General Ratings
Clubs Casino
KHK Games launched Clubs Casino in September 2024, and this was shortly after launching their sweepstakes poker platform, Clubs Poker.
Clubs Casino is a pretty standard sweepstakes site that uses the usual Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins format, with real money redemptions available after you’ve amassed at least 100 SC. Its game library comprises mostly slots, but there are a handful of other game types too.
Unfortunately, there’s no VIP program or referral program for now, and very little to get involved with on social media, but I expect Clubs to improve these things in the future.
Pros
- Solid no deposit bonus
- Good variety within the slots category
- Games from top developers
- Everything checks out as legit
- Daily login bonus available
Cons
- Lacking extensive alternatives to slot games
- Lacks features that go above and beyond the basics
- Low social media activity
- Limited payment options
Bonus Details
The no deposit bonus offers you 10 free SC spins on the Zombie Circus slot, and this might feel different from how other sweepstakes casinos do signup offers. 10 free SC spins is a great amount, but you do have to use it on a predetermined game. Fortunately, this game’s RTP is set quite high at 96.92%, so you could win big and set yourself up with plenty of SC for your time on Clubs Casino.
As for the first purchase bonus, you get 100% extra free – when you spend $20 you get 200,000 Gold Coins and 40 Sweeps Coins.
Restricted States
To play at Clubs Casino, you must be over 18 years of age or the minimum legal age of majority, whichever is higher in your jurisdiction.
You can play from most states within the US, with the restricted states being:
- Idaho
- Louisiana
- Michigan
- Montana
- Nevada
- Washington
- West Virginia
Clubs Casino Games
While Clubs Casino’s game library may currently be relatively small at around 300 titles, it is populated by top developers. You’re in safe hands with
- Pragmatic Play (Big Bass Bonanza, Gates of Olympus 1000)
- Hacksaw Gaming (Wanted Dead or a Wild, Le Bandit)
- Relax Gaming (Money Train, TNT Tumble)
The above all have a great reputation and some of the highest quality titles.
Within the slots genre, there is variety too. You’ll find titles in the following categories, providing good choices when it comes to the style of gameplay:
- Tumble/Cascading Reels
- Megaways
- Hold & Spin
- Power Nudge
- Connect & Collect
| Clubs Casino Game Overview | |
|---|---|
| Total Games | 300+ |
| Slot Types | Tumble/Cascading Reels, Megaways, Hold & Spin, Power Nudge, Connect & Collect, Buy the Bonus, Classic |
| Other Game Types | Blackjack, High Low, Plinko, Roulette, Baccarat |
| Software Providers | 4 |
As an avid fan of Hacksaw, I decided to play Le Bandit, a medium volatility, Super Cascading slot with a vintage Fleischer/Disney cartoon aesthetic.
In the base game, you’re aiming to get five or more matching symbols next to each other anywhere on the grid, AKA Cluster Pays. When you do, those squares will glow gold, and then the cascade happens, which could, of course, create a new cluster of five or more. By the way, Super Cascading just means that when a winning cluster hits, all symbols of that type are removed from the grid, rather than only the ones in the winning cluster.
However, the real key to winning big is this: if there’s a rainbow on the grid, it will prompt the gold squares to turn into coin values (from Bronze to Gold), or even Four Leaf Clovers and Pots of Gold. These will multiply your winnings, and with three types of bonus rounds thrown in for good measure, things can stack up really fast. The max possible win is 10,000x.
I played Le Bandit for around 30 minutes, starting with a balance of 5,000 GC and wagering 5 GC per spin at first. On my very first spin, I got a cluster, then after two more cascades, two further clusters, but I only won 7 GC here. I could see I needed to get a rainbow and some of the coin multipliers, or a bonus round, to stand any chance of not finishing down here.
About 10 spins later I did indeed land a rainbow and some coins, resulting in a win of 64 GC from one cluster. Then a couple of spins later, I landed something similar but with a Four Leaf Clover multiplier, resulting in 116 GC – this was much better, and at this point, I was up overall.
About 10 minutes into my session I landed three FS symbols, which took me into the Luck of the Bandit bonus round. Here, you get eight free spins, plus any golden squares stay highlighted for the whole round, so if you get a Rainbow once, it’s likely to trigger quite a few golden squares you’ve built up. I won 206 GC in total here, which was decent, and at this point I was up in total at around 5,300 GC – not bad.
Then I had a barren patch where I dropped back down to my original total, so I decided to go all in and up my bet to 10 GC, then turn on autoplay to speed things up. I did record one more big win in the base game at 276 GC, but no more bonus rounds materialized, and so in the end I decided to cut my losses at around 4500 GC… I should have quit while I was ahead!
If you want a newer mechanic that’s a little novel, I can also recommend Fire Stampede Connect & Collect from Pragmatic Play.
Here, the Connect & Collect symbols can land in any standard position on the grid, and if you get them to join up from left to right, you’ll unlock a bonus round according to the special symbol you passed through. These special positions are found at the top and bottom on the third reel, as well as the whole of the sixth reel.
The excellent new Duel at Dawn game from Hacksaw is also available at Clubs Casino; be sure to check this one out for its innovative DuelReel and Outlaw mechanics.
On the whole, there’s a great choice for slots fans at Clubs Casino. While the library is relatively limited, everyone will be able to find at least a few games they really click with.
Another small positive is that there aren’t only slot games, which can sometimes be the case. Clubs Casino has a couple of titles from the Hacksaw Dare2Win series, namely Plinko and Hi–Lo, and there’s also an American Blackjack game, Roulette, and Baccarat. So while these non–slot titles may (again) be few, at least they are there.
As I’ve already noted, Hacksaw, Relax, Pragmatic Play, and Backseat Gaming give Clubs Casino a built-in pedigree. The site has also recently added titles from NetGaming if you like more niche studios. Most of their games feel a little amateur compared to the other three developers though, so you might be best sticking to those above for maximum fun.
As a relatively new sweepstakes site, Clubs Casino does not offer tournaments or leaderboards as standard at this time. However, they may offer them as part of special promotions. For example, at Christmas time I noticed they were offering a leaderboard for play on Sweet Bonanza Xmas, with the top finishers earning some coin rewards. It’d be great to see more of this kind of thing from Clubs Casino as the site matures and improves.

Clubs Casino Cashier
I found the cashier function to be pretty standard for anyone who’s played at a sweepstakes casino before.
Purchases
Purchases are easy to make by heading to the cashier section and selecting a coin package, then adding your credit card information. No fees are charged on Clubs Casino’s end, and, of course, card payments are instant. It’s just a shame there are no other payment options available, such as e–wallets or Trustly.
Below you’ll find the full list of coin packages:
| Price | Gold Coins | Sweeps Coins |
|---|---|---|
| $1.99 | 10,000 GC | N/A |
| $4.99 | 25,000 GC | 5 SC |
| $9.99 | 50,000 GC | 10 SC |
| $19.99 | 100,000 GC | 20 SC |
| $19.99 (on promotion) | 200,000 GC | 40 SC |
| $49.99 | 510,000 GC | 51 SC |
| $199.99 | 1,025,000 GC | 206 SC |
| $299.99 | 1,575,000 GC | 310 SC |
| $499.99 | 2,700,000 GC | 520 SC |
Redemption
With the limited options, it’s pretty easy to wrap your head around how things work.
You can purchase coins with a debit/credit card, which is instant with no fees charged by the casino.
When it comes to redemptions, once you’ve amassed at least 100 SC (with any bonus SC played through once), you can make a redemption request, which should be processed to your bank account within a week. 1 SC = $1, which is standard. Again, no fees are charged here. Redemptions are capped at 1,000 SC weekly, but any winnings above this limit can be redeemed in subsequent weeks.
For first–time prize redemptions, you’ll need to complete an ID verification process using an automated submission form. Acceptable forms of ID include a driver’s license or government–issued ID, a bank statement, and a selfie.
Payment Options: Overview
| Method | Purchase | Redemption | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa | Yes | No | Instant |
| Mastercard | Yes | No | Instant |
| Amex | Yes | No | Instant |
| Online bank transfer | No | Yes | 3–7 days |

Clubs Casino Background
Is Clubs Casino Legit?
I’m pleased to say that Clubs Casino is legitimate. It has an alternative method of entry; a KYC program; SSL encryption; a privacy policy and terms and conditions; a safe social gameplay mechanism; and reputable game providers with legitimate RTP percentages. On that last point, there’s a handy PDF you can download from the footer with all the percentages at a glance.
All these things add up to a sweepstakes casino platform you can trust.

Similar Sites
KHK Games owns and operates Clubs Poker, which is also a sweepstakes site, but with a focus on poker, as the name implies. There you can play against other players from the US, but via a sweepstakes model – it’s a similar concept to ClubWPT Poker.
It’s clear KHK are positioning themselves as an emerging competitor in the sweepstakes industry, appealing to players who enjoy both casual poker and casino experiences.
Safety Ratings
User Experience
The platform’s user interface is OK; it utilizes dark blue backgrounds and lighter text, giving a classic casino feel, but the design is fairly basic on the whole.
There’s no mobile app, but that’s fine because everything comes across absolutely fine on mobile via your web browser.
As of yet there’s no need for intricate filtering on the games, as there aren’t really enough titles, but maybe that will come as the library expands. As it stands, you can filter by broad categories and search by title. You also have a tab where you can store your Favorite Games, and there’s a tab for Recently Played too, so it’s nice and quick to find something you already enjoyed.
Customer Support
Customer support is one of the weaker areas at Clubs Casino. It feels like they’re doing the bare minimum again, with email support as the only option. You might notice the email is for the Clubs Poker domain too.
On top of that, while there is an FAQ area, it’s really yet to be fleshed out properly, so you might be left scratching your head as to some of the finer details of playing here. And similarly, the FAQs are written for both platforms, so it doesn’t feel like they’re fully intended for and specific to Clubs Casino.
I sent an email to test out the support service, and did receive a numbered ticket straight away to let me know my message had been received. Then I got a proper response within ten minutes, which is very fast. However, my queries weren’t answered fully, and the agent sometimes responded with information about Clubs Poker, even though I’d specified Clubs Casino initially.
| Channel | Info | Response Time |
|---|---|---|
| Email form | Available via FAQ pages | Within 15 minutes |
| Email address | support@clubspoker.com | Within 15 minutes |
Clubs Casino offers a variety of tools to help players manage their gaming responsibly and stay within their personal limits. Here are the available options:
- Set limits on GC purchases for seven day periods
- Temporarily disable purchases for seven days
- Establish daily hourly play limits
- Self–exclude from accessing the social casino entirely
UX Ratings
SweepsPlays Thoughts
Every sweepstakes casino has to start somewhere, and with Clubs Casino being a relatively new entrant into the market, there is still a lot to work on before it can compete with the big boys. At times it feels like it’s simply been spun off as an easy expansion from Clubs Poker.
However, they’ve laid a solid foundation in some ways, especially by going with such reputable developers as Hacksaw, Pragmatic Play, and Relax; I look forward to Clubs expanding their game library with even more titles from these studios.
On the whole, the bonuses are good, although there’s still room for improvement here. Also, I’d like to see them add to their payment options soon.
I look forward to something like a live chat feature too. While the email responses are fast, it feels a bit antiquated to only have this available. Also, there’s no dedicated email address for Clubs Casino (you have to message Clubs Poker), which could lead to some players feeling like this whole site is a bit of an afterthought.
I also hope they’ll add to the FAQ section some more, as this area feels a little empty for the time being. Finally, a VIP program and more ongoing rewards and challenges would really benefit the platform too, as would more posting on social media.
All in all, there are better sweepstakes casinos out there that have been going for much longer, such as McLuck and Stake.us, but Clubs Casino is certainly one to watch.
