Casino Rewards & the Founders Circle
Two programmes, one philosophy — loyalty should pay in privileges, not plastic. Tasman Rewards is free and instant; the Founders Circle is the 300-seat private membership above it.
Loyalty, Built Like a Bank — Not a Coupon Book
Tasman Rewards accrues on every dollar in the house — tables, machines, dining, suites, spa — converting to play credit, dining credit and upgrades with no blackout dates. Joining takes five minutes at the rewards desk.
The Founders Circle sits above it: Crest, Meridien and Sovereign tiers whose annual dues convert entirely into stay, dining and play credit — membership is a bank account with a better view, not a fee.
All services
What Membership Buys
Member rates
Circle members book suites 12–18% below the best public rate, any date.
Salon privé access
Meridien and Sovereign tiers hold standing entry to the private salons — no invitation needed.
Priority allocation
Penthouse, chef's counter and peak-season dates are offered to members before the public book.
Transfer privileges
Complimentary limousine transfers citywide; Sovereign members add heli hops within Cairns.
Membership should feel like ownership of a small, excellent hotel. That is precisely what it is.
Joining the Circle
Rewards joins at the desk in minutes; the Circle is considered by the membership office within three days.
Tasman Rewards
Sign at the rewards desk or on the floor — card in hand the same visit, points accruing immediately.
Candidacy
Circle applications are reviewed weekly — residency, references and a short interview with the membership office.
Induction
New members are walked through the privileges over dinner — on the house, of course.

A Member's Quarter
Cellar evening
The sommelier opens museum vintages eight metres down — members and their guests only.
Salon championship
The members-only invitational — baccarat and blackjack across the privé salons.
Founders' dinner
The long table on the lawn — chef's harvest menu, and the year ahead presented.
Do rewards points expire?
Can dues really be spent in full?
Is the Circle open to non-residents?
My dues came back as two reef weekends and a cellar dinner. Membership is the best value in the building.
