The Sweepstakes of Loyalty Programs at Casino.com

One of the more recent online casinos to get reviewed here at OCS is the popular Playtech Software powered site, Casino.com. An easy name to remember for sure, one of the reasons Casino.com came to our attention in the first place was because of their newly vamped Loyalty Program. In fact, it is no stretch to say that Casino.com now offers one of the most comprehensive loyalty programs on the internet. Their comp point redemption program is assuredly the best we've seen. There is so much free merchandise offered here, Casino.com comes the closest to a true sweepstakes club an online casino can get.

Like most other casino loyalty programs, Casino.com offers comp points for every real money wager made. In essence, any player who makes a real money wager becomes a member of Casino.com's "Loyalty Lounge". The rate of exchange is better than most online casinos, at 2 points for every $10 wagered. Furthermore, Casino.com offers a monthly rotation of online slots that award 5 points for every $10 wagered.

As points add up, players are given loyalty membership statuses, beginning at "Lobby" status and climbing up eight levels to "Millionaire's Club" status. Rewards increase for each status, and all the while players can redeem comp points for merchandise in Casino.com's Loyalty Shop. Monthly bonus rewards begin at $200 for the Lobby level and climb all the way up to $5,000 per month at the Millionaire's Club level. The lower four levels receive internal withdrawal processing times of 72 hours, while the top four levels receive 48 hour processing times, increased withdrawal/deposit limits, increased table limits and VIP Hospitality. The top two levels of this casino loyalty program receive 24 hour host service.

As for the aforementioned Loyalty Shop, this is where Casino.com transcends into something of a sweepstakes service. Although you must wager money to earn comp points (which most of us are going to do anyways), in essence, all of the merchandise in the loyalty shop is free. Everything from books and golf clubs to flat screen televisions and Porsche sports cars can be purchased with comp points. Of course, you would need to be a high roller to win the Porsche. But then again, it would only take a big jackpot win to help make that a reality as well.

In the grand scheme of things, most all of the merchandise is within reach to the average player. Like the name of the program, "Loyalty Lounge", players are rewarded for their loyalty to Casino.com. The more loyal you are, the more you can cash out.
