Non-refundable OBC and the casino

[MrJulius]

If I have some non-refundable OBC left on my ships account near the end of my cruise can I use that to obtain casino chips? Let’s say I play for awhile and manage to break even. Can I cash those chips in for US currency?

 

Thanks in advance.

My experience in the past is that you can. However, it was four years ago.

[StLouisCruisers]

Yes, as long as the ship's official currency is US dollars. The Australian based ships will give you Aussie dollars.

I have heard people doing that.

We've used up our OBC this way on almost every cruise we've taken.

Yes, you have to play. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Hope you win.

That is how we do it. Get a bunch of chips play roulette and see how we do.

[MrJulius]

Thanks for all of the replies. If there is any OBC left over then I'll hit the casino. Much better than a $250 last minute facial. ;p

You can load the value into your casino account at any slot machine. Whether or not you play even a single game, you can cash it out for real money at the cashier. Not at customer service, at the casino cashier.

It's been reported here that not playing before cashing out will get a pointed reminder that "this isn't an ATM".

We've never been tempted to try it and always play at least a little. We frequently find that we end up with more the we started.;p

I did that once and they did not appreciate it and closed our casino account when we came back a few days later.
