• Peer-reviewed study of gambling loyalty programs

  Supports: Reports that gambling loyalty programs award points and benefits based on play, that benefits can rise with levels or tiers, and that the programs can incentivize spending or continued play near the next tier.

Remaining evidence gap: The paper stresses that evidence about harm is limited. Tier progress is generally tied to qualifying play rather than necessarily to net loss, so the fastest way up is to lose more is inaccurate as written.
