Non-refundable OBC used for Gratuities and Casino?

[jlabs03]

I know this has been answered before but things change and I have not seen any recent answers to this. I received an OBC through a Carnival casino offer (not casino cash). Can you use non-refundable OBC in the casino and for gratuities?  Has any one done this recently (in last couple of months)?

Any OBC (refundable or non-refundable) can be used for daily grats, casino bank and all other on-board spending. Carnival will tap into your non-refundable OBC first and then your refundable OBC (if you have any) once the non-refundable is used up.

I was able to use the OBC for the auto gratuity and the casino. However you still have to pay the 3% fee in casino.

I didn't remember there being a fee.  Maybe I missed it, but we've used non refundable OBC in casino, for drinks, in the shops.  Joepeka is correct: they will use your non refundable before they tap into your refundable.

If it's one of the casino cruises like premier or elite then they will waive the fee.

Great, thanks.
