Playoro Casino VIP Club

Points alongside my slots

I started with Big Bass Splash, then searched for Sugar Rush 1000 because I fancied something brighter. My stakes stayed at C$0.20, and I moved between the games instead of sticking with one cover all evening. The first session finished a few dollars down. Nothing dramatic. When I returned to the club, the points gave that ordinary stretch of play its own little counter.

I was at Entry level. The club began with my first real-money bet, so I hadn't needed to accept an invitation. I opened it from the same left-hand menu that held Promotions and Missions (the one beside the lobby). That made it easy to leave a game, look at the club and get back to searching.

What counted towards my points

I spent most of that evening in Slots, which counted at the full rate. Later, I opened Live Casino and watched a table for a while. The club didn't count every game equally. Fair enough. I put the contribution figures together after switching between those two tabs.

The point balance wasn't my cash balance. It sat alongside the rest of the club information, while my playable money remained in the account. I liked that separation because I could glance at the club, then return to the gold and purple controls without mixing up the two.

My route through the lobby

I didn't spend the whole evening staring at a loyalty counter. Most of it went on opening games, closing them and searching for another title. My Tim's had gone cold by the time I remembered the club again. Typical.

• Slots gave me the main shelf of more than 1,600 games, including the two I kept reopening.
• Scratch held 67 games, and I opened Scratch King for a change of pace.
• Live Casino had 36 games and its own top tab, so I didn't scroll through slots to reach it.
• Table Games grouped 23 games away from the much bigger slot selection.

I used Search more than the category shelves once I had a few favourites. Big Bass Splash came back onto my screen, then Gates of Olympus Super Scatter. I played the latter at C$0.20 and ended that short visit below where I'd started. The following evening, Big Bass Splash gave me a modest lift, and I closed with C$58 in the account. Different evenings, different results.

On my phone, I used the browser and the bottom Search button. There wasn't a store app to install. The burger menu took the place of the desktop sidebar, but I could still get to the club without starting again on a laptop.

The VIP Store I opened

I went into the cashier next and opened the VIP Store. The exchange list was more useful to me than the level names, because it showed exactly what each bundle of points became. My account was still Entry (no Diamond badge hiding off-screen). I started with that first row.

I looked at the Entry swap first: 100 points for C$2 in bonus money, credited instantly on exchange. That was the store transaction, not a payment to my wallet. There was no ceiling on collected points. I left the bigger rows alone and went back to the games I'd already been opening.

The store bonus had 35x wagering, 31 days to finish, a C$2 maximum bet and Spinoro games only. That last part was my one annoyance here, because I'd spent much of the session on Pragmatic Play titles. I opened Aladdin's Treasure next, with the club tab no longer taking up my attention.

I kept the welcome package separate from this store visit. The welcome codes belonged to deposits, while the store used the points I'd collected through play. The cashier was where those different routes met, but I reached them through different parts of the account.

Monday in the club

On Monday I came back through the purple Login button and opened the weekly cashback offer. Monday was the crediting day, with the measured week running from Monday 00:01 to Sunday 23:59 UTC. I'd seen the cashback banner sliding past in the lobby earlier, between Spinomania and The Big Draw.

I was still Entry, so I wasn't describing a Diamond payment landing in my own account. The offer needed a deposit during that week and an eligible net loss. It used bets minus wins minus bonus, excluding free-spin bets and jackpot game bets. If the loss exceeded deposits, the deposits supplied the calculation base instead. Minimum cashback was C$10.

I then returned to Promotions, where the cashback offer sat among the other weekly attractions. I liked being able to move from that page to Missions and then back to the lobby. The site felt like one account, not a stack of disconnected campaign pages.

The Bronze invitation

Did I get a personal manager message? No, I hadn't reached that stage. The terms promise contact at 400 points with an invitation to Bronze, and upgrades remain at management's discretion. The named extras were personal bonuses, level-specific promotions, the store and cashback up to 20%.

I finished that visit on my phone, with Casino and Live Casino still sitting along the bottom bar. My login notes follow that screen more closely, while the cash-out page follows the money leaving the cashier.
