Using Your Online Casino Bonuses
 
 

 
Why Online Casino Bonuses?
Online casinos are giving away bonuses by the bucket load. Bonuses that can be used by players for their personal benefit. Casinos are using the bonuses for their own benefit and as methods to attract and retain players in the hugely competitive world of real money gambling. The idea is to actually look like they are giving real money to players in the same way that supermarkets offer products below their cost price to attract customers who might then spend on other items in the shop.

Different Types of Bonuses
Each casino uses the bonuses differently to try and look like they are offering something more than the next casino but in general they are going to work out the same.

The Deposit Bonus
This is one of the most common types of bonuses. In fact, it is one of the first bonuses that you will encounter at an online casino. It is most rewarding when it is used as a welcome bonus. The idea behind this bonus is that the casino operator will add money to your account that is a multiple of your first real money deposit. This can be as much as 400% of the deposited amount as a bonus. Remember there will restrictions of how to use this bonus and some casinos will not accept deposits from PayPal, Skrill or similar transfer methods.

No-Deposit Bonus
Other casinos want beat the deposit bonus and it is not uncommon for Canadian online casinos to give members no deposit bonuses. Here you don't have to deposit that any money for players to receive their credits. Often casinos use this bonus as part of the regular promotions to retain their existing players so you will be getting promotional emails from time to time highlighting their offers.

Free Spins Bonuses
The free spin is most probably now more popular than any other bonus because online casinos give them away with everything. Casinos use free spins to market a game. A Free Spin Bonus is the name given to one or many free spins of a slot machine reel without the player having to pay any money or toknes to do so. These are normally game specific bonuses and their will always be a limit on the amount of money the player can win. Also there will be time constraints so that you will have to play your free spins within a stated time period.

These bonuses can often appear as sign-up offerings but are also used constantly by operators as ongoing promotions for thier existing customers.

The Fine Print
Many of the bonuses that are offered at the casinos come with terms and conditions that affect how they are used and withdrawn. Sometimes they restrict players to a certain game or a set of games. They all come with conditions of how to get achieve the bonus and it is very important for you to fully understand these before you accept the offer as it might require you wager more then you want to or take up time that you do not have.

It is now common practice at online casinos such as casinosdeutschland to place wagering requirements on the bonuses. This is to protect the casinos against players who want to just take the money and run which obviously makes no sense to the operator. Despite the wagering requirements many players still manage to start a bankroll from these bonuses. And they provide a great platform for learning new games and developing strategies.
