CLUB USA CASINO REVIEW

 

ClubUSA Casino Overview

 

Firstly it is important to know that ClubUSA casinos is the US facing version of Club World Casinos.  If you are in the US you will automatically be directed to www.ClubUSACasino.com, but if you are anywhere else in the world you will go to www.ClubWorldCasinos.com.  The 2 casinos are identical, so this review applies to both online casinos.

 

In order to download the software at Club USA Casino, you must first click on the link at the top of the home page that says Download Now. This will prompt you to save a file called SmartDownload.exe. Once you have downloaded the file, you may click on the icon to begin the download process. The installer is presented similarly to other install wizards that are used by operating systems like Windows. After the window opens, you simply click Next and agree to the Terms and Conditions. Select the file download location. On a standard Internet connection, the download takes around 20 seconds.

Club USA Casino requires your address, phone number (both daytime and evening) and all other pertinent information, even if you are just creating an account to play for free. You also cannot play the software as a guest and must create an account to view the games. This process takes longer than the download itself and greatly slows down the accessibility of the web site during the first log in. Subsequent log ins, however, only require the entry of the chosen username and password.

It is frustrating to realize that the minimum bet is already in place when playing American Roulette (the minimum bet is $1). Trying to place a bet of $25.00 by clicking on the respective chip actually results in a bet of $26.00. Placing a bet of $25.00 requires a click to first clear the minimum bet and another click to make the $25.00 bet. Another confusing feature is the pop up that accompanies the mouse as you select a bet on the table. Simply mousing over the various bets causes all associative bets (all black, for example) to highlight and causes betting information to appear beside the mouse that often hides portions of the table. While this is helpful information, it certainly isn't easy on the eyes.

Overall, the Blackjack presentation is very professional but there are a few complaints. For one, having all of the buttons available for wagering options and highlighting the ones available for use does more to confuse than it does to organize. There is some debate in the industry as to which button (Stand or Hit) should be placed in the middle, but having Stand in the middle of the selection field seems to confuse more than clarify. Perhaps a better design decision would have been to keep Re-bet on the bottom, Stand and Hit on the right and other wagers such as split and double on the left. For whatever reason, all of the buttons presented in the middle did not seem to work. Thankfully, however, the betting was not already stocked with the minimum as it was in Roulette.

ClubUSA Casino Bonuses

 

There are two welcome bonuses available at Club USA Casino that are designed to build the bankrolls of new players. Players that enjoy Slots, Keno and Scratch Cards qualify for a deposit bonus of 100% up to a maximum of $777. Players that prefer to spend their time at Video Poker, Casino Poker or Blackjack games can receive a deposit bonus of 100% up to a maximum of $150. All bonuses provided by Club USA Casino are non-cashable. Winnings from wagers made with bonuses can be withdrawn, but the bonus itself can never be cleared.

In addition, bonuses can be awarded only once per household, IP address or account. No cashout is allowed until the bonus has been wagered a set amount of times (when combined with the deposit). For example, the slots and keno bonus must be wagered 20 times before any money can be cashed out. Other bonuses generally require the deposit and bonus to be wagered 50 times before any withdrawals can be made. Finally, bets made while playing Craps, Roulette, Sic Bo and Baccarat do not count towards the clearing of a withdrawal.
