This is an excellent point, and you are probably right.
However, if such a person hangs around the casino, he might also have the
opportunity to watch players as they sit down to play, and maybe pick up a PIN
or two as they download their free play. If he does, he might later have a
chance to snatch that card, or pick it up if it is forgotten. Granted, this is
unlikely, but not impossible. Your (and Jean's) scenario is much more likely.
And as you say, he might have a cohort who can not only provide (not
necessarily change) PINs, but could actually make him cards which belong to other
people! Also unlikely, but never underestimate the power of greed!

Wouldn't they still need to know your PIN to be able to download any
freeplay? I guess they could have the PIN changed, but I'm pretty
sure all club desk attendants are in the habit of asking for ID
whenever someone requests something like a PIN change. Now I suppose
that if the person had a friend working the desk, it could be done,
but I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to do that. It would be
pretty easy to track down the employee changing the PINs, and with
that miniscule $5 per pop having to be chopped, I can't imagine
anyone who would think it worth the loss of job and possible
prosecution.
I would guess it is more likely that the person got all these cards
through having friends, family, etc... sign up. Of course, I'm not
saying that is any more ethical, I'm just saying that I don't think
the person is collecting abandoned cards.
