Casino loyalty point programs
Entities: One Casino NZ · Alex Dreyfus · Codere · Bet365 · Winboost Casino
Overview
In late July 2026, analysts noted that several online gambling operators’ loyalty point schemes delivered very low conversion rates and required extremely high betting volumes before any cash value could be redeemed. Examples such as Bet365, Codere and 888casino showed that points accrued were worth only a fraction of a wager and often expired after 180 days, drawing criticism for being financially unattractive to most players.
By early August 2026, coverage shifted to how these loyalty programs are being promoted as tools for player retention. Operators in New Zealand and Jamaica were highlighted for offering tiered status, points and transparent cashback (e.g., a 10 % weekly cashback on net losses) while operating under licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, underscoring regulatory oversight of offshore iGaming services.
