Hi all, just went last weekend. Played on the $5 table and ended up losing $100 before walking away. I played for about 2 hours and bet various amounts ($5 - 50% of the time, $10 - 30% of the time, $15 - 15 % of the time, and threw in an occasional $20 bet)
Logged in to my account to see no comp dollar balance but I am now $1/$1000 towards black label. Does that sound right? Stingy if so.

I'm not sure what you expect from $5 tables. If you know how to play and are not playing a 6:5 game, the casino will be lucky to break even after paying for their expenses. There is no profit left to comp you with.

That amount of action should be worth about $3 in total comps. However, all your comps don't necessarily go to your balance of comp dollars (I don't know specifically how Borgata does it, but if I put in that amount of play at any other casino I would expect to generate $10 of theo, and be comped at 30% of my theo, for $3 total comps. But that does not mean I'd expect to see $3 added to my comp dollar balance).

But realistically they might just have him down for a $5 average bet.

At a "locals" casino in Vegas, the pit boss might bother to rate your play if sitting at a $5 table. At Borgata, probably not, even if in AC. If the pit boss troubled himself to take your players card, he may have noted your bet on the first few hands($5?) and then walked away. Your bet was entered, if at all, as $5, as far as he was concerned.

This is not stingy; it's standard.
