Every major casino, whether online or a massive physical resort, operates a highly structured loyalty program.

These programs are not designed as charities; they are brilliant marketing tools engineered to ensure you never play at a competitor’s site.

Understanding Points vs. Tier Credits

Reward Points act like a digital currency; you spend them to buy free slot play, buffet dinners, or branded merchandise.

You earn Tier Credits exclusively based on your ‘Coin-In’ (the total amount of money you wager), regardless of whether you win or lose.

• Never confuse your win/loss record with your Tier progress; a player who loses $100 quickly will have fewer credits than a player who grinds $100 all day
• Casinos often run ‘Tier Credit Multiplier Days’ (e.g., 5x points on Tuesdays) to drive massive foot traffic during traditionally slow mid-week periods
• The lowest entry-level tier is usually completely worthless, offering absolutely no tangible benefits beyond a piece of plastic

What Do You Actually Get as a VIP?

The most highly sought-after mid-tier perk at Vegas resorts is the complete waiver of mandatory daily resort fees.

Reaching the absolute highest tiers (Diamond, Seven Stars, or Black Card) unlocks a world of extreme, unbridled luxury.

A smart gambler views a VIP program as a pleasant secondary rebate, not the primary reason for placing a bet.
