How Hosts Evaluate Value (ADT & Theo)

Most programs score your worth via Theoretical Loss (Theo) and Average Daily Theoretical (ADT). In short: average bet × decisions/hour × house edge × hours, averaged per day. Hosts advocate best when your data is clean: consistent bet sizes, 2–4 hour sessions, and confirmed table ratings. Neutral primers: Casino.org, CDC Gaming Reports.

When to Ask (Timing & Script)

Approach a host after a complete day of play:

“Hi, I’ve been playing [game] at an average of [$X] for about [Y] hours today/yesterday. Could you confirm my rating and let me know what offers are available?”

Choosing Brands for VIP Rewards

  • Carnival — accessible bounce-backs for steady slots/VP.
  • Royal Caribbean — strong for consistent table play.
  • MSC — status match + steady slots can reach balcony value.
  • Celebrity — premium touches for mid-tier consistency.
  • Virgin Voyages — boutique comps for consistent tables.

Structure That Unlocks Luxury Perks

  • Card in, always — slots and tables.
  • Concentrate play into 2–4 hour blocks.
  • Keep averages predictable.
  • Confirm table ratings before leaving.

Illustrative Outcomes (What Players Report)

  • $2–$3/spin slots, 3 hrs/day: drink perks + discounted interior.
  • $25–$50 blackjack, 3–4 hrs/day: balcony discounts/comp.
  • $100+ average: balcony comps, suite offers, VIP invites.
