Gaming Club Casino Review (2020)

Cabaret Club are part of the Bayton Limited group who are associated with the Digimedia group of casinos.

The Digimedia group are the main and largest remaining group of Microgaming download casino providers. They are an amalgamation of several groups that were historically run independently including BrightShare, WagerShare, RedReturns, Fortune Lounge and the ReferBack.

This group are inconsistent in their approach to the discussion of complaints. They will usually provide a reason for their decision, but often will not provide any supporting evidence. This has resulted in a large volume of unresolved complaints at various mediation portals.

In late 2014 a situation came to light where an affiliate was found to be hacking into other sites and posting their gambling links on these sites without the owners knowledge or permission. This activity is clearly illegal and unethical. The majority of casinos that were receiving traffic from this affiliate closed the affiliate’s accounts upon finding out what the affiliate was doing, however some casinos, whether via intent or insufficient security policies, continued to be listed on these sites for many months after the activity of this affiliate came to light. Many other brands managed to quickly take action to get themselves removed from the hacked sites (closing the affiliate account down and ensuring that new accounts could not be open).

GamingClub hold the following gambling licenses :

• Malta Gaming Authority – In our experience the MGA is the best regulatory authority in terms of the management of player complaints. Their complaints team is open and cooperative in the discussion of player issues and we’ve managed to resolve a number of credible player issues working with the MGA. You can find further information regarding this regulator’s complaint policies. You can find further information regarding this regulator’s complaint policies here.

Gaming Club offer a comp point system that gives you different numbers of points for £10 wagered on different games – accrual rates are listed below. 200 points converts to £1 cash (or whatever currency you are using). This system is 50% better than the standard Playtech comp point system for all the games that earn 3 points, the same for the 2 point games and 50% worse for the 1 point games.

• All Video Poker (including Progressive), Craps, All Blackjack (including Progressive), Baccarat, Red Dog earn 1 point

The group that owns GamingClub casino are part of a wider group who have never been as forthcoming as we require of operators we would be happy sending players to. There’s no good reason not to have transparent policies when it comes to complaints.
