Club World Review

Bonuses and Promotions

Club World Casino does all they can to entice new players into joining; they offer a generous welcome bonus, but don’t necessarily expect to be paid if you win. While their bonuses and promotions may look attractive, remember; this casino is rogue.

Welcome Offer

The main welcome bonus offer at Club World Casino is a 300% matched deposit bonus up to $3,000 + a $75 free chip if you make a deposit using Bitcoin.

To claim the first deposit bonus, you need to use ” BIGSLOT ” code, while the second of the two casino bonuses requires no bonus code. Like most welcome bonuses, the main bonus offer at Club World Casino comes with wagering requirements of 50X, which is very high and likely unachievable for most players.

Completing the wagering requirement restrictions can be tough, too, as many games are excluded from being played with bonus funds – another reason to avoid this casino at all costs. The terms and conditions are pretty strict; if for any reason you do play at this rogue casino, make sure you read the terms and conditions to the tee.

No-Deposit & Free Spins Offers

At the time of writing, we couldn’t find any no-deposit bonuses or free spins bonuses offered at Club World Casino. This could help deter players from joining the site and potentially being ripped off.

VIP and Loyalty Programs

Club World Casino offers one of the blandest, cookie-cutter loyalty programs we’ve ever seen, and you simply earn 1 comp point for every unit of currency you wager. Once you’ve accumulated enough, you can exchange your comp point holdings for a cash bonus; it’s boring, bland, and there doesn’t appear to be any VIP program for high-rollers either.

BANKING AND PAYMENT METHODS

While writing this Club World Casino review, we looked at the banking options available.

The site allows players to make deposits and withdrawals using Wire Transfer, Instant Wire Transfer, Skrill (MoneyBookers), Bank Transfer, Neteller, Interac and ecoPayz. Many of these payment methods won’t be available due to restricted countries.

The casino claims that all deposits are credited to your account immediately. However, we have read reports of it taking several days before real money funds are added to players’ balances. As said, there are plenty of better places to play.

Withdrawal Speed

In the past, Club World Casino was a solid online casino; they were well-known for fast cashouts. Today, it’s a different story. If they even do process your withdrawal, it’s likely to take weeks – and they’ll try and stall in the hopes that you reverse your withdrawal and end up playing it all back. Again – avoid this online gambling clip-joint at all costs.

Responsible Gaming

While writing this review, Club World Casino tried to prove they care and take responsible gambling seriously, but a bit of digging showed it’s not quite as it seems. Here’s what they say on their responsible gambling page:

“Here at Club World, we strive to create and maintain a safe gambling environment to help those with problematic gambling habits. We will happily exclude players from all promotions, emails, and any other communication. We can also set up deposit limits to your account on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.”

It sounds fair enough, but they fail to mention you can’t set up any of these limits yourself – so if you’re a problem gambler, you have to reach out to the customer support team if trying to use the self-exclusion function. During this time, you’re free to continue to play – and lose. Not good, and yet another sign that Club World is lightyears behind reputable operators.

About the Team and History

Club World first opened its doors in 2005, and initially, they were seen as a reliable and trustworthy site. You’ll see us talking about this more in the next section of this review. The site runs exclusively on RTG software and is primarily focused on North American markets.

Despite claims that the Kahnawake Gaming Commission licenses them – and even saying they’re regulated in the Isle of Man – the only online gaming license Club World holds is from Curacao, part of the Netherlands Antilles. There have been reports that they operate within the Russian Federation and Costa Rica, Costa Rica of which is renowned for housing shady, dodgy iGaming sites.

Complaints and Track Record

This once awesome site of high repute fell from grace after the operator left and all of his key employees with him. The remaining two partners, who had nothing to do with the casino operations since the beginning, decided to bring in persons connected to the rogue casino operation Affpower. They began to commit fraud against their advertising partners.

The casino group began to detag and/or reduce the revenue share with their affiliates – all done without warning and notice. This is criminal fraud, in our opinion, and any affiliate (which at press time 18 March 2017 includes just about all of them) who notices these changes needs to have this addressed immediately.

This is such a shame as many affiliates had worked with this casino group for over a decade. As you can see from their awards, they had their stuff together here at Casinomeister at one point. Players loved the comp points scheme – but when Affpower got involved, everything went down the hole, and they’ve yet to show any signs of attempting to right their wrongs.
