I usually stay at a higher standard mlife property and have the play history required so I'm looking to introduce myself to a hotel contact, but the property I will be staying at this time list their team as either marketing executives or casino hosts.
Would it be in my interest to contact one or the other? Who would be of more help to me? Is one a more senior member of staff?
I'm staying at an alternative mlife property on my next trip as my stay was booked by others.

I would think a host could do more for you. They're more hands-on. Marketing is more generalized.

I'd say that the Marketing Executive has more power to bend policies or go beyond what a computer authorizes the host to do. Properties use different terminology between host, executive host and Marketing Executive.I don't know any casino that insists its patrons have mere 'hosts' and that Marketing Executives go unmolested by the curious.
So titles may vary but the fact is hosts get promoted to something higher and if you qualify you might as well start with an older more experienced Host With Fancier Title Who Also Has Other Mini-Whales.
I could be way off here but it seems strange to have two people with different titles doing the pretty much the same job unless there is reason for this i.e. responsibility for different levels of player or...... actually I can't think of a second, but I could be wrong again.
Executive Casino Host Duties
It's not really clear but the impression made from the websites etc are that the marketing executives are a more senior position than a casino host.

I think that they basically different levels of the same job. Of course, this may involve different responsibilities, but that's true of most careers -- when you get promoted, you have more responsibility, but there still may be some overlap with your old responsibilities.
Anyway, anyone who has their information listed on the website is fair game to be contacted -- that's why the information is listed. If you contact the 'wrong' person I'm sure that they will redirect you.

A host has a particular list of clients, will set reservations at any hotel in the company, get show tickets, approve comps either in advance or at checkout (beyond the use of your points), and can also do the above. They keep a file on you about your likes and dislikes, your past visits, personal information beyond your ADT etc. A host looks at your play and can get you put on lists for great promotions you haven't earned on a speculative basis. So, from my experience with both, I would strongly recommend you get a relationship with a host. I could be wrong about the hierarchy; the host might have to go to a marketing executive to get approval for things beyond basic RFB, and I just don't know about it.

I am pretty sure that these are all just different levels of the same job (or maybe some are the same level with different names at different casinos). All have set me up with comped rooms, limos, etc before -- standard host stuff.
Let’s start by calculating the costs of running an Internet casino each month. The biggest expense most online casinos have is software related. Almost all gambling sites lease their softwarefrom one of the big 3 casino software providers:
- Playtech
- Microgaming
- Net Entertainment
I’ve seen estimates that claim these 3 companies power 60% of all online casinos.
All of them have one thing in common:
They’re expensive.
All of these providers charge $11,000 or $12,000 a month to lease their software. They also get a 15% cut of the casinos’ winnings. That’s a pretty big expense right out of the gate.
But that’s not the only expense. Almost all online casinos run an affiliate program in order to drive business to their site.
Here’s how that works:
A webmaster runs a gambling information portal or site. He signs up for a casino affiliate program. He advertises the casino in exchange for a commission on each player.
This commission usually takes 1 of 2 forms:
- A CPA (cost per acquisition)
- Revshare (revenue sharing)
A CPA is a flat amount that the casino pays the affiliate for each player who signs up and makes a deposit at the casino. This amount can range from $25 to $500, depending on how much volume asite is able to send a casino.
With a CPA arrangement, the casino risks paying more for the player than the player loses to the casino. But it’s okay, because over a large number of players, a casino has an idea of what theaverage player is going to lose. That amount is always more than the CPA.
I’ve heard from reliable sources that the average online casino gambler is worth at least $1000. That takes into account the low rollers who only deposit and lose $25, but it also takes intoaccount the high rollers who deposit and lose $10,000 a month for months at a time.
The other arrangement is called revshare, or revenue sharing. In this arrangement, the casino pays the affiliate a percentage of the players’ losses for the lifetime of the player. This amountvaries, but it hovers around 25%. Big affiliates can demand higher revshare percentages.
So if an affiliate refers a player who deposits and loses $10,000 a month, he gets $2500 in commission each month.
But affiliates on revshare also have to take into account the amount of money their referred players win. If that $10,000 a month high roller gets on a hot streak, he can wipe out the earningsfrom the other dozen or 100 players the affiliate has referred.
So far we have a flat fee of $12,000 a month going out the door. We’re also seeing 25% of the casino’s wins being paid out in commissions, and we have 15% royalties going to the softwareprovider.
Casinos also have to pay for customer service and hosting. Let’s assume you can operate a world class customer service department using offshore labor and spending only $5000 a month.
Let’s also assume that a casino is using its own secure server. I don’t have a lot of experience with Web hosting for sites with this kind of traffic or that sites that use so much bandwidth byhosting games, but I’m going to assume it’s expensive, but not too expensive. I’m going to call it $2500 a month. And if I’m way off on that estimate, let me know in the comments section.
