Source-review note
The programme FAQ supplies the recorded thresholds. A separate Hard Rock shop page displayed a different Star credit band, so the two sources should not be treated as interchangeable.
Market context is not a statement that a programme is available or legal everywhere. Read the licensing and location checklist and the operator’s current terms before making a decision. Do not increase gambling to obtain or retain status.
