OBC refund or gambling?

[screwsmcernst]

Our TA is giving us a big OBC for our sailing in Oct.  Most everything we are doing is already paid for .  If we have OBC left over at the end of the cruise, can we get it placed on our Credit card?  Or, can we gamble with the OBC?  If we can, how  do we go about doing that?  (Can you tell we aren't big gamblers? LOL)

Before you do anything, check your onboard account to see if it is coded OBN or OBR. If OBR, go to Guest Services on the last day and ask to cash it out.

 

If OBN then look at the casino option. Some do it through slots and will post here. I buy promo chips and play them at roulette until all my chips are non-promo .. then cash in.

We've had refundable OBC placed on the credit card.   Also I've used OBC in the casino.   The staff in the casino window can explain to you how to use it.

You can cash out any kind of OBC, even non-refundable, via the slot machine in the casino.

We cashed out our refundable OBC at guest services and received cash.  No questions asked (other than ID).

Roulette chips purchased with OBN are promo chips (probably also used for match play promos, etc.). You can place bets with them, but you can't cash them out. I place bets only with promo chips and rake real chips from winnings to the side, until I run out of promo chips.

 

The slot machine method avoids putting money at risk, but I just prefer the roulette for me is just personal preference.
