Yes.
Or even a player getting a free toaster and giving it to someone else in the parking lot.
Or redeeming a free hotel stay and then letting someone else stay in the room.

I've done that. Check in on behalf of a friend to use the room and most of the free giveaways, I will redeem it and give it away to the employees of the casino.
But the big difference is I have personally claimed the promotion then have given it away. Using someones players card to redeem the promo on behalf of someone else is totally different.

Not legally.
People can "feel" it's different all they want.
My only concern is the law and it's not different.
The law does not address any difference (for use with players permission) between who picks up any given item or uses a players card.

You keep saying "the law" as if there is some Universal law that applies in every casino everywhere. "The law" doesn't work like that. There are at least 50 different state jurisdictions and I imagine some municipalities that can establish laws affecting this. What the law is today is not always what the law is tomorrow.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

And as noted not one person has been convicted anywhere in the US for using another person players card WITH their permission.
And no one has yet to point to any law against it.
Lots of maybes, no evidence.
As for tomorrow's laws, I will worry about that "tomorrow".

Please be warned to keep things friendly.
You can see the warden in Shawshank Redemption didn't take well be being called obtuse.

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Fair, thank you for the reminder. I love that movie, used to watch it any time it was on tv. IIRC, the warden also did not enjoy it when his fraud was exposed.

I think your problem was the 28 cards. Casinos would have been fine with 27 but that extra one was one too many.

Nice humor.
I have had my crew stopped for using just two players cards.
Since there is a zero policy it makes no difference if I get caught with two or twenty or one hundred.
It's all legal either way.
