What is Genting Rewards?
Genting Rewards is the membership programme of Resorts World Genting. Members earn points on what they spend at the resort, and the card is also used for casino machine play and some SkyWay fares. One programme covers both gaming and non-gaming members, but the card you receive depends on your age and, for Malaysians, your religion.
Who can join Genting Rewards, and who can get a casino card?
Anyone aged 18+1 can sign up for Genting Rewards, but only some members can hold a casino-related card. The Genting Rewards terms and conditions set two conditions for casino membership:
| Rule | What the Genting Rewards terms say |
|---|---|
| Minimum age to join | 18+1 |
| Minimum age for a casino-related card | 21 (clause 2)2 |
| Malaysian Muslims | Not eligible for casino-related membership (clause 2(b))2 |
| Members under 21 and Malaysian Muslims | Receive a non-gaming SkyCard (SkyClassic, SkySilver, SkyGold)1 |
| Cards per member | One card type only2 |
The age and religion rules match the gate on the resort’s casino pages, which admits only people aged 21 and over3 who are non-Muslim if they are Malaysian citizens3. Our page on age and entry at the Genting casino covers the door rules, and can Muslims enter Genting explains the legal position.
What ID do you need for a Genting Rewards casino card?
A casino-related Genting Rewards card needs a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a Malaysian NRIC or a passport2. That is the membership rule. Showing ID at the gaming floor entrance is a separate check, covered on the age and entry page.
How do you sign up for a Genting Rewards card?
The published steps are short:
- Check you meet the age rule: 18+1 to join, 21 for a casino card.
- Bring photo ID: NRIC or passport2.
- Choose the card type. Members who are under 21 or are Malaysian Muslims receive a non-gaming SkyCard1.
- Wait for approval, which is at Genting Malaysia’s sole discretion2.
The FAQ adds that SkyClassic holders must switch to a gaming card at 211 before they can play.
What are the Genting Rewards tiers?
Gaming cards at Genting Rewards move up by Tier Points. The official FAQ lists Silver at 100 Tier Points, Gold at 300 Tier Points and Platinum by invitation only1, plus a Classic gaming card as the entry level. Tier Points count only in the calendar year you earn them.
Sources do not fully agree. A newer 2026 tier page, which we saw only as a search summary, gave 10,000 Tier Points for a Platinum invitation and said SkyCard was no longer offered. Until that page can be read in full, treat the FAQ figures as the published ones and ask at a Genting Rewards counter.
How are Genting Rewards points earned and used?
Members earn 1 Genting Point for every RM100 spent by cash, credit card or GeMCash1. Points last three years as long as you keep earning, and the terms say points cannot be swapped for cash.
| Published use or benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| Genting SkyWay ride | 9 Genting Points one-way instead of the cash fare4 |
| Parking | Free for Gold and Platinum members who tap the card on entry and exit5 |
| RW Hotel bookings | Open to casino guests and Gold members and above6 |
| Members Day | Up to 8x points7 |
| Machine play | A card is needed for all machine play (iGB, 2023)8 |
In December 2023 iGB reported a VIP status threshold of 500 Genting Points, equal to RM50,000 of spend8. That is the scale of spending behind the top tiers, and it is not a target.
Does Genting Rewards help you limit your play?
Genting Rewards helps you limit your play through Set My Limit, where cardholders aged 21 and over can set time and daily spending limits on electronic gaming machines9. Resorts World Genting also offers permanent or 7-day self-exclusion9 and a 24-hour hotline on +603 6105 95579. More help is on our responsible gambling page.
