Download and Registration
It took me no more than a few minutes to download, install, register, deposit funds and start playing when I elected to join Genting Casino.
New members are given the option of playing either a flash version or a downloadable version which can be played from the desktop. Both come with the tantalizing prospect of a welcome bonus of £1,000 - more on which later. I opted for the latter.
Once the software had installed I had to sign up to become a member of Genting Casino which was all done with the minimum of fuss.
Once that was taken care of, I deposited some funds and was all set to start gaming.
New Member Incentives
Genting Casino rates itself as the biggest name in casinos but when it comes to their bonuses they walk the walk rather than just talk the talk.
When I signed up they were offering a £1,000 welcome bonus based on a member's first nine deposits. Genting will match a new member's first deposit 100% up to £175, the next seven deposits at 50% to a maximum of £100 and then the ninth reverts to 100% up to £175.
To be able to redeem winnings there are caveats but it is standard policy for any online casino and Genting is no different from any other.
I deposited £50 into my account and received my 100% welcome bonus, taking my total to £100. I subsequently deposited a further £30 and received an additional £15.
Genting also has other welcome bonuses which are constantly changing and being updated.

Deposit and Withdrawal Options
In order to start playing for real, you need to deposit funds. There are a number of different methods available to members of Genting Casino and almost all of them are instant.
Genting Casino members have the following options available to them for depositing funds: debit and credit cards such as solo, maestro, electron, delta, Visa and Mastercard; E-wallets like NETeller, moneybookers, Ukash, Click2Play and Click and buy; plus bank transfers.
All methods can be used free of charge and, with the exception of bank transfers, will see the money deposited into your Genting account instantly. Bank transfers take two to five days.
A minimum deposit is required and the amount varies depending on which method you use; I chose to use my moneybookers account, which requires a minimum deposit of £2, to transfer my funds.
Members wishing to withdraw funds can use the same methods with the exception of Mastercard and Diners Club credit cards and Ukash.
Withdrawals are free and, like deposits, require a minimum amount. Withdrawals can take anywhere between one day and five working days.
Customer Service and Support
Like all good online casinos, Genting has a comprehensive customer service set up which can be contacted 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Members can choose one of three methods when contacting Genting: phone, email and live chat.
So that the member incurs no costs, Genting provides a callback service where you can submit your number and have them call you.
Phone and live chat are the fastest methods available.
Promotions and Loyalty Programs
Genting Casino offers its members the chance to win big through its collection of progressive jackpots where the prizes grow in front of your very eyes.
There are other promotions available to members and those who play at Genting receive comp points which can be exchanged for real cash. The amount of points a player earns depends on which games they play as some are worth more than others.
The more points a member accrues, the higher their VIP level rises (if they are VIP members), the better the rewards are.
Genting promises that its VIP club is better than any other option on the market and entry to the club is by invite only.
Once inside, the Genting VIP club has five levels: VIP Plus, VIP Premier, VIP Elite, Club Genting and Club Prestige.
The more you play, the higher you will rise within the VIP club, opening opportunities to receive bigger and better promotions, additional bonuses, tailor-made programmes and much more.
