    So, I JUST got an unexpected text message from Gulfstream Park Casino informing me that I won 500(They wrote it just like that. 500. They failed to say whether it is $500 or $5) in free play in a Hot Seat Promotion for recently visiting . I visited on Sunday. They said my free play was only valid until 11pm TONIGHT. WHY give such short notice? I am in BED and I am flabbergasted why they gave only about a two hour window. Why give an unexpected "Gift," so late? What if I wasn't even IN Florida?

    They are just seeing who the degen gamblers are. I know of people that go back to casino after leaving just because they checked their email , note that they have some free slot play and immeditaly return and lose even more money . Me , I just love those degens they keep the casino coffers ticking over so people like me can wait out the covid thingie and return when its safer and the casino is still a viable establishment.

    Its really a great strategy on the casino part when you think it through. Let me explain if I may.

    They , we all know a degen gambler will risk everything to gamble , kids college fund , the home loan payments , car , etc so why would they care about their own or anybody else's health when it comes to gambling , Right ?
    So the casino knows this and the casino also knows WHEN YOU DIE YOU CANT TAKE YOUR MONEY WITH YOU ........so its better for them to get the degen in spending all their cash as odds are that degen will get covid and die ..... They figure why not , someone has to get the cash why not them, the degen dies happy thinking about the last gambling session , THE casino is happy they have even more money , Im happy the casino has enough money to ride the covid storm and still be open for me later in the year .... WIN WIN WIN.

    Thank god for degen gamblers , thank god your not a degen Karen Nathan as we can continue to enjoy more posts, cheers

    Hmm. But they should know most people wouldn't just hop on over in about two hours especially since the offer was given at NIGHT when most people are already at home. I could have understood if they gave the offer at like 2 in the Afternoon when many people are already out, but at around 9 PM when most people are sleeping or getting ready to sleep soon? No, just no.

    Hmm. I could just ask Gulfstream Park Casino Staff to give me my 500 in free play right since the deal was offered WAY too late, right? I am sure GPC could rectify the situation if I show the late text I got, right? I am planning to go there anyway since I have $50 in free play there left this month. It would be amazing if I could get $500 in free play on top of that. :)

    I have NEVER seen a Promotion like THAT! It would have been a good Promotion for people who were ALREADY in the Casino and lost big money and then got the surprise 500 free play text. But for people who were NOWHERE near The Casino, this is a fucked up Promotion and will turn off lots of Gamblers...

    Not so, it will actually drive a lot of foot traffic , you will be surprised as to the logic of that promo, it builds antisicaption , like throwing chum off the end of a jetty to lure fish , you do it every day for a week and the fish will be there at 11 pm waiting on day 8 before you get there. cheers
    Also in the states you will always get a upgrade here in skippy country they just laugh because there is only one casino per capital city and if you dont like it you will come back anyway because there is nowhere else within a 1000 km to gamble
    So ask for sure ,bet they go ok here etc. good luck

    I also have a $20 Food Comp that MAYBE, just MAYBE I can ask if they could change that to free play.... If they say "No, that's only for FOOD, I still have my guaranteed $50 in free play at Gulfstream. :)

    Went to Gulfstream Park Casino today.... Player's Club Staff Member informed me that this text message claiming I had 500 in free play was a SCAM and a Hoax as they do NOT send Text Messages. I knew this Scam text was fishy as hell because most legitimate Promotions wouldn't give a two hour window.

    Shoot , totally crazy ,why or what would you achieve by creating a scam text like that? I know people hack bank accounts or wi fi or security systems for fun etc but a scam text about free play to some casino ?
    Maybe whoever it was got bored making bogas news on the interverse last week and thought hey how about a scam text, gee that would be funny.
    I guess we will never know how many people actually went back before the 11 pm deadline tried to claim, didnt , and then thought well, we are here may as well play on. etc .
    Thanks for the follow through and Im surprised they didnt comp you up as I seem to read happens to so many people there in USA. cheers

    I got THREE Text Promotions," from "Gulfstream Park Casino, ". First one was claiming on Wednesday night that I had won 500(Didn't specify whether it was $500 or $5.00 in free play which was the first red flag) for a Hot Seat Giveaway for visiting recently. The Hot Seat Promotion had happened on Sunday when I visited but the Hot seat Promotion was from 12-6 and at 12-6 I had been working, so obviously didn't qualify for the Promotion. The second red flag was the fact that the window was way too short. Gave me the "Free play Promotion Text," at around 9 PM when I was already in bed and claimed I had until 11 PM to use it. What Legitimate Promotion gives a two hour window? I was going to go to Gulfstream Park Casino the very next day as I have $120 in free play for the entire month of August.

    The very next day, I went to GPC Player's Club to ask them about this weird Promotion text. The Staff Member looked confused and mentioned that he felt this was a SCAM and a HOAX as they don't send ANY text Messages and mentioned this weird Text Message didn't come from GPC
    He called his Boss about this weird Promotion Text and his Boss reiterated that this was a SCAM and a HOAX as they don't send Texts. I brushed it off thinking that maybe this was a one time game that some random person was doing to random people.

    Last night, this number on the text called me but I was asleep. When I woke up, I got a text message from the same saying I had $60 in points for my play yesterday. I had back to back free play on Thursday and Friday. I was beginning to get a bit weirded out.

    Today, I got a THIRD TEXT from this Number claiming I had two free bus tickets to go play at GPC. I am seriously getting creeped out now. This is getting disturbing especially since this number should have NO idea I take the bus....

    Don’t mean to alarm you but didn’t a few of the clowns from that other forum have your private mobile phone number? I would consider seeking advice from police department if that’s the case . As if maybe their ( the low lifes from that other forum) idea of a practical joke , but it is a form of bullying and imagine if you came to harm on your way to or from the casino because you had been pranked .
    Have you shown the text number to the casino? You take care with that ok.
    Oh and so Sozz to the floundering member for another lack of substance post from me . SIMple JUNKY
    Cheers
