Hoping to revive this so we can push to get brick and mortar BL status.
I recently sent an email to Jordan Palamar. His title is Customer Service Coordinator for Internet Gaming at Borgata. He initially helped set up the process of going to the myBorgata center to transfer comp dollars after I harrassed all their support channels. His email is
JordanPalamar@theborgata.com. I'm encouraging anyone else who cares about this to email him and plead your case. I'm posting what I sent below.
Hi Jordan,
We spoke over email a few months ago about purchasing Borgata comp dollars with iRewards points through the poker client. You helped set up the process of transferring the points at the myBorgata center and it has been very good so far.
I'm writing to ask if there has been any consideration from you or others at Borgata about play online counting toward a brick and mortar Black Label card.
I am currently a Black Label member, but my card is set to expire. I need to earn $316 comp dollars by the end of this month to renew the card, but I likely won't make that since I stopped playing live poker once the online game launched. I used to be a heavy 2-5 live player, which is how I earned the comp $640 comp dollars that have already been counted toward my renewal this year.
Since online play started I have earned roughly 13,000 iRewards points, which as you know equates to $6500 in rake paid.
A live 2-5 player needs to earn $1000 comp dollars to receive black label. At $2 comp dollars per hour that is 500 hours. At $10 per hour in rake paid, that is $5000 in rake. So I have easily surpassed this number from both my live and online play this year. I will also lilkely qualify for Black Label Elite online this quarter.
I hope there can be some consideration toward renewing my status. I am a local player in Atlantic City and have always enjoyed the Borgata above all other properties. I know that WSOP awards brick and mortar Diamond status to their players but I geniunely do not want to move my play there and would much rather stay with Borgata.
Please let me know what you think. Also, if there is any other person or department I can make my case to please let me know.
Thanks for reading. You have always been helpful in the past.
