Caesars expands digital loyalty engagement with Caesars Rewards Shop launch
Following increased engagement driven by high-value jackpot wins, Caesars has continued expanding its digital products for its loyalty program. In December, the company launched the Caesars Rewards Shop on the Caesars Palace Online Casino app.
The Caesars Rewards Shop allows members to redeem Reward Credits for Bonus Spins on eligible slot titles, complementing existing options such as Casino Bonus Cash. For the first time, credits earned anywhere within the Caesars Rewards network can be used for Bonus Spins inside the online casino platform.
Caesars said the feature was intended to align digital play more closely with the broader rewards program used across its physical destinations.
Access is provided through the app's Rewards Center, keeping redemption tools embedded within the core gameplay environment. Reward Credits function as a single currency across hotel stays, dining, entertainment, and online casino play, maintaining consistency across channels.
“We’re constantly looking at ways to innovate our online casino offerings to give our players a rewarding experience,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.
“The launch of the Caesars Rewards Shop represents another step in aligning our online platforms with the broader Caesars Rewards ecosystem. We’re proud to give players more ways to enjoy the games they love while making the loyalty currency they’ve earned work harder for them.”
