Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,

As we all know there are always some promotions in the casinos. I would like to know your opinion on these.
What are the most appealing prizes for you so you would take part in the promos?
 
1. Bonus money
2. Free spins
3. Giveaways (e.g. gift cards, tickets, gadgets, trips, etc)
 
Your comments are also much appreciated.
 
Cheers,
Karl

I do prefer the first two options as I think it will be good for the casino as well since some players will use the bonus money or free spins winning to continue gamble. The 3rd option is good too but I do not think it will be suitable for all players. Lets say the bonus is a physical stuff, means that players needs to reveal their identity in order to receive the prize. Some players do not really like it imho, so I can say that bonus money is the best promotion and it is the most common bonus in online casinos.

I vote for free spins, because we don't need to pay anything there... all we need is try our luck to win some amount money. Bonus money is a good promotion too, it's quite similar like free spins . Personally I don't like giveaway, because you'll not 100% got it and I never win any giveaways till now :D . Let's say 1000 users participate in same giveaway, your chance are only 0,1 % to win it (100/1000)

In most common promotions that I'd shown are usually those are free spin or free chips and in the dice game may be faucet. These are very effective ways of promotion to lure gamblers to visit the site and probably also the reason of staying the site. Giveaways also make an interest in the people but maybe it will depend on what games they will like to gamble.

However, I saw the potential of these 3 options that might be possible that can attract gamblers to visit the site and play. A newly launched gambling platform will commonly do these.

I can work on the three options, but the second option remains my favorite, as it makes me enjoy the tournament by facing other players.

Nothing beats Free spins,this is what i usually look from Gambling sites in casino's and lucky that most of them offers this.

So even if i have lose all of my funds still i can afford to try once again my Luck lol

Yups we all looks for free spins and others is just an option .

But still Gadget offerings is gaining supporters as our time now.

All of those in the choices are good as long as there's no hard part of claiming it and there's no complicated requirements just to become eligible with those bonuses and giveaways. It may depend to what kind of giveaway but who cares? as long as it's part of the good will and prize, you won't complain about those because they're free. With what I've read about those bonuses before, some gamblers complain because of the complicated requirements and they don't want any of it anymore.

• Free Spins

I chose the free spins cloth, this is a game that is quite interesting in my opinion and very easy, but only needs luck to play it, but as long as I play free spins, there is always luck in each game even though it's not great, but I always don't lose all of it.

But with the others it is also quite interesting to just choose which and currently the voting has the most free spins.

bonus money and giveaways should be merged because both have a good value than compare to free spins . these two are also most appealing compare to free spins because on free spins you are not sure if you will win but bonus money or giveaway are already sure though these two are also harder to get . on some site i see they givesway phone and free tickets but you need to become a certain level of thier vip  , same as with bonus money but the requirement is much lower . they also give free spins upon first time deposit or signup

Can't decide what I like best, free spins or bonus money. In both variants, when you win, you need to wager a lot before you are able to withdraw your winnings.

For me the best casino promotion - the one where you not just register and receive something (because that can be 100% abused), but you participate (for example like Cloudbets prediction topics one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098762.msg49283807#msg49283807) two (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5048963.msg46789516#msg46789516) three (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4809890.msg43389208#msg43389208)) and get something.

I voted for "Free Spin"

Bonus money sometimes from the bonus deposit and some casino give a high requirement wagering because of that's just wasting my time and could be losing all of money since you cant withdrawal before the required wagering is fill up. Free Spin just for tested your luck, one of the free spin I got is from "Fortune Jack" they give a free spin for all new member on their website.

A gift could be an option too, but depending on the term and condition the event.

Free spin takes my vote here. Bonus money depends on how much your initial deposit is. Obviously, the bigger the better, but for average joe, it might not be the case.

As for free spin, this is where your luck enters, so for me this is is more exciting and see how it goes for you. So you could literally win big here if lady luck smiles.  :). I think for giveaways not viable option, if you win, too much hassle, you need to send your info as to where the winnings could be received specially if it is a gadget or some physical gifts.

"free spins" have many choices because this is the most preferred even in every event or even with free spins this will be an opportunity for them to be lucky at this bet because this is the easiest for us to play.

in the voting of free spins to be chosen so that you can deduce which ones will be held the event of course I prefer free spins.

Options two got me here.

First options is good somehow but it fits well to a certain kind of a man who can afford to showoff a big amount of money, well, ain't everybody can do that, so free spin edges the first option here, and it is pretty much better for general. Much has been said about it above, and that was my motive as well and sometimes that's what keeps me on visiting gambling sites. Well, option three for me is fine, though usually the problem here is that the chances on getting the most decent prize are almost close to impossible but it is persuasive to always try, won't deny it.

So, yeah, free spin, prevails here.

Bonus Money vs Freespin vs Physical Gift

I would like to ask about the Bonus Money and Free spin first.
Are you referring to Bonus and FS without wagering requirement or with wagering requirement?
If it is with wagering requirement, so Physical Gift is the best for me.
But if there is no wagering requirement for the Bonus money/FS, I'll prefer to this ones.
At the moment I'm waiting some physical gifts from Stake as a reward of joining their VIP Battle promotion.
Overall, all mentioned Promotions are good if there is no wagering requirements, in case you are referring to promotions for your active players.

Well, I will go on bonus and free spin. These are very important promotion in a gambling company that wants exposure.
Gamblers are always looking free at first-time use because they want to test first how it works and perhaps these free spin and bonus will very suit to the gambling companies that looking promotion and help their company to be well known. Indeed, all OP stated was right, --giveaways promo are also helpful to increase users/clients in your casino.

Any promotion is good for Casino and people are always on the look for casinos that sent giveaways and promotions, I love the bonus money because I can use it to any of my favorite games like slot and dice and I can allocate it to specific roll and spin, a giveaway is also good, but sometimes they do it in the form of contest or raffle, and I am not lucky in this kind of contest.

if I may be honest with what you ask, I will most likely choose casino gambling, choice number 1.

The reason: I'm simple, if I choose "bonus money" I don't need a deposit, free, in this situation I don't think about risk because I am not financially committed by certain casino gamblers.

but the name is free as not as beautiful as expected to have terms and conditions for example, have to bet all bonuses in three hours to three days and casino games are also very limited, for example, slot games, casinos, poker, but for me really enjoy it, Every bonus given by a casino gambling site.

I prefer to have giveaway of different gadgets, tickets etc. than bonus or free spin. Bonus money or free spin have no eexcitement while winning a giveaway has more excitement. Sportsbet used to do some kind of giveaways. You can check their earlier giveaway and how much people participated there. A regular giveaway would create much excitement and keep the users active.

If I have to choose one among the three, I'll pick free spins. I prefer both free spins and bonus money, I generally don't have much interest in giveaways mostly because of privacy concerns. The why I pick free spins over bonus money is that with free spins I can get lucky to win big. While deposit bonus is big for bigger deposits and small for smaller deposits. But if it's a no deposit bonus, then it's a good choice.

Considering that we're inside a crypto community, the third option is off for me. I barely ever gave any personal details to a casino, so I would not participate in them as I'm very careful when it comes to choosing physical giveaways.

Free spins is my choice. It could be a combination of free spins and bonuses. Most online casinos that had faucets 5-6 years ago have had success. Moreover, a giveaway is something only one or a handful of people get to win while free spins give the entire community an equal chance without any of them being chosen by a RNG.

I've honestly been mostly attracted to websites 100% assuring me a free gift if I look back at the history of websites I used to gamble on. Probably for the same reason bounty hunters join every single bounty: you're theoretically ensured a specific number of coins for free.

Among these three choices, giveaways are without a doubt the most preferable choice for the both players and non-players. Because... they are giveaways and everybody likes them. :P

From the casino's point of view;

Giveaways aim to attract non-players while free-spins and bonus money aim to boost the current players' morale.

If the casino needs more players, it should do giveaways.
If the casino wants to increase the performance of the players, do bonus money/free spins.

Having bonus money that can be used for bets and free spins is one of the best casino promotions. People are always attracted to bonuses, the more benefits the platform have, many users will go in your platform. Giveaways are rare and sometimes people aren't participating even there are huge prices.

Actually, freebitco.in already done that, they give free spins every 1 hour which gives free BTC that can be also used in bets.

1. Bonus money
2. Free spins

These are much preferable when it comes to promotion.Yeah, its quite common but it will differ on what are the rules that
they do set out on such promotion ex. wagering requirement because we know that if said bonus was given then it do automatically
talks about roll over.Therefore, if the house set out much lower roll over compared into its competitor then that the time
would make it more interesting for some people.

Free spins! If you're a gambler, this is the most natural promotion that you'd get, and one that you'd really appreciate since it really let's you feel that your gambling. Bonus money is okay and all, but it's kind of an eh moment. As for the third option, It's a low chance of you actually winning big prizes tbh. It's kind of like a lottery. Though if you were to change it to like roulette, where prizes are listed and the rewards you'd get is to instead get a free spin or two to that roulette. Ofc, chances are up to you to decide, but I think that's a much better option. It's like you can combine all 3 options, one being money, you can add cash rewards to their account if they get it, two for spins, they get free spins to the roulette once they do something (kind of like a daily task of your choice?) and three, small chances of actually winning big prizes.

@Bitcasnio.io Support in my personal opinion free spins is one of the best promotional tool for a casino, as this type of promotion has been tried and tested before, and gamblers absolutely love free spins over other bonuses. Also many gamblers often end up signing on a casino because they would like to use those free spins to win a big jackpot, and later on if they like the casino then they may often end up playing there.

I never got any gift cards, tickets, gadgets, trips, etc from any casino, until now, maybe that will happen to me one day. Until now all I got from my deposit is bonus money or free spins. Both are good, but I would always choose bonus money, for only one reason, with bonus money you can play more games, usually free spins are just for the specific slot, and only after those spins (and in case you won something) you can choose your game! Both have roll over, but with some luck and winning some good bonus round can give you a nice boost to complete wager requirements. That didn't happen to me for some time, I have luck in the beginning but after some time I just go to zero again!

Free spins are what I want most, it's very popular especially to those who have just launched their online gambling casinos so they can try the interface and their features, I'm using the free spins I got for Dice and slot, all those gambling sites I've joined are giving free credit and free spins from time to time.

I'll go with the first two options. I mean, without any single doubt, everyone loves 'FREE' lol :D. And through these, a particular casino can keep their customers playing even on the times that they are already losing. Player's interest are kept since they knew that they can still spin or can still bet despite of having a bad day. These things are effective perks to give them hope and also a way of showing their care for their customers somehow. So I think every casino should have at least one among these two if fhey want their business became more popular.

Of course Free spin is my first option because this is the most used and offered in every gambling sites specially those being advertised in this Forum,and also this is the easiest and can claimed instantly,Not like other promos like Gift cards and gadgets that you don't know if they will really send you or just a promises to lure players.

But of course Bonus money is also in my choice if given 21 chances,because This is instantly sent in our accounts but also there are some issue that if you win mostly companies will look for KYC things that we mostly avoin thats why we choose the said site.

Free spins, then First deposit +100% bonus, then some money bonus for the most active players of the day.

Free spin - Who would not love and like to have it when you get it for free and just may win as well. For me it is the best option and have voted for it. I also think many players even look out for the sites which offers the free spins and accordingly you can attract many new players as well.

Any free money is good as long as it's legit, I mean no wager or deposit requirements. I choose free-spin simply because it will likely free without those hassles. If you give money, there will be minimum withdrawal, and if you give goods, there will be difficulties in shipment, plus users will risk their anonymity.

Anyway, if you want to see good promotions, look at what Roobet doing with their slots promotion.

why what roobet did with thier slot/promotion ?  and only slot game are they promoting ? shipping and other requirements for giveaways are okay to do as long as the site is legit  . when you online shop you also wait for days and also fill up using your infos so why youl doubt if its done on the gambling site that your playing with  . free spins is also okay for people that are lazy to do all the hassel that a normal giveaway would dealt

Go to games and rounds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0) ;)

Yea it's fine if you want to reveal where you live. Gift cards would do just fine, but you can only use that in the specified store.

---

Anyway, I don't want to derail this thread since I also use bitcasino.io occasionally to burn money.
More bonuses from any casino will be good for players.

I saw gambling websites a couple of years ago make the mistake of offering free money without setting a withdrawal limit or a terms and conditions of only being able to withdraw when you have earn 2x/4x the amount. This has changed in modern casino promotions but I still think a lot of the promotions are asking for way to much from the customer. Free money on top of a deposit is the best way of offering this type of promotion in my opinion. So instead of just offering x amount for signing up offering double the amount the person deposits but don't do both. Don't have the requirement of depositing to get the amount and then having to stake or earn a profit of 2x/4x before you can withdraw. Instead just offer the amount on top of deposit and then require the person to gamble at least the amount that they withdrew. You are offering risk free money but as the gambling mindset is you can't leave on a loss then that should still encourage them enough to carry on.

I think deposit requirements are okay even with a wager requirement as long as the free money is truly free and the staked amount does not equal the free money  being staked too.

I'll take whatever they are giving, usually these online gambling casinos are giving free spins to test their games and they also send free spins from time to time to increase memberships and entice people to deposit or wager more, I seldom read online gambling casinos giving gadgets maybe the offline casinos are giving gadgets to entice more players to play.

The bonus money is the best option out of the three because the gambler is free to do what he/she wants with the money. Free spins is good, similar to the bonus money you're guaranteed to win something but the reward could vary because with free spin rewards the number of spins credited is somewhere 10-20 and you don't always win more than the total value of the free spins (from my experience). There are days where i'd win a lot from free spins but it's very rare.

bonus money & free spins at a first glance are a valid system to acquire new players.
But I think that the best way to acquire (wealthy) players come offering giveaway since they don't need free bucks for betting. Offering a special prize (limited edition coin?) it could be more interesting for a player.

I won a Bitcasino.io giveaway and got Ledger Nano X without needing to pay for ANYTHING. And what's interesting is that one would think that many people would participate in a giveaway with such a big prize, but that wasn't the case. Only about 10 people actually participated! I guess people are more accustomed to getting free spins, and thus more people join to compete for them. And getting free spins might be easier (it could be a randomly chosen person or something similar) as a bigger prize is more likely to require a person to do something (in that giveaway participants made suggestions to improve the website).

I would choose the first and second choices, having a promotion of bonus money and free spins are really great, it would let you continue on gambling whenever you are lack of money. Promotions are really great in every casino gambling, it is one of the marketing strategies that they can do to persuade other people on their building. It would also make their customer loyalty to them, but one thing that could be negative on promotions is that your customer will always wait for the time of promotion before they play again, I am also doing that thing, lol.
Well said, aside from the free spin is really entertaining because you wouldn't know whether the better price would be given to you. It is the happiest kind of promotion for me.

You're lucky that no one joined that much into that giveaway but if people would able to know that it do exist nor launched then they will surely jumped in without hesitation..

Giveaways are good but same as you said where people do prefer on getting free spins since they do know that they do have higher chances on making it big and able to cash out
as long they do completed the roll over.

If there are giveaways that do only have small amount number of participants then its normal to have bigger chances too but these situations are rare to be found because in most case
lots of people participate into things on where they do saw that they can benefit out.

Hi Karl, I understand from where you are asking this question. Probably you want to design interesting promos for the existing players of your casino or want to gather more players in your casino. But you need to understand that different types of giveways appeal to different segment of people. Let me show my analysis,

1. For existing players-
Gift cards, gadgets, tickets or trips works best for such players. Because they are your existing players and you have already won their trust. It's just a matter of retaining them. So offering rewards like these are more appealing to them

2. For increasing market penetration -
Free bets and bonus money works better for these segment of people. Those who have not played in your casino, may be able to develop trust if they get to test your casino for free. So here free bets and bonus money works better.

It's all about user experience at the end of the day. But you need to understand your players in a better way for better conversion and retention.

I guess anything for free will work for me to get into gambling even I have forgot a particular house. I'm saying this because after receiving some bonus from one particular casino, I started gambling with them again after a long break. So, I guess it would be much better to remind about the existence of such a house by sending me mails time to time so that I may keep on gambling with them ;D. I guess this would be the case for many gamblers.

Bonus on deposits, chat rains, free spins and free credits like faucets on email are the thing I have already experienced and these things really pushed me to gamble more. Moreover, when I take time to read on this forum and seeing a good post and the poster's signature, I am not sure why I do that but I do click and do start play at most of the times (which also interrupt my reading). I mean signature campaigns must be the most effective way of promotion a casino may do at least for the gamblers like me :P.

I really like the free spins compared to other kind of promotions because from spins also we can feel like testing our luck while entering into a casino.Fortune jack had free spin for everyday login in the past but I guess currently they stopped it so any new casino wants to attract can try this method.

You can always use (at least most of casinos offer that) not-real money to play slots and spin until you are tired. This allows to check all the graphics, UI and etc.

Honestly speaking, Giveaway of tickets, travel and gadget will be awesome and my most preferred kind promotion. But the chance of winning was slim because only few person can be chosen as winner compared to free spin and bonus money. It still a case to case basis which depends on the value given in the choices let's say free spin and bonus money will value around 25$ to 50$ just like betsimulation did before then I will choose them but if its just a 1$ then I will pick giveaway indeed. I don't want to waste time to a free spin which is obviously you will loss in the end.

This is the very move of every casino right now to recruit new players, it seems like everyone is ready to catch those beginners who turned into online gambling since casinos now are temporarily closed.
What I think they need to do to attract wealthy players is to make a huge bonus after a huge deposit, they are wealthy and they won't bother to put a lot in it right? Giveaways won't make wealthy players look to the platform, most probably it will attract giveaways spammer. imo.

how about a classy rooms for wealthy players? would that be looking too racist?

But the free spin I am talking about is which gives us real money so that kind of promotion will attract more than allowing users to try the platform with deposit bonus of free spin money.

From that option, I think bonus money and free spins will satisfy people who want to play gambling because at least, that will be useful for people who visit on the gambling site in their first time. That person can check on the site, find the games they search for and I think they will be happy to get bonus money or free spins. But if both bonus money and free spins can be given to them at the same time, that will provide another happiness to them before they deposit their money to play more.

The giveaways can be given in some period, such as celebrating some program on the gambling site, or they can provide the giveaways to random people who is lucky. But bonus money and free spins can be applied too after they deposit the money so they can stay on that gambling site for some time.

Yeah, it's improbable though if a casino can offer free-spins or rather meaningful rakeback (free money) without any wagering, but there's nothing wrong to ask. lol.

Bitcasino already gives free spins (or return money) if a player hits milestones. Perhaps decreasing the number of points needed to unlock the perks (or more milestones) is also a choice.

Thanks, avikz

I agree that gifts would be more attractive to new players.
But to keep existing users entertained, maybe they also would like to have a chance from time to time to win such things rather than free spins and bonus money.

Cheers :)
Karl

Free spins are the best for new players! and I think for existing one too. Giveaways like cars, gadgets are good but as a player I am not really hoping that I would win on that cause it's really almost impossible to win those. What I can suggest is rakeback base on percentage of winnings of the player or their wagered amount. I forgot the casino but their promo is if you are winning you will win more! Your rake-back is base on your winning and It's really good since if you win a lot and then, loss, you will still have a money to keep.

In my opinion, the best promotion campaign is the bonus balance method.  The main reason for this is that with this method, the user spends according to his own taste.  That's why I think these kinds of campaigns are more interesting.  But there is another element that I want to mention here that the conditions of these campaigns should not be too heavy.  Determined absurd and harsh conditions can have a significant impact on users' preferences.

I used to play in the casino that most of the promotion there with the existing players is bonus money, were you need to wagered and make it in the top.

Something new is what we need. Giveaways like cards, tickets, gadgets, trips, etc are such a great way to make your existing players stay and have fun more IMO.

^ It is the choice here, the good promotion is the bonus balance in your account and makes it a huge capital of yours and it is good if you can able to withdraw even without depositing your money first. But how about if they had all promotions that mentioned by to the poll of the OP. The bonus, free spin, and the giveaways. Probably more gamblers will be lured and play on that site because this will get to their interest and grab the opportunity to test their luck to that site without having their own money.

You were so lucky at that time and most probably everytime when you use your Ledger it reminds you the giveway winning moment. It works like a notification which push gamblers to participate on another giveway of that specific platform.

Yeah i agree with you. Specially new users are heavily interested in free spins rather than trying their luck for giveways with big prizes.
