online casinos world - casino bonus offers
There are several types of casino bonuses, of which the terms and
conditions may vary slightly from casino to casino. The most
important thing to keep in mind anytime you accept a bonus
is that you must follow the guidelines set for that bonus
exactly. Many players have found out the hard way that you
can't just rush into this blindly. This is not to say that
bonuses are a bad thing. Like most "free" things, there are
terms and conditions which must be met. Free cash bonuses are a great way
for new players to get a chance to experience a casino
with some more padding on the bankroll, thus allowing for
more room to survive a losing streak, and of course, to take
advantage of a winning streak. As far as online casinos are
concerned, bonuses are a means of attracting new players and
giving incentive to regularly gamble. Reload bonuses are also used to reward
depositing players for their return business.
No deposit bonuses are probably the most widely
sought after of all the different bonuses, because they are
the closest to "free" as you can get. They are usually for
smaller amounts (oftentimes no more than $20), and although do
not require you to make a cash deposit, have terms that give
you incentive to deposit more money. Playthrough requirements, game limits and
withdrawal amounts may apply, but not always, so be sure to read the terms
of the bonus and/or check with customer service via email.
Match deposit bonuses simply give you twice as much
to gamble with. A true match deposit bonus is 100% of your deposit.
For example, if you deposit $100, you will be able to play
with $200. Many online casinos loosely use the term "Match
Deposit", which is why you might see a match bonus advertised
as 50% or even 150%. Again, a true match bonus is 100%. Match
bonuses are given
to new players with some conditions set on using them.
First, you must play the allowed games. Most online casinos will
restrict certain games from being played while a bonus is
being used, which are usually the most strategic games - Blackjack, Craps and Roulette.
Again, check with the casino because some will vary on the
restricted games. Second, there is a play-through
requirement that must be met before you cash out any of your
winnings. This means, if you get $25 in free cash from the
casino and they require that you play it a minimum of 10
times, you must wager $250 in bets before asking to cash out.
Also, there
may be a limit on how much you can cash out on this free
money. It's all required to be listed in the terms and
conditions, so be sure you read them.
Percentage bonuses will give you a specified
percentage of your deposit, in free money. For example, if
you deposit $100 and the percentage bonus is for 75%, then
you will get $75 free to play on top of your deposit. The
same terms and conditions that cover true match bonuses are
generally the same for percentage bonuses, i.e., play-through
requirements, max cash out, time restrictions.
Alternative deposit bonuses are a casino's way of
rewarding you for using one of their preferred banking
methods to make your deposit. They will list their preferred
methods on their promotions page at their website and in the
casino cashier.
Although the amount of these bonuses will vary between
deposit methods, most are 10% - 15% of your deposit. Again, terms and conditions may apply.
Another way that online casinos like to reward their loyal
players are by giving comps or comp points. Comps are earned by simply
playing and wagering in the casino. For every dollar you
wager, you earn points. When your points reach a
predetermined amount, you can cash them in for money to play
in the casino.
We hope this bonus information is helpful and that you have
the best of luck while gambling online. |
