Caesars, one of the most recognizable brands in gambling, opened their online casino in New Jersey in 2013. They are one of three casinos, along with Harrah’s and 888 Casino, to operate under the Caesars gaming license. They integrate their online sportsbook into the casino and offer a virtual poker room through their partner site WSOP.com. Read on for MetroPlay’s Caesars Online review.
How to sign up at Caesars Casino Online
As with most casinos, signing up is easy. You have to enter all the basic information — date of birth, address, social security number — and create a username and password. Unlike other sites, the password here cannot contain special characters.

Convert online Reward Credits to cash — For every 100 Reward Credits converted, players receive $10 in their account.
Total Rewards — Caesars is part of the Total Rewards program, one of the industry’s top reward programs for brick-and-mortar casinos. Every time you play a casino game, both online and at any casino participating in the Total Rewards program, you earn both Tier Credits and Reward Credits. Every Tier Credit you earn is added to your annual Tier score, which determines your Tier Status. There are four status levels: gold, platinum, diamond and Seven Stars, each with different gifts and perks such as gift shop discounts, priority check-in, upgrades and free rooms.
Players earn one reward credit for every Tier Credit. Reward Credits are your currency for receiving benefits. They can be redeemed for instant cash back online or transferred to your Total Rewards account and used for food, accommodations or entertainment at any Caesars property. Reward Credits can be redeemed for instant cash online at a rate of $1 for every 100 online reward credits.
One Reward Credit and one Tier Credit is earned for every $10 bet on slots, every $10 wagered on sports bets and every $100 bet on any other casino game.
Be sure to link your Total Rewards account to your online account so Tier Credits will automatically be transferred to your account. You must transfer Reward Credits over.

Caesars Online Review: The experience
Caesars is a trusted brand in gaming and I expected nothing less than a quality site from them. They deliver a clean, easy-to-navigate site with their sportsbook accessible from the same main page as the casino. This is a nice feature as there is no need to open another window to place a sports wager. All your previously played games show up on the bottom of the main page as tabs you can easily access to play again. Unlike some others, their progressive jackpots are not listed separately, so you have to look through all the slot games to find them. The gameplay itself is of the highest quality, but I did experience some of the slower load times for any online casino site.
