How to get a casino host to comp you?
The winning formula: keep a clean ADT, concentrate your play, and make a request a host can defend. If you want a written offer (room, resort fees off, dining, or a comped casino cruise), send your recent offers and rated play through the Get Comped form or contact a VIP Executive Casino Host.
What hosts look at (so you can stack the odds)
- Theo = time × average bet/coin-in × game edge; comps are a slice of theo.
- ADT (average daily theo) drives offers—avoid lots of tiny rated sessions that crush the daily average.
- Recency & concentration: two focused days at one property beat scattered play across five.
5-minute setup before you ask
- Rate every session with your club card—no untracked play.
- Choose a single property per day to keep ADT clean.
- Know your numbers: hours, average bet/coin-in, recent comps.
- Gather proof (screenshots/letters) and use Ask the Casino Host to package it.
- Decide the goal: room + resort fees + coffee-shop dining, or push value into a comped cruise line that comps best.
How to ask (scripts that get approved)
Before the trip: “I’m ~$<ADT> ADT over two days. If I book Fri–Sun and keep that play, can you comp the room and coffee-shop level dining?”
Mid-trip: “I’ve logged X hours at $Y average. If I extend two hours at this pace, can you remove resort fees and add a dining comp?”
Back-end review: “Could you review my trip for back-end comps? If theo supports it, please take off the dining charges and resort fees.”
Smart trade-offs (when you’re borderline)
- Ask for defensible value: room + resort fees + coffee-shop dining beats a large free-play ask.
- Keep time-in-seat blocks solid; fragmented sessions rate worse.
- Save some incentives for checkout; burning everything mid-trip can reduce back-end take-offs.
Turn land play into a comped cruise
Rated land play can unlock cabins and OBC. Tell us ports/dates and we’ll route your profile to cruise lines with the best casino comps, then scan Upcoming Cruise Comps for windows that over-comp your level. You’ll receive email/letter confirmation before you sail.
