Default Risk of not giving players card

I've noticed when I sit down at the table and buy in for either 1,000 or 2,000 that when they ask for a players card and say "no I don't have one" they always fire back " well we can get you one" I say no thats ok, but it seems to throw a flag up of being a CC. I mean how many people buy in for that much and don't ever ask to be rated or ask for comps. Is there any suggestion to get around this?

Why not just use the card? Or buy in for a smaller amount, so you don't draw the attention?

If you're intending on spending some time in the casino, I suppose you could change over smaller amounts whilst table hopping.

To answer your question- not using a card may result in added heat.

Get the card, get the points. Get lucky too if you can.

Not having a card can pull heat - but also makes you more immune to receiving comps. As a player who believes you should get EVERYTHING you (legally) can from a casino in return for your patronage / play, I'd always suggest a players card. With or without a card, if they don't like your play, they have the right to ask you to leave. At least with a card you might leave with a few comp dollars or gifts.
