Do online casino loyalty programs pay off?

Played in several online casinos, and all of them have been pushing their loyalty or VIP programs. Are these really worth joining, or is this some other gimmick to keep you playing?

It depends. If you play on a somewhat regular schedule, they can be. Some of them have decent cashback or free spins, but if you are a casual player, you probably aren't going to rack up enough points to make it worth your time.

I signed up with one of those once: VIP programs, or whatever they are called. It's nice, I guess-things like priority withdrawals, a personal account manager-but honestly, it just got me to spend more cash to stay in that program. Gotta watch that.

The only one I ever found useful was at a poker site. Got free tourney tickets and some extra rakeback that added up over time. But yeah, it's definitely designed to keep you playing, so don't let it suck you in.

I mean, I adore those loyalty programs that just give you these random little bonuses, you know, like $5 credits and free spins for literally doing very little. However, when it requires you to spend an arm and a leg, then that is most definitely not for me.

That's kinda what I figured. They sound great on paper, but I don't want to be spending more just to have a $10 reward, lol. Thanks for all the advice, y'all!

Pro tip: always check the T&Cs. Some programs have insane requirements to actually get cashback or rewards, such as wagering 20x before you can even use them. If it's too much hassle, skip it.

Some casinos do weekly promos for loyalty members, either leaderboard challenges or extra rewards on deposits. Those can be fun if you're already planning to play, but just don't chase the points-it's a trap.
