South Beach Casino & Resort Registration & Ocean Club Guide

Top Casinos

South Beach Casino

South Beach keeps things simple: you don’t need an online account or pre-registration to walk into the building. You drive 30 minutes north of Winnipeg, park, show ID if asked and you’re in.

The real registration decision kicks in once you’re on the floor. That’s when you decide whether you’re playing totally anonymous, or whether you’ll let the Ocean Club track your slot sessions and turn that play into Beach Bucks cash-back and promo perks.

If you’re going to South Beach more than once, skipping Ocean Club is basically choosing to give up free money.

Getting In: Age, ID & Entry Rules

First layer: Basic access.

South Beach Casino & Resort is a First Nations–owned casino on Brokenhead Ojibway Nation land, operating under Manitoba’s casino rules. You must be 18 or older to gamble and enter the casino floor.

You should expect:

  • Government-issued photo ID checks (driver’s licence, passport, provincial ID card).
  • Extra verification if you look underage or when you’re cashing out a larger win.

Entry itself is free – there’s no admission fee, no ticket to get past the door. You only start spending money when you hit the bar, restaurant, hotel desk or the machines.

Ocean Club: The Main Registration That Matters

The Ocean Club is South Beach’s loyalty and rewards program, and it’s the only “account” worth talking about for casino purposes.

  • Membership is free.
  • You join by visiting the Ocean Club desk at the casino.
  • You get your Ocean Club card instantly and $10 Free Play for signing up.

From there:

  • You insert your card into any slot machine you play.
  • You earn Ocean Club points based on your play.
  • Every 400 points can be redeemed as $1 in Beach Bucks, which is real cash back you collect at the club or cashier.

It’s not complicated: it’s a classic “play, earn, redeem” setup with real cash and discounts attached.

How To Sign Up Step-by-Step

The sign-up process is designed for walk-ins, not spreadsheet planners.

  1. Head to the Ocean Club desk. It’s inside the casino; you can’t miss the branding.
  2. Show your ID. You need a valid government-issued photo ID. Staff check age and identity and set you up in the system.
  3. Receive your card + $10 Free Play. They print your Ocean Club card on the spot. As a new member, you’re credited with $10 Free Play to use on the slot floor.

You do not fill out a long digital form at home or link your bank account. It’s all done physically at the casino.

Using Your Ocean Club Card on the Floor

Once your card exists, the important thing is actually using it.

On a normal night, your routine should be:

  • Sit down at a slot machine.
  • Insert your Ocean Club card into the reader until the screen confirms you’re recognised.
  • Play as normal – points rack up in the background.

The program also layers on extra perks:

  • 10X Points Every Thursday – Ocean Club members earn ten times the usual points on all slot machines, all Thursday, all day.
  • Birthday Beach Bucks – members get bonus Beach Bucks in their birthday month.
  • Ongoing draws, gift shop and dining offers, especially for regulars and seniors (50 Plus Club–style savings).

So your card is not just tracking play; it’s also the key to half the promotions.

Does Ocean Club Affect Table Games?

Ocean Club is clearly built around slots. Table games at South Beach have fixed hours and a limited lineup (Double Deck Blackjack, Blackjack, Roulette, Texas Shootout, High Card Flush).

The reward focus is still on slot play, but your membership:

  • Opens access to table-related promos when they’re running (like draws or mixed play events).
  • Helps cement your status as a regular, which can matter for future targeted offers.

If you’re mostly a table player, Ocean Club still has value, but the best return on points is on the slots.

Is Registration Worth It For a One-Off Visit?

For a single night where you play $20 on penny slots and spend the rest of the time in the pool, technically you could skip registration and survive. But the trade-off is:

  • Ocean Club is free.
  • Sign-up is quick and on-site.
  • New members receive $10 Free Play on top.

So even a one-off visit can turn into:

  • A bit more slot time for the same money
  • Future Beach Bucks if you end up liking the place enough to come back

For anyone within normal driving distance of Winnipeg, or anyone who likes the idea of South Beach as their default “mini vacation” resort, joining Ocean Club is basically non-negotiable.
