The Genting Online Casino is one online part of the Malaysian conglomerate Genting Group. This company is one of the biggest leisure brands in the world, having been in business since 1965. Founded in Kuala Lumpur by Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, Genting’s original remit was servicing the luxury hotel and leisure complex niche. As they expanded their portfolio they moved into the oil and gas production sectors and high-class casinos. By the early 2010s, Genting had become one of the largest and most successful leisure and business corporations in the world, employing just under 60,000 people globally. With their successful chain of real-world casinos, it was only natural that this hightly profitable company should expand into the online gambling realm.

Welcome bonus

… is what we are going to talk about here. New players are always welcome at the Genting Online Casino, and that welcome extends to a one hundred percent first deposit bonus up to a maximum of £2,000!

As long as you make a minimum initial deposit at the casino in excess of ten pounds then that deposit will be matched by the casino one hundred percent as bonus money, up to that maximum of £2,000. Your bonus cash remains as bonus cash until you have wagered the value of your bonus fifty times over. Once you’ve completed wagering requirements your money is free for you to withdraw.

Note that the maximum bet you can make while meeting your bonus play-through expectations is £25, and that anything that the Genting Online Casino feels to be ‘minimal risk wagering’ (i.e. betting on red and black at the same time when playing roulette) will see your bonus cash forfeited. You have thirty days from the award of your bonus to meet wagering requirements, else you will lose your bonus cash.

Not all games contribute fully towards your wagering expectations, and there’s a full list available at the Genting Online Casino site. Basically roulette and many slots only count fifty percent, while all versions of baccarat and pai gow poker count twenty-five percent. Most versions of blackjack and video poker only count ten percent, while some games (such as blackjack surrender and casino hold’em) do not count at all. Make sure you check the bonus terms and conditions at this online casino before you embark on meeting your wagering requirements.

Range of Games

It appears that the Genting Online Casino fully understands that to be the best online casino around, you have to source from all of the very best software providers. That’s why this online casino can boast all the latest and greatest software titles from two of the biggest and longest-established software providers around – namely Playtech and IGT. There’s back up provided by Blueprint Gaming, Novomatic and Amaya.

There are many great slots to play, including Golden Jungle, Cleopatra Plus and Superman: Last Son of Krypton.

If your preference is for table games, then you’ll be delighted to find a whole host of titles, including roulette, blackjack, craps and baccarat. There are also fourteen video poker titles.

Finally, there’s an extensive live casino here provided by Evolution Gaming. If you like to play live casino games, you’ll be able to play blackjack, roulette, baccarat, three card poker and casino hold’em.

Layout and usability

So, what would you expect the Genting Online Casino to look like? Would you expect it to be all ‘flashy’ with cartoon characters running about all over the place? Or would you expect it to mirror Genting’s real-world gambling establishments – refined, cultured and with a certain je ne sais quoi? Well, it should come as no surprise for you to learn that if you went for option (b) then you’ve selected correctly! The online version of Genting gambling is a very respectful place indeed, bedecked in red and black with a very slight touch of green. Intrusive ads are kept to a minimum, as you would expect, but the site is not shy concerning its welcome offers to new players.

Genting Casino on a laptop

More and more of us are gaming using our smartphones and tablets, and Genting Online Casino have been quick to realise this, offering a special mobile-optimised version of their casino especially for mobile devices.

Getting started with the Genting Mobile Casino app is simplicity in itself – you do not even have to install any software to your phone or tablet! All you need to do is visit the Genting Mobile Casino using any suitable browser – the software you need will download temporarily to your device as you play.

The mobile version of Genting Online Casino is just as brilliant as the desktop version, and matches its ‘big brother’ in terms of design and functionality. Not all of the games available on the desktop site are available on the mobile-optimised version, but there’s more than enough to keep you thoroughly entertained.

Bonuses for existing players

The bonuses keep on flowing as long as you keep playing at the Genting Online Casino. The site always has extra special deals such as prize giveaways and bonuses available for specific games. Just check the ‘your offers’ page at any stage to see the latest deals tailored specifically for you. other regular deals include a weekly 100% deposit bonus and cash back on all your losses paid twice a month.

VIP/loyalty scheme

Of course at such a high class casino you’re going to naturally expect a little in the way of VIP treatment. You earn points by playing games at the casino, and each game contributes a different number of points – some games such as blackjack only contribute one point per £100 spent, but others (mainly slots) contribute TEN points per £100. This is a tiered system, and the more points you earn, the higher up the scheme you rise. There are eight tiers, and it’s those towards the top of the scheme who get the best results when it comes to converting points back into cash.

Special features

There are plenty of ways of receiving support at the Genting Online Casino. Your attention should first be directed towards the help pages at the site. These cover most topics, including the bonuses that are available, how the VIP scheme works, and the options available to you when it comes to managing your money.

If you need more help you can contact the casino at support@gentingcasino.com, or you can request a call back from the site’s support team using the function via the Customer Support page.

If you have an urgent matter that needs attending to then you will find that Live Chat is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In fact the only day that live chat is not available is Christmas Day!

Other betting options

With Genting being one of the largest gambling brands in the known world, you’d be surprised if they didn’t offer gambling alternatives to the casino. Indeed they do, but they’ve only so far ventured as far as an online sports book, called ‘Genting Bet’. They used to have a poker site, but clicking on this now just takes you through to the live casino section. You can play casino poker here, but not the traditional type of poker where you sit down at virtual tables with real players. Genting Poker closed down in March 2016, leaving a lot of regular Genting Poker players very unhappy.

The sports betting section is very good. All major markets are covered, and the emphasis appears to be on football and horse racing. You can get a special deal here as a newcomer – £10 free bet insurance. This means that if your first bet at the site of a minimum of £10 is a loser, you will £10 back as a free bet in compensation.

There are other daily deals to which makes sports betting really worthwhile at this online sports book.

Overall Rating of Genting Online Casino

casino-rating-4We’re going to grade the Genting Online Casino at four stars out of a possible five. We love almost everything about this casino – the stylish design, the superb mobile-optimised version of the casino software and the three hundred games that are available – but we can’t quite give it a full five-star rating. Our reasons? We would like to see a few more payment options available, especially other eWallet solutions aside from Skrill. We would also like to see one or two other ‘big’ providers available at this online site, particularly NetEnt and Microgaming.

Still, four out of five stars isn’t exactly bad! For some high-class treatment at a top-of-the-range online casino we thoroughly recommend the Genting Online Casino.
