The Best Online Casino Bonuses
Carolyn
Bonus in the world of online gambling is the word that bells the sweetest in the ears of gamblers, because it equals money earned without any effort. Now, there are two main categories of bonuses one can mention: the so called sticky bonuses and the cashable ones. The first category is that type of bonus which you will receive but you can "use it up" only for placing your bets in different online games, and you won’t be able t actually turn it into cash, and it is there to help you improve your chances because the higher the bet the higher the chances. The second category of bonus is that type which you can actually turn into real money, but that will happen only after you have wagered a very large sum of money in that specific room. As seen, both types have advantages and disadvantages at the same time, and it is really a matter of principles which one will you choose as the best.
Actually, for finding the best, you can start by eliminating the worst out there. Here are a few rules, dos and don’ts which will definitely help you find the best online casino bonus:
No one will redirect you towards the best. You have to make your choices yourself, by making a lot of research.
Where you see 400%, 500% that’s too much to be true. The same goes for "guaranteed $2000". So, act in consequence: step to the next choice and analyze that too.
Make sure you find in the disclaimer section of the website the casino’s rules about making their payments. (I.e. how much do you have to wager in order to be able to withdraw some of your winnings).
Never rely on the testimonials you find on the website. These could be put there by just anybody, so go the so popular search engine and hit search for online discussion forums. There you will find the real stuff, true opinions from true users.
Best (highest) bonus is not a criterion. Websites powered by trustworthy software is a strong one.
Always think of bonus as a tool for attracting new customers. A reliable and reputable website will offer you a more "humble" sum of money as bonus, but that’s for real at least.
Hopefully, if you will constantly keep in mind the above little notifications, you will be able to make that separation, to make the distinction between a good and a bad bonus. Then, in order to find the best online casino bonus, you also have to make distinction between types of bonuses offered. The simplest, and most sought after is the no deposit bonus, where there is no need to make a deposit in order to play. A little bit tricky though, because you can actually ask for this type of bonus because you want to play free and to win; but, until you receive those so called free chips you can play with at online games, it will take forever, and that is their point; to get you on fire and being impatient so that you will in the meantime sign up for a game where you have to pay, because that will work faster. So, this type of bonus will be sadly cut off from the list, as it is mostly an illusion. Something similar to the no deposit bonus is the cash back bonus, which means if you play and loose, they will reimburse you a percentage of your money. For example, if you lost $100, and they advertise that there is a 30% cash back guaranteed, then you are supposed to receive $30 back, so you lost actually $70 and not $100. Yes, illusory as well, because this is a bonus you will be able to cash in rarer than once in a blue moon. The "refer-a- friend" bonus is one bonus that seems risk free, you just have to convince others too to sign up to this good (or not) casino; this could actually end up in making you conscience problems, if you see what I mean. However, it may happen that it brings you good profit, but you should make use of this option only when you are really experienced, and you yourself trust the whole system, and so you won’t lead your friends cheatingly. Don’t wait for cashing in astronomical amounts, but somewhere up to $40 is what you should expect/ friend. As everything is conditional nowadays, that friend which you invite will first have to wager say $100, so that you can receive your little bonus. You see, nothing is what it seems at first sight, because it is not enough that the respective player will sign up, he also has to take action and make deposits.
The percentage bonus is the one which has more positive features, as this is the type of bonus which will offer you some free chips you can play with, depending on the sum you deposited. For example, if you deposit $100, and they advertise that the percentage bonus is of 40% that means you will receive free chips worth of $40 to gamble with. After all, you signed up because you want to play, so if you find this bonus somewhere you can trust it and start making your bets. The fixed rate bonus is again something similar to the percentage bonus, because here you will receive free chips according to the sum you deposited. Rare, but not inexistent, are the voting bonuses, which simply means that you will receive an amount of money (usually small), to vote for the respective website. This smells of sabotage, but it is not of the most dangerous type, so for a few chips more you can do this. Last, but not least, depending on what you use to make your deposit with - credit card or e-wallet option - there exists what is called the special deposits method bonuses. This type of bonus will actually reward you if you use as a deposit method your e-wallet account (which was certainly "fueled" by your credit card). Best known and most popular such e-wallets are the NeTeller, Moneybookers, and also Click2Pay. Whichever method you choose, don’t let yourself be constrained because you are the one who has to feel comfortable when playing in an online casino, but especially when it comes to making deposits.
