Bonuses and Why Do Casinos Offer Them?
nline casino bonuses are the casino's way of

money sometimes its a 10 or 15 chip (which
seems reasonable) and sometimes the offer is for
something outrageous like 3000 free.

offers. This is especially true if youre used

everything about casino bonuses. Its geared for
novice players and veteran players alike. After

Secrets The Online Casino Industry The
online casino games industry is all about
competition, not for players, but for the
casinos themselves. The market is saturated with
so many different online casinos that each
casino has to provide an attractive offer to
entice you to join. The good news as a player,
you get to choose the best bonus out there. The
bad news its not always clear what exactly
that best bonus is. (But thats where we come
in and if youve downloaded this eBook It means
that in a few short minutes, youll be able to
decipher for yourself so youre already way ahead
of the game!!!) Just the same as with
land-based casinos, where each casino
has different incentives (free chips,
meal vouchers, tickets and attractions) to get
you to stay with them, in the online world, its
all about casino bonus offers because cash is
the easiest thing for casinos to offer you
hands down. As we talked about earlier,
online casino bonuses are an incentive used by
casinos to encourage players to spend time and
money on their website. Similar to a coupon
or discount code that you would receive at a
store, casino bonuses give you the opportunity to
play with the casinos own cash, within certain
rules and limitations. These bonuses have become
so standard in the industry that it is unlikely
that you will land on a site without some sort of
bonus offer

screen. With the massive variety of bonuses all
over the web, it is easy to get confused and
feel overwhelmed. Just as casinos have become
wise to the fact that they have to offer a
selection of bonuses to attract players, it is
important that you educate yourself about what is
really being made available to you. Understanding
the various types of bonuses and their
conditions will enable you to make the best
choices on where and how to play. Written by
industry experts, this guide will help you
decipher the different types of bonuses
and wagering requirements, ensuring that you
become a more informed, skilled and

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Chapter 2 Is Bonus Money Real
Cash?
efore we get into the different types of bonuses,
the most important point to clarify when it comes
to online casino bonuses is can you cash them
out?
B
What do we mean? Basically, there are two types
of bonuses ones you can cash out and ones you
cant cash out. All bonuses, regardless of type
and size, are divided into two categories
cashable or non- cashable. Non-cashable bonuses,
also called sticky or phantom bonuses, are
ones that cannot be exchanged for real cash.
Essentially, a bonus is like a credit and if the
bonus is labeled as non- cashable, you can use
the credits to play the games, but it will not be
considered cash when you are ready to withdraw.
If you want to make a withdrawal from the casino,
you will only be allowed to redeem your winnings
and your initial deposit, not the bonus
amount. This type of bonus is often labeled as
'for wagering only' in the terms and conditions
section. Cashable bonuses are the opposite and
after meeting the wagering requirements, they
count towards your overall winnings and can be
withdrawn, making them more attractive. In this
case, it is very important to read the terms
and conditions closely to see if the bonus being
offered is cashable or not and determine which is
the right one for you. In the terms and
conditions section on a website, you are likely
to see something along these lines in relation
to Non-Cashable Bonuses Here is an example
Page 6 of 37
www.CasinoBonusReviews.com

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets For a Cashable Bonus, you may see
something like this Beware!! When you
deposit, and the casino awards you a bonus, you
will always play FIRST with your own money. If
you lose your money, then you start playing with
the bonus money. Therefore, if you deposit 100,
receive 100 in bonus money from the casino (a
100 match bonus) and you lose 100, you wont be
able to cashout the remaining 100 in your
account if the bonus is non-cashable (and at that
point, even if it is cashable, that casino will
tell you that youll have to play in order to
meet the wagering requirements for cashout). (Of
course, this is not the case with a no-deposit
bonus, which is why the wagering requirements for
cashout on a no-deposit bonus are usually much
more strict than deposit bonuses.) This is
standard for all online casinos and in fact, its
pretty fair. Otherwise, people would be able to
cashout the free money. The point of the bonus
is to help you win, its not free money. That
said, its important to understand how bonuses
work so you can 1. Decide for yourself if
you want to play with bonuses 2. Know what
to expect and dont end up feeling cheated or
frustrated because the fine print was too
confusing Now that youve got the basics down
on what casino bonuses actually are (and what
they arent), lets learn about the different
types of bonuses so you can understand which ones
are best for you, where you can find them and
what pitfalls to avoid when shopping around for
the best online casino bonus deal.

Secrets Chapter 3 Different Types of
Casino Bonuses Deposit and No Deposit Bonuses
here are different types of online casino bonuses
and each offers its own unique advantages and
conditions. In this section, well give you an in
depth explanation of the different types of
bonuses.
T
Here, we break down bonuses into two main
categories no deposit bonuses and deposit
bonuses. As the name implies, a no deposit
bonus or a free chip offer is when the online
casino awards you with a bonus before you deposit
funds into your account. A deposit bonus is a
bonus that the casino awards you when you buy-in
(i.e., deposit funds). Keep in mind that each
bonus comes with its own terms and conditions
that vary at each casino. It is important to read
and understand these fully before playing with
any bonus. In general, these limitations are
typically wagering requirements meaning that
you are required to wager a certain amount of
money before you are allowed to withdraw the
bonus. We will discuss wagering requirements in
more detail below and in the following
chapters. No Deposit Bonuses No Deposit Bonus
1 Free Chips Hands-down, the most popular
casino bonus is the no-deposit bonus. Its free
money. Its not unconditional free money and you
cant cash it out and go buy a cup of coffee, but
it is money that you can use and if you win, the
money you win is yours to keep. Pretty
great! Now, where the casinos get you is with
the requirements you must meet in order to cash
out the money you win with the bonus. Thats a
whole chapter onto itself. Well get there in a
few minutes.

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Here's an example
Q. A.
Why does the casino offer you free chips? Similar
to land-based casinos, its in the casinos
interest to get you in the door. What better
way to do that then with a free gift?
You dont owe the casino anything and its the
best way to really check out their goods as you
can play any real money game you want and really
feel the excitement of playing with REAL money as
opposed to checking out the games in the fun/demo
mode of the online casino. So, the casino will
front the money for you initially from its own
bank, in the hopes that you will spend your own
money with them down the line. Casinos that can
really put their money where their mouths are
are the ones that offer the free chip deals.
Theyre confident that once you play their games,
youll want to come back for more. While
this is the case, new casinos also offer the no
deposit bonus in an attempt to prove that their
product and services are just as fantastic as
the older more established casinos. No deposit
bonuses usually come as a cash bonus and can
range anywhere from 5 to 150. Like other
bonuses, the no deposit bonus can be used to
play most games at an online casino, but be aware
that
Page 9 of 37
www.CasinoBonusReviews.com
12
Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets not all games will count towards the
wagering requirements and there are strict terms
and conditions associated with them. Make sure
to read Chapter 4 Know what you are getting
yourself into Terms and Conditions. If you
decide to take the bonus, you will typically
download the casino software, register
your account as a real money player and type in a
code (unless you come from a special link and the
money is automatically credited to your
account). Some casinos will ask you to put in
your credit card information.
Q. A.
Is it okay to put in your credit card information
at a casino that youre not necessarily sure you
actually want to spend money at? YES. Absolutely.
Online casinos are not allowed to accept minors.
The way that they deter minors is by asking all
players to register their credit card details as
by definition, if you have a credit card in
your name, you are above the age of 18. This
way, the casino is able to verify that you are
indeed over 18. By law, they cannot charge your
card unless authorized. Sometimes an online
casino will require that you make your first
deposit before youre eligible to cash out the
funds youve won from a no deposit bonus. TIP
If you take a no deposit bonus and are asked by
the casino to make your first deposit before
being eligible to cashout your winnings FOREGO
the first deposit bonus because otherwise youll
need to meet another set of wagering requirements
on the match deposit bonus you receive with your
first deposit. You can do this by speaking
directly with an online casino customer service
representative and asking them to shut off
bonuses. (P.S. you can always turn on the bonus
function later.) There is no way to do this
yourself youll need to contact customer
support.

Secrets No Deposit Bonus 2 Free Play
Bonuses There are two main types of Free Play
Bonuses.
1. 2.
Free Time Free Spin for Slots
1. Free Time Bonuses Free Time Free Play
Bonuses can be a great way to start off. First,
youre able to really try out the casino and play
the different games. Its better than playing in
the free/demo version of the casino because you
actually have a chance to win something! These
bonuses allow you to play at a casino for a
specific amount of time with a set amount
of money and keep your winnings. The allotted
time will vary at each casino. As an example, a
casino will give you a set amount of 500 and one
hour to try and win as much as possible, up to a
limit of 800. When the hour is over, whatever
you have won above the 500 comes back to you in
the form of cash in your account. As with any
bonus, there will most likely be a cashout
requirement. As we mentioned earlier, often
times casinos will require that you make a first
deposit before being able to cashout the money
you win on a no deposit bonuses this is
standard. Here is an example

Secrets 2. Free
Spin Bonuses - Slots Slots are one of the more
popular online casino games out there so there
are some casinos that create extra bonuses
targeted at slot players specifically. These
bonuses are known as free spin bonuses and come
as a time-bound or money-bound bonus. A
time-bound bonus is a bonus that you can use
within a certain amount of time. A free spin
bonus is a bonus that consists of a certain
number of free spins (these games apply to slot
games). Money-bound free-spin bonuses allow you
to play a slot game for free up to a certain
monetary limit. Here is an example

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Welcome Bonus/Sign-Up Bonus/New Player
Bonuses Just as the name implies, the Welcome
Bonus, also sometimes known as a Sign-Up Bonus
or New Player Bonus, is given to customers who
are playing at a casino for the first time.
The casinos goal is to attract new players so
this bonus is usually one of the best deals
around, and for this reason, is offered on a
one-time basis. Welcome bonuses are match
bonuses. A match bonus, true to its name, is a
bonus offered by the casino based upon the amount
of money you deposit. The casino matches your
deposit by a certain percentage, up to a
certain amount of money (depending upon the
deal). The bottom line? What you want to look
for is a high percentage and a high maximum
match amount. 100 The casino matches your
deposit dollar for dollar. 200 The casino
matches your deposit with 2 dollars for every 1
dollar you spend 300 The casino matches your
deposit with 3 dollars for every 1 dollar you
spend and so forth... The up to amount
is the maximum bonus amount that the casino will
offer you. This amount helps you understand the
exact amount of money you need to deposit in
order to get the maximum bonus amount from the
casino. The casino could offer a 50 match bonus
up to 200, which would mean that you are
eligible for 50 cents on every dollar you
deposit. So if you deposit 100, you will receive
a 50 match bonus, up to the maximum allowable
bonus amount. Keep in mind that if you want to
take advantage of the full bonus amount and grab
the entire 200 from the casino, youll have
to deposit 400. Lets take a look at a
real-life example
Page 13 of 37

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Welcome Bonus
100 match up to 100 Lets start by saying that
this is a very clear and transparent
advertisement. Instead of the flashy ads
promising thousands of free bonus dollars with no
real commitment, this ad clearly states that this
is a casino match bonus and that you will receive
a bonus upon your first chip purchase. We like
transparent, easy to understand ads! Now, lets
break it down. For this bonus, 100 match up to
500, youll need to deposit 500 to get the
maximum bonus. When you deposit 500, youll get
to start playing with 1000 in your account. On
one hand, you want to get the most for your
money. On the other hand, do you really want to
deposit 500 at a casino youve never really
played at before? If you deposit less, youll
still be matched dollar for dollar but as we
established above, there are match bonuses higher
than 100 so you might want to keep looking.

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Lets take it a step further. What
about those outrageous offers like 3000 Free
or 1000 Free! Is
bigger really better? MYTH The best strategy
here is to look for the largest match bonus you
can find at each casino. FACT When it comes
to welcome bonuses, bigger is not always better!
Most new players assume that a banner ad
flashing 1000 Free Bonus! means that upon
signing up to a new casino, youll find 1000
worth of free chips waiting in your account.
The reality, however, is a bit
different. First, lets get one thing straight.
A Welcome Bonus/New Player Bonus/First Deposit
Bonus is a bonus the casino will give you only
upon making your first deposit as a new player.
This means that you cant receive this bonus if
youve had an account in the past. This rule
applies to one account per household. The casino
will check based on your computers IP
address, even if you try to use a different name
youll run into problems when you deposit and
expect to see your first match bonus.
Page 15 of 37

18
Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Be aware! Casinos get creative when
it comes to the fine print of the welcome bonus.
The huge number is always broken down into
separate deposits.
The good news? The casino will award you with a
match bonus each time you deposit. The bad
news? Youll have to spend a lot of money in
order to actually get the maximum bonus
amount (aka the huge number advertised as free).
Q. A. Q. A.
Each separate section is a match bonus (i.e.,
deposit X amount and the casino will match
your deposit by X up to X.) The up to X is
considered as part of the bonus. Confused? Dont
worry. Youre not alone. Casino bonuses are
extremely confusing. Lets call a spade a spade
the goal of the casino is to lead you on and
confuse you terribly. However, if youve come
this far and youve gotten your hands on this
e-book, youve already got one up on em! Moving
along... lets break it down with some
examples Casino X offers a 1000 Welcome
Bonus. The bonus itself is made up of 4
bonuses. First bonus 100 match up to
300 The breakdown This is a great bonus. The
casino will double your first deposit amount up
to 300. To get the maximum amount of bonus money
from the casino (the full 300), youll need to
deposit 300. Second bonus 50 up to
200 The breakdown This is a so-so bonus. The
casino will only match your bonus by half
the deposit amount. In order to get the maximum
amount of bonus money from the casino
(200), youll need to deposit 400. Third
bonus 25 up to 250
Page 16 of 37
www.CasinoBonusReviews.com
19
Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The
Industry Secrets Fourth bonus 25 up
to 250 The breakdown These bonuses are pretty
weak considering that you can just make a deposit
at another casino and easily grab a higher
deposit bonus than a lousy 25. Plus, to get the
full amount of bonus money from the casino for
each deposit, youll need to deposit 1000 each
time. So, when you add it up - in order to get
the full 1000 Welcome Bonus from the
casino, you need to actually deposit 300
400 1000 1000 2700. 2700 in
order to get 1000 in free cash? Hmmm... Not
such a great deal on second thought. Theres no
such thing as a free lunch, folks! Other
important things to consider are the
wagering requirement terms for cashout, deposit
methods accepted, the quality of the casino and
cashout restrictions. The wagering requirements
should be low and the casino should be reasonable
when it comes to limiting games that dont count
towards meeting the wagering requirements. (Read
more about wagering requirements in the
section below.) Check that you can deposit at
the casino in question with the payment method of
your choice. Some limit you to just a few third
party payment providers that charge high
commissions on transactions. Other than that,
make sure that the casino is a legitimate
business. The casino should run on software
thats licensed and regulated and they should
have the documentation visible on their website
to back it up. Another sign that the casino is
not reputable is if they do not share a mailing
address that each casino by law must provide its
customers. Not sure? Ask their customer support
representative. (Note If you cant reach a
customer support representative within 5 minutes,
find another casino as this is a sure sign that
the casino is not well run.)

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets ATTENTION In this section, we have
gone into detail explaining exactly how a match
bonus works. Welcome bonuses are deposit match
bonuses but theyre not the only type of deposit
match bonus. In fact, most bonuses are
match deposit bonuses well talk about them
here. 2nd Deposit Bonuses Sometimes, things
dont always go the way you want or expect when
you are playing. If you lost money with a Welcome
Bonus, a 2nd Deposit Bonus is a chance to try
again. Casinos offer this bonus as a means of
keeping you playing with them. When scanning a
new casinos bonus page, check to see if this
type of bonus is available as it is can serve as
a safety net if you lose out on your first
bonus. As discussed above, an online casino
welcome bonus usually is made up of the first
few deposit bonuses but check to make sure that
youre getting more than just a one-off
deal. Here is an example

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Loyalty Bonuses So youve been
playing at a casino on a number of occasions and
find the experience to be enjoyable, fun and best
of all profitable! Since you are spending your
money at the casino, why shouldnt they give you
something back? Well dont worry folks, they
do!! Loyalty Bonuses were created to keep happy
players happy and coming back for more (and not
going to a competing brand). Loyalty bonuses can
come in all different denominations and
essentially are related to how loyal the casino
sees you. TIP How can you get on the loyal
or VIP player list? The casino considers
a loyal player one who plays a lot and deposits
a lot. Even if you dont deposit a lot of
money but you deposit consistently, the
casino understand it as a sign that youre not
depositing/playing elsewhere. Its a great
long-term strategy investment because the more
loyal you are, the better the bonuses are. Also,
loyalty perks range beyond just cash bonuses.
First, high level loyalty bonuses are usually
cashable meaning you CAN cash them out without
having to meet wagering requirements. Second,
players with loyalty/VIP status are able to get
their earnings quickly (because the casino rushes
the processing time). Third (but not least of
all), these players are awarded with a personal
account manager whose job it is to make sure
youre a happy player (translation will give you
lots of free chips, cash and even actual
merchandise like electronics, vacations, cars,
shopping sprees, etc.).
Page 19 of 37

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Bottom line? It pays to be loyal to a
casino that you like. Here is an
example High Roller Bonuses All
online casinos want to catch a whale (a.k.a
High Roller) as they typically spend a lot of
money. Even though they may be fewer in numbers
than the regular players they essentially
contribute more to the overall revenue of a
casino. Thus, High Roller Bonuses are geared
towards players who deposit large amounts of
money from the start. In order to receive these
bonuses, you must initially deposit typically
5000 or more to qualify. High rollers are
automatically considered to be VIP players and
are immediately flagged and entered into the
casinos loyalty program. In return for spending
big, casinos will offer great perks, extra
bonuses and first-class service for these
players. Everything from comp points and luxury
gifts, including free hotel accommodation at
5-star hotels, free tickets to various concerts
or sporting events, or free entry to some big
tournaments. As a VIP, it will be easier to
deposit and more importantly, withdraw from the
casino account. Every high stakes player will
have their own dedicated casino representative
whose job is to help them solve any problems.
More than that, if any questions or technical
difficulties appear while playing, they will get
expedited help from Customer Support. High
Roller bonus can (but not always) exceed the
match bonus percentage offered to
regular players. The best part of the High Roller
bonus is that the maximum bonus amount
received per initial deposit is dramatically
higher. Here is an example

Secrets Reload
Bonuses Obviously, casinos want existing players
to come back as often as possible and spend
large amounts of cash with them. Therefore, they
offer Reload Bonuses as a way to encourage you to
keep your accounts open, even if you have not
been particularly successful in your
playing. Reload Bonuses give you the opportunity
to maximize your bonus over a set period of
time. Similar to Welcome Bonuses, they are
offered as a match, but are usually less than a
100. Reload Bonuses are typically good for
deposits made during one playing day. However,
you will find that most casinos do not offer the
opportunity to take a reload bonus on all
deposits. Note that in general, a casino will
limit the Reload Bonuses to the first deposit
made that week or a number of deposits made in a
month. Another possibility might be that a
casino will spread their Reload Bonus offers
throughout a week. You could see a casino could
offer a 30 Reload Bonus on first deposits made
on Monday, a 60 Reload Bonus on first deposits
made on Wednesday and 100 on Saturday. Review
the promotion pages at each casino you are
playing at carefully to determine
what strategically makes the most sense for your
playing style.

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets Here is an example
Weekly/Monthly Bonuses Weekly and Monthly
bonuses are another way for a casino to entice
you to keep coming back. As the name implies, you
will only be able to take advantage of these
bonus offers during a specific time period
designated by the casino. Similar to match
bonuses, these bonuses entitle you to receive a
specified percentage amount up to a maximum
specified amount. If you find a casino that you
like to play at, Weekly/Monthly bonuses can be a
nice addition to your bank roll because they
reward you for your loyalty. Although
Weekly/Monthly bonuses are not offered at all
casinos, they are quite common. Look for casinos
that change up their Weekly/Monthly bonuses all
the time, implying a level of innovation on their
part as well as an investment in their customers.

Referral Bonuses If you really like
playing at a casino and you want to spread the
love, you can let a friend or family member know
about your experience and encourage them to
register as well. If they take your advice, you
would be eligible for a Referral Bonus. When
involving other people in your casino playing,
sometimes things can get tricky. In order to
avoid any mistakes and to ensure that you receive
your bonus, instruct your friend or family member
to use your name in the referral box when they
sign-up so that you are credited with the
bonus. Referral Bonuses are given as flat
amounts or they can be match bonuses based on a
certain percentage of what your friend or family
member deposits. Like other bonuses, there are
likely wagering requirements attached, so make
sure to follow the terms and conditions closely.
Once you have met these stipulations, you will be
credited. Here is an example

Secrets Payment/Banking Method
Bonuses If you have ever seen a restaurant with
a sign outside that says Cash Only, then you
are aware that business owners usually prefer to
take payment in other forms than credit
cards. Credit card companies can mean hassles,
fees and headaches. In the online casino world,
this is one reason that Payment or Banking Method
Bonuses are offered. Additionally, because many
governments across the world have strict rules
relating to online casinos, they require a bank
to take extra care when receiving a request for
an online casino transaction, slowing down the
process. Payment/Banking Method Bonuses reward
you for using another form of payment for a
deposit besides a credit card. This can include
NETeller, Citadel or wire transfer, as
examples. This bonus usually comes as a
percentage of your deposit and in addition to
other bonuses you are using. So, if you
deposited 50 and you took a Welcome Bonus that
gave you a 100 match, you would have 100 to
play with. If you also took a Payment/Banking
Method Bonus that gave you a 20 bonus on top of
this, you would have 120 to play with.

Secrets Chapter 4 Know What You're
Getting Into Terms and Conditions Wagering
Requirements
henever you take a bonus, there is a Wagering
Requirement (WR) attached. This means that in
order to cashout any
W
of your winnings, you need to wager a
certain number of times, as specified in the
terms and conditions attached to the
bonus. Since the casino is giving away free
money through the bonus, a WR is a way for them
to manage and offset their risk and ensure that
a certain number of guaranteed bets are
placed. Wagers are bets. Wagering requirements
are centered around wagers. In short, you need
to BET a certain amount of money to cash out -
you don't need to SPEND a certain amount of
money. This is something that most people
confuse. When taking any bonus, it is important
to look at the wagering requirements so that you
fully understand what you are committing to when
you take the bonus. In general, the larger
the bonus amount, the more likely there is a
higher wagering requirement attached.

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets How are wagering requirements
determined? Wagering Requirements are calculated
based on the bonus amount or the bonus plus
deposit amount. (Bonus Deposit) x (a
number specified by the casino) Wagering
Requirement The number will usually range
between 15 for less strict bonuses and up to 40
for more strict bonuses, depending on the
casino. Example If you were to make a
deposit of 100 and take a 100 Match Bonus with
a Wagering Requirement of 25, it would look like
this Wagering Requirement 100 100 x 25
5,000 So you would have to bet a value of
5,000 before being able to cashout. Are the
WRs the same for all games? No. Not only are
there different Wagering Requirements attached to
different bonuses, the WR can change based on the
game. Typically, when you see a WR, it will be
for the lowest WR applicable, generally for Slots
and Keno. Other games, are a percentage of the
WR, and may not count at all or count very little
towards meeting the requirements. These
percentages vary between casinos and throughout
the industry, therefore you should look closely
at the terms and conditions and do the
math. Here is a chart example of the breakdown
of what you may come across in terms of how
much certain games can fulfill the Wagering
Requirements

Secrets E
xample According to the chart, a player who
wagers 20 on slots will contribute 20 to
redeeming their bonus. A player who wagers 20
on Blackjack will contribute 4 to redeeming
their bonus. Do all games fulfill the
WR? No. Depending on the casino, certain games
are restricted from fulfilling the WR. For
example, if you started playing slots according
to the WR, but then switched to Craps, not
knowing that Craps does not count towards the WR,
you would lose all your winnings. You need to
proceed with caution and read the terms
accompanying each bonus with care.

Violating Terms and
Conditions If you have read through this guide,
by now you should know the importance of paying
close attention to the terms and conditions
attached to all bonuses. If you violate any of
these, according to the casinos discretion, your
bonus and winnings will be made null and
void. As mentioned earlier, a violation could
mean using the bonus to place bets on games that
do not meet the wagering requirements. In this
case, you could see something like this in a
casinos terms and conditions section Bets
placed on all games other than slot machines will
be deemed a violation of the terms and
conditions, your bonus and winnings will be
voided.

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets The lesson here is that you should
only be playing the games that the casino
specifically says apply to the bonus, otherwise
you wont be able to cash out your winnings
(youll have to play one of the allowed games
and might risk wiping out your winnings). Max
Cashouts So you just won 1,000 playing Slots
and another 1,500 playing Blackjack. You
are feeling great about yourself and are already
picturing what you are going to buy with the
extra cash in your pocket. You are ready to
collect your winnings and hit the stores, but not
so fast... The casino you played at might have
a max cashout. Many casinos have maximum
cashout limits that range from 2,000-5,000
per week. This means that if you hit a
random jackpot or win significantly, you will
only be able to withdraw your winnings according
to the casinos weekly allowance. This could
translate into weeks of waiting to receive the
full amount of your winnings. Not all casinos
have max cashouts but it's important to look for
them. Cashout details can be found in the terms
and conditions page on a casinos website or by
contacting their customer service team. Be sure
to take the time to review this information so
that you are not faced with long waiting periods
for your money.

Secrets Chapter 5 Info You Need to Know
to Maximize Your Bonus Experience!!
our goal should always be to maximize your bonus
in order to get the most for your money.
Y
This means that you always want to deposit up to
the maximum amount for the bonus. Here is a
scenario to consider If a casino offers a 325
Welcome Bonus up to a maximum of 3,250 then in
order to maximize your bonus and give you the
best chances of winning, you should deposit up
to 1,000. 1, 000 x 325 3,250 (which is
the max Welcome Bonus from the casino) In this
case, depositing more than 1,000 will actually
REDUCE your percentage bonus. For example, a
2,000 deposit would take you over. 2,000 x
325 6,500 Since your bonus is capped at
3,250, the bonus percentage is really only
162.5. The lesson here is to use your
money wisely. Remember to never deposit more than
the max bonus amount in order to maximize your
cash and keep the odds in your favor versus
the casinos.

Secrets Tips and Best Practices - Rules to
Live By! 1. Customer Service Ask and Ye
Shall Receive A good customer service team is
vital to any online casino games experience and
is a sign that the casino you are playing at is
legitimate. If the casino does not have
sufficient or quality support, then it's safe to
say that it does not have the resources to invest
in the user experience. This translates to the
gaming experience and payouts as well, so it
should be taken into consideration. If you have
questions about bonuses, wagering requirements,
or anything else, dont feel shy about reaching
out to the casinos support team. It is their job
to help you deposit and make the most of your
playing time. INSIDER TIP When you are
talking to a representative, ask them about
any deals or promotions that they know about.
Often, they will let you in on things that may
not be listed online and you can get an advantage
on other players. 2. Don't Deposit Right
Away! If we had 10 seconds to tell you ONE
important thing about casino bonuses - the tip
that would help you get a bigger bonus every -
single - time... THIS WOULD BE IT! Sign up for
an account. Then wait. One day, two days, a
week, two weeks. And... watch your email! The
longer you have a registered account and don't
deposit - the better the offer is going to
be. It's like playing hard to get. The casino
already has you but they don't have your money -
for them this is TORTURE.

Casino Bonuses Experts Tell All The Industry
Secrets If you don't deposit right away,
you'll get an even better deal! Plus, don't be
afraid to talk to a customer service
representative a few days after you registered
(before you have deposited) and ask them for
their best offer to get you to deposit. 3.
Always Check Your Email for the Latest Deals We
know that there are a ton of casinos out there
offering all kinds of bonuses. With so
many choices, it is easy to feel
overwhelmed! One way to ensure that you are
getting in on the best deals and promotions
specifically from the places you love to play is
to make sure you're getting email offers from the
casinos. Many times your email provider will
automatically toss any email from an online
casino into your Spam or Junk folder. You will
need to "allow" mail from these email addresses
to get through your Spam filter. Depending on
what email you use, the way to set this is a
bit different. Just search in Google to learn
how to do it for your specific email provider
(gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) TIP If you are
concerned about getting too many emails, create
another account just for casino bonus offers and
use that email for all your online casino
accounts. 4. Social Media if Your Bonus Best
Friend Many casinos and casino-related sites are
using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
Google, Pinterest and others to promote bonuses
and deals. Social media is a great resource to
keep updated on the latest info from the industry
without having to do any searching online.
Just press Follow or Like and you will have
the offers coming directly to you! To start you
off, here are a few pages that will give you
access to exclusive bonus codes and special
casino deals what you won't find anywhere else!

Secrets 10 Tips to Find the Best
Bonuses 1. If its not a one-time bonus,
see how the bonus is broken down. Find the one
thats spread out the most with the highest
match percentages per bonus. 2. Check out
the wagering requirements for cashout. Try to
aim for wagering requirements that are low.
(Whats considered low? Rule of thumb Bonus
Deposit x 20 and lower.) 3. Make sure the
terms and conditions clearly state what games are
allowed and what games arent allowed to meet
the wagering requirements for cashout. 4.
Make sure BEFORE you deposit that you dont have
an account at this casino. If you dont
remember, ask a customer support representative
to check your details. (If you deposit and you
once deposited at this casino, you wont get your
welcome bonus and youll have a lot of problems
getting your money back). 5. Last but not
least, make sure the casino is reputable! Be a
smart consumer. Only deposit at a casino thats
regulated and licensed!!! 6. Do not deposit
more on your first deposit than will allow you to
get the full match bonus! 7. Don't worry
about having an account at more than one casino -
you'll end up getting more bonuses that way.
If you don't want the hassle -stick with your
favorite casino and aim towards becoming a VIP
player with access to the casino's loyalty
program. 8. Don't deposit immediately after
opening a real money account - if you wait a few
days the casino will send you a better
incentive to deposit - it will be worth the
wait! 9. Always read the wagering
requirements - don't be afraid to ask for NO
BONUSES if you know you won't be able to meet
them (i.e., if they don't allow you to play
your favorite game, for example,
blackjack). 10. Stay on top of emails, social
media sites and the best casino bonus review
websites to make sure you never make a deposit
without getting a bonus and don't miss out
on any time-sensitive bonus offers!
