Maximize Your Play with Casino Loyalty Points

You won't find a loyalty points program at every online casino. This fact makes it hugely important to figure out which casino offers them - and whether they have one of the best programs around.

Choosing the best program can help you maximize your play, so you get more for your funds whenever you're at that casino.

What is a casino loyalty program?

It's a program built to reward you for playing at that casino. Every casino wants you to choose them rather than another site, so it makes sense to provide ways to tempt you back whenever they can.

Loyalty programs are ideal for doing this. They're also known as comp point programs, while some casinos offer a VIP program. This might be their name for the loyalty program, but in some cases, we've seen casinos offer both. In this case, you can bet the VIP program is via invitation only, with most players using the standard loyalty program instead.

Counting your comp points

Short for complimentary, comp points are given to players who play for real at the casino. This means you won't get any points if you play demo games, as you're not spending money on them. If you make real cash bets, you will earn points.

The point allocation depends on the individual casino. However, you should always check the games you will earn points for, as there can be some variation there too. The system works out how many points you earn and keeps track of them inside your account.

How to convert your comp points

When you have gotten enough of them, you can convert them. This usually means converting to dollars to spend on the games, although some casinos allow you to withdraw them with no limitations. The casino rules will explain more about how the program works and what you can expect from it.

Can you find other advantages to a loyalty program?

Sometimes, yes - but again it does depend on the casino. Some provide other rewards depending on how active you are and how many points you collect. For example, we've seen casinos with different levels in their rewards programs. This often means you can get more comp points for reaching higher levels, so you'll enjoy better perks and redemption rates along the way.

Our advice is to check the comp points or loyalty program at every casino you visit. This should help you work out which site is best to join, with the loyalty program forming another part of the overall evaluation process before you get underway.
