Been digging into casino loyalty programs lately, and I’m starting to question if they’re all they’re cracked up to be. I’ve been experimenting with a few—mostly smaller platforms to test the waters. The cashback deals sound nice on paper, like getting 10-15% back on losses, but the fine print is where it gets tricky. Wagering requirements are often insane, and the "VIP" perks? Half the time, it’s just free spins on slots I wouldn’t touch otherwise. One program I tried gave decent returns at first, but the higher tiers demanded way more play than I could justify. Anyone else crunch the numbers on these? Curious if I’m missing a gem or if it’s mostly smoke and mirrors.
