First time hearing about Empire Builder? Read all about our big upgrade to Caesars Rewards first.
Step 1: Join Empire Builder
Earning rewards with Empire Builder is simple and seamless. Just look for the Empire Builder banner in the Rewards section of the Caesars Palace Online Casino app. Then, tap the Opt In and Get Started button and you’re in.
While Empire Builder is a monthly rewards experience, you only need to opt in once to participate.
One important thing. Empire Builder is part of Caesars Rewards. To join Empire Builder, you’ll need a Caesars Rewards number. Before you opt in, make sure your Caesars Rewards number is tied to your Caesars Palace Online Casino account.
Step 2: Earn Tier Credits as you play
As you play casino games at Caesars Palace Online Casino, you’ll earn Tier Credits for your play:
- Earn 1 Tier Credit for every $5 wagered on slots
- Earn 1 Tier Credit for every $25 wagered on table games
If you use your Caesars Palace Online Casino account to bet on sports at Caesars Sportsbook, you’ll also earn Tier Credits for your sports wagers.
As you earn Tier Credits, you’ll fill your monthly progress meter and unlock new prizes along the way.
Step 3: Track your progress, right from the app
You can see how you’re progressing in Empire Builder throughout the month. Just go to the Rewards tab and look for the Empire Builder graphic. Then tap it to see all this:
- Your current progress
- The number of days remaining to improve your progress
- The rewards you’ve earned
- Your next reward
Step 4: Claim your rewards as you play
As you earn Tier Credits by playing online casino games, you’ll see your progress meter fill up. The more it fills, the more Empire Builder rewards you’ll unlock.
It’s a good idea to check your progress each time you sign in to the Caesars Palace Online Casino app. Not only will you see how you’re progressing this month, but you’ll also find out if you’re eligible to unlock a new reward.
If a new reward is available, just tap Claim and it will be added to your account.
Don’t forget about the monthly reset
Empire Builder runs from the first day of the month to the last day of the month. That means you have one full calendar month to fill your progress meter and unlock rewards.
On the first of the month, your progress meter resets. That means you’ll have a new opportunity to earn monthly rewards. But it also means that if you forgot to claim your rewards the previous month, they’ll no longer be available.
Always play responsibly
While earning rewards with Empire Builder can be fun, it’s always important that you play responsibly. Use the Responsible Gaming tools available in the Caesars Palace Online Casino app to do all this:
- Set gaming limits, including deposit limits, betting spend limits, single wager limits, loss limits, and time limits.
- Use Reality Check and receive a reminder to take a break every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- Set a Cool Off period of up to 90 days if you feel you need a break from playing online.
- Use the Self-Exclusion tool to restrict yourself from playing at Caesars Palace Online Casino permanently.
