getting promotional mailers without using player's card

[beta]

There was a casino where I used to play rated a lot. Then I got backed off and stopped playing there. I got good mailers for a long time afterwards, and still even get a little almost a year later.

Then a couple months ago, I played at a sister property in another state hundreds of miles away. I didn't use my player's card since since I figured it would trigger an immediate backoff. The only time I showed my ID (except for brief age verification) was when I was cashing out at the cage. I used a passport (It does not have address.) The cashier found me in their system and asked if I was still at the same address. I said, "Yeah," and then she printed me a copy of my old player's card.

Now, I'm starting to get decent mailers from the new casino. I'm quite perplexed by this. I never used any player's card there, and the pit boss did not look me up. How did they even know what I was betting to determine the mailer size? Does this mean I can go play rated there with impunity and try to beef up my mailers?

This also happened to me in vegas on the strip at an mgm casino

If your name is heated up at a casino, don't show ID at the cage. Definitely don't have them print out a poisoned card. Both of those actions could have set off heat. In fact, it's possible you poisoned yourself at that casino without knowing it, just based on that action.

If cashing out without ID would cause an issue, use smaller cashouts (but be careful you don't do anything that looks like structuring to avoid the $10,000 limit).

While the advice already posted is good, I will add that there is very often a disconnect between marketing (players cards) and surveillance (game protection) and it is not predictable. This type of story occurs all the time. I was trespassed at Harrah's and then RFB comped at another Harrah's in a different state. You should error on the side of caution.

Some of the national chains have poorly integrated systems, some are good. Pinnacle and Penn generally poorly integrated. Pinnacle I have limited experience with, but have seperate players card numbers at different properties even though the name, DOB, address, etc are the same.

A property cannot refuse to cash you out for failure to produce ID.

I can confirm, several Penn properties could not even see play at another Penn property.

"A property cannot refuse to cash you out for failure to produce ID."

While that is true, they can make you tediously jump
through hoops to get your chips converted to cash.

When a casino placed my mug and info in the O.S.N.
Database, they refused to cash me out without a
verifiable Social Security Number, although I was well
below the CTR threshold.

What was your response? Did you threaten legal action?
