Comp Calculator

What Is the Casino Comp Calculator?

The Casino Comp Calculator helps players estimate the value of complimentary rewards (comps) they can earn based on their gambling activity. These comps can include hotel stays, meals, cashback, loyalty points, and other benefits that casinos offer as incentives for continued play.

Instead of guessing how much your play is worth, this calculator gives you a clearer picture based on actual inputs like bet size, game type, time played, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a comp?

A "comp" is a complimentary reward given by a casino, typically based on how much and how long you play. This can include food, hotel stays, show tickets, and more.

What does “theoretical loss” mean?

Theoretical loss is how much the casino expects to earn from your play, regardless of whether you win or lose. It's based on odds, not outcomes.

How do I get the most value from my comps?

• Always use your player's card
• Play games with a lower house edge
• Stick with one casino brand to build loyalty
• Ask hosts about available comps—some are not automatic

Do actual comps always match the calculator?

No. This calculator gives an estimate. Actual rewards may vary by casino policies, promotional periods, and player history.

What are tier multipliers?

Many loyalty programs offer extra rewards for players at higher tiers. These tiers multiply your base comp rate, increasing your total value.
