For an online casino, the player is the most valuable factor. Players are the ingredients which make online casinos go around. This basic notion drives online casinos to fit their different offerings for a wide range of players. From those who like a little slots action here and there to experienced roulette, poker or blackjack veterans, online casinos are welcoming for everyone, usually offering bonuses tailored for each and every player type. Comp Points – Rewarding the Players In this frame of thought, most online casinos offer their players with complimentary points which are better known in the online casino jargon simply as "comp points". Apart from the many bonuses offered by online casinos, this is a way in which they can generally reward their players. The rules regarding comp points can vary greatly from one online casino to the other, but the premise always remains the same: For every wager a player makes in the online casino, he receives a set amount of comp points. In a sense, comp points can be thought as "loyalty currency". In many prime online casinos, players receive one comp point for every €/£/$10 they wager. This is a general outline – at some online casinos, different amounts of comp points are given for different types of games. Examples The comp point chart at bet365 Casino demonstrate the idea well: A player at bet365 Casino would get 1 comp point for 10 currency units wagered on games like roulette and craps, while on slots they would get 3. Once 100 points are accumulated, they can be converted to one currency point for players to use them as they wish. The comp point system used in Vegas Partner Lounge casinos is interesting as well (Crazy Vegas Casino, Golden Riviera Casino, Maple Casino etc). Players are admitted into the Vegas Loyalty Lounge where they amass comp points known as "C-Bucks". Ten credits wagered equal one C-Buck, and these can be used ultimately to withdraw more casino credits as well as to secure a VIP membership. Alternatively C-Bucks can also be used for admittance to exclusive tournaments or even for receiving a special gift on one's birthday. Loyalty Money It's very common to see online casinos which host special promotions in which players that abide by certain rules like playing a specified game or wagering a specified amount during a set time frame, receive a larger quantity of comp points – usually the amount is double comp points. Apart from their regular use, comp points also act as the currency in online casino VIP clubs and loyalty programs: These are usually composed of different tiers which players can advance throughout by amassing comp points. Additionally it is common for comp points to be used as currency to unlock and receive exclusive bonuses in the different loyalty tiers. Comp points are sometimes underrated - take heed and use them to your benefit.
Last year’s Watkins Glen was not a good race for many of the top names in NASCAR. It looked like the cleanup crews would be working overtime to take care of the wrecks, which plagued the race. Jeff Gordon, Marcos Ambrose, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne were the drivers that were unlucky enough to meet the wall last year. When all was said and done, Kyle Busch outraced Brad Keselowski for the win last year and not surprisingly, Busch is once again the favorite to win tonight’s edition of the Sprint Series. Pick your Winner One of the biggest mistakes that punters make when wagering online in NASCAR is that the drivers whom finished well at Sonoma will be the same names topping the list at Watkins Glen. There are some huge differences between the tracks and in 2013, only four drivers made the top ten in both races. It is challenging to choose an outright winner at Watkins Glen sue to the track’s history for crashes. William Hill Sports has done its best to try to make sense of it all and has posted their lines for tonight’s high-octane thriller. William Hill's Picks Kyle Busch could once again prove why he is the favorite to win at the Glen. He is an excellent Sprint Series driver, and has made a statement by finishing in the top ten in every race this year. Clint Bowyer is an interesting bet because if he does not win, he will not make the Chase. Expect his No. 15 Toyota Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing to be at the head of the pack. On the road, it is proving a great task defeat Marcos Ambrose that is why he could be the smart bet tonight. If he would not have crashed last year, he would have been able to challenge Busch for the win and he is hungry to win the last race of the year.

bet365 Casino players will find that four new slot games have been added to the gaming library this August, further adding to the vast selection already available. Among the new slots are the epic Battle of the Gods, the mystical Cat Queen, the stunning Esmeralda, and the intriguing Sherlock Mystery. Battle of the Gods Playtech has developed Battle of the Gods to be one of its most epic slot games. And the imagery of the symbols certainly helps to deliver, with the gods framed by brilliant blue lightning while the darker titans are bathed in the murky red of the underworld. Designed with five reels and 25 paylines, Battle of the Gods is a rewarding slot game featuring wilds, scatters, and free games. The X-Feature is a 5x multiplier that will be activated when all god symbols simultaneously occupy five positions on reels two, three, and four to form an X. Cat Queen Cat Queen will whisk players off on a mystical adventure to the sand-swept pyramids of Ancient Egypt. Rather than attempt another Egyptian slot featuring historical figures, Cat Queen has taken the wiser approach of adopting a fictional character. Players will be drawn to the five-reel slot by the winning opportunities presented by 40 paylines, specifically the combination of five pharaohs who will trigger a 200x multiplier. Additional features include free spins and a gamble option. Esmeralda Romance is in the air for players of Esmeralda, with two lotharios vying for the affections of the title character. The Latin vibes in the progressive slot game are cultivated through the use of roses, jewellery, and exotic musical instruments. Esmeralda consists of five reels and 25 paylines, over which 12 different symbols can appear. Scatter symbols can trigger up to 70 free games, but players will instead be hoping for five Esmeralda symbols on the same payline to trigger the progressive jackpot. Sherlock Mystery Join Sherlock Holmes and his trusted sidekick John Watson for a fresh adventure. The pair have been placed in the midst of a mysterious five-reel slot game boasting 20 paylines. An array of crime-related symbols create the authentic feel of a Sherlock caper. Ten free games plus an extra wild symbol will be the rewards for landing three or more Baker Street symbols anywhere on the reels. However, the biggest draw of the game is to trigger the Crime Scene Bonus by landing three bonus symbols on reels one, three, and five – search through evidence to find cash rewards.
