When you open an account with an online casino you will automatically be enrolled in their loyalty programme. In certain cases, you might need to opt-in. Loyalty programs are usually tiered schemes that offer bigger prizes the higher up the levels you climb. Depending on how much you wager and play you will climb through the rankings. VIP programs usually require an invitation and are triggered once a player spends a certain amount of money. They are usually closed programs as opposed to a loyalty program that is available to any customer.
