What they have in common
Every one of them is linked to how much you bet. That's how casinos pay for them. None changes the house edge on the games, and none is worth chasing with bigger bets.
Which matter most for a casual player
For someone who plays now and then, rakeback is likely the reward you'll notice most. Reloads and hosts tend to go with higher VIP levels, but your own account is the real answer. The raffle is a lottery ticket on top of normal play.
Checking what you've got
Your account menu is the place to look for VIP progress and anything you can claim. If something you expected isn't there, check the terms, then ask support.
Check your rewards
- Open your account menu and go to the VIP or rewards area.
- Look for anything with a claim button or timer.
- Read the terms linked from each reward.
- Claim what you want, and ignore anything that would push you to bet more.
