Always find out the odds and % payouts for each ticket and for each landbased casino and/or online casino.  An online casino is typically easier as this will be displayed on their websites or you can email customer service. Just make sure whichever casino you contact, tell them you are considering trying another casino and theirs has been recommended. Be prepared with a name of a competitor, preferably their direct competitor. This will give them a bit more incentive to answer your questions. Don't forget to ask for the comps (land-based casino) available or deposit bonuses/promotions (online casino).

Note: most online casinos have lower payout odds than land-based since they do not have the overhead.

Sign up for a Player's Club Card/Frequent Players Club/VIP Loyalty Card (all the same) and find out the different comps, the casinos involved (typically there will be a 'family' of casinos you can gain/redeem points). Carry this card on you always! Online they will typically keep track, however we recommend you keep track, review and keep weekly screen shots. You've earned them, you keep them.

Ask for everything - the casino's philosophy is, if you don't ask you won't get! Think "Sweaky Wheel"!

Pick a Casino or Family of Casinos and don't stray. If you spread yourself thin you will not receive the cumulative comps! Both online casinos and land-based casinos typically offer a family of casinos you can play at! Only play at the casinos on your loyalty card but say you play at different ones!

Both online and land-based casinos will offer bonuses for playing or opportunities to get extra points. If you need any of these items from partners or want to take advantage of the bonuses, make sure you understand the rules. Online bonuses are typically very generous (better than what you would get in any land-based casino), however there are always restrictions and rules. As long as you understand them, then you will thorougly enjoy your experience.

Yes.. this is a hard one. When playing at an online casino it's no problem. But when playing at a land-based casino in Las Vegas, it becomes very tempting to order a FREE drink while playing. We suggest you schedule your playing time typically when you are NOT drinking or for some people they feel a certain amount of alcohol helps them to make better choices. Make sure you know yourself and decide whether you REALLY want to make money or just have fun! If you feel pressure to drink, order a club soda and lime - this easily passes for a gin & tonic!
