you do also earn year end gift points, which can be redeemed for
free play, at 1/3 of the "cashback" level (all cash back is via
freeplay). The gift points are worth a bit more than that for
most of the wide selection of gifts. It does require a visit to
the casino in late nov or early dec (whenever their gift giveaway
is) in order to claim any gifts.
