at that time and none of these free bonus offers escaped my clutches, hehehe. Even so, no matter how many no-deposit bonus offers were available for the taking, I soon ran out of them! So, no more free bonuses were then followed up by deposit bonuses whenever I wanted to carry on playing at any casino of my choosing. Thankfully enough, I chose to start off at Club World Casino because of its reputation and good reviews. After playing the no-deposit bonus to zero balance, I then decided to play on, so I made a small deposit and got their offering of a deposit bonus. Can't recall how much it was, probably 200% or more, not less.

Being still new with RTG software at that moment in time, I had wanted to try out as many slot games as possible, to find out which ones I liked better. My small bankroll didn't allow me to play for very long and I could manage to try out only some of the games. I then switched over to fun mode to try out even more games which I had missed out during my real money play. As they say, 'practise makes perfect', and it certainly brought some benefits to my future game plays at the casino. After a few more deposits made over the days, I finally made my first win at Club World Casino. Not a really big win but enough for me to recover back all my deposited money and still had a little more extra left in hand. I broke the casino's bank on my first win! For me, that was one hell of a good achievement for a newbie! :)

Over the following days, I made a few more deposits at the casino, managing to make a little bit more extra wins, but when my next two deposits were unsuccessful, I decided to call it a day. 'Quit while you are ahead'. I certainly did that...and I haven't gone back to Club World Casino till today! My best achievement at that point in time was at Club World Casino. I couldn't get the same result at any other online casino, be it another RTG, Rival, Microgaming or Top Game casino, EXCEPT at a few Playtech casinos! Personally for me, Club World Casino shall remain my top favourite RTG casino, even though I have not been playing there again since. ;)

This place is a total scam. Do not use this I lost almost $1000 trying to play roulette. They let you win a little bit but there comes a point if you win 4-5 times in a row, they will make sure you don't win for the next 10 rounds. I played for days on here and total scam. One time I had 19 odds in row... unheard of. 90% of the time its always the opposite of what you pick. If you start to double up then forget about it, you won't win at all. Also I tried their slot machines. Their dollar slot machine pays you 15 cents every 10 spins. Its a f**king joke. They do pay on withdrawals which I managed to get only one withdrawal. Ever since then, I can't even make more than $20 in roulette.

Club USA Casino or Club World casino looks great in appearance but not great in meeting my expectations. Club USA has a dark background with a sleek look that attracts many players. I for one was inveigled here for it's look and equipped software, Real time gaming.

This casino is one of many ordinary casinos that are already out there that has your normal bonuses on divergent wagering requirements. I found it off the wall to see a bonus code on one of their welcome bonuses. It included eligibility on all card and table games with acceptance with slots confirmed by support when I asked them based on my doubts. They raised the bar really high on this bonus and 50 times my deposit and bonus to play on table, card games and slots were extreme. 30 times is much better compared to 50 times my deposit and bonus. I aimed for the 100% match for up to $777 instead due to it's reasonable qualities, a very high amount for a maximum limit, though I have seen higher! To tell you the truth I have never seen anyone deposit something for $777 or more before for the purpose of playing on this casino or any casino in general in just one go. To think anyone would be able to do that on a casino that might or might not pay up. My guess is only a high roller would make these decisions. Kudos to them for their riskiness and courage! $50 is my ideal deposit because it is an amount that is not too small or too large. Come to think of this I would use $50 bills much more when I'm not gambling online.

The bonus I took is for use of slots, keno and scratchcards containing just 20 times my deposit plus bonus. If Club USA left me with just 20 times the bonus only I would have easier and greater chances of victory! I played Treasure Chamber for a long time, betting for $1.60 each on this slot that had similarities to the one of Indiana Jones....the character posing as the wild in this slot and Indiana by comparison. It made everything last for an about two hours until my balance became a rounded shaped number that everyone hates 0! In addition to Treasure Chamber there were Fruit Frenzy and Hillbillies that helped me out within my 2 hours. My luck and balance was not enough to turn the wagering over and I was well entertained for my deposit. Unnecessary bonus requirements, great support but not enough $$$ on slots to make me want more of it, only enough to keep me on it briefly.

Club USA...a 6 out of 10!

Club World has loads of tournaments – I was so impressed with this past weekend’s facebook password freeroll. First time I have ever played in a tournament where you have option to re-buy for $0.00. Wow that was really nice of them. Thanks Club World !Club World casino deposit methods include your normal VISA, MasterCard, American Express Credit Cards E-wallets such as Neteller, EcoCard, Click2Pay as well as EZ Vouchers as well as the normal wire transfer and Instadebit.I did find it strange that they don't offer Skrill/Moneybookers as a method of depositing but they do offer it as a method of withdraw?They don't have the standard template design of your standard Real Time Gaming Platform. Club World casino has a very nicely designed Lobby which is very pleasing to the eye.I remember installing this Real Time Gaming casino some time ago. I clicked a Club USA link and it took me to Club World casino. It has been confusing me for a really long time as I did not understand why it didn't load the Club USA platform. I had initially thought that okay. Maybe Club USA is only available for players from the United States of America and well Club World is available to players from the rest of the world and I my guess was right.I have really been enjoying Real Time Gaming software lately. Once you win one jackpot all you want to do is win another one. So my hunt for a jackpot in the Real Time Gaming platforms has begun. With Club World next on my list, and I'm hoping that I will win a nice BIG JACKPOT THERE!This casino has various accredits and awards from various places on the world wide web (www). Another thing that has drawn me to deposit into this casino is the various slot tournaments that they have available. I love tournaments! Tournaments are my absolute fav!After, I had a read on the ASKG site about the New World Casino group. It’s nice to know that I have chosen a recommended RTG platform to play in.With awards like Best New Casino, Best USA friendly casino and Best Casino & even Best Casino Group awards under their belt. I feel more confident in depositing my money into this RTG casino. So Club world here I come!
