Online Gambling Casino Bonuses
Casino Bonuses
There are various types of bonuses available at the different online casinos which often lead to misunderstandings, confusion and unnecessary stress if you do not understand what they are. Here I will try to briefly explain the different types of bonuses to you.All bonuses will have a playthrough requirement before you can cash out any winnings, so make sure you know what this is and which games are allowed and which are not.
No Deposit Bonus
This is the simplest of all the bonuses. All you need to do is register a real players account at the casino offering this bonus, and you will receive the money. YOu do not have to make a deposit to receive it. Sometimes it will be automatically credited to your account and sometimes you will need to claim the bonus via email or a submission form on their website. But essentially it is very simple.
There may be limitations on this bonus at the different casinos, but you must make sure you read their terms and conditions and make sure you understand the rules. One of the limitaions may include things like a maximum amount you may withdraw using this bonus. Also, some casinos may not have this cap, but yould require you to make a token deposit before withdrawing your winnings.
Match Bonus
This is a bonus you receive when you make a deposit at a casino. They will match your deposit with a certain percentage of your total deposit. For example; A casino offers you a 100% match bonus up to $200. This means that they will give you 100% in free money on any deposit amount you make up to $200. ie. You deposit $100 and you will receive another $100 in bonus money, making your bankroll $200 or you deposit $150, you will get an extra $150 which will then total up to $300.
This bonus is usually used for new players who make their very first deposit at an online casino. The factor that one usually takes note of with these bonuses is the percentage amount to work out the value you get for your money.
Sign Up Bonus
This is a first deposit bonus where you know what you are getting irrelevant of the amount you deposit. An example would be if a casino offers you free $80 if you deposit at least $20. That will give you a bankroll of $100 to play with. But if you deposit $50, you still only get $80. Again, this is a mathematics thing. If you compare it to the match bonus of a different casino, you may find that by depositing the $20, you get more for your money. Here it would mean that you get 400%.
So, before you dismiss a casino that offers you a bonus which initially appears to be low, make sure you work out what that would mean if you make the minimum deposit required.
