Whiteowl Posted February 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2019 On our upcoming cruise we have quite a bit of OBC. We already have prepaid grats, beverage package and a number of tours. I was looking to invest/waste some of the OBC in the casino but aren't sure how to do this. Any good suggestions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non refundable type usually represents promotional dollars; Refundable comes about when currency has changed hands. Only Refundable may be used in the Casino. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancruz Posted February 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2019 When people say they have a lot of OBC..My answer is "diamonds are a girls best friends" Jancruz1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted February 8, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2019 We’re on Riviera now and on the bottom of the cards where they list the OBC, they all said, “Not for use in the casino”. These OBC’’s were from Oceania and from Oceania’s club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go-Bucks! Posted February 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2019 The casino workers told us that if you use OBC in the casino, there is a 3% fee that they add to what you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitraveler Posted February 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2019 What part of the 3% service fee means they will charge your non refundable OBC and not your credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, any time that one draws cash in the Casino, that fee applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other cruise lines that I've sailed on, it's so easy to use OBC in the casino...for slots, you just insert your cruise card into the machine and play! No fees.

StanandJim Posted February 12, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2019 OBC is carefully designed to encourage the usage of extras which the "powers that be" believe will enhance our cruise experience. Their marbles= their game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
