Hey Gang
I would like to share a little experience over the past few days which really surprised me (in fact, Im a little shocked).
My policy with playing casinos is if I have cash, then I'll play what I can afford, and if I dont have any spare funds, I just dont play. Simple as that. I dont hassle my fav casinos for a freebie etc - I just play again when I can afford it.
That being said, Im unusually low on funds for a while due to a family situation, so I decided now was the time to email a few of my favorite haunts and see if they would throw me a little something so I can play (I have never done this before in 5 years).
So, I sent out emails to 10 casinos (4 in the same group so its only 7 I guess) just pointing out my long association and that I was low on funds, and would they mind throwing me a lifeline to have a bit of a play. No amount stipulated - very polite - and I was pretty confident I would get $10 or something from all of them (hell even $5 would have been cool).
Here are the results of my emails:
7 flat-out said "NO" (although one said 'we cant because there is a 30% cashback deal on with slots the next 48 hours so all you need to do to get free cash is make a deposit' - kinda defeats the purpose eh?)
2 didnt bother to respond at all (I did get read receipts tho)
1 sent me a really nice email saying they are glad to give me a few bucks considering I never ask (they were VERY generous too)
Im not going to say who all the casinos were, EXCEPT for the one who actually showed they value my business, and that casino is
Well it just shows who cares about their players, and given their reputation it doesnt surprise me that they came to the party.
I dont deposit $10k a week or anything, but I am consistent and loyal - which dont count a can o' beans it seems.
Given Im not usually in this situation, it has been a real eye-opener and you dont have to be Einstein to work out where Im going to be heading for when I get some funds.
A BIG thanks to 32Red for seeing past the end of their noses
