A topic chewed a spit literally
thousands of times is the bonuses
offered by the online casinos for
new players. As one may expect,
there are two camps in this fight -
the one says bonuses should always
be taken advantage of, while the
other urges people to avoid getting
the free money, since they come with
wagering requirements attached. So
which one is the best attitude for
the online casino bonuses?
Naturally, the truth lays somewhere
in between.
It's
clear that you should not jump
blindly at any bonus offered by the
online casinos, nor you should avoid
every chance of getting some free
money. It's all about doing your
research at the online casino
website before making a decision
whether you should take or avoid the
bonus. First, check to see the
percentage of your deposit the
casino will give you as a bonus.
Many online casinos advertise
bonuses in dollar amounts, but they
are actually allocated to the
players as a percentage of your
first deposit. Anything 100% and
over on your first deposit is a good
bonus. The next variable that you
must pay attention is the
play-through requirements. The
online casinos will give you a lot
of free money, but they come with
strings attached - you need to wager
the bonus+deposit a certain number
of times before you can withdraw
your winnings. Those vary from 15%
to 25%, but anything higher should
be avoided. Also very important -
make sure that the bonus could be
withdrawn. What we mean - make sure
that the free money the online
casinos give you are available for
withdrawal after you have met the
wagering requirements. Some online
casinos will subtract the bonus
amount from your total withdrawal
and pay you the rest - avoid this
type of bonus.
Keep
in mind, just because the bonus
offer at an online casino is not
worth of taking advantage, it
doesn't mean the casino is bad. Just
forgo the bonus and play for real
money as you would at the offline
casinos.
