Joining The Club at River Rock
The Club is the rewards program connected directly to River Rock Casino Resort at 8811 River Road, Richmond, British Columbia. You can start a membership through riverrock.com or walk up to the Club desk on the casino floor. Both paths end in the same account, but it is never considered fully active until a physical card has been issued.
That detail is important. Sending the online form on its own does not switch on tracking for your play. You still need to come in to the Club desk, show a valid government-issued photo ID, and have staff hand you a card. Only after that moment does your activity begin to register.
Typical flow if you want to register online first, then finish in person:
- Go to riverrock.com and look for The Club section.
- Follow the membership or registration button.
- Fill in your first and last name, date of birth, and contact information, including an email address.
- Tick consent for promotional messages if you want to receive offers later on.
- Submit the form and keep the confirmation number or email.
- Head to the Club desk at River Rock to pick up your physical card.
- Present government-issued photo ID proving you are at least 19. 8 ) Staff at the desk activate the card for you right there.
The minimum legal age for entering a casino in British Columbia is 19. Any reference to 21 as the age limit does not match BC law and does not reflect how access or The Club membership works at River Rock.
Doing It All In Person
For a lot of guests, signing up in person is simply more straightforward. You arrive at the property, find the Club desk - it is on the main casino floor and operates 24/7 - and everything is handled in a single visit. No need to track down a form in advance or search through your inbox.
Steps for completing registration on site:
- Come to River Rock Casino Resort, 8811 River Road, Richmond, BC.
- Locate the Club desk inside the casino.
- Let staff know you would like a new Club membership.
- Present government-issued photo ID that shows your date of birth.
- Confirm that you are at least 19 years old, which is the provincial minimum.
- Fill out the paper or digital application with your personal details.
- Receive your physical Club card as soon as the application is approved. 8 ) Ask staff about any current welcome offers or free play credits for new Club members.
The casino does not close, so timing is flexible. Early morning, late night, weekday or weekend - registration runs on the same schedule as the rest of the floor.
Eligibility at a Glance

A practical reminder that applies here, and at most regulated casinos: if it is your first time on a property, bringing a second piece of identification is usually a good idea. One ID is generally enough, but having a backup tends to remove small delays at the desk.
What The Club Actually Covers
The Club is part of the broader BCLC Encore Rewards ecosystem, which is the province-wide loyalty structure used at regulated gaming venues in BC. Points are earned based on play on the gaming floor. The card is used at slot machines and at table gaming areas so that your activity can be recorded. It is not a debit or credit card and has no use as cash outside the resort’s promotions.
Some third-party reviews mention welcome offers for new Club members, such as free play on a first visit and more credits if you return within 30 days. These amounts do not appear in official operator materials and can change over time. We always recommend checking the current details at the Club desk or on riverrock.com at the time you sign up rather than relying on older screenshots or articles.
When you join, you also open the door to promotional communications from the resort. That can include event notices, dining specials, and seasonal offers at River Rock. Whether those messages are valuable depends on how often you plan to visit.
