Casino Loyalty Clubs
In Avery Cardoza’s excellent Secrets of Winning Slots, Cardoza suggests the following about slots clubs: “The greatest boon to hit players yet, the slots clubs, are the best way for slots players to amass a seemingly endless parade of room comps, meal comps, show comps, line passes and even cash rebates.” Even though Cardoza is discussing the slots loyalty clubs available in Las Vegas casinos, online casino loyalty schemes are equally the “greatest boon to hit” online gamers. While you of course can’t claim a free hotel room by becoming a member of 32Red’s, or Intercasino’s loyalty club, you will be able to claim some pretty generous promotions and prizes.
If you’ve never heard of a loyalty club before, they usually take the form of a point based system, where you can convert points (earned by wagering on certain games) into casino chips. You’ll find a much more in depth guide on our casino loyalty clubs page, so if you wish to know more, we recommend you consult that. Otherwise, read on for more information about how you can really take advantage of the loyalty schemes on offer and make them work for you.
Joining a Casino Loyalty Club
First things first, the majority of our featured casinos offer loyalty schemes and usually you become a member automatically, when you first sign up as a real player. However, if you’re not sure about whether you’re earning loyalty points, don’t be afraid to ask customer support whether you’re actually a member of the club. If you do decide to consult customer support, make sure to ask them about any promotions on offer which will allow you to earn extra points. The casino will be happy to tell you about these, as it’ll mean you’ll be wagering cash on their selected games, but if they have a special loyalty club promotion on, you’ll be able to earn a few extra points in the process, which you can then convert into casino chips.
Shopping Around and Moving on Up
If you are considering placing a lot of emphasis on the quality of a casino’s loyalty club, don’t be afraid to shop around. Some online casinos are more generous than others, so if you’re a slots player, find an online casino which places importance on high rewards for slots players. Of our featured casinos, we recommend 32Red, which offers extra loyalty points through certain Red Rubies promotions. More information about this can be found on our 32Red loyalty club section.
Finally, as a high performing member of a casino loyalty club, the casino should offer you the chance to progress up through higher loyalty levels. Online casinos such as Spin Palace start players on a low blue level, but as you play and collect more points you’ll be able to move up the tiers and gain extra bonuses and promotions. When choosing a casino loyalty club, look at it as a long term engagement. Ideally, a loyalty scheme will allow you to move up the ranks, claim extra promotions and eventually make it into the casino’s VIP club. Find out if your chosen casino offers these opportunities before you make a commitment.
