Topic: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? - page 13. (Read 2425 times)

From my personal experience while in the gambling industry and using several sites I have never seen a wagering requirement for Rakeback or Cashback as these bonuses are given as a small return to gamblers who use their money to stake something on the gambling site.
If indeed the bonus is given betting requirements it is an inappropriate policy because all casinos have this bonus and it applies to all users without any conditions.
By the way, if there really is a gambling site that uses the requirements for the bonus, please provide clarity here about the site so we can consider whether to play there.

In principle, most people do not read the terms and conditions, and see only the word "Bonus" from the entire ad. As you correctly pointed out, the simpler the bonus terms are, the more of those who do read the terms will fulfill those terms to get the bonus.

Off course having a wagering requirements for reward such as cashback and takeback is truly a violation of players' right since those bonuses are earned through wagering activities and being subjected to any of such demand sound unrealistic and impossible unless in an extreme case.

Many casinos do not give wagering requirements on rewards that is earned through wagering such as cashback, rakeback, and rewards from tournament and wagering races.  But bonus from deposits is reasonable enough to give a mid-wagering requirement such as 10x to 20x but giving 40x and above wagering requirement is overkill IMO.



For those players who has experience and had learned from others always read the terms and rules of the said bonus.  Since there are lots of issues and problems that arises from not reading the terms, players are learning now that they always check the requirements and terms when there is new bonus announcement.


Aside from the monthly bonus Stake also have challenges and weekly bonus that coincide with the weekly code drop.  I also agree that bonuses should be viewed as a gift from the platform in return for our continuous patronage of their service.

I must confess that every month when I open my email and I see the email from stake.com with the following title: " Slowdeath00, monthly bonus + win 25k! ". on that day of the month my day is much happier, so I open the email and see: Claim every day for five days

"Claim your Monthly Bonus below!"

I already know that it is 5 days to claim my bonus, and it is 5 days that I will be making multibet bets, definitely stake.com is the best casino in this industry and this is the best bonus for me in my opinion, obviously that bonus is not profit, It's not something that people should think it should be a lot of money to recover losses, bonus should not be seen that way, bonus should be seen as a gift that the casino is giving to the players and the players will be able to play more. Why do I see the monthly bonus as the best? answer: in the monthly bonus I don't need to meet any requirement to be able to withdraw the monthly bonus, all I need to do is continue playing at the casino normally

it is very different from these other bonuses in that it has requirements that most of the time end up being very high requirements and difficult for small players, so there is no point in winning 200$ of bonus and having to fulfill 5X of positions to be able to withdraw the bonus, it is much better earn 5$ or 10$ of monthly bonus because at least the person can withdraw the 5$ or 10$ or even can take and make a multibet bet and if he wins later withdraws everything and wins a lot. That's why I don't understand why some people keep complaining about the value of the weekly and monthly bonus

My friend wagering requirement is a must in every licensed casinos and even if not on bonuses,  your deposits are also subject to 1x or more in some cases,  and let alone when you claim bonuses the wager may go as high as 15x to 25x in some cases.

I don't think there is any casino who is license that offer a 0x wager and this is to prevent casinos being use for money laundering by means of using the casino to mixed stolen funds,  so that is the reason why there are wager requirements every now and then.

^ Definitely right and it is true that many gamblers, especially newbies, may overlook the importance of reading and understanding the terms and conditions of bonuses before claiming them probably due to laziness. Just because of attractive banners advertising high percentage bonuses can be tempting, as it gives the impression of having more money to play with. However, be aware that bonuses come with rules and requirements, it is not uncommon for people, including myself when I was a newbie, to find themselves in a similar situation when they first deposit and claim a bonus. Taking the time to thoroughly understand the terms can help avoid any potential surprises or disappointments later on.

Its understandable that they would be putting up those requirements, what if there's none? For sure they would be flocked out by those bonus abusers and would be milking out the site as much as possible.
This is why they would normally be putting up those requirements, its a business and not a charity which it would be normal that they would really be needing to reach up such threshold. Lots of things
needs to be done first before you could be able to make withdrawal out of those bonuses or whatever perks that t hey are really giving.

Imagine that even simply with deposited credited which it does need x2 or more, how much more on having that deposit bonuses and other promotions?

I think it's reasonable for casinos to have a wagering requirement for any bonus that they provide no matter what kind of a bonus it is. It would be strange only if the casino requires a high wagering requirement for the money that gamblers deposit on the platform which is insane because a platform shouldn't have a wagering requirement of at least 1x in general.

Most players don't bother reading the terms and conditions of either the bonuses or the platform in general, and that is the reason why they face problems later on when they can't withdraw funds or anything that they might try to do but can't.

I believe there are still some gamblers who dont bother to read and understand the whole terms of bonuses before they decide to take/claim it. Most of them are newbies who have just started their gambling journey, maybe because they are attracted with a big banner like "100%-200% welcome bonus" so they think they will have more money to play (which is correct) but they have no idea that there are some rules behind the bonus. I will not deny the fact that I was in this situation when I was a newbie long time ago, when I made my first deposit ever in online casino and I claimed a 100% deposit bonus.

The question is,  do we really have those classes of gamblers who never read the TOS of casinos but want to claim bonuses,  this is something I find hard to believe and for some reason, I will say those sets of gamblers are deliberately doing that just to call out the casino unnecessarily.

But on a personal note,  the reason why I avoid bonuses is due to it wager requirement and the tendency to lose my winning trying to meet up with the wager requirements.

^ The reason could be some gamblers may consider them a trap if they overlook or fail to fully understand those terms. Because this is very important to look at first, go to the TOS and read them all to understand everything. Because usually in TOS, wagering requirements are a common practice in the gambling industry, serving as a means for casinos to protect their interests and ensure fair play. These requirements typically outline the number of times a bonus amount or winnings must be wagered before they can be withdrawn just because they can be abused by many gamblers.

I did not mention that bonuses with wagering requirements are trapped in any way but I was just trying to point out the limitation to some players using bonuses since it comes with high wager requirements,  there is no doubt that bonuses terms and conditions are always mentioned,  but then just as you rightly said it only becomes a trap for those who don't border to read bonus terms and conditions before jumping on them.

Unlike me personally,  I dislike any form of bonus since I know there are always accompanied by wager requirements that can be sometimes unbearable.

You are obviously expecting too much, and it is literally not possible for any platform to give bonuses with a wagering requirement of just 1x. Most platforms would have a wagering requirement of 1x or maybe more for the money that you've deposited yourself, and for the bonus that you get on top of it, the wagering requirement will obviously be higher.

Such bonuses will be counterproductive for the platform since many people will easily complete a 1x wagering requirement with the bonus and then everyone will start claiming and withdrawing the bonus in no time.

Those rewards are giving all opportunities in gamblers in cashback sometimes the casino does not bring a huge of it until you always deposit a huge amount this is suitable, in free spins there's a chance that you could hit a bonus because the number of spins but still it depends on your number of depends both rewards can give an extra number of chance to the gambler. Depends on the preferences.

This kind of reward is a very lucrative idea on the gamblers e d because at the end, they don't loose everything, tis can also be adopted by those who think they can make use of higher stake amount to gambles, the risk taken here could be minimal unlike loosing the entire money completely when they loose the game


Anything that has to do with bonus turn on some gamblers because they love the conditions that places them on chances of earning without using their personal money.

I prefer cashback at least you don't get to lose all 😀.
I love free spin. A free bet every month wouldn't be a bad idea.

Bonuses with wagering requirement is not a trap because all the terms for the bonuses is mentioned clearly. It is a trap for those who do not read the terms only. If gamblers read the terms before taking the bonuses, it cant be called as a trap or gamblers call it as a trap because they do not understand the terms. Anyway not all bonuses comes with wagering requirement, there are many other bonuses/rewards that can be achieved due to our gambling activity and it comes with zero wagering requirement but of course in order to get the these kind of bonus, you need to be an active gambler who wager regularly.

I want you to know that affiliate program is not a reward or bonus for anything, it is the what is worked for by gamblers or the person that is referring others to join the gambling platform. What that can regarded as rewards are the free spin, welcome bonus, rakeback, free matches and given of certain amount of money to be used for betting under certain conditions.
