Star Casino is not in the State I reside, so I get better offers from them to travel interstate. I believe this is because they get a 17% rebate for interstate guests but I'm not certain. Our casino dollar earnings are higher than those who are local and we use this money to claim our flights and spend money on-site at restaurants, spa etc. Accommodation is complimentary.

I think interstate and overseas members will still spend the same amount of money, just change destination because of the 12 hours restriction over 24 hours and 24 hours break.

Gold Coast also have a 12 hours restriction but not the mandatory 24 hours break afterwards. Our group usually stays 2 nights.

The gaming time begins from the time you enter your card to play and concludes on your last play of the day. So, even if you went out for dinner for 2 hours in-between or the pool, it's still counted as on-site and is included in your 12 hours.

As for Crown, their offers don't compare because they're in the State I reside.
