I disagree. The house edge is changed when your bets are supplimented by complimentary promo chips and matchplays. Whilst the odds of winning or losing remain the same the payout ratio changes, which changes the advantage.


No, it's not right in principle. Keep in mind that if your tip bet loses, that is also deducted from your win/loss, so there is no "unfair" or even disparate treatment. You are the person betting that tip, and it is considered no differently from anything else you bet.
I disagree. If I go to a casino and 'win' $1000 over the trip, but have tipped $1500 then I have infact incurred a loss for the trip. That I should pay tax on the profit is wrong in principle. I'm sure they would ask for it but I would want to take a stand on this.
