What Signing Up Actually Means Here
Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City does not behave like an online site. There is no web form, no email to click, no password field waiting for you. It is a bricks-and-mortar casino inside Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, and what you do to “sign up” depends on what you actually want once you arrive.
Most people searching for sign up here are usually after one of four things: entering the gaming floor for the first time, registering for the Aspers World loyalty scheme, getting an Aspire Reward card, or putting their name down for a poker tournament. Each of these has its own small process. They overlap a bit, but they are not identical, which matters when you walk in expecting a single registration counter.
There is no entrance fee for standard entry. You do not need to pre-book just to get into the casino.
Getting In: Your First Visit Step by Step
If Aspers Stratford is new to you, the way in is fairly basic. It can feel formal the first time, but from start to finish it usually only takes a few minutes once you know the rhythm.
The casino sits on Level 3 of Westfield Stratford City - that level is also called The Loft - at 312 Montfichet Road, London E20 1ET. You can head up from The Street entrance, come in via Car Park B, or weave your way through the World Food Court inside the centre. As soon as you reach Level 3, the casino frontage stands out clearly.
First step: walk up to the main entrance on Level 3. Staff are normally right there before you get through the doors.
Next, be ready to show photo ID if you look under 25. The venue follows a Challenge 25 approach, which is the standard policy in UK gambling locations. A valid passport or driving licence is fine. Other official government-issued photo identification is generally acceptable as well.
You will also be asked to confirm you are at least 18. UK law under the Gambling Act 2005 sets 18 as the firm minimum age for gambling activity. It does not bend; there are no loopholes.
Once that quick check is complete, you simply walk inside. No ticket is issued, no membership card is needed, and there is no requirement to reserve a time slot just for basic entry to the public areas.
After that, take a moment to get your bearings. The casino floor covers around 65,000 square feet, which is on the larger side. You can ask a staff member to show you where things are, or grab a floor plan from near the entrance if you prefer to orient yourself.
Then you move to the money side of things. You can swap cash for chips at the cashier desk if you plan to play table games, or you can go straight to the electronic machines if you prefer slots or terminals. Both are straightforward once you are inside.
There is one practical point that applies to any first casino visit, not just Aspers Stratford. Decide roughly how much you are comfortable spending before you arrive. Nobody will request that number from you, but setting it in advance usually makes it easier to enjoy the night.
If your total spend or buy-ins during the visit start heading over £1,000, staff may ask you again for ID or a bit more detail. That comes from anti-money laundering requirements under UK regulation. It is a legal obligation on the venue rather than something personal.

Joining Aspers World: The Loyalty Membership
When regulars at Aspers Stratford talk about signing up, they usually mean the Aspers World loyalty membership. This is free, handled in person, and takes only a short time at the reception desk. In return you get access to points, discounts, and member-only promotions that work across Aspers venues and some partner brands.
You cannot complete this registration online or in advance. It is done face to face.
Head to the reception desk close to the main entrance on Level 3. Let a member of staff know you would like to join Aspers World. During sign up you will be asked for your name, date of birth, home address and basic contact information. These details are standard requirements under UK gambling rules. You will also be asked to show a piece of photo ID again at this stage, even if nobody checked it as you first walked in.
After the formality is finished, you are issued with your Aspire Reward card. That plastic card quietly links your gaming and dining activity back to your Aspers World profile. Each time you play on eligible games or buy food and drink at Aspers venues, points build up automatically on your account and you can later trade them for discounts or specific offers.
Partner perks have at various times included discounts at the Holiday Inn Westfield Stratford City, along with leisure days out at places like Port Lympne Reserve and Howletts Wild Animal Park. The exact partner list is not fixed and can change, so it is worth asking what is part of the scheme when you join or looking at the current list.
On the promotional side, Aspers has run members-only deals such as “Crack the Code” - a campaign where you could try to pick a five-digit code for the chance to win up to £10,000 - and “Higher or Lower” style bonus games. These campaigns are time-limited and rotate, so what is available at any one moment is something you should check either on aspersstratford.co.uk or directly at the reception desk.
