What are comp points at a casino?
Last updated:
Comp points (short for complimentary points) are reward credits earned at an online casino based on how much you wager. They accumulate in your account as you play and can be exchanged for bonus cash, free spins, or used to climb through loyalty tiers.
How earning works
Casinos typically assign a set number of comp points per amount wagered. For example, you might earn 1 point for every $10 bet on slots. The earning rate can differ between game types, with slots often earning more points per dollar than table games.
Redeeming comp points
Points are redeemed through your account’s loyalty or rewards section. The conversion rate from points to cash varies between casinos, so it’s worth calculating the effective cashback percentage before committing to a platform. Some programs let you exchange points for real cash while others convert them to bonus funds with wagering requirements attached.
Ben Barber got into the gambling industry through the poker rooms of London in the early 2000s. After building up a solid grounding in casino, sports betting and poker, he made the move to Malta where he spent close to a decade writing for some of the biggest affiliate networks in the region. A few years ago he relocated to Bali, which shifted his focus toward website strategy and affiliate marketing. The casino side never really left, though. He still writes reviews, how-to guides and in-depth pieces on everything from slots and live dealer tables to crypto casinos and sweepstakes sites. His approach is fact-first: help players understand how online gambling actually works before they deposit a cent.
