Finally some respect for Poker players

http://www.wsop.com/news/2012/May/3770/CAESARS-ENTERTAINMENT-PLAYER-LOYALTY-PROGRAM-NOW-INCLUSIVE-OF-WSOP-TOURNAMENTS.html

The article details that WSOP players will now get reward credits for there buy ins. Been a long time coming finally some respect for the poker players and the amount of money we spend at Caesars Resorts!!!!

 

Good call, saves them from handing out vouchers and gives them the option to eat where they want. The fees they take out for the tourneys will easily cover it anyway.

 

Did I read this correctly that they are giving 3,000 credits for the $10,000 buy-in? Unless I'm mistaken that is $30. Doesn't seem overly generous?

Maybe I am missing something, but the rest of the press release is corp-speak BS for benefits that already exist for anyone who signs up for the card and plays.

 

You can make it up in volume.

 

Caesars is the only chain that gives tier comps to poker players (though they cut them significantly in the last year). Also, their $1.00 worth of rewards credits per hour issued directly to the reward card is much simpler than the $1.00 an hour issued at other poker rooms where you must either get a voucher or the comp is applied to the card but is only available to be redeemed at the casino where the comp was earned.

On the other hand, Caesars is the only chain with a $5 max rake instead of $4 or $3, plus the $1 jackpot drop.
