About
Welcome to JunketNews.com!
As any fan of casino gambling knows, the best way to travel to your favorite vacation spot is via a local player representative…often referred to as a “junket rep”.
Independent “junket reps” act as the liaison between casinos and proven premium players, making all the arrangements and accompanying the players. Casinos assign a rating to each premium player based on the equation: (casino’s theoretical win) = (player’s average bet) x (hands per hour) x (hours played) x (house advantage). A player’s rating is used in several ways to figure the rep’s commission: flat fee, percentage of front money, commission on dead chips, commission on live chips, percentage of player’s loss, or percentage of casino’s theoretical win.
Some casinos operate their own junkets, but more and more are utilizing outside representatives.
At JunketNews.com, we are creating the first ever comprehensive listing of known independent junket representatives. We include as much information on each as we can ascertain, and our goal is to become the premier online resource for reviews of these representatives by those with first hand experience as customers. As the number of representatives increases, and competition heats up, we’d like to give potential customers the upper hand in determining which representatives will most thoroughly attend to their needs and offer the best value for casino travel.
We encourage you to submit your reviews and stories of your experiences with these reps, and (coming soon) your reviews of individual properties and gaming companies.
If you are a rep and wish to be included in our listing, please visit the Contact Us page and submit your information. One of our reps will contact you soon. You can also use the Contact Us page for your general comments and suggestions on JunketNews.com.
Thanks and Good Luck!
