Junket trips to AC

[tmg]

Today I saw an ad in the paper for a junket trip to AC with flights, hotel, transportation etc on a Friday and Saturday night for $199 total!  I've done a little math and if I wanted to book that same thing I'd easily be looking at $1000+. So my question is, whats the catch?! Is there a betting amount obligation, hidden fees or some type of trick to it all?! How does the guy booking dirt cheap trips make his money? I'm just a casual low stakes poker player and most likely wouldn't play anything else, I don't see how they would gain anything from me. I hope this is a good place for quick, quality feedback. I have no idea about these trips but something seems off and the trip is soon! Not good at finding things so any links to experiences or forums etc from players that have been on these trips would be great!

First of all, hello and welcome to the AskGamblers forum.

 

There's no catch here, this ''trip trick' is used from ages to bring new and/or potential customers to casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas.

Can you show us the source where this trip is announced?
