The VIP Section.
This is our section for VIP players, otherwise know as High Rollers or High Stakes Players.
What makes a High Roller? Well, that depends on the casino, but interestingly enough around 80% of the turnover in a typical online casino comes from around 20% of the players- those High Roller and VIP players.
The big players make a sizeable chunk of the total amount of betting going on, so it should come as no surprise that VIP players have access to promotions and perks that leave the standard promotional offers in the shade. If you are a high stakes player, we´ll be detailing some of the best offers available to UK VIPs in this section. And if you are not? Well, it´s always interesting to have a nose around!
What Makes a High Roller? How Much Do You Need to Bet to Become a VIP?
A High Roller bets High Stakes at High Limit Tables. But what is the definition of "High" in this case? Well, casinos tend to categorise players into types of High Rollers. Land based casinos will tend have much higher limits than online casinos. That´s changing, of course, as online casinos catch up with their counterparts in Vegas, Macau and Monaco.
Land Based Casinos- Categories of VIP Casino Players
VIP players come in many shapes and sizes. There are whales, Premium players and "standard" VIPs or "Very Important Players".
A Whale is a player who bets at least $1 million in a session. There´s probably less than 500 of these individuals in the world: they are super high net worth individuals (billionaires) who have some serious money to throw around. These VIPs can bet anything from $100,000 and up on a single hand or spin. Their credit lines will be in the tens of millions. Notice that the numbers are in US dollars. Most of these top players play with the world´s reserve currency.
A Premium Player can bet from $100,000 to $250,000 on a visit,betting around $10,000 a go.
VIP players will play with a pot numbering in the tens of millions.
Online Casino VIP Players
The figures for online VIPs are somewhat lower, purely due to the difficulty in transacting these kinds of amounts online, but they are catching up fast. A High Roller online will certainly be betting tens of thousands of pounds monthly, and could be sitting on a playing pot of £250,000. But if you are playing with £2000 and up online, you´ll be contacted by the VIP department. Just remember- there are always different tiers to these programs though. They are a bit like airline loyalty schemes.
It´s easy to get carried away with these numbers. Just remember, to only bet what you can afford to lose. It´s fine to throw around this kind of money if you are a billionaire or millionaire. Keep your feet on the ground while you are playing and set yourself an "entertainment" budget.
