My Rewards

Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Ltd. is famous for both its 25 properties around Canada and its My Rewards loyalty program, available in all casinos owned and operated by the company, including Gateway Casinos Clinton.

The program offers exclusive promotions, discounts on dining, access to Gateway-hosted events, complimentary hotel stays and many other benefits. The membership is free.

Depending on your level in the program, you will receive a special loyalty card. Speaking of program levels, we should mention that it is a five-tier program, with each of the levels offering a special set of bonuses. Players can move up the levels by obtaining more points while playing casino games.

For every $10 wagered on slot machines, the players will generate one reward/tier point. If video poker games are more of your thing, then you will have to bet $20 to get one point, and you’ll get one point for every $40 at electronic tables.

You can exchange reward points for free slot play, while tier points allow you to move up the bonus ladder. Here are how many points you need for each level:

• Rewards (0 to 999 points)
• Silver (1,000 to 4,999 points)
• Gold (5,000 to 24,999 points)
• Elite (25,000+ points)
• Ultra (invite only)

Some of the perks, such as discounts at participating restaurants, redeeming reward points for free play, an increased number of bonus points on select days, and birthday offers, are available at all levels. Only the higher levels, however, include priority hotel check-ins, tickets for invitation-only shows and promotions, etc.
