Counted today, the network still lists sixteen sister sites for a onetime Virtual City player. They reach from Zodiac through Players Palace to Casino Classic, while Grand Mondial keeps dealing and Golden Tiger does the same. Below is each room worth a switch, a short note on the closure, and a check made the same afternoon on what the old address now does. All an account carried — money, loyalty rank, a way in — shifted to Luxury, reached on the sign-in the member keeps.
The network
The sixteen sister sites Virtual City left behind
The sister sites here all run the same core Virtual City did, loyalty scheme and all, so a returning player finds next to nothing to relearn. What changes room to room is the theme up top; below it, the machinery stays identical throughout.
| Brand | Status | The rundown |
|---|---|---|
| Zodiac Casino | LIVE | Astrology styling fronts one of the group’s lowest deposits. |
| Grand Mondial | LIVE | Carries the network’s biggest progressive prizes. |
| Villento | LIVE | Plain styling laid on the shared network base. |
| Captain Cooks | LIVE | Sails a seafaring-explorer theme above the usual games. |
| Casino Kingdom | LIVE | Crowns-and-castles dress a room with low minimum stakes. |
| Golden Tiger | LIVE | Kept in trademark gold, a long-standing group fixture. |
| Grand Hotel Casino | LIVE | Dressed as a grand hotel over the common build. |
| Casino Classic | LIVE | Plainest and cheapest of the doors into the group. |
| Cosmo Casino | LIVE | Deep-space skin pulled over the familiar setup. |
| Yukon Gold | LIVE | Frontier prospector look over the shared build. |
| Players Palace | LIVE | Grand-palace fittings over the everyday Rewards floor. |
| UK Casino Club | LIVE | Sticks with a members-only feel, still taking new joiners. |
| Casino Action | LIVE | Table and card play come ahead of the reels. |
| Blackjack Ballroom | LIVE | New arrivals get pointed to the card tables first. |
| Quatro Casino | LIVE | Opening bonus split across four separate stages. |
| Luxury Casino | LIVE | The catch-all every retired brand now funnels into, Virtual City included. |
| Virtual City Casino | CLOSED | City-of-the-future styling on the network’s own software; once it was pulled, its address was left as a bare placeholder aimed nowhere. |
| Twelve further names came down | CLOSED | The remainder of that same cull; every name of them is logged on the hub page. |
The closure
Why Virtual City Casino was retired
Nothing dramatic sat behind it. No regulator moved against Virtual City and no shutdown was forced; over that spring the group simply carried fewer brands, letting this one lapse with a dozen more and keeping sixteen running. All a member had saved up — the funds, the loyalty rank, the login — went across to Luxury Casino and opens there on details already in hand. The Casino Rewards hub spells the whole reshuffle out.
Worth repeating, since a stray old page hints otherwise: Virtual City Casino signs up no one new. Any page still calling it open has quite missed the memo. The closure is settled, and its former players have landed at Luxury Casino.
What virtualcity.com serves up today. A visit on 20 July 2026 finds virtualcity.com carrying no casino of its own. Typed either way, plain http or secure https, root or www, the address answers the same: a stripped-back placeholder whose only instruction bounces the browser onward to a generic /lander parking screen. There is no game lobby behind it and no hand-off to Luxury — the domain has been wound down to a holding page. Where the seven earliest brands send their old links cleanly onward, this one arrives nowhere but a parked stub.
That holding page is a dead end, not a doorway. That real change had happened back on 12 May 2026, as every member’s cash and loyalty standing shifted into Luxury Casino, reached under the usual login. Getting to the old address changes nothing; it is the account, not the web link, that made the journey.
Ownership
Who ran Virtual City Casino
The Casino Rewards name sat over Virtual City, and that network answers to Apollo Entertainment Ltd. Based in Malta at Ta’ Xbiex, the firm appears on the register under C 45483. Every surviving room holds Kahnawake Gaming Commission approval, with an eCOGRA seal on top. Zodiac is the exception here: its Kahnawake permit rests not with Apollo but with a related group firm, Fresh Horizons Ltd.
Disambiguation
Where people get it mixed up
Two points get muddled, so I will take them one at a time. First, virtualcity.com hosts no casino any more — it resolves to a placeholder and shows only a parking screen, so a guide still calling that address a live venue is behind the times. The bigger point is this: the account you held ended up at Luxury rather than the shuttered brand. Picture the casinorewards.com entry as a library index card for a title that has been reshelved — it tells you where the book now sits without being the book. Real play picks up only at luxury.casino, the spot that pointer sends you to.
FAQ
Common questions after the Virtual City closure
Which sister sites are open to Virtual City players now?
The very ones open before the change — only Virtual City and twelve others were withdrawn, so sixteen sister sites carry on for players. That set covers Grand Mondial and Captain Cooks, plus Casino Kingdom, Villento and Zodiac Casino among the rest, each listed in the grid up top. Because every room runs the same platform Virtual City did, moving over asks little of anyone.
What made Virtual City Casino shut its doors?
A commercial call, nothing worse. That spring the group chose to field fewer brands, and Virtual City was among the thirteen dropped while sixteen kept trading. No one was left short: balances and logins passed to Luxury Casino, unchanged from before.
Will my Virtual City balance still be there?
Almost certainly, yes. Nothing was wiped: an account’s funds and loyalty rank came across as the brand wound down. Open Luxury Casino, enter the Virtual City details you saved, and you should find the balance waiting under the same name.
What shows up at virtualcity.com now?
Not a casino. A 20 July 2026 look shows the address returning only a stub that pushes the browser to a generic /lander parking screen — no games, and nothing forwarded to Luxury. None of that touches your account, which sits safe over at Luxury Casino; the domain is now a holding page and little else.
Do I need a new account to keep playing?
No new sign-up needed. Open Luxury Casino and key in the same Virtual City username and password from before; the transfer ran automatically once the brand went, so nothing needs filling in and the old details still work.
Is Virtual City Casino likely to return?
Best treated as gone for good. Retiring it reads as a permanent move, not a pause before some comeback, and its remaining players have already moved on. The safe bet is that it remains shut, with Luxury Casino having taken on all it once offered.
Only bet with money you can comfortably part with, and picture it as the cost of an evening’s entertainment, never as a source of income or a fix for past losses. The age limit and the fine detail differ from one country to the next, so read the terms that apply to you beforehand.
Should the fun begin to fade, no-cost and confidential help is only a message away: Gamblers Anonymous (gamblersanonymous.org) and Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org).
