To get the most value from your casino visits, especially for those who go regularly, casino loyalty programs are the way to go. For instance, Valley View Casino’s generous Players Club offers free membership and significant perks and rewards for both casual and frequent visitors alike.
It’s important to understand how programs like the Players Club work so that you can make the most of your membership and maximize your rewards. The guide below walks you through the key features of casino loyalty programs, the types of benefits you can expect and tips and strategies to take full advantage of your membership.
Key Features of Casino Loyalty Programs
Casinos reward players for returning again and again by offering various benefits based on play. Most loyalty programs have the following features:
Tiered Structure
Many businesses, casinos included, use a tiered structure loyalty program to reward their customers. Multiple tiers allow members to move up through the program just by playing. The higher the tier, the better the perks.
Point System
Each tier has an equivalent level of points. For example, at Valley View Casino, members who have 100 to 1,999 points are at the starting tier: the Red Card. When they accumulate enough points, 2,000 to 3,999, they move up to the Blue Card level. As the points add up, they advance to the Silver, Gold and Black Card tiers.
Points allow members access to different rewards and benefits (more about this in a moment) that often include things like free slot and table game play or vouchers for meals and hotel stays.
Exclusive Promotions
Some casinos run special weekly promotions that can include drawings for prizes, exclusive gifts, free instant game play and so on. Certain days might be multiplier days for promotional events, where players can accumulate entries faster. Seasonal and holiday promotions are also popular.
What Types of Benefits Can You Expect from Casino Loyalty Programs?
What do members of casino loyalty programs get? Although perks and benefits can vary, they generally include things like:
- Dining perks—Credit to dine at casino restaurants or even complimentary meals
- Hotel accommodations—Complimentary hotel stays
- Priority access—Invitations to VIP events exclusive to program members and priority check-in at casino restaurants and events, which means shorter wait times and a smoother experience
- Free play—Free play credits, which allow members to play without spending their own money
- Transportation perks—Complimentary valet parking, covered self-parking and free electric vehicle charging stations
- Personalized offers—Customized bonuses or promotions, like free play, for certain games based on whether members play slot machines or table games
- Free gifts—Free items like t-shirts, monthly VIP Loyalty Gifts and more
- Birthday bonuses—Bonus free play during your birthday month
- Sign-up bonuses—Instant offers that are available just for joining
Valley View Casino & Hotel offers Players Club members all these benefits and more.
Strategies to Maximize Your Rewards with Casino Loyalty Programs
First, the most important strategy is a simple one: sign up! When you join the Players Club, for instance, you receive over $200 worth of benefits that you can use on your very first visit, including discounts at casino restaurants and gameplay credit.
After that, it’s important to use your Players Club card while you are playing. This ensures you won’t miss out on accumulating points. All slot and table gameplay will give you points that will add up over time.
Make sure you fully understand the structure of the program. Familiarize yourself with each of the tiers and the specific requirements to advance to higher levels. This will help you plan for tier advancement. For instance, when you monitor your points and realize that you’re close to advancing to the next tier, consider planning an additional visit, playing different games with higher point values or visiting during targeted promotions (like point multiplier days) where you can earn more points quickly.
Stay informed. When you follow your casino on social media and subscribe to emails and newsletters, you will always know about promotions, bonuses and special offers. Staying up-to-date can help you quickly take advantage of time-sensitive opportunities you might otherwise miss.
Participate in special events. If your casino holds an exclusive tournament or member events that offer bonus points or prizes, take advantage and join in the fun.
Use your rewards. You’ve earned your way to the tier you currently qualify for, so take advantage of it! Enjoy the benefits most rewarding to you.
