How to keep track of points and use them wisely

Introduction

The system of comp points and cashback in VIP casino programs is one of the main ways to return some of the losses and get additional bonuses. But without clear accounting, you run the risk of missing important conversions, overstaying points or missing out on benefits due to inefficient spending. In this article, we will analyze the whole process in detail: how to organize accounting, what indicators to record, how to analyze efficiency and make optimal decisions.

1. Why keep track of points

Validity period monitoring

Many points and bonuses have a limited period - from 30 to 90 days. Without a reminder system, you can easily lose them.

Transparency of conversion

Different casinos convert comp points into money at rates ranging from 100:1 to 300:1. Accounting helps to compare where the program is more profitable.

ROI optimization

By knowing your average rates and return rate (RTP) in specific games, you can calculate the net benefit of each point earned.

Making informed decisions

When a sufficient stock of points is accumulated, it is easy to choose the optimal moment for conversion - for example, at the time of a promotion with an increased exchange rate or increased cashback.

2. Accounting system setup: simple table

2. 1. Tool selection

Spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Excel)

Convenient for sharing and automating calculations.

Specialized applications

If you use more than one casino, consider Bet Tracker or simple widget boards.

Notebook or Journal

Suitable for those who prefer paper records, but have to manually monitor the timing and courses.

2. 2. Basic table fields

3. Automate reminders

1. Calendar notifications

Create an event in your Google Calendar or smartphone for the expiry date of your points 7 days before.

2. Scripts in tables

Use conditional formatting in Google Sheets: if 'TODAY () ≥ Expiration date is 7', highlight the line.

3. Push notifications from apps

If you're using a betting tracker, set up reminders for conversion or minimum rates to extend your term.

4. Performance Analysis: Key Metrics

Points per 1 AUD bid

Net ROI from points

Payback Period

Average conversion time

Measure how many days, on average, you keep your points before sharing - this will help optimize your withdrawal points.

5. Management strategies

5. 1. Selection of games with high comp factor

Compare different genres: AWP slots often score higher than Live games.

Pay attention to promotions: sometimes providers double accruals in certain games.

5. 2. Synchronize with casino promotions

Convert points on days when there is a "cashback bonus" (for example, + 10% to the withdrawal amount).

Use deposits with win-win bonuses to scroll through the risk-free portion of points.

5. 3. Minimizing the wager

If the exchange rate is better when converting points through a bonus, compare the overall vager. Sometimes it is more profitable to remove "naked" points than to beat them with a multiplier × 20- × 30.

5. 4. Portion exchange

Do not convert all points at once: partial conversion allows you to keep a "margin" in case of sudden promotions.

Conclusion

System accounting of comp points and cashback is the key to maximum benefit from VIP casino programs. A well-tuned spreadsheet, automatic reminders and regular analysis of key metrics will allow you not to miss deadlines, choose the best moments for conversion and make decisions based on clear data, and not "by eye." Implement the proposed accounting model and adapt it to your style of play - and your points will start working more efficiently.
