I RSVP'd for a free march madness viewing party at a downtown property. I had to give my players card info. Guests check in when they arrive and receive a couple items, along with a match play chip. I'm not planning to do much additional gambling while I'm there, really just want to watch the games for a bit and play the free play before leaving. Anyone know if they consider this a gaming day that would affect my ADT? I can't recall if they require a players card when using the match play chip but would be easy enough to have a friend play that through for me.
Probably. Your account is associated with the match play offer, so they know you were there. If it's a physical chip, then they probably don't track whether you actually ended up using it, but it probably doesn't matter, the whole point of it is to get you to play, not to give you a present. If the match play is a voucher with a bar code on it, then it's trackable that you used it.
The answer is probably. The party likely counts as a comp. they give comps to these parties to entice you to their property to play. Not just out of the kindness of their heart.
Unless they have very poor tracking systems, or very poor policy, I am going to say it will show as a trip/visit. It have just about nothing to do with the chip or voucher being used. Once they swipe your card when you register, you are now on-site. They begin tracking your play, or lack thereof. I doubt that giving your card info in advance will cause anything.
You are already in the system when you check in, so AFAIK, yes, each of your days will count as a gaming day.
One side note - it's not an invitation-only event, it's an event open to the public to view the basketball games in a designated are. Your card is not required to enter. You do show Id to claim the match play chip.
