Re: [vpFREE] Re: Death by apathy?

 

They say that and if you don't challenge them that is it. Gaming regulators in most states have sided with the players in these disputes more often than the casinos. One time Harrah's in Illinois mistakenly sent $500 offers to people that should have been $5 or something and they would not honor them when they realized the mistake, but Illinois made them honor them to the tune of millions of dollars

Different game, but when playing blackjack as a card counter, one casino barred me but did so very nicely "you're just too good for us" and specifically said that I could keep my comped room as scheduled, but another was more typical in their niceness ("you're done playing blackjack here, don't try to play blackjack here ever again") and specifically told me my comped room was no longer comped effective immediately.

A casino can treat you any way it chooses to do so.  My best strategy when they're NOT being nice is to make a lot of noise about it, so that other customers see how I'm being treated (the customers don't like that kind of treatment, and the casinos don't like having their bad behavior become a public issue).

Bottom line is yes, they can do whatever they want, change the rules as they go, and so on.  Much like the airline frequent flyer programs.

Quite often when a casino locks your PIN it is permanent. Not always but if they deem you undesirable they'll just cancel offers and lock you out.

The casino just asked to reactivate their PIN though. They didn't specifically take away any offers, right? This sounds like a security measure more than anything else

There is a disclaimer on every offer that basically says the casino can do whatever it wants.

Just last week a friend went to Harrah's Philadelphia to pick up a gift card he was offered, but his account was locked so he couldn't log in and claim it. This also has been happening to a number of others both in Philadelphia and Atlantic City.

What do you mean by current?  Generally most gaming regulators are going to make them honor anything they already sent out. If they want to give away a toaster and require 100 points to get the toaster that is fine, if that is the promo. But if they just let you pick up a toaster, I don't think it is OK for them to say "that current free room offer we already sent you is now invalid", because you did not play when you picked up the toaster. It is easy enough for them to put a point requirement in for redemption at the time, casinos do that all the time and then it is straightforward, players are not guessing what the expectation is. A free gift offer is just that free, if it a contingent offer, they need to be explicit what the contingency is even if it is one point,

Caesars has been warning players for months with a sign at the Promotional
Kiosks that redemption without additional play could affect current and
future offers. Slips printed at these kiosks said the same. This should
have been no surprise to anyone.
