Casino Loyalty Programs
Program-by-program guides with the earn math up front. Every page pre-loads its base rates into our comp calculator so you can price your own play, and override any rate your host quotes you.
Last reviewed: July 2026
Land-based programs
- Caesars Rewards: The biggest loyalty network in the country; one card, 50+ casinos, plus the famous tier ladder to Diamond. Rates as of July 2026.
- MGM Rewards: The Strip's other giant: slot points, express comps, and tier credits that unlock resort-wide perks. Rates as of July 2026.
- Boyd B Connected: Boyd's locals-focused program: regional properties that often give back a richer share of play than the Strip. Rates as of July 2026.
Cruise ship programs
All eight major lines, each graded by what the cruise line actually publishes. Five have working tier calculators; three publish no earn rate at all, and say so on their page rather than guess. Compare all eight side by side →
- Royal Caribbean: Club Royale: 1 point per $5 of slot coin-in. The only line that publishes its instant-certificate ladder; the flyer is the source of truth. See the published certificate chart → As of July 2026.
- Celebrity Cruises: Blue Chip Club: 1 point per $5 of slot coin-in. Publishes its full 12-rung instant-certificate ladder as monthly PDFs, including the FreePlay bonus attached to each certificate, which its own website no longer displays. See the published certificate chart → As of August 2026.
- Carnival: Players Club: 1 point per $2 of slot coin-in. The richest slot earn rate at sea, 1 point per $2, and from 1 Sept 2026 casino points convert 1:1 into Status Qualifying Stars. As of July 2026.
- Norwegian (NCL): Casinos At Sea: 1 point per $5 of slot coin-in. One program across three brands (Norwegian, Oceania and Regent Seven Seas) with points transferable ship to ship. As of July 2026.
- Virgin Voyages: Sea Roller Rewards: 1 point per $5 of slot coin-in (reported, not confirmed by the line). Will match a competitor's casino offer: upload it and they try to beat it. As of July 2026.
- MSC Cruises: Signature Player Rewards: no published earn rate or tier ladder. MSC states plainly that a comp cruise carries NO taxes or fees. Royal Caribbean and Celebrity both make you pay them. As of July 2026.
- Holland America: Players Club: 1 point per $2 of slot coin-in. Publishes its earn rate plainly (1 point per $2 on slots, per $5 on video poker) and then says nothing at all about what those points buy. No tier thresholds, no certificate chart. As of August 2026.
- Princess Cruises: Players Advantage: 1 point per $2 of slot coin-in (reported, not confirmed by the line). Publishes a complete certificate chart but has no tier ladder at all, Princess's own FAQ says Prestige 'is not a status'. It does offer a tier match, and enrolment is automatic via the Medallion. See the published certificate chart → As of July 2026.
Online casino programs
- Stake.us, VIP Club, 15 levels, rakeback from 10% to 20%+ of the house edge, and a level-up award at every rung. Weekly and monthly bonuses are priced off losses and published nowhere, so the calculator asks for yours. As of July 2026.
On the roadmap: Wynn Rewards, Venetian Rewards, Station Casinos Boarding Pass, and Penn mychoice; plus more online casino reward programs priced with the same theo math.
Program rates are illustrative base rates, dated per page. They exclude tier multipliers and promotions, and vary by property: always verify at the player's club. See Casino Comps, Explained for how the earning actually works.
