If you ever play at a casino with slot machines, you will have to make some decisions to maximize your own benefits. Today, we will discuss loyalty points and the different benefits they offer, because most of the time you have to choose between two good things, and we will explain to you how to make the decision that is most convenient for you.

Many times you will get the option to redeem your loyalty points for cashback or comp points, you can also exchange them for free play. What is the better choice? They are all convenient in different ways and it is a call of judgment that you must make at different times. This is also an important thing to consider when you are choosing a casino to play at. There are some online casinos with loyalty clubs that pay cashback, some others only give comps, and some give you most benefits through the mail.

The truth is that there is no definite answer that will tell you which one to pick, as there is not one benefit scheme that is better overall. You must also be aware that different players have different benefit agendas, so your friends might not be looking for the same things you are. However, there is certainly a group of factors that you can consider when making the decision.

Let us portray a real situation, you have 10,000 loyalty points that you can trade for $20 in cash or $24 in slot machine credits. Most people would say that the rational decision is to take the credits, because even if you spend it all on a slot machine you will only lose about $2.40 and you are still getting to keep most of it. This is also convenient because you don't have to make another deposit to your account and you can just get the money immediately and start playing.

In another situation you could exchange your loyalty points for comp points, and most of the time it is recommendable that you take the cash since the comp points are only valuable to purchase goods made at the casino. However, if you want to buy a hoodie with the casino's logo or some cool product they made, then take the comp points and get your wish for free. It is all about priorities, we will discuss a few more of these scenarios in detail thoughout this week.
