Casino Bonuses

Casino Bonuses are pretty much exclusive to online casinos as opposed to land based casinos which sometimes offer comps to their players. These bonuses are a way for online casinos to welcome you to the casino, reward you for your first deposit and a way to make you want to come back for more. They often give returning players bonuses or incentives for subsequent deposits and have designed a comp system that gives you 'cash back' for continued play. Each casino will set it's own requirements for bonuses such as play through requirements. These set a certain amount that you must play your bonus before requesting a cash out. They may also set rules for the games you can play to meet your play through requirements. Some disallow play on Blackjack or Roulette for instance, while others may require that you play only slot games until the required play through has been met. At that time you are free to play other games. Understanding the differences in the bonuses you'll find at online casinos is key to making the most of your experiences. Sites like Online Casino Suite offer a more detailed breakdown if how casino bonus money really works, but we think our review below will cover you.

No Deposit Bonuses : These are bonuses that are offered by the casinos that allow you to come in and play the casino games without having to deposit any of your own money. Pretty simple. Most of the time, you will be restricted as to which games you can play, have higher than normal wagering requirements and be limited on how much you can withdraw, if anything at all. Sometimes casinos will let you keep a certain amount of your winnings that you must in turn use in the casino. If this is the case, you will need to meet additional wagering requirements and will be able to cash out a bit more of your winnings than in the original no deposit rules. It might sound a bit too restrictive but in actuality it is designed to discourage bonus hunters from trying to find ways to take advantage of these offers. The casinos that will allow you to withdraw your winnings, do cap the amount.

Deposit Bonuses : These are possibly the most common types of bonuses and again will vary the terms on how the bonus must be played. For example, if a casino offers you a 50% Deposit Bonus and you deposit $100, you will have $150 to play the games with. Most casinos will add the bonus right away, others will add the bonus after you have played through all of your deposit. Game restrictions will apply so check with the casino or read the bonus terms and conditions. If you are ever in doubt, don't waste time and money trying to figure out where you stand, contact customer support and they will be able to verify your requirements and where you stand in meeting them. Other bonuses may entice you with a bonus that is greater than your deposit, for instance a 150% or 200% Deposit Bonus.

Match Deposit Bonuses : These bonuses equal the amount of your deposit. These are pretty common too and act to extend your play time, attract new depositors and also are offered at times to players who already have an account at a casino in order to keep them playing or bring them back to the casino.

High Roller Bonuses : A High Roller is a player that regularly deposits and plays large amounts of money. How large? That of course varies from person to person but in general, it could mean a minimum of $1000 up to $5000. The High Roller Bonus offers these players a generous deposit bonus but it is rarely one that matches or exceeds their deposit. To make up for this fact, the wagering requirements are often lowered.

In order to claim your bonuses you must view and follow the terms and conditions listed on the casino website. What you can expect from each casino will vary from slightly to greatly on the process they use. Some casinos add your bonus right away without upon your deposit and you don't have to do a thing. Others require that you make your deposit, then contact customer support to have them verify that your deposit has been made, they will then manually add your deposit to your casino account. RTG Casinos mostly, have a section in the casino cashier where you are to submit a bonus code to claim your deposit.

Playthrough Requirements : The playthrough requirements ask that you play through your deposit plus bonus a minimum amount of times before you request a cash out. Again this will vary by casino. But you must pay close attention to the terms of each type of bonus to save yourself some possible let down in the future. The casinos do no design these terms in a way that will cheat you. They have in fact learned from trial and error, the best ways to set up their free money promotions. In the old days, casinos would give everyone who came to their casino huge bonuses, $50, $100 or more with no playthrough requirements and no cash out limits. Many people headed to the casinos, claimed the money and cashed out, never to return. Or, they would open multiple accounts and claim the money as many times as they could get away with before being caught by the casino. If you cheat the casino, you will be banned. And word does get around. Cheat one, it's likely you will never be able to play at any of the reputable casinos.

Game Restrictions : Game restrictions are in place and usually bar you from playing certain games that have a higher than usual payout percentage, keeping the house edge. Again, this is not designed to cheat you or keep you from playing on your favorite games. For example, if 10 people claimed the bonus and all of them headed to the Blackjack Tables or Roulette, there is a great chance of the playthrough being met much faster than at games that are not restricted.
