How do I sign up for the Colusa Casino Rewards Club?
Rewards members who earn the minimum amount of required tier points will advance to the next tier level. While earning periods will continue to be 6 months, we will now offer instant tier upgrades to guests who earn the required minimum points prior to the end of the evaluation period. For instance, if you sign up for the first time and earn 5,000 points on your first day, you can visit guest services that day to upgrade to the Ridge Level.

- Valley: Entry Level
- Ridge: 5,000 points
- Butte: 20,000 points
- Vista: 50,000 points

This is FAQ answer. Click to edit this text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
What is the difference between tier points and rewards points?
While both tier points and rewards points are earned at the same rate, tier points are only used to determine your tier status: Valley, Ridge, Butte, Vista, Summit. Tier status is determined in January and July and is based on your play and point accumulation for the prior 6 months. As you accumulate points by playing slots, bingo, or purchasing items with cash in the dining outlets, you earn rewards benefits or rewards points. These points can be redeemed in the food outlets or River Valley Lodge. In addition, rewards points can be converted to free play or cash upon accumulation of a required number of points.
By redeeming rewards points in the outlets, you impact the balance of your rewards points, not your accumulated tier points. In other words, the amount of rewards points you have available does not determine your tier status. Rewards points are earned at the following rates:
- SLOTS
- Every $1 Spent = 1 Point
- BINGO
- Every $1 Spent in Admissions = 3 Points
- DINING OUTLETS
- Every $1 Spent with Cash/Credit = 2 Points
- Excludes Alcohol Purchases
- Every $1 Spent with Cash/Credit = 2 Points
- HOTEL
- Every $1 Spent with Cash/Credit = 2 Points
What happens to the points on my old Colusa Casino Rewards Club card?
Your Rewards points will still be available on your account. Though your tier status will be new, the information on your account will remain the same.
When will I be eligible to upgrade to the next tier?
All rewards members will be eligible for instant tier upgrades. Upon reaching the required number of points for the next tier level, you can visit Guest Services to receive your new card and your tier upgrade award. Based on the tier level you have earned, you will be awarded $25-$100 Free Play at the time of upgrading your card. You can then begin enjoying more benefits associated with your new tier level.
How will I be notified if my tier level changes?
To inquire about the status of your tier level, please visit Guest Services for more information.
How long do I have to earn points to get to the next tier?
Points earned during the set 6-month evaluation periods will determine your tier level. Points earned between January 1st – June 30th will determine your level for July 1st – December 31st. Points earned between July 1st – December 31st will determine your level for January 1st – June 30th. If you earn the required amount of points prior to the end of the evaluation period, you can visit Guest Services to receive your new card!
How do I check my tier status, tier points, and rewards points?
The staff at Guest Services will be happy to assist you in checking your tier status, tier points, and rewards points. You can also check your points earned and tier status via the Colusa Casino Resort mobile app available on iTunes and Google Play.
How do I redeem my rewards points?

You are also eligible to redeem points for cash when you reach 250,000 points in a 6-month period. Redeeming your rewards points does not affect your points earned for your tier status.
