Zodiac Casino has sister sites like Captain Cooks, Grand Mondial, Golden Tiger, Luxury Casino, Casino Action, Quatro, Yukon Gold and UK Casino Club, plus more than a dozen others. All of them belong to Casino Rewards Group, run by Apollo Entertainment Ltd in Malta.
One quick thing first. If you have the old web address zodiaccasino.com saved somewhere, it no longer works as a casino page on its own. It now sends you straight to zodiac.casino/en, which is the real, live site today. Update your bookmark if you need to.
Zodiac gets the headline here because that is what people search for. But most of this page is about the sister sites, because that is the more useful part. Once you understand how Casino Rewards Group runs its casinos, you understand every one of them, not just Zodiac.
Casino Rewards runs close to thirty casinos that all look and play the same
Zodiac belongs to a group called Casino Rewards. On its own website, casinorewards.com, the company lists itself as the operator behind well over a dozen named brands on top of Zodiac itself. Other sources put the true number of brands the group has used over the years at close to thirty. We are not going to list all thirty, because a name on a group list is not proof a brand is still trading. Instead, we checked the well-known ones ourselves, on their own websites, one at a time. All of the following are live, working casinos right now, not dead pages or parking screens:
- Captain Cooks Casino
- Grand Mondial Casino
- Golden Tiger Casino
- Luxury Casino
- Yukon Gold Casino
- Casino Action
- Quatro Casino
- Villento Casino
- Casino Classic
- Blackjack Ballroom
- Players Palace Casino
- Casino Kingdom
- Cosmo Casino
- UK Casino Club
Not every brand the group has ever used is still running on its own. Vegas Country Casino, for example, is an old brand name that now simply forwards visitors straight to the Luxury Casino page on the Casino Rewards site. That is normal for a group this size. Brands get folded into each other or quietly retired over time, while the games, the software and the company behind them barely change.
The company on paper is Apollo Entertainment Ltd, registered in Malta. It is named in the footer of Zodiac and of most of its sister sites, including Captain Cooks, Grand Mondial, Luxury Casino, Golden Tiger, Yukon Gold and Casino Classic. UK Casino Club’s own footer names a different, related company, Apricot Investments Limited, which is worth knowing even though it changes nothing about how the site actually works day to day. Big groups like this often run individual brands through slightly different company names while sharing the same games, the same support desk and the same regulator paperwork underneath.
The games come from the same small pool of suppliers everywhere
Across the sister sites, the game libraries look very similar because they draw from the same suppliers. Microgaming titles such as Mega Moolah and Thunderstruck turn up again and again across Zodiac, Captain Cooks, Golden Tiger, Casino Action and Quatro, which fits with Casino Rewards’ long history as one of Microgaming’s biggest casino groups. Live dealer tables, where a site has them, run on Pragmatic Play Live software: real dealers, dealt in real time, for blackjack, roulette, baccarat and a few game-show style titles. Captain Cooks, Golden Tiger, Luxury Casino, Yukon Gold and Quatro all show a live dealer section clearly on their homepage. A few sister sites, such as Grand Mondial, Casino Action and UK Casino Club, do not highlight live dealer games on their homepage, so do not assume every brand has the same live floor. Check the specific site’s live casino section before you sign up expecting it.
Signing up takes a minute, but the checks get properly strict before you get paid
Every sister site we looked at uses the same light sign-up. You give a password, your name, your email address and basic contact details, and you are playing within a couple of minutes. There is no long form and no document upload at that stage. The real checks come later. Zodiac’s own terms say that if you are withdrawing for the first time through certain payment methods, the casino runs extra verification checks that can add five to seven working days on top of the normal payout time. In plain terms: sign up, play a bit, decide you want your money out, and expect the first payout to take noticeably longer than the ones after it while they confirm who you are. This is standard across the whole group, not a Zodiac-only quirk, since every brand shares the same back-office and the same terms template.
Money moves the same way at every sister site, and none of it is crypto
None of the Casino Rewards sites we checked, Zodiac included, take cryptocurrency. Deposits go in by credit and debit card, bank transfer, prepaid vouchers, e-wallets such as Skrill, and, for Canadian players, Interac. Withdrawals come back out through Visa and Mastercard, e-wallets, direct bank transfer, or CAD EFT and e-cheque if you are in Canada.
The numbers on Zodiac’s own site give a good idea of what to expect across the group: a $50 minimum withdrawal through most methods, a higher $300 minimum if you want a direct bank transfer, and a fee on bank transfers above a certain size. Every withdrawal sits in a 48-hour pending period first. After that, e-wallet payouts tend to land in one to three working days, cards in around three working days, CAD EFT in two to three working days, and direct bank transfers can take six to ten working days. If you want your money quickly on this network, an e-wallet or Interac beats a bank transfer every time.
Canada gets its own currency display and its own local payment option
Canada is clearly a core market for this group, not an afterthought. Every sister site we checked shows player winnings in CA$ throughout, not just in generic dollar signs. Interac deposits and CAD EFT withdrawals exist specifically for Canadian players, and Zodiac’s terms set a minimum play age of 19, or the legal age of majority where you live, whichever is higher, which lines up with most Canadian provinces. The casinos carry certification from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, a gaming regulator based in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake in Quebec. That is a real, long-standing regulator, but it is a separate system from provincial regulators such as Ontario’s iGaming Ontario. If you play from a province that runs its own regulated online casino market, it is worth knowing that a Kahnawake-certified site sits under a different kind of licence to a provincial one, even though both are legitimate setups on paper.
One account and one VIP status follow you between brands, but new-player offers do not
This is the part that actually matters if you are choosing between two or three of these casinos rather than just sticking with one. Casino Rewards runs a single loyalty account across its member casinos. Sign up at one, and the same login works at the others. Your VIP status carries across the whole network, not just the site where you earned it, and the points you collect can be redeemed at any member casino, not only the one you played at. The company says the scheme runs six status levels and pays out tens of millions of dollars a year across its player base.
What does not carry over is the welcome treatment for new players, which is generally offered per brand. Switching to a “new” sister site can still come with its own new-customer offer even though you are really still inside the same network with the same account. The games, the banking options, the support team, the regulator paperwork and your loyalty status are all shared. The branding, the colour scheme, the site name and the new-player offer are what actually differ from one sister site to the next.
Apollo Entertainment holds the licence that sits behind Zodiac and most of its sisters
We checked Malta’s own public licence register for Apollo Entertainment Ltd, company number C 45483. It holds a Type 1 gaming service authorisation, number MGA/B2C/164/2008, and its status on the register is listed simply as Licensed. The registered address on the register matches exactly what the casino footers say: 8, Villa Seminia, Suite 2, Sir Temi Zammit Avenue, Ta’ Xbiex, Malta.
On the Canadian side, Kahnawake’s own list of certified operators shows a related company, Fresh Horizons Ltd, holding the authorisation that covers Zodiac and thirteen of the sister brands above by name. Two other sister brands from the list above, Casino Kingdom and Cosmo Casino, sit under a different company on Kahnawake’s records. That is a reminder that a casino group this size is rarely a single legal entity end to end, even when every site looks and plays the same. The sites also carry a certification badge from eCOGRA, an independent testing body that checks games and payout percentages are fair. eCOGRA is not a licence regulator on its own; it works alongside Kahnawake and Malta, not instead of them.
Put simply: if you already play at Zodiac and fancy a change of scenery without learning a new system, any of the sister sites above will feel familiar within a few minutes. They run on the same games, pay out on the same rules, and treat your VIP status the same way. What actually changes is the site’s name, its colours, and whatever new-player deal that particular brand happens to be running this week.
