In order to get comps you need a players card. Pit bosses are always bugging you to get a players card. But to get a players card you have to give up your license. They will copy your license and put it in the computer. The casino now knows everything about you, if you get backed off or barred they know everything and will relay that info to their sister casino's, maybe even other casino's. How do you get a players card without giving out this info? I've looked into getting a fake I.D. but thats a pain and risky

I haven't gotten a fake ID, but I haven't needed one. I'm older, play pretty heavy, and dont play at casinos that give heat easily.
As an ex cop, getting a fake ID is OK. Just don't identify yourself to the police with it and you'll never have a problem. Remember though, the casino will identify you with that alias and your face, so does it really matter? They know you are a counter, real id or not.
Read books and learn how to play without being backed off.
The comps are really nice. I'm staying at a casino in ca the last 2 nights for free. My meals are free. I have gold card status and I've always walked away with a few thousand in my pocket from this particular casino. Read read read count count count read some more

Comps aren't worth it (unless you are a high roller), but having a players card could give you valuable information as to whether or not you're busted at sister properties before playing. You could even go to VIP services or the cage and request a card, but if they turn you down cuz you're flagged in the system, the casino might have you arrested (most of the time they simply kick you out).

I would say exactly the contrary.
A high roller has a bankroll that can provides such an EV that the expenses are almost irrelevant. No need for comps.
A low roller has to constantly monitor his expenses ratio (expenses/EV) before considering a playing opportunity. In regard to this situation, comps can cut a lot in expenses and make an opportunity worth it, an aopportunity that couldn't be exploitable without the comp system.
