So many times I see people paying ridiculous ATM fees or even worse rip off cash advance charges when with just a little advanced planning they could obtain funds for free. it id right there at the casino credit office.

All they need is is your bank account info, sometimes a blank voided check, and a credit application with a credit report.

Depending on the amount you will have from a week to a month to pay it back

But they only need $100 because they are going to win it right back.

I have run into minimum requirements of 5K a couple of times on the applications.
That may even be standard.
Just so you know.

A lot of casino cages (CET for sure) will let you write a personal check with no surcharge, with a maximum/day that they set. I've used that service several times.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Indeed, I have an acquaintance who constantly runs to the ATM when his funds are low. I calculated how much money he has paid in ATM/Bank fees over the last 10 years and it is over $600!

Atlantic city casinos have the highest ATM fees I've seen from $4.50-5.00, plus he has Chase bank who charge a $2 fee for non-chase atm withdrawals. I always advise him to take out enough money from a Chase ATM before going to the casino, but alas the old "I'm gonna win in my first $200" mentality never fails!!

Relevant

$250 limit per withdrawal, $4 fee per. As far as I know, this is still in effect (I haven't gone back there since opening).

Credit is always the right play if you have self discipline. Or if you just need more cash when playing the right way and variance is getting you.

There is a women named CARLA at The Borgata credit office in the evenings. She is very personable, although she does not look it she has been doing Casino credit since the early days of AC.

She can help you set up an account and correctly explain how it works.

As stated above, you need some self-control, but it's a great way of accessing money without fees.

I've never run into the $5K minimum requirement.. and I have accounts at Bellagio, Treasure Island, Red Rock and MSS.

Why though?

I bring as much cash as I am willing to lose.

Good for you.

But if someone with maybe a higher budget is willing to lose $5 or $10K.... if you were them, would you want that in your suitcase or sitting in your room? (even if you use the safe?)

Good point. Regarding BIGGGER money players

Also traveling with large amounts of money is difficult. Try to explain $25K late in a suitcase to TSA or a State Trooper on the side of the road.
