Flip The Switch

A consistent theme of online casinos is they’re usually partnered with a physical casino in the same state. There are some practical reasons for this, such as how licensing works in each state, but this structure can also mean that your play online can have an impact on in-person casino visits.
In this article we share some of the things you can gain while playing online casinos, benefitting you when you make your next in-person casino visit. But it’s worth noting that for these companies, most of the same attributes are true when making sports bets online as well!
<h2>Tier Credits</h2>
Multiple online casinos have ties to physical casinos. The most prominent of these are BetMGM Casino, linked to MGM Resorts with properties nationwide, and Caesars Palace Online Casino, which is linked to a network of Caesars-owned properties nationwide under a variety of brands including Caesars, Horseshoe, and Harrah’s. Both have a presence in a variety of markets, most prominently Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
When you play on their online casinos and have linked your player's card accounts, you will earn tier credits based on your play. Those tier credits help increase your tier status the same way playing in a physical casino does. Because online casinos have higher payouts, you don’t earn tier credits as quickly, but the fact that your play from both in-person and online gambling can be pooled is helpful.
For both programs, higher-tier credit earnings can move you into a higher tier. Those tiers can come with a variety of perks, whether it be room upgrades, line cutting, or gift shop discounts. But both programs once you get to the higher tiers also offer more valuable hard comps such as celebration dinner credits and even airfare reimbursement.
There are other online casinos that can offer you these benefits. For instance, FanDuel’s casino partners sometimes award tier credits for your online play, but it will depend on the state and the casino. DraftKings has also begun to dabble with this, despite having their own casino loyalty program.
<h2>Comp Dollars</h2>
Similarly, many of the online programs allow you to earn comp dollars. In some cases, they’re limited to online casinos, but over time more of them are offering the ability to redeem in casinos or beyond.
For instance, Caesars Palace Online Casino allows you to earn Reward Credits, which go to the same bucket as those earned in person. Reward Credits can then be redeemed either online or in person, giving players more flexibility over where their earned comps can be utilized.
BetMGM Casino offers BetMGM Reward Points, which can be used online. However, they can also be converted to MGM Reward Points, which are the ones available to use in casinos. You can also convert them to Marriott Bonvoy points as part of their partnership with Marriott.
Once again, FanDuel’s partnerships with physical casinos can vary by state, so it helps to see if your play will reward you with comp dollars that can be redeemed in person.
<h2>Cross Promotional Perks</h2>
If you haven’t visited physical casino properties, you may sometimes qualify for in-person visit comps as a result of your online play. Other opportunities could be invites to shows or special events, particularly if you’re a high roller.
But it can also be simpler scenarios. BetMGM is offering a program in Michigan as of this article’s publication, for example, where if you play online and visit one of MGM’s Las Vegas properties, you’ll get 2,000 BetMGM Reward Points. If you choose to convert those to MGM Reward Points, that’s $25 in additional comps that you can use for food, the spa, show tickets, and other experiences in person.
When you browse the Promotions section of the app, be sure to check for any in-person options as well, as you don’t want to leave money on the table if you’re planning an in-person casino trip!
