VIPs and high rollers bring in significant amounts of profit to casinos. But what is it exactly that makes a player a VIP and how can you become one? 

High rollers make up only 1% or less of a casino’s total player base however they contribute an impressive 10–20% of the total GGR and can bring in, on average, anywhere between $50,000 to $500,000 annually, more if they’re Tier 1 VIPs. Together, VIPs and high rollers generate about 50-60% of a casino’s Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR)

Evidently, retaining one high roller is much more profitable than attracting and bringing in multiple regular players. This is why casinos need to place great focus on retention strategies to up their players’ Lifetime Value (LTV), and on creating a premium experience for VIPs through a dedicated VIP department made of trained managers.

Once a player has been determined as having growth potential, the next step is to reach out to the player. This is where the VIP manager comes in. The VIP Manager’s role is to act as the player’s personal consultant, resolving any issues that may arise as quickly and efficiently as possible, giving exclusive, early access to new casino features, curating a personalised loyalty system based on the client’s status and gaming preferences, and also, being there to chat about anything. Depending on the manager’s experience and the players’ tiers, the number of VIP clients in a VIP manager’s portfolio can vary between 100 and 200 players.
