How do I download the free software?
First make sure that all your other applications are closed, then click on the Free Download button to start the software download. The initial download will take only 2-10 minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. You are now ready to install the 32Red software application file that you saved to your desktop. Double-click to open 32Red - the installation wizard will then begin. Follow the prompts when requested and the software will be installed.

I have downloaded the file but cannot find it

If the 32Red icon is not on your desktop and you can't remember where you saved it, please follow these steps...

If the 32Red icon is not on your desktop and you can't remember where you saved it, please follow these steps:

Open the window search function by clicking on ‘start’ then ‘search’ then ‘file and folders’(alternatively, press the windows key + F simultaneously)
In the search field, type in ‘32Red Casino’ and click ‘search now’
When the file has been found you can install the software by double-clicking on the filename in the search results

Please note: if you cannot find the installation file after following these steps your download probably did not complete. Please download the software from our website again.

Do I have to download every time I want to play?
Absolutely not! You only need to download and install the 32Red Online Casino once. After installing the file, it is accessible from your Start Menu.

I cannot complete the installation, when I run the install file
Please make sure that you have enough space on your hard drive to complete the installation. 32Red Casino needs at least 30 megabytes of disk space to install.

I keep losing my connection while trying to download the file
You are probably experiencing problems caused by Internet Congestion. This usually happens during working hours when a lot of people use the Internet. The best times to download large files are later in the evening or during weekends.

Please note: this can also be the case, when files take too long to download or do not complete.

I cannot connect to gaming server
This problem is usually caused by one of three things:

You have lost your Internet connection
You have a very poor or slow connection to the gaming server
You have a firewall blocking you from playing

Please note: reconnecting to the Internet, particularly in the evening or during the weekend when it is less busy, can solve the first two problems. If you think your problem is related to a firewall, please ask your firewall administrator to open port 80; you will have to make sure that you are not behind a proxy server.

The Slots keep spinning / Roulette wheel keeps spinning / Cards don't turn over
You have either lost your Internet connection or you have a very slow connection to the gaming server. The gaming server will complete the last transaction and you will be able to view it the next time you log on.

Banking...

How do I make a deposit into my account?
When you are connected to the 32Red Casino click on the 'Bank' button, which takes you to the 32Red Casino Bank page. From here you can register debit / credit cards or a variety of electronic wallet accounts and instantly make a purchase of casino chips. For full details on the range of payment options, click on the 32Red Banking section.

How long does it take to process my deposit / purchase of chips? Using your Switch or Delta card is the safest and most convenient way of depositing funds into your gaming account; the funds are deposited instantly, free of charge. Funds are also deposited instantly when using your Credit Card, with no charges levied. 32Red accepts a number of other payment and withdrawal mechanisms - please see our Banking Page for more information.

How can I identify any payments or withdrawals on my bank statement?
Payments and withdrawals will show as...

'32Red (Trafalgar BG)' for Debit and Credit Cards
'Cashmove' for Firepay

How do I withdraw my winnings?
You can cash-in any amount of chips in your account at any time. It is not necessary to cash-in your chips at the end of each session as the balance will remain in your account, available immediately the next time you connect. Cash-ins can be made by clicking on the ‘Bank’ button. Then click on the ‘Cash-in’ button and simply put the amount you wish to withdraw in the box. This is automatically recorded in the software and will be processed accordingly.

Are there any limits to how much I can withdraw and how long does it take?
There are no limits or restrictions on the amounts you may cash-in through your Debit Card. Cash-ins reach your bank account within 3-4 working days. There are no charges for withdrawing money using a Credit Card. However, your cash-in can be refunded only against your original Credit Card purchase(s). It takes up to 5 working days after the request has been received - subject to additional bank processing times - for the refund to show in your account. You can credit funds back to your Firepay account. This will take between 2-4 days. There are no limits or restrictions on the amounts you may cash-in by Cheque; this process takes between 21-24 working days.

Please note: in the interest of customer security, and for your protection, we will carry out certain checks and verifications.

How can I follow up financial transactions?
You can track and audit your financial activity at 32Red. CashCheck is a web-based facility giving you a comprehensive history with details of all purchases and withdrawals - similar to a bank statement.

I made a withdrawal, but have changed my mind. How can I cancel a withdrawal request?
Cashed-in funds will be held pending for 4 hours, during which time you may reverse the cash-in by simply selecting this option in the Banking section of the 32Red Casino. If you wish to reverse cash-ins after this period you can contact Support and, depending on the stage of the refund process, we may be able to reverse it.

Why are my purchases being rejected?
Purchases can be rejected for numerous reasons, many of which have nothing to do with your credit. Your request for purchase is sent securely via the Internet, but if it is delayed along the way our processing centre will reject the transaction rather than process it with incomplete data.

Additional reasons are that your billing information doesn't match the credit card information that you entered on the Casino Banking page. For instance, if you have entered a different post code (Zip code) or your residential address is different to your billing address, then the purchase is likely to be rejected.

Your credit card company might have set controls (or barriers) to prevent potential fraudulent transactions. If several purchases are made within a short period of time your credit card company may block your card for all transactions. This is an automatic response and can also happen if three or more purchases for the same amount are processed by one merchant (or processor) to your credit card.

Please note: if you feel that your debit / credit card is getting rejected incorrectly, please contact our help desk so that we can assist in resolving the problem.

Game Play...

How fair are the games at your casino?
Our casino supports a Fair Gaming Policy, which means that each time a game is played the software uses the Microgaming Random Number Generator to randomly produce the gaming results. This ensures that no ‘programming’ advantages can be created on the casino's side that favour the house, while also preventing players from ‘cracking the system’ or gaining an unfair advantage by counting cards.

Please note: for your peace of mind, we have engaged the services of Independent auditors. They review all our games' payout percentages on a monthly basis. You can review these reports by going to our Payout Report section.

How do you determine which cards are drawn (dice thrown, number selected, etc.) for the games?
The most important part of an online casino is a specially designed program called the Random Number Generator. This is the program that generates a sequence of numbers which correspond to various card types, dice throws, etc. A good random Number Generator will produce numbers that are:

Evenly distributed and correlated.
Unpredictable.

If a Random Number Generator is evenly distributed and not correlated, each number will be hit approximately the same number of times over a large number of events. However, if it is unpredictable you will be unable to predict the next number in a series no matter how many previously generated numbers you have studied.

Please note: Guests who are playing for fun also experience the 32Red Random Number Generator as it is used throughout the casino, for both play and real money. We believe it is important for Guests to evaluate the casino fully and realistically before playing with real money. Not all casinos operate in this way.

What happens if I am suddenly disconnected from the Internet while I play?
If you find yourself disconnected from the Internet while you are in the middle of a game - don't panic. In games where player action takes place during the round, such as Blackjack, Craps and Video Poker, you will be returned automatically to the exact point at which the game was interrupted, allowing you to continue from where you left, just like in any game round.

In games like Slots and Roulette, where the player does not make decisions in the game after the round has started, you can simply log back in to the casino and click on the PlayCheck button to see how the game finished.

Does Roulette have American or European rules?
This depends on the game played. See our Online Roulette at 32Red section to find out more about Roulette at 32Red.

How many decks are there in the Blackjack game?
The number of decks depends on which type of Blackjack you are playing. In the Casino there are games which use 2, 4, 5 and 8 decks. Each game offers a different challenge and in turn needs a different winning strategy.

In fact there are numerous ways in which Blackjack games vary, such as the options to surrender, double, split and re-split, split aces and so on. There is only one progressive Blackjack game (Triple 7s Blackjack) and one multi-hand game (Multi-hand Blackjack). All decks are shuffled before each hand, and all Blackjacks pay 3 to 2.

If you win 2000 coins, and the coin size is 25p, the total payout will be £500, OR
If you win 1000 coins, and the coin size 25c, the total payout will be $250
