Why do casino cards have holes?

Can my wife use my casino card?
Most casinos won't give you a problem if you're playing on a spouse's or partner's card, especially if your last name and/or address is the same. You should not do this, however, if you're playing on a competitive promotion, like a contest for the most or best of something.
