What's your thoughts on VIP Programs in casinos?

[uneng]

1. Is the VIP program important to you when choosing a casino?

No, not anymore, because I'm not a whale gambler, and VIP programs are destinated to wealthy players.

2. Do you use the benefits of the VIP program consciously (i.e. check the requirements for level up, check level up rewards, etc.)?

I used to check requirements and rewards in the past, but I couldn't manage increasing my rank in a solid way. It ended that I was losing too much money for potential rewards which wouldn't pay the "investment" made in counterpart. Then I understood gamblers shouldn't play focused in levelling up their accounts to access VIP status. It has to happen naturally, as you play progressively as usual. And if it never happens, that is ok too. It just means you aren't a big gambler.

3. What information about the VIP program are you most interested in? What do you pay attention to when deciding whether to participate in the VIP program?

The informations I most payed attention to were the benefits. Raised cashback, free spins, special promotions... These are the features which really matter for me, but after a while you conclude there is no point in looking for them, as the casino will always configure it in a way you aren't able to really take advantage of them. You are still going to lose on long run, additionally placing huge bets to justify your participation in a VIP program.

I don't know what it's like to be a VIP in a casino, so I don't know what benefits a VIP member gets. Perhaps they get certain prizes as a form of attention from the casino towards its VIP members. But it depends on the casino too.

Until now, I have not tried to pursue VIP membership at any casino and just tried to enjoy my free time by gambling. Moreover, I don't gamble too often, so it's not something I need. But I think playing gambling as usual can get me a VIP membership one day. So it's not a problem for me.

Reaching out on a certain wager amount could possibly be able to hit up vip ranks but of course the perks and benefits would be much more into those higher levels compared to lower ones on which it is really that understandable. Just like on what people been saying on here is that its never been that easy to reach up these ranks and it would be just that better that you shouldnt really be that too mindful on reaching out these ranks because we do know that once you do trying out to pursue these levels or status then it would really be just that making you that impulsive
on which this is one of the common methods on where people would really be that playing more just because they are trying out to reach up these VIP levels.

For people who often complain about the service and comfort provided by the casino, then in the VIP program you must become a VIP member and follow the program. Because those who are part of the VIP program will be treated preferentially. Because for casino owners, people who take part in the VIP program are their honored guests. Moreover, if you join the VVIP program, then there is no doubt about the service and comfort they provide to you.

But even so, I didn't follow the program, considering that I rarely visit gambling sites. And I also only play at certain times. Because I'm still busy with work, assignments and several other activities that I can't leave behind, just to gamble.

[OgNasty]

I don't follow along with various programs enough to be able to take advantage of them.  For example, I always hear people talking about Stake's monthly bonuses, etc...  I think I've only remembered to claim once ever and I can't even recall what the amount was, so for me bonuses of any kind are just kind of there...  It wouldn't get me to use a different casino and I don't even bother to check them.  I think people should focus on the gaming experience and less on the frills that are meant to keep you playing to try and win money.

Bonuses are not a big deal for those who want to enjoy gambling, their aim is only to enjoy gambling, so they don't care about vip level or any other profitable aspects, they just use gambling as a fun place and enjoy gambling. I personally don't think vip label is necessary for me because I gamble only for fun and I have no intention or desire to get rich from gambling.  So I don't care vip level

That's great to hear mate. How I wish all gamblers are like this, that don't prioritize win over happiness. Although to win a profit can still give them a happiness, but I'm not referring to that. If only all are like that, we won't have a problem gamblers and we won't see a lot of topics in the forum about gambling addiction.

Maybe you don't have the intention to get rich in gambling, but I'm sure you have an intention to get rich through working, business, investing, and others. Because, being rich can mean that we can now worry less and we can now solve a lot of existing problems. It may still be difficult to achieve even outside gambling.

Both of you mentioning getting rich with regards to VIP programs makes me wonder what I’m leaving on the table. Are VIP programs really lucrative enough to make a big difference? I’ve never wagered enough to get a big cut I guess or a big clawback. There’s been some times when I’ve wagered a lot over time on low risk Plinko though so who knows.

Yep, those special offers for VIP customers are the reason I think I would like many people to prioritize using an online gambling platform.
I remember receiving a lot of promotions on a gambling platform, and even special benefits that regular customers could not use. It is always a priority to say that for VIPs, and if possible, I think most people's gambling process has accounts for them that receive those ratings.

I remember there were events where I had to be honest that I only participated because of VIP to receive preferential rights, there were things that really had to be experienced to fully describe the generosity of the platforms.

They would really be prioritize and just we do all know that they are the ones who do give out good revenue into their business on which it is really just that right that they would really be giving out that kind of priority into those players who are spending up that big and this is why these VIP levels or rankings is really that molded or created for that sake. Anyone who are really spending tons of money on gambling platform then it would really be just that normal that they would be giving out those kind of compensations and rakebacks/lossbacks just to ease out that kind of frustration on the time that they would be losing or giving up some thing back on the money that they had totally spent on which this is some sort of trying out to making them stay on which this had been their main motive in the first place on how they would be making
people do stay.

It isn't easy to reach a VIP lvl that means something, I think we are talking about millions in wagering here. So I don't think about VIP programs that much, but I like it when there is a loyalty program where we get at least something with leveling up. It's nice when we can unlock some benefits as we wager, it's never something special, but it's a nice addition.

Casinos need to have different features, it's what attracts us players to register and stay there. I guess we would all love to see higher returns for us players, but the truth is that it all comes down to wagering, those who wager more will have more benefits.

[Hispo]

I am okey with VIP programs in gambling personally. I am such a big gambler, rather a casual gambler so to me those programs are not a deal-breaker when comes to whether joining a new casino or not. 
Though, I can understand to many people who are more experimented and gamble very often, then the casino having or not a VIP program for them to distribute benefits to those you reach certain levels.

Anyways, I have personally signed up to some casinos before which did not have a VIP program and yet I could have some good time there, even though VIP programs seem to be a standard for big casinos, specially those who seek to encourage people to gamble more.
That is just my personal opinion, as usual. 

[Weawant]

VIP programs comes with benefits that you wouldn't be able to access as a regular customer so it becomes something different and Worth giving a trial because if you are just a regular customer you are definitely not receiving these preference except you agree to being their VIP programs.

The benefits could include special bonuses which allows them stake higher than they would have with the funds they already had. But then a few disadvantages comes with that vip casino program and if you are ready to bear the cost then you can join because they usually have a limited amount you can stake as a gambler and you don't stake below such minimum as it's part of the requirements to staying in the VIp. Their payouts are usually processed even fast than the regular customer.

Greetings to all forum users!

Yes the VIP program is important to me because there are many bonus offers from the VIP level. Yes, I checked the terms and conditions for increasing the VIP level and several times I chased the VIP level to get a bonus, but often I just played normally and didn't care about the VIP level, I considered it as another bonus, the main point was to play and hope to win from the game. I once chased the VIP level and spent a lot of money, I chased it because I was chasing the bonus offered but I made a mistake in calculating so I spent more money just to increase the VIP level but it turned out the bonus wasn't as big as I expected, I think that's pretty crazy to me

[dothebeats]

I'm not really into VIP programs in casinos. I feel like the rewards structure with these VIP programs are simply not worth it to chase especially if you are not a frequent gambler. For those frequent gamblers though, it might be something that could help them squeeze extra gambling hours just by playing the game consistently. Idk, it just fees a trap for me to chase for those small perks and rewards.

[samcrypto]

Yes, even if I'm not a VIP on every casino I am playing. Depending on how you treat it, having a VIP status is some kind of achievement or sometimes milestones in our gambling career. Also, it benefits all of the VIP by having bonuses given by the casino and some perks along side with it, why would anyone won't like that. Having a VIP is something that you can boast for especially if the VIP status is so much harder to get, it is sometimes the status that people want  .

Having this program is a big win for the site as they can attract more big players and that means big money.
I'm not a VIP but I'm ok to have this kind of feature in the site since its not increasing your chance to win but its a perks that you can get when you gamble on their site. imagine if there's a lot of big players in the site, that can give a good cash liquidity and it can also benefit small time gamblers.

[sunsilk]

With VIP programs, the bonuses and eligibility for such programs are just a bonus. What matters to me in being like that is about the treatment of the casino.

You won't be called VIP for no reason, do you?

They have a different treatment from the regular customers to the VIP customers and that's the essence for me for being part of the VIP program. When I have concerns, they'll address and solve the issue quickly.

[redsun114]

Imho having a vip program in a casino is a must. Of course each gambler loves and deserves an individual approach towards his person, but there are people who contribute more and deserve a little bit more than others.

Yeah, having a VIP program is a must for any casino.

I think there are 2 types of VIP programs and I'll give examples for both.

1- Wager-Based Rewards - A good example is stake, where the level-up bonus amounts are fixed and doesn't matter if you lost or won a million dollars, the level-up reward remains the same. Of course, you can get a higher reload and other bonuses but the level up bonus is the same and strictly based on your wager.

2- Wager + loss/profit Rewards - Sportsbetio is a good example of this, I remember getting a good amount from the clubhouse when I lost a big amount while reaching the next rank. But later when I won and reached the next level, the level up prize wants that good or even close.

It depends on whether you are more of a wagering person or you are just going to lose more and based on that you select the casino .

One thing about being a VIP is that, the casino dealer that will handle you is one of the best employee of the casino company and most of them are the company's best pick. That's why they will be having an additional pay if they handled VIP's and it's a priviledge for them to have those VIP because they will get another bonus or tip from them.

[Blitzboy]

Although it's not my main criteria for choosing a casino, the VIP program is attractive. Like an exclusive club, you're always curious what's inside, even if you dont go. The psychology behind the carrot-on-a-stick scenario is fascinating, but is it worth the chase?

I view VIP program advantages like a scavenger hunt - aware but not invested. I check over level-up criteria and incentives, but I'm more interested in playing than getting VIP status.

Unique experiences attract me most in VIP programs. Not only the money, but the tale you tell. I consider these programs as fascinating sideshows rather than the main event due to my casual gambling approach. The main draw for me? VIPs' incredible experiences sound like a movie!

It's having the best customers and handling them with the best customer experience that they can also give to the VIPs. As they are bringing in a lot of money, they deserve the treatment that they need to be given as special customers.

That's it on my part.

If I'll be a VIP of a casino, that's what I am expecting from them and with every concern, I expect expedite response from them.

To reach VIP rank, of course, you need a certain amount of bets, which is what differentiates VIP members from ordinary members. The amount of money used will also be very different, so not many people can reach the VIP level or even above. Only people who can use a lot of money to gamble can afford to gamble with a lot of money and reach the VIP level. Rather than being impulsive, it is better for us always to be careful in spending money on gambling so that we can use gambling as entertainment and not reach a certain membership level. If you feel you cannot afford to spend a lot of money, it is better to gamble like other people where they can experience the pleasure of gambling.

Why don't you like it because as time goes by, if you only play or bet on one gambling site then it is clear that you will definitely get the VIP level, and you cannot refuse it because it is included in the system on the gambling site.
If you say whether it is worth it or not, the VIP level bonus is not worth it because the amount will be much smaller than the money spent, but this is return to customers that can be claimed every week and every month.
Moreover, pursuing VIP rank is also not recommended if you don't have the financial means to pursue it, but as I said, over time we can get it and of course there is no need to chase it.

Moreover, VIP programs are not all based on the bet amount and require betting more often to increase it because there are several gambling sites that have VIP program which calculates the increase using the deposit amount.

Well, that's what I am expected too If i were a VIP so that I can somehow get the most out of the membership I paid for being a VIP. I also want that kind of expedite and special assistance if I'm the one who gambles, Plus the benefits and priviledge that I can get. if I'm rich and can afford to pay the membership fee, I'll definitely be a VIP too, who wouldn't want that, right?
