The Vidal VIP programme: points, levels and what they are worth

Loyalty programmes reward volume. Every real-money bet earns points, points move you up levels, and levels unlock perks such as cashback, reloads or a personal manager. The details at Vidal can change and are set by the operator, so this page focuses on how to measure the value of any loyalty scheme — what a point is worth, which rewards carry conditions, and why the programme should never be the reason you play more. All figures are illustrative.

What a point is really worth

To compare programmes, convert everything into a percentage of your stakes. Suppose you earn 1 point per 10 staked on slots, and 100 points can be exchanged for 1 in bonus money. That is 1 per 1,000 staked, or 0.1% of turnover — and if the bonus money carries wagering, less than that (illustrative example, not a Vidal condition). Compare that with the house edge of the games you play, often several percent, and the scale of loyalty rewards becomes clear.

Earning rates by game type

Programmes frequently use different earning rates: full points on slots, fewer on table games, fewer still on live games. This mirrors the game weighting used for wagering. Bets made with bonus money may not earn points at all. If you mostly play live tables, expect to progress slowly.

Rewards and their conditions

Typical reward	Condition to look for
Points exchanged for bonus money	Wagering and maximum bet on the converted amount
Level-up bonus	Whether it is real money or bonus money
Higher cashback percentage	Applies to losses only, and on which games
Exclusive reloads	Same structure as any reload, sometimes better terms
Personal account manager	Contact only — not a change in the terms

Levels that can go down

Some programmes are permanent: once reached, a level stays. Others review activity every month or quarter and move you down if you play less. A level that has to be "maintained" is a structural nudge to keep playing. Read the review rule before you set any personal goal around a level.

Why playing more to climb rarely pays

Because loyalty rewards return a fraction of a percent of turnover while games keep a larger edge, increasing stakes to reach the next level usually costs more than the level gives back. The programme is best seen as a small bonus on play you would do anyway. If you notice yourself chasing points or a level deadline, set a deposit limit — the tools are listed on the responsible gambling page. Related promotions: cashback and reloads.

Frequently asked questions

How do loyalty points usually work?

Points are earned in proportion to real-money stakes, often at different rates by game type. They may count towards levels, be exchanged for bonus money, or both, depending on the programme.

Do VIP rewards have wagering?

Often yes. Points converted into bonus money and many level-up rewards carry wagering and a maximum bet like any other bonus. Real-money rewards without wagering are less common.

Can I lose a VIP level?

In many programmes levels are reviewed periodically and can drop if activity falls. Read whether levels are permanent or need to be maintained.
