Topic: Understanding Online Casino Bonuses (Read 438 times)

I agree. There are different wager requirements in different websites and thus you should gather all this information beforehand. It is mentioned clearly in rules section.

Then there are special bonuses on some exchanges as well. These are usually given for making the deposit through a particular payment option. One such payment option is Neteller and you can expect about 10% extra as bonus with this payment system.  One should read all rules to make best use of these options.

There are rules and regulations about the bonuses so people must read this to fully understand on how  bonuses works in online casinos. This is one way of attracting players and for sure something is hidden on this kind of advertisement. You win for sure in short run but expect to lose more money in the long run so better to be wise while playing with online casinos.

Its not necessary for you to ask support related to this matter because promotions would really have always terms and conditions attached with that unless if you cant find such information then thats the time you would really need to ask if you are hesitated on what would be the roll over requirement. Its not really confusing because terms can basically understand with just a simple reading.It isnt really hard.

Most deposit bonuses will be hard to achieve and if we don't read the term carefully we can have a misunderstanding too. It is better to ask the support if available before we try to get such bonus.

Obviously you need to deposit as here we are talking about deposit bonuses, not about no-deposit bonuses.


First deposit bonus is not given at the time of registration, as its name "first deposit bonus" so it is given at the time you make your first deposit.

Most of the users are confused regarding how these deposit bonuses work.

Suppose a website gave 200% first deposit bonus. This means that if you deposit $100, you will get additional $200. Thus, you get total $300 to play with. There are wagering requirements here as well. It means you have to play some games with that $100 and then the $200 bonus is released.

There might be additional requirements before you cash the bonuses.  For instance, you may be asked to make a deposit before withdrawing. Then you have to wager (play games worth some amount).

On most of the online casinos,  there are first deposit bonuses. As evident by the name, they are given one time at the time of registration.

Online casinos have many benefits in addition to bonuses. Primarily, it is quite easy to gamble on an online casino as you need just a computer and internet connection for that.

Online casinos are giving good competition to traditional casinos because of a number of reasons.  Bonuses offered by online casinos is one of them.

In addition to deposit bonus, there are some other types of bonuses as well.

Like there are on-going bonuses. This means that you are given bonuses from time to time. The purpose of these bonuses is to retain the current players. There are hidden conditions with these bonuses as well. In most of the cases, you are required to wager certain amount for these bonuses to be released.

I don’t want to get this thing intentionally but what I know is this business is just making harm to other people. We shouldn’t be doing working in a way that people get harmed from our work. This game is just about ruining the lives of people and we don’t have to do this. So better is to leave this online gambling business and adopt some respectable source of income other gambling.

Correct, they are not building a charity on here to be generous on giving out money into its players.If theres a bonus then expect it is already been part of their plan to make profits.It may turn out to be beneficial for us on our own view but most gamblers do failed out to see this thing which the actual purpose of these bonuses are just to lure in people into the site.When you already realize that bonuses are shit things when you lose up your money due you cant able to get out with the rollover.

I do love online casinos for the  depisit bonus,almost everyone of them give atleast 100%bonus some even up to 400% or 10btc, they usually  always require a deposit. Before the bonus though.

No casinos will be bankrupt because of such bonuses because they have calculated it very well to make it big -EV for players but make it look like a +EV for players using the high percentage bonuses. No casinos will be so generous to give free big bonuses without hard terms to be completed by players.

Although sportsbooks in the UK are an exception here, I've read in the past that people are even paying UK residents to make them accounts on those sportsbooks operating in the UK exactly because of what you said. I am not sure why it is easier to hit the bonus requirements in the UK than other countries but that's something we can say as an outlier here. Aside from what you stated, all bonuses are just something to trick people in believing they are going to get free money by betting.

If you receive a deposit bonus your withdrawal is normally being locked until you wager a certain amount and the amount is so huge in some cases that you will most likely lose your bonus and your deposit while trying to meet the wager requirement. But there are other bonuses, like free rolls for example, which I use regularly on different poker sites. Not saying that I make a lot of money with that, but at least I can play my favorite game without risking my money.

400% is very unreliastic, it's like you have to go with many obstacles before getting it for real. If most of the casino's will do it easily and are generous enough to offer more than you have deposited, all of them will be bankrupt.
What others said are correct and true, there's a hidden condition on it.

Of course there will always be hidden conditions and the main thing about the bonuses is to keep enticing the young soul into gambling. Most of the time, the condition is to gamble it and wager a certain amount before you can even withdraw it if I am correct and the more you keep doing that and expecting to win, you will keep giving the platform more money to run their business. That is absolutely the way I see it anyway as someone else may see it otherwise.

I agree to this, one should do all research. There are some precautions to take with the online casino bonuses as well. First of all, you should not join a particular casino only because it offers the highest bonus. You need to compare other features as well like the credibility of the casino. If you were offered 500% bonus by a new casino and then cheated by them with the deposited money, it will not feel nice for sure. Thus, make sure you have done proper research about the casino (like reading reviews) before getting tempted by the bonuses offered there.

Well If you deposit with a small capital my suggestion to use this bonus but there must be a requirement be able to draw right by what people say,this bonus is tempting but many of the players who can't reach the requirements of the number of rounds or wagered.I often use such bonuses in the casino but I can't take my winning result cause it has not reached the number of rounds or wagered,except for the now missing site that I respect and I admire there I can reach the number of rounds with an easy game at michelle Everyone knows that.

When something is free, that will never be helping you as a blast. You can take that as a complementary thing but you can never ever relay on it. Think before doing something. If these faucets are being used in trading as demo trading or something like it just because you don’t have enough money so that is good. Go with it. But if they are being used in gambling, please review your decision.

I will be completely honest here. I thought those bonuses were great, but I didn't manage to clear any single one of them. Their rollover is usually just to big and impossible to fulfill. I ended up quitting on those bonuses, and I even forfeit them because sometimes they do not allow me to withdraw any of my winnings until I achieve their requirements, and that would probably end up costing my profits.

I do hear a lot of users saying how great these things are, and how they can actually make money form them, but I simply don't understand how that is possible.

I've seen such websites. I believe it's mostly the new casinos trying to attract people. They are asking you to deposit some money and then get a bonus for doing so. The problem is that usually you can't be sure whether it's a scam or not, because everyone's waiting for someone to do that and confirm that the bonus is there. Another trick casinos often do is making these bonuses unable to withdraw. I've once registered for free on some new lottery website and they gave me the amount of their tokens which costs around $100 according to the owners. But the trick is that you can only spend this money in the casino, thus giving it all back and then probably depositing your own money once you got used to gambling there. Smart move, but I suggest not to go for such things and use trusted casinos for gambling.

they can give big bonuses to new player since they know that not all people that can win the games in all day so they do this to attract more people to come to their site and play their games. while they played, they can spend more money because they can curious with the games and this will make them stay in the site for a longer time. and if so many people playing gambling on their site, in one day, they will make a big profit because many people will deposit much money to their site to continue to play the games.

When they offered a free bonus its always comes with conditions and terms, so you should read carefully, and usually if they offered a bonus you need to wager huge amount before you able to withdraw, and they set the term and conditions so no one could abuse the bonus, I dont have a good experience regarding to bonus, because the wager is so big with limited time

We knew it is a type of marketing strategy for us who tried it before, we are not buying with these bonuses anymore.

There's some bonuses that are encouraging but you have to assess yourself if you can reach those qualifications that they are asking.

of course it is a marketing strategy to attract online casino users to new products will be more bonus or small gift as a lure to increase the volume of usage.

Never heard of such as well and the closest to it, was faucets like you have said. However, all these things are basically not something anyone should be relying on even if they want to gamble. Firstly, faucets will not even give you something pretty much to gamble with and even such bonuses are available, you will need to certainly do some things related to gambling to be able to redeem it, which most of the time, we always know what the outcome usually end up as.

There's nothing much to understand simple way is don't fall for it if you see a online casino promo there is always a cancel option just click on that because if you read the terms they normally want you to wager that amount some 500% time so that you can unlock the bonus it's just a trick so that the site can profit more

I'm done with those "bonuses" as part of their marketing.

I really thought that it's easy to claim those bonuses but as mentioned above, you have to read the terms carefully and the content inside it.

I've tried these types of bonuses before and all I can say is don't take it if you still want to withdraw once you start winning because it's likely that you won't reach the rollover requirement. You'll have better gambling experiences by avoiding these deposit bonuses.

It depends on the games that are available most of these bonuses are only available for slots. I remember getting a cashout bonus once with a low rollover 5-10x I couldn't even reach it because of how low the win rate is on slots.

I outright refuse to accept any bonuses that have any sort of rollover requirements.
I see it as false advertising and a sure way to eventually get addicted to gambling.

Sure, some people might eventually win something after they're very lucky, but in the meantime you're still gambling and probably not noticing that you're slowly getting addicted.

I would only play a bonus if there were no strings attached.

He really should be doing that which I believe a lot of people always find very hard to read until they deposit and then they start seeing the handwriting on the wall. There is absolutely no online casino that would give anyone $100 for free otherwise they would have been wrecked by now.

Plus, there is absolutely no way they are not going to be getting that money back as the sole purpose is to draw new and wannabe gamblers to try out their platform which at the end of the day will end up joining the league of those losing their money to casino like some of us once did.

Most of the online gambling sites who give bonuses, are just false advertisements, because with so many online gambling sites these days they need something to get the attention of the user, bonuses are either small compared to your deposit or, they give you bonuses that you are unable to withdraw, nearly all the gambling sites that i have tried don't give you bonuses for nothing, there has to be a trick behind it, which is useless.

Absolutely true for the most parts. Especially on those casinos that offer slots (thanks to the extremely high edges on slots) - this is where you find those impossible to believe bonuses of 200% to 500% even. All the rollover requirements end up putting you in tough -EV positions that really do require you to be extremely lucky, or play really long streaks of microbetting.

I will say though, that a lot of fiat casinos online have good bonuses for first-time players and made a modest sum 3 years ago when I started opening accounts on a lot of UK bookies like Betfair. The bonuses were either free wagers or enhanced odds (I always went for the latter)... when Liverpool had their good run in the Europa League I won a series of x20 bets on each win. Rolled over the free wagers and won back real money.

In the end, what serves you long term are the best odds (which is why I stick to my sportsbooks) and cashback programmes.

I do not really like the bonuses offered by casinos. because the bonus sometimes does not give luck to the gambling we do. Forever gambling, I am not dying to take any bonus offer from casino

I like the idea of Bonuses in Casinos and it can be a double edged sword generally. The positives is that you get more coins to bet with and to stay in the game for longer but the downside is that you will have to generally make bets about 5-10x the bonus amount to have a realistic chance to cashing it out. Casino's strategy is basically to make you get used to their casino and play there long enough so that it becomes a part of your daily activity and you deposit again incase you lose. My experience regarding casinos have generally been great. I am usually not the first batch of people to try a new casino. I usually join them based on their reviews along with the bonuses they provide. Once Ive rolled over the amount or lost, I move on to the next casino. Once ive tried 4-5 casinos, I see what suits me better and then continue with it.

Bonuses are actually honey pots. They are not there to be given out for free. The terms and conditions on those bonuses are quite hard to reach and in the end you will actually just lose everything before you even get the bonus. That is why bonuses on gambling sites feel scammy, because it is almost impossible to get the bonus anyway, they just make you want to bet more and more without realizing that the fact is that it is next to impossible to do the roll over requirement.

I got your point which is actually correct.The thing you can able to gain here when you are on a bonus where you can extent the way you bet since you do have that amount add up where you can really make aggressive play and would able to enjoy the game because of that.If you are playing gambling without really minding too much on how to profit then these things wont really be an issue for you if you would able to completely wager or not as long you do enjoy on playing.As a gambler its still our own choice if we do engage or not into these promotions as long we are aware into its requirements its your choice.

There are also legitimate bonuses on some smaller online casinos that don't have strings attached to them as well, but they are usually small bonuses and aren't going to be worth your time.

If you've got a good following of people or just have the means to do so, you could also try using the affiliate system of an online casino to turn a quick buck. It's not really a bonus, but if you have the time, it's possible to make quite a bit of money with affiliate systems, and you're not going to lose money doing so.

I think there are no good bonuses, in my opinion Yes you get all the 100% and even 400% but add in all the wager requirements as mentioned and most of the time you will crash out before you cash out.

What I do find good is loyalty programs that online casinos seem better at doing (or should I say online crypto) than offline. I mean, where else do you get cash back or increased free money (faucet)?

Most times when gambling sites post bonuses, there is always a small worded sentence "Terms and conditions apply" which a lot of people don't bother to read and deposit only to start shouting scam when they could not have unrestricted access to what they initially had in mind. I can relate with this from the experience of a friend who was promised deposit bonus and decide to try it out with the intention that when he made the deposits and get the bonus, he can withdraw the original deposit then continue playing with his bonus whether he lost or not, it does not matter.

Unfortunately, when he could not withdraw and started writing support, before it was explained to him that he will only be able to withdraw his winnings from amount wagered on the initial deposit which is going to happen, after he must have exhausted the bonus while the winnings from the bonus will have to stay for a minimum of 30 days. These are common for gambling sides and its important to read it through before going ahead to deposit.

In most cases its wager requirement and you are not able to play all games, mostly ones with jackpots. As a person who gamble a lot I tried this bonuses many times, its hard to be accurate how many times exactly, maybe more then 100 times, in all that less 20% I got to profit. I had so many wins and couple times I won more then 1 btc in single spin. I can make little tutorial how many nights I spent gambling like crazy, I deposit 200 dollars on 200% first bonus and I have 600 dollars. Believe it or not some bonuses I finished in less then 7 hours, if you are gambler you can imagine how agresive I played to pass requirements in that time.
There are to ways to make it until the end of requirements, first is slow, patience and control for playing with minimal bets and just occasionally rising bets. Second is aggressive play with pushing all the time, couple bad rolls next are more then tripled, if you are lucky to win something big fulfilling requirements can be an easy thing.
I still gamble with bonuses, not so much like before, but when site is new they offer low rollovers and I like to use that advantage.
In the end gambling should be fun, with bonus you get more money so you can try to risk it and with some aggressive gambling and luck you can win some big amount and have great gambling evening.

its always gonna have a heavy requirement if they dont put a heavy requirement they would lose alot of money then gamblers will take advantage of it and gamblers will earn more more than the casino makes. if they keep making bonuses that means many gamblers fall for these bonuses and casino is just keep making alot of money its a easy cash grab for them.

This is basically what keeps me away from casino bonuses as a whole- it's always going to have strings attached like an enormous wager requirement, and 99% of your time it's not even worth reading the fine print to figure things out. I prefer to stick with sites I know and trust and stay away from bonuses- they're made to be an easy and profitable way to lure people in anyhow.

Even if it's not a wager requirement, you can be assured the casino is going to do everything in their power to prevent you from getting any of your money out. Remember, you're not supposed to win here. The casino is.

You would really be surprised and might end up get discouraged on reaching out that rollover or you will stress out on how you would gonna do that. Most of them do need 30-40x wager requirement for you to able to cashout thats why every promotion comes out into any sites i do usually check out their wager requirement.If it turns out to be achievable then i might consider to give a shot.

Casino bonuses has wagering requirement which is hard to complete, once you take the bonus then your balance will be locked until you complete the wagering requirement or you cancel the bonus with a consequence if you cancel the bonus the all winnings will be forfeited.
I do not really like this kind of bonuses, but I have tried it in some casinos and I was so unlucky to complete the requirement before I lose all the balance+bonus.


THIS!!!
Read the full terms first before taking any bonuses.

You better read the fine text and see what the rollover requirements are before making any deposits otherwise you might be awfully surprised.

I never heard that have in that kind of online casino giving on that bonuses, most likely they only have a faucet when you try playing on that gambling site. Well, that's good gambling site you may share here on which gambling site on that?
Or the disadvantage on that site has a big minimum of withdrawals which I personally hate on that kind of site.

What I like the most about the online casinos is the bonuses they offer. They offer bonuses up to 400%. This means for $25 deposited, you get $100 as a bonus. However, there are various hidden conditions and also there are some other types of bonuses. What is your opinion and experience related to online casino bonuses ?
