Tsogo Sun Launches OneCard Across Six Major Casinos in South Africa
Tsogo Sun has introduced OneCard, a new unified gaming card that centralises play, points and funds across six of its leading casino properties, streamlining the experience for members.
The new OneCard can be used at Montecasino, Gold Reef City, Silverstar Casino, Emerald Resort & Casino, Suncoast Casino and Golden Horse Casino. The rollout took place from February 16 to 19, with existing Tsogo Rewards cards automatically upgraded to include OneCard functionality. Following the transition, members can use a single active card across all participating properties, eliminating the need to carry multiple cards.
In a statement, Tsogo Sun said: “Tsogo Rewards cards are becoming OneCard from February 16. Players can enjoy a simpler, smarter way to play and manage all your funds and points on one card.”
“With OneCard, you use a single card to access your play at all participating casinos. That means one card in your wallet,” the company added. The launch forms part of Tsogo Sun’s wider 2026 strategy to modernise its digital ecosystem and enhance the customer experience. Integrated with the Tsogo Sun mobile app, OneCard enables smoother cross-property engagement, making it easier for players to track points, manage funds and redeem rewards across locations.
OneCard tracks gameplay, accumulates loyalty points and manages player funds across all six casinos. More than a traditional loyalty card, it acts as a centralised system for both gaming activity and rewards, enabling members to access their credits and benefits seamlessly at any participating venue.
By consolidating loyalty and gaming functions into a single platform, Tsogo Sun aims to simplify operations for players while encouraging greater engagement across its casino portfolio. The result is a more connected, convenient and rewarding experience for members throughout the group’s properties.
