Club Dice Casino Review

If you like your virtual casinos blunt and to the point, Club Dice should be right up your street. There ain’t no messing around with this online casino that does exactly what it says on the tin. Its emblem a pair of red dice showing sixes, the site forms a compact but capable portal where players can indulge in many of their favourite casino games.

Club Dice is best visited on desktop; the site belongs to the pre-responsive design era, when web pages hugged the centre of the screen, with large bands of unclaimed space on either side. It’s not the newest or coolest casino then, but it’s by no means the worst offender out there.

Available in around a dozen languages, Club Dice is operated by ElectraWorks Limited, a company blessed with no shortage of online casinos, all of which hail from a similar time period. What ElectraWorks’ sites may lack in slickness and mobile friendliness they more than make up for in number. Think quantity not quality.

The site is licensed in Britain by the UK Gambling Commission as well as holding a gaming license issued by the Gibraltar government, where ElectraWorks is registered.

Roll the Dice

The goals espoused by online casinos can invariably be boiled down to the same basic premise: to provide an entertaining gaming experience for players that mimics the thrills and excitement of playing at a real casino. That and the need to provide all of the foregoing in a safe and secure environment.

Club Dice may not be reinventing the wheel then, or even transforming the future of online gaming for that matter, but at least it’s taking care of the basics: providing a secure hub where players can immerse themselves in roulette, slots and table games galore. The site uses industry standard encryption and gaming software designed by Playtech.

Getting Started at Club Dice

Like the bulk of ElectraWorks sites, Club Dice operates a downloadable software model. You know; that means of accessing online casinos that was the norm until HTML5 came along and rendered all of that obsolete. Despite these advancements in technology, there are still plenty of sites hobbling along in the current year with a download requirement in place.

The good news is this means that if you’re a desktop PC user, you’re just a few clicks away from getting started. The bad news is that if you’re a tablet, mobile or Mac user, you’re all out of luck. The dice at this casino are loaded against you and if you wanna play, it’ll need to be at a more up-to-date website.

Have Yourself a Welcome Bonus

If the need for downloadable software is a turn-off, perhaps this will be a turn-on: Club Dice will dish out a £500 welcome bonus to get you started. This works out at a 100% bonus of up to £100 for each of your first 5 deposits. The wagering requirement before you can withdraw any winnings with this deal is 25x.

Club Dice also goes to great lengths to attract high rollers, those whales who are the lifeblood of any casino. Deposit more than £1,000 with one of your first 5 deposits and you’ll receive an XL High Rollers Bonus of £300. Deposit more and you’ll reap more – all told there’s £2,500 up for grabs with your first 5 deposits if you’re making 4-figure deposits.

Once you’ve signed up, made your first 5 deposits and gotten over the excitement of receiving bonus cash left, right and centre, there are still promotions to play for. Club Dice will send out regular emails detailing the latest promotions as they go live.

On an ongoing basis, there are also bonuses to be claimed when adding funds to your account via one of Club Dice’s preferred payment methods. These include Neteller, Entropay and Skrill. There’s also money to be made from inviting your friends to sign up and join in the fun – you’ll earn a £25 bonus when they make their first deposit.

VIPs and Comps

Most casinos, both virtual and real world, offer comps points. These schemes reward regular players with cashback every time they place a bet. For every £10 you place at Club Dice, you’ll receive 1 comp point. Collect 100 comps and you’ll receive £1 back. This isn’t the most lucrative comps scheme you’ll ever encounter, but it’s better than nothing and what’s more you’ll earn a better comps rate when you become a VIP. Club Dice has 3 tiers of VIP membership, emerald, diamond and black diamond. The more you play, the higher you climb and the higher you climb the more comp points you’ll receive.

Banking and Support

When it comes to making a deposit with Club Dice, there’s no shortage of payment methods available. Credit and debit cards are supported of course including Visa and MasterCard. Then there’s Neteller, Entropay and Skrill along with Paysafecard, WebMoney and Instadebit. Finally, the site offers a plethora of regional payment methods. These include Poli, iDeal and Euteller. When it’s time to withdraw funds, the same methods are available.

Unfortunately Club Dice isn’t particularly forthcoming when it comes to doling out information: there is a help section, but the FAQ is on the slim side. Should you require customer support, you can get in touch with Club Dice by email or by phone.

Give the Games a Go

Like many other download-only sites, Club Dice doesn’t have a games lobby you can access in-browser at the click of a button. Instead, you can click on a preview tab which opens a miniature browser window containing a snapshot of the games you can play when you download Club Dice’s software onto your desktop. This preview includes a selection of arcade games, card games, progressive slots, table games and video poker.

The arcade games include Derby Day, a popular virtual horse racing game that faithfully simulates a day at the races, and Genie’s Hi-Lo, a simple card betting game. There’s also Keno and Pop Bingo. If card games are more your thing, Club Dice is stocked with all the usual suspects including blackjack, baccarat and Tequila Poker, which combines elements of poker and blackjack resulting in ‘pure unadulterated excitement’.

Progressive Games

Club Dice features a number of progressive jackpot games with some serious top prizes up for grabs. Pick of the bunch is arguably Gold Rally, with a jackpot of well over $1 million. Not bad for a 3-reel slot. Other 3-reel progressive games include Safe Cracker, another casino stalwart. There’s also Queen of Pyramids which ain’t the prettiest 5-reel slot you’ll ever play, but hey, scoop the jackpot and you won’t be complaining.

The regular slots to be found at Club Dice aren’t too exciting if truth be told, including Desert Treasure and Fruit Mania. There’s not a whole lotta slots – or indeed any other games for that matter – at Club Dice, but that’s par for the course with older casinos. You sign up, you download the software and you take what you’re given.
