If you enjoy a relaxing 15 minutes
playing at an online casino you will have noticed that there are many casinos
out there advertising great offers for you to sign-up and it makes sense to
consider trying a new operator if they are going to give you some money to
become a member. There will also be continued promises of future added money
should you reload, or top-up your account with extra funds, in the future. It
is however important you understand what the conditions of the bonuses are
because you will be signing a contract to get them, and the contract will have
multiple rules.
No Wagering
Offers
There a growing number of casinos advertising no-wagering
sign-ups, meaning that when you take the
casino welcome offer
you are not committed to a lot of gambling with your deposit and bonus funds to
qualify to keep the money they put into your account. These are great but they
all have fair play rules, meaning you have to act like a real customer and not
just bet Red and Black on the same roulette wheel to pretend that you a player,
and anyway it might come up Green! Its not worth it, just play
normally.
Most of the time however the you will see 100% or even 200%
sign-up bonuses on offer that come with lots of conditions.
Must Wager Requirements
When you see
wagering requirements are set you have to complete them to be able to withdraw
any money. If you withdraw before reaching the stated amount you lose all the
bonus, not just part of it. These must-wager rules mean you will have to gamble
from 10 to 100 times your deposit to retain bonus money they put into your
account.
• Check exactly how much - some
site rules will say 25x wagering is required and mostly they mean your deposit
plus your bonus together. So if you deposit £100 then you have to bet
(100+100) x 25, or £5,000!
• Check
which games qualify - nearly all casinos we have seen will also stipulate in
the Ts & Cs that the only game that counts a full bet for the purpose of
adding up how much you have played is slots. This means all the money you bet
on roulette counts for nothing towards it or a precentage of the bet you place,
like 25%. This is the same for blackjack and all low
house edge games you find in the
casinos.
Check which sites the
operator owns or is partner of
This is quite important. Many
sites have partner sites which are basically identical except the name and
branding. This means they will have a clause which states they will only give
you one bonus across all sites. BUT they are unlikely to tell you this until
the event happens that you qualify for the bonus and then they will refuse to
pay you and any winnings from the bonus money. Seems wrong but they can do it.
Avoid this!
Check anyone else at your
address has already played for the bonus
Sounds strange but if
some else has already been through the bonus aquiring process at your address
they can do the same as above, take your bonus and any associated winnings from
the bonus away. Seems unfair but you don't want to get caught out.
Don't deposit with e-wallets
Using
PayPal, Skrill or others including crypto-currencies to open your account or
reload will not get you any of the bonuses.
Don't Cancel unless you have to
Any cancellation
before the bonus conditions have been met will not only forfeit your bonus but
also any money won with bonus funds. Of course if you have run out of money in
the account and want to stop then don't go chasing the result by adding
more.
Be aware of the time
limits
All bonuses come with a period of time you have to
complete within. It all forfeits if you don't make it. They run from 14-30 days
typically. Again don't press with money you do not want to just to meet the
deadline.
Decline the Bonus if you
are just playing casually
If you are sensibly wary of the
conditions of the bonus and think they might tempt to gamble too much then just
locate the tick box on sign-up to say you do not want to be part of the bonus
contract. This can save a lot of headache when you have winnings that they then
take away because you had not realised that you were in a “bonus”
contract.
Play at an Online Casino
with a license
Don't take chances with a glossy looking website
that has a name that might seem familiar. There are plenty of legit operators
with online casinos that gives you some level of protection. First thing to do
is look at the bottom of the Home Page. All legit operators have details about
their license there. If in doubt check with the
UKGC website for licensed onlince casino
operators. |
