do we expect too many freebies from casinos?

[Nate]

One thing to also bare in mind is that NOTHING is free. Casinos will offer Free Chips and Bonuses IF you have spent the money.

Money will also be spent as 'An Investment' to try and lure you back for repeated business. The Online outfits' offers (Most of them) fail miserably in comparison to B&M Casinos.

No - I do not think that 'We expect too may freebies' - We spend money, and it must be recognised. It is in some places, better than others but then again some places expect you to feed them and you should ask for nothing in return - That's where my patronage to them stops.

I agree. The casinos where I play are quite good (even outstanding) in terms of accommodating me from time to time.

There was one casino I played at where, I asked for a chip one time (and my only time); the rep said, "just use play chips". I uninstalled. It's not like there aren't other places that will do me a favor once in a while, or even if they can't, they refuse but politely and respectfully. I can lose my money to those who appreciate it. I know that sounds kind of backwards, almost Orwellian (that a business doesn't appreciate that I give them my money), but that's the state of online gaming amongst the lesser outfits.

cant say ive ever asked a casino for a chip..perhaps thats where i go wrong lol....

I ask all the time. When I am comped - Expect more deposits from me.

Nothing wrong with asking - If you don't ask, you don't get.

I was looking through my numbers for the year, and it's obvious that being a big spender or high roller does not guarantee that the casino will give you any special holiday comps in return. And I can't say I'm surprised. The casinos that do take care of players at Christmas are usually the same ones that take care of you for the rest of the year as well.
I mean just look at the casino rep activity over the holidays. Some of them have been working round the clock to make sure every player is happy! Others signed out before the holidays, and probably won't be back until new years.
Blissfully unaware of what's important for most players at the end of the year lol.

I agree with Nate, there is nothing for free. A freebies are a way to show how you appreciate your customers esp those big ones.
So in return, they will continue giving business.

This year, there are at least 2 MG casinos should give me some big bonus but they did not.
That is fine for me, so will be my activity on their sites next year. Nothing...

I believe we shall all do the same thing.

Otherwise, they will take our business as granted.

Just my 2 cents


Cheers
