Playing with someone else's card

Like counting, the casino will frown upon it, but it's not illegal. However, if you use comps or other freebies generated by the card, that places you in murky waters.

Would there be a problem with the person the card is issued to redeeming the comps?

I think this is a real grey area. In Pa a couple years ago a casino "busted" an AP team for playing on multiple cards. They were actually charged with "something".... I am not sure what. I was interested to see what was going to happen with this case, because as everyone knows non-AP's do this everyday at every casino. Family members and friends playing on others cards and cashing promotions.

However after the first mention of this case, I heard no more. Maybe others know of it, or maybe it is something we aren't talking about for whatever reason?? If I had to guess, I would bet the AP team members "settled", probably pleading guilty to some small charge and paid a fine rather than fight it, which would have been interesting.

Anyway, with Vegas casinos, especially the local type casinos cracking down on AP machine players in recent months, I wouldn't be surprised if they came up with more of this being "illegal", despite that we all know and have seen many people do so. I can't tell you how many times I have been behind someone at a kiosk, swiping 3 or 4 cards of family members or friends.

And one other comment and this is purely hypothetical....not speaking of any actual person or event. ;) But let's say a spouse, or even family member or friend passes away, I see nothing wrong with the spouse, family member or friend playing off all points and offers on the card, even future offers for a month or two. I mean everything (points, offers) was earned. Pretty sure the casino might not agree, but if I found myself in that situation, I would not feel guilty about doing that. Again, I am talking hypothetical here. :oops:
