Abstract: Provided are systems for providing ticket and cashless discount offers. As system includes a processor circuit that receives, from a player, a request for a cashout that corresponds to a cash balance held by the player at the end of a gaming session. A cashout bonus status that corresponds to the player and to the gaming session is determined. A bonus portion that is based on the cashout bonus status and the cash balance is determined. The system transmits an offer message to the player. The offer message includes an offer to allocate the bonus portion and the cash balance to be spent with a predefined vendor that is associated with a game provider. If the player accepts the offer, the bonus portion and at least a portion of the cash balance are transferred to an account that is associated with the player and the predefined vendor.
