What NOT to Do If You Want Better Casino Offers

Players always ask us how to get better casino deals, free cruises, and comps. Here is what not to do if you want the casino to see your best play value.

1. Don't split your play between players' cards

Use only your own card. Splitting lowers your average and hurts future offers.

2. Don't play light every day

Casinos look at your daily average, not your total trip. Two strong days beat five weak ones.

3. Don't use your card for a few small spins

Light play with your card in can drag down your rating. If you are not really playing, or not planning to stay long, skip the card that day.

4. Don't play on someone else's offer or card

Your play will not count properly toward your future comps.

5. Don't lend your card to friends

Handing your player's card to friends to use for parking or your free play can hurt you. Card activity on a day you did not really play can pull down your overall ADT.

6. Don't book direct without telling your host

Your casino rate or comp might not link to your account, and you will miss future offers.

7. Don't cash out too early

Short sessions look like low play. Stay long enough for your average bet to register correctly.

8. Don't chase losses

Casinos reward theoretical play, not how much you lose. Play smart and consistent.

9. Don't leave without confirming your play

Before you leave the ship or property, make sure your sessions were rated correctly. Mistakes can cost you future comps.

10. Don't mix casino comp bookings with travel bookings the wrong way

If a reservation is tied to a casino offer, let your casino host handle it.

What to do instead

• Always use your player's card when you are really playing. That is how you get credit.
• Concentrate your play at one casino per trip.
• Talk to your host. We can often help with perks you did not even know about.
• Most importantly, play for fun and within your limits.

Bottom line: play smart, be consistent, and let your host handle your reservations. That is how you keep the best casino offers coming.
