I agree it's deceptive and yet it's still the popular way to invite gamblers to try their games, I seldom participate in deposit bonuses, because of the requirements, I prefer to deposit with no attachment of unusually high wagering requirements.
Only good if you want to try the platform without thinking of any profit and just want to play be entertained and let whatever happens, happen, I am more comfortable with that.
Maybe many gamblers have come to the conclusion that this is deceptive, but it's strange,
why are there still so many gamblers chasing this bonus?In my opinion, if we don't like one of the existing bonuses, it's better not to chase it without having to say that the bonus is unfair because after all, casinos are set up to do business, so it's only natural that there are a few things that make gamblers lose because of bonuses or promotions.
As in your last sentence, I agree with that and it is indeed better to choose a site that we can rely on for us to have fun without aiming to make a profit from a promotional bonus.
How do you know there are still many gamblers who are chasing for deposit bonus? Is there any valid source to see the statistic on how many players who take deposit bonus?
Maybe there were many gamblers took deposit bonus especially newbies but I dont think experienced gamblers are attracted to deposit bonus these days.
Even if there are still some gamblers who take deposit bonus, I'm sure most of them are newbies because they are not experienced enough and they are not fully aware about the consequences of taking deposit bonus.
I don't have the statistics too, but I think gamblers are always aiming for something extra.
Like in Stake.com, if you check the chatbox before the monthly bonus is given (a day or two), there are many gamblers who cannot wait for it to be given because they want to play more.
I don't also care about deposit bonuses, but if it is given as you start then why not. I would take it, I don't believe that it will just be taken back by the online casino just like that. There are games where it will rely on you on how you can win.
Let's say Crash Originals, if you ain't too greedy playing the game then profits can be made. I've done it, twice. But it's a game of patience and I don't think many gamblers are patient enough to play a game where you wait for the numbers rolling and then crash.
I believe desperation may also be the problem or we don't care too much about the money given because it's a bonus, so we squander it without thinking until we are using the real deposit amount. That's when we are careful.
