Two Ways to Become a Member
Genting Casino Leicester sits at 17-19 East Bond Street, Leicester, LE1 4SU. It is operated by Genting Casinos UK Limited under a UK Gambling Commission licence, and you must be a registered member before you can play. That is standard for licensed casinos in the UK: no membership usually means no access to the gaming floor.
The upside is that joining does not cost anything and normally takes only a few minutes. You can handle it in one of two ways: walk into the club and sign up at reception, or complete an online pre-registration form at gentingcasinos.co.uk/register/casinos ahead of time. Whichever route you take, you end up with the same thing - a My Genting Rewards card you present on every visit.
| Registration Method | Where | When You Get Your Card |
|---|---|---|
| In person at reception or cash desk | Genting Casino Leicester, LE1 4SU | Same visit |
| Online pre-registration | gentingcasinos.co.uk/register/casinos | Collected on first in-club visit |
| My Genting Rewards App | Mobile app | Collected on first in-club visit |
A lot of people prefer the online option, especially if they want to avoid filling out forms at the venue entrance. If you are already on your way into town though, doing it face to face at the desk usually takes around five minutes from start to finish.
Registering Online Before You Visit
Online pre-registration tends to be the smoother choice if you like to have things sorted before you arrive. In practice, it works like this.
Go to gentingcasinos.co.uk/register/casinos and check that the web address starts with “https” and that you can clearly see the official Genting branding. Once you are happy you are on the right site, hit the join or registration button to open the form.
The first details they usually ask for are your mobile number and date of birth. These are there for age checks, which are a legal requirement in the UK. After that, you type in your full name, gender, email address, and your UK residential address. Then you set up a username and choose a password that you do not reuse on other sites - it is simply safer that way.
During the process you will see an option to set deposit limits. That sits under Genting’s responsible gambling tools and comes from UKGC regulations, so it is not something you can skip. Once that is done, you confirm that you are over 18, accept the terms and conditions, and send off the form.
You then receive a confirmation, usually by email or sometimes by SMS. Your physical My Genting Rewards card is not posted out to you. Instead, you pick it up from Genting Casino Leicester the first time you visit after registering. If the online check cannot confirm your address automatically, or if you started the registration while living outside the UK, bring photographic ID with you when you go to collect the card. A driving licence, passport, or foreign national ID card are all accepted.
Registering at the Door
If you prefer to keep things simple and just handle it when you arrive, in-person registration is fine. The Leicester venue is open every day from 12pm until 4am, and live table games begin from 2pm.
When you walk in, look for the reception desk or cash desk near the entrance and tell a member of staff you would like to open a new membership. They will ask to see valid photographic ID - most people use a UK driving licence or passport, and visitors from abroad can show a foreign passport or national ID card. You give them your basic personal details, they input it into their system, and you walk out from the desk with your Rewards card in your hand.
At that point you are a member. You can head onto the gaming floor, order from the bar, and take part in any offers or promotions running at that time.
If you want to double-check anything, or confirm a detail before you set off, you can ring the venue directly on 0116 262 5036.
Identity Checks and Age Verification
UK gambling rules require every casino operator to confirm who you are and that you are old enough to play. No one under 18 can join as a member or use the gaming floor, whether they have come via online pre-registration or turned up in person.
For online signups, your details are checked automatically against UK address and identity databases. If that check does not pass, you will be asked to show an ID document when you collect your Rewards card. For registrations started at the venue, staff look at your original ID at the desk before they process anything.
| Accepted ID Documents | Valid For |
|---|---|
| UK driving licence | Age and address verification |
| UK or foreign passport | Age verification |
| Foreign national ID card | Age verification |
On top of age checks, Genting carries out anti-money-laundering checks under its UKGC licence obligations. This is standard practice across regulated UK casinos rather than something unique to the Leicester club.
A small practical reminder: if you are using a foreign passport or a non-UK ID card, take the original document with you. Photocopies, scans on your phone, or photos printed out at home are almost never enough when you are actually standing at the collection desk, and it is an easy thing to forget.
