Physical casinos usually have cards that are given to players who have been loyal over the year. Some of these cards are called loyalty cards, player cards, or whatever other names that that the casino see fit. And from what I understand, with these cards, the casinos are able to track the frequency with which the player plays, how much they spend.
The catch here is that players who use these cards often earn reward points for it as well as other perks.
If a player who has been loyal spends within $5000 - $10,000 in your casino but forgot to use this loyalty cards, if you were the casino manager will you still give them reward points for the expenses in the casino?
It's a good question, and it is a balance between rewarding loyalty and keeping the following. In theory, yes, the Casino manager wants to reward loyal players even if they have forgotten to use their loyalty card. To address this challenge, many casinos can establish mechanisms to pick up transactions and make retroactive payments. This is most apt for big-ticket transactions. This many times depends on the rules and particulars of a casino. Having a method to tie previous transactions into a player's loyalty account or an ability to extend an offer can help in such cases but still promote loyalty in the use of credit cards to track accuracy and consistent payments.

The reason for the card is for them to be able to track the activities of that gambler without any stress, so if someone who is with the card can be rewarded, then the next person who doesn't have a loyalty card should also be rewarded if they can be able to verify their claim of how much they have spent in the casino with the playing history.
The only thing there is that the person who doesn't have a membership card will have to undergo verification for me to make sure that what they claim is correct.
You are an excellent point. The whole point of the loyalty cards is for the tracking and rewarding of the players. But it would even be worth rewarding those spending too much even without remembering their cards. Being on the look-out for the claims from the players without credit cards is excellent. It sees to it that the rewards are accorded basing on the actual cost incurred. Using a checklist will enable fairness and equity to be maintained. It is with added value for the loyal customers because they could have their cards. It is all about facilitating it with proper knowledge of player loyalty.
