Virtual City Casino was a 2002 Microgaming room in the Casino Rewards loyalty network, one of the thirteen retired in the group’s May 2026 consolidation into Luxury Casino. Its distinctive mark is a split at the casino’s own address: a clean redirect on http, a broken certificate on https. This record covers the brand, its address today, and what the operator says happened to accounts.

01 · The brand

A 2002 network room under the Virtual City name

Virtual City launched in 2002 at virtualcitycasino.com, a Microgaming casino on the Casino Rewards shared account, carrying the group’s standard high safety profile (scored 9.5 by the main aggregators) and the same shared loyalty balance and back office as its stablemates.

It still surfaces on directory and affiliate lists as though it were open, which is what a dated record corrects.

02 · Its address today

A clean http redirect, a broken certificate on https

The casino’s address, virtualcitycasino.com, behaves differently by scheme. Over http it returns a clean permanent redirect to the Luxury Casino page on the Casino Rewards estate; over https the request does not complete cleanly – the server presents a default certificate that does not match the hostname, and the connection returns a forbidden response rather than the redirect. Checked 18 July 2026, the Luxury reroute is therefore reliable over http, while https trips a certificate warning.

The brand’s old affiliate link resolves to Luxury as well, and Rewards Affiliates no longer lists Virtual City among its sixteen remaining brands. The certificate mismatch is a loose end in the wind-down, not a sign the casino is trading – it takes no players either way.

03 · The accounts

What the group says became of balances

By the operator’s account, no Virtual City balance was cut adrift: a live balance moves to Luxury Casino and reopens there under the same Casino Rewards login. Because the network has run one shared wallet across its brands since the early 2000s, that is a plausible route – but this record treats it as the operator’s stated position rather than a proven one, because no dated, independent record shows a specific Virtual City balance paid out at Luxury. The full consolidation and funds mechanics, including the counter-note that Luxury itself carries an unresolved withholding complaint on Casino Guru, are set out once in the hub’s account of what happened to balances; this page keeps to what is specific to Virtual City.

The practical step is the plain one: sign in to Luxury with your existing group details, check the balance it lists, and put any gap to support in writing while your own records are fresh. CasinoGone links to no casino here and names Luxury only as the destination the group states for these accounts, and it lists Virtual City with its stablemates on the consolidation tracker.

In the UK: Virtual city was not kept in the group’s short surviving line-up of UK Casino Club, Zodiac and Luxury Casino. The name virtual city casino uk still shows as active on the Gambling Commission register under Apollo Entertainment Ltd, account 38620, but that is a register lag rather than an open casino. The duty rise behind the withdrawal and the full UK exit are explained in the hub’s UK section.

04 · The questions

Virtual City Casino – questions on the record

Q. Is Virtual City Casino still running?

No. It was withdrawn in the 2026 Casino Rewards consolidation and takes no players. Over http its address, virtualcitycasino.com, redirects to the Luxury Casino page; over https it returns a certificate error rather than completing.

Q. Why does virtualcitycasino.com show a security warning?

Its https server presents a default certificate that does not match the hostname, so browsers flag it and the request returns a forbidden response instead of the redirect – checked 18 July 2026. The clean Luxury redirect runs over http. The mismatch is a wind-down loose end, not a working casino.

Q. Did my Virtual City balance move to Luxury?

The operator says a live balance reopens at Luxury on the same group login, and no stranded-funds history trails Virtual City itself. It stays the group’s stated account rather than a documented one, so confirm the figure at your Luxury login and raise any shortfall in writing.
