Urcomped Cruise for someone who barely gambles?

Recommended Posts

I received an offer and went on a cruise from Celebrity last year from their casino/Blue Chip Club. It was a comped balcony room. Everything went off without a hitch. I've also received offers from Margaritaville/Bahamas Paradise casino before.

I also learned about Urcomped for free cruise comps. 
I uploaded the Celebrity offer, the Margaritaville offer, and a couple other comp offers from low tier land based casinos.

I now have a number of offers from Urcomped for cruises, but have not actually booked one yet.

The thing is, I gamble very little. I have no idea why Celebrity/Margaritaville sent me the offers, but I took advantage of them.

How is the booking process with Urcomped? Can I actually book the offers I have or is there a catch?

What happens when I gamble very little again on the free cruise? I would make an effort to up spending on the comped cruise a little bit, but definitely not to a level to justify comps.

Just trying to figure out if this is legit.

Thanks for any information.

If you book with them and gamble very little, you will be one and done. They will not book any more comps for you. 
I knew a TA that did that once on Anthem and they never received another offer, as well it should be.

I figured as much... What kind of money is required to cycle through the machines to be considered "adequate?" I don't anticipate getting offers after the first one, so I guess I should book something decent since it will likely be the only one.

I didn't lie about my bankroll - I put $1500 which is way more than I normally gamble, but less than justifiable for a comped cruise.

The Celebrity and Margaritaville comps directly from the cruise lines came from a few hundred in spend.

If you click under the “more” drop-down menu on URComped’s site there is a comp calculator that will give you your ADT that they use to base your comps on. Also some offers will say “Play 4 hours per day at a certain bet”

My rule of thumb is to gamble no-more than the cost of the comped cruise. When you have a casino invite, often times you will still have to pay (port & fee, upgrade, etc) Whatever money I save from using the comp vs out-of-pocket, is my limit.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Appreciate the input.
