Competition
The competition is very soft, especially for no-limit games. This has always been one of the best places for no-limit games. The limit games are decent, though they are not as popular as the no-limit games on this site.

Cashouts
The Gaming Club has fairly fast cashouts. Most Neteller cashouts are processed within 48 hours. Please note: The Gaming Club occasionally asks players to send in proof of address or similar forms of identification. I spoke with a representative and they told me that this is mainly for players who make cashouts of $1000 or more or players who send them conflicting information.

Customer Support
The Gaming Club has fairly good customer support, and they provide both email and phone support. So why is the score fairly low? First, the security measures in place are so tight that it burdens an unfair number of players. They will generally ask for identification if you make a large cashout (around $1000 or more) or if you provide "conflicting information." Conflicting information would mean if your country of registration/IP address don't match, personal details are incorrect or do not match your credit, etc. While sending in identification may be annoying, they will only ask you for this information once.

The Gaming Club customer support is generally friendly and understanding. However, the Prima Poker network has horrible customer support. Basically, The Gaming Club handles the majority of player problems (such as cashout and bonus issues), but the Prima network still has final control over a player's account. Because of my previous history with Prima, I knocked their score down quite a bit.
