Lots of casino giving bonus in different form such as free spin, free bet and bonus deposit but some of applies wagering requirements which is very hard to complete without losing money greater than bonus that you acquired. I know that wagering requirements is calculated by the casino so that can't go bankrupt by abusing this bonus.

I follow Duelbits Christmas giveaway since day one and I still can't find the challenge that I know that I can win.

Does completing bonus is still possible and profitable or it's just like chasing the wind?

Off course.

Especially for the bonus who have less rules and don't to be designed impossible, like some bonus with 50x waggering. I hate bonus like that, because is design to be lost 99% and you just wasting the time.

So, any bonus you can get free & less rules it's really better.

It is for you to decide. Duelbits' milestones are meant for high-rollers and if you think you won't be able to meet such requirements, then it's fine to just play the way you do, no need to switch up or anything. These as their name imply, are just bonuses. Incentives for playing and betting. You can play and bet without having to meet bonus requirements, although it really urges you to go beyond your means sometimes and bet more especially with how greaf Duelbits is with inspiring people to play on their site. Anyhow, it is up to you whether betting for the bonuses is worth the extra effort or not.

Speaking of bonuses, I'll say it's something you don't or shouldn't have to contest for. Not when you know you could be at the loosing end of it all like you've rightly stated. That at times one has to lose more to acquire just a small fragment in bonus. That would be some great lose if you look at it and a compensation that doesn't go no where.

Hence, supposedly your doing your thing, just gambling like you would want to and your rewarded with some bonuses, it's great news. At least, it wasn't contested for and you've got a few rounds to go for free and you don't get to stake your real money. That's okay and it would be worth it at that time.

Completing bonus is very possible all you need to do is just meet the requirements but profitable? Which solely depends on your luck and if you calculate the amount you wager and possibility of reward from the bonus then most likely its won't be that much profitable but for a gambler its just an encouragement factor nothing else.

I remember FJs free spin which they offered years back but I never won anything in it to be honest but the current bonus are more realistic and profitable for casinos as well as users if they are lucky enough to win.

There are lots of threads about this sort of thing that have been debated ad nauseam, but giving my two cents...  It seems like you've somewhat answered your own question.  You say you've been searching for giveaways and haven't found one you think you can win, so right now you are chasing the wind a bit, but being realistic.  It seems like you will know when a bonus is within your means to complete and if it with be worth it for you to try.  I'd say if you keep doing what you're doing you'll probably select the right bonus when it comes along, and will save yourself the heartache of chasing the wrong one.

If you want to get that extra $$ to bump your luck/time in the casino then I guess it's worth it. I've learned to not chase bonuses nor even acknowledge them whenever I'm playing. Good to have them when they don't have any ridiculous wagering requirement, but I'm still okay even if they don't exist. Most of these bonuses are made for people who are really enjoying to chase after these absurd bonuses in the casinos. I'd say just play and ignore the bonuses. They'll distract you a lot and you'll not have a very good time playing if such distractions are present.

Some casinos offer a free bet sign-up bonus... If your bet wins, the winnings, less the size of the bet goes to you... Or if you place a certain number of bets for a certain amount, you also get a free bet... I find it handy and I have sometimes managed to win extra money... I bet sometimes anyway, so it's nice when I get bonuses... Probably the free bet is the best bonus of all...

It depends on the kind of bonus, I mean nobody says no to free spins and $$. Deposit bonus or withdrawal bonus are not bad in anyway. Though, going for a casino or switching from one Casino to another because of their welcome bonus doesn't worth it. It kills the focus and you may not win the bonus. Though, playing with your money seems more effective compared to staking bonus as someone already said that he won nothing with his bonus. Some Casino may have programmed their system such that players may no win using bonus, not quite sure. Other than that, emotionally we tend to play games carefully with our money than with bonus points; a player may not feel the pain when losing games with his bonus points.

You shouldn't go for every bonus you see instead go for those you think can be profitable to you. We have bonus that requires you to make a deposit and you get awarded the bonus which you can redeem without much tasks. We also have those that require you to make just one or few bets to redeem the bonus. Those you gave as example mightn't be worth participating in but we have others.

Therefore generally, casino bonus are worth it because you can get some profits which means you risking less of your money to achieve that. But instead of focusing efforts on those bonus, I think you should just bet with your own money, get your profit and move on. Those bonus are marketing tools and the casinos will always find ways they don't go bankrupt doing those bonuses.
Bonus.

still it's a matter of luck. For me the bonuses that the casino offers are still attractive and decent. But that should not be our focus. even when getting a deposit bonus I don't really focus on the bonuses I get. I just always focus on my original deposit amount. and don't have high hopes on the bonuses that are offered. And I think Duelbits is still the most comfortable site for me to use. maybe I'm the type of person who is not too interested in the bonuses on offer. because I prioritize comfort and trust.

Bonuses are really worth it for regular bettors especially those who have huge allocated funds in gambling because they can easily meet the requirements and could withdraw their bonuses easily but for small-time bettors, it will only be a huge temptation for them to bet more just to meet the wagering requirements. Some casinos require up to 100x wagered amount just to claim the bonuses that they offer which I think is too hard to reach.

The best form of bonus is no wagering bonus, I still prefer freespin since I will just spin to win an amount but the bad aspect will be the spinning reward being subject to x amount of wagering as a condition for withdrawal which most time only favor the casino and not the player.
But in all, it's cool playing with free money in form of a bonus that has low or no condition attached to its withdrawal.

For some casinos, I would with all honesty agree that trying to complete their wagering requirements to claim a bonus is like chasing the wind.

One thing we must all understand is that most of this bonuses is not the casino doing a give away to their users, it's all for marketing purposes, that is why there is a wagering requirements in the first place.
A casino can offer a bonus and attach a minimum wagering requirement to it as a way to lure customers into wagering more in the hopes of getting the bonus.
But it is up to us as gamblers to calculate and know which of this bonuses are profitable to us and which are not, the same way that all that glitters are not gold, so also some bonus offers from casino are not actually a bonus but a way to lure gamblers to wager and possibly lose more money to them.

Agree. Although when claiming a deposit bonus make sure to check our the rollover needed because sometimes they tie up your deposit alongside bonus and it becomes impossible to complete the wager and your initial deposit is also locked up because of this. I will explain with an example,

Suppose you get 100% signup bonus for depositing $100, now make sure the bonus $100 is separate from the actual deposited $100 so that in case you fail to rollover the bonus you can still play a little bit and withdraw your actual deposit. I have been a victim of such a bonus where the deposit was locked and I had to rollover 20x and it was just not possible and I had to basically gamble up everything.

Casino bonuses are simply made to get new customers. This is one way more advantage to the casinos so they can stay at edge from other casinos despite of the strong competition. However, for us, I’d say this is also worth it because they can be a big help for us to win without high risks, but for some it can also be somewhat annoying since it can also wager us more until we end up empty just to chase for them.

It is up to you to decide whether you accept the bonuses or not, now it is true that sometimes the waging requirements can be very harsh in some casinos, however if you know you are going to lose anyway and the bonus applies to some of the games you regularly play then it could be a good idea to take the bonus anyway, now if the bonus applies to games you do not like or you are trying to become profitable then it may be in your best interest to not grab most bonuses.

It depends on how you foresee it. If you think that the wagering requirement isn't a matter to you and you'll just enjoy it along the way then that's sure worth it to do.
But if you're worried because you're gambling and you think that the casino might always win with your wagering then you just have to stop looking and aiming for the bonuses and just gamble the way it is. So that you won't have that guilty feeling that you'll never win against the house while trying to reach the wagering requirement.

You answered yourself, betting companies are business. Every steps they take they take it to generate review so that first they can pay their employees, then pay for the resources and other costs before the owners make a profit from it.

These bonuses are a way for them to hook you up and then once you are hooked then you will spend money. Ultimately the house will make money.

You don't have to take all bonuses that casinos are offering especially those with wagering requirements. I wonder how many have tried that Duelbit but gamblers are risk-takers.  The free spin is one that is not best to get than the deposit bonus which mostly only the new casinos are offering which is also risky.

At the end of the day casinos and sportbooks are trying to move money out of your wallet into theirs every single day. The most money you ever make from a casino in the form of bonuses will be for the short period of time after you sign up, when they can often give you deposit and freebie welcome offers to give you the illusion that you can make money with them. They want you to sample lots of games and a true gambler will throw all the money that they give away right back into the casino, a wise person would take that money and move to the next place while keeping an eye on any later offers they might be able to make money on. Sometimes their are special days like the super bowl or world cups where you might be able to pick up little morsels of decent promotions, but they are masters at taking your money, in most online casinos every game is tilted in their favor.

Doesnt matter whether you do make yourself get involved with deposit or free spin bonuses they are still subjective to terms and conditions which you would need to comply or reach out before you could
really make out some withdrawal this is why its never been that recommendable for you to focus out on claiming these things if you arent aware of those terms and conditions.
Just like on what majority been telling or saying on this one which its never been that worth or something,It is really just good for prolonging the game but it
wont really be putting up some advantages on you basing with those requirements which means that it would never been worth.

It actually depends on individual’s preference. Some find it worth it and profitable while others see it as a destruction especially if they have tight budget for gambling. But for me, I know it’s a big opportunity for me to win without taking some risk, but I know I should complete the requirements first through wagering before getting such bonuses. That is why some have chose to ignore it and just focus on their own games as they can have better chances to win from them.

It can be worth it if you are having fan completing those task but if you just feel the pressure and frustration then better not to participate at all and just look for other options available for you. I’m sure there are bonuses and promotions that didn’t require the task that much, Duelbits is very active on a weekly competition and I can see a lot of participants, most of them are just the same old players who are enjoying the extra money for them.

I try to play normally, there is no target for the 50x requirement to get that bonus, for example. looking for a 50x multiplication is very difficult, and I compared the pattern of the game I applied more results. on the other hand, I have experienced following bonuses like that, all I got was minus assets

Whether or not it is worth it depends on yourself. and how do you try to take the bonus, and try to meet the applicable conditions so that you can claim the bonus. imagine, if it were that easy. all members can get this bonus easily, automatically the casino will get a big loss. because of that, every promo, bonus and others are always accompanied by regulations that must be met before someone can claim it. So the answer is, it's up to you. so far the casino has tried to enliven the casino, with several bonuses and promos that they provide for their users. if you can complete it, you are entitled to your bonus.

To be honest, I'm not really interested in these kinds of things. except, the requirements are quite easy. after all, I play for fun and not to get bonuses from events or promos provided by the casino. I just enjoy the game according to the mood, the rest I don't really care.

Usually not. If you play at a casino and get a bonus it's great, maybe it's going to give you a free roll or additional money on your account. Some casinos from time to time offer a double deposit bonus which is incredible if you plan to play there a lot because you're going to do those 50 or so wagers anyway with your own money and deposit bonus can sometimes keep you in the game when you otherwise would have to call it a day.

That said, don't register and deposit money into casinos you wouldn't have chosen if not for the bonus. Don't play only with bonuses in mind because they're meant to look juicier than they really are.

It's all marketing though. Of course, casinos giving away bonuses knows it's for marketing, but I think it's still worth trying for the casino's side and many users will still try to check what sort of bonus the casino is trying to giveaway.

I can imagine users will assume Santa is right over on the casino when a user reads a Christmas giveaway only to be disappointed upon knowing the wager requirements. Juicer when not read  ;D

As much as possible, it’s best to find bonuses without any requirement like having to meet the wagering amount. Otherwise, only high rollers have the chances to play for that while leaving no chance for small wagers. Although I understand that bonuses are made for the casinos advantage, but if it’s given for free, I guess all wagerers may have benefited from it since most of these bonuses are only small amount of profits knowing they all comes free.

Usually it do plays around 35-50x wagering requirements depending on what casino you've been dealing with, where there are ones who do make out some lowering of those requirements and some becomes a standard.

Just like the rest been saying on which its never been that ideal nor worth on dealing up with bonuses.It is really just good on making your game time long but expect that it isnt something
that you could able to pull through easily or reach up that wagering requirement until you bust it all up.
Its not worth it i would say but there are people who are really that too fan on acquiring these bonuses just because of some common reasons.

That's why is it called bonus, because you don't know, it might give you a good in the end. So for me, still worth to chase it, or at least try to reach for it if you can when playing on a certain casinos that will give this kind of promo or wagering requirements. That thing is that most of the time though, those requirements are too big for average joe gamblers, maybe for whales they can go for it. Nevertheless, who knows, maybe you can lucky and win big in promos such as free bet or just the bonus deposit. So it's not chasing a wind, you still have that chance even if it is small and we are willing to take it.

As a bonus, a player should not expect so much from this freebie so to speak.
So whether you got something from it or not, one should not have hard feelings on the casino.
As we all know, some bonuses have certain requirements before you can withdraw your winnings.
That is why there's no need to chase these bonuses because sometimes the requirements are too difficult to complete.

Hearing the term bonus alone make us wanting it instantly but in gambling, it’s seldom to get offers to play for bonuses for free since everything starts with wagering. Good thing if it’s given actually for free without any betting amount needed, I will definitely grab for it. But in most cases, bonuses are there to attract more players, and with more players playing comes with more profits for the house. So it’s still a house strategy that makes the gamblers to bet more and spend more money to play.

If we can make some free bets out from small and minimal bets, I think that’s not bad at all. But yes, having a free bet without any amount to bet is the best bonus after all. But since we are gambling and everything comes with business, then maybe the reason why even bonus these days need to be paid so we can be qualified for it. The reason why some never run for it knowing it’s not actually a free bet but still a paid one.

Yeah, I think this is one promos that everyone is looking for, I mean you can test a new casino and see how good or bad it is, then you will have a chance for that free sign up bonus. But then again still depend on how big your initial deposit, or if the casino will give you that continues free bet that will be good. Yeah, still free bet and you can take and it takes luck to make money out of those free spins or bets that the casino will give to you. It is worth it? yeah, why not, give it a try and pray that luck be on your side. Nevertheless, we all know that the house edge will caught up on you.

In my opinion best bonus should have very few limits for withdraw/wagering. If there are too many rules, requirements or restrictions It should be avoided since its not a profitable bonus for the player.

Free spins are funny. But its really hard win decent amount.
Bonus odds (like pump your odds) its ok but with "Easy odds" its really negligible (you need at least a @2.50 and more to see improovments).
Bonus related odds with restrictions (like choose odds with a basic value) most of the times are hard to be wagered because players are forced to play certain match even if he has not real experience on them.
Wagering contest and generally speaking these kind of bonus are useful for players with huge wallets but not easy , I think a strategy Is always necessari.

I find it not worth it but I don't know about the others if they feel the same way as I do.

Bonuses isn't worthy for me since it wants you to gamble for more than you should lose since it has a requirement before you get it. Best bonuses should be the free one or the one that doesn't make you play more to a game that you don't like.

But for the others who has a huge capital funds, they may get that bonus but it's not worth it for me since they just spent too much just for the bonus.

if you're chasing the requirement for you to withdraw your bonus then you're like chasing your losses, the bonus requirement benefits the casinos because the longer you play the higher chances for you to lose it's like a quicksand where you slowly sink when you're moving.

Don't force yourself to win just play and enjoy winning comes when you least expect it, a lot of disappointment in gambling comes because they are forcing their way to win.

Yes it is, your results are not a fact there are many gamblers who completed the bonus requirement and withdraw it, these are VIPs who have a huge bankroll and those who got lucky to hit the requirement.

Bonus could neither be on deposits or just with those free claims which it is really that subjective to those kind of common terms which we know that it is really something not really worth off to deal with.
Doesnt matter if you are a huge depositor or small ones, when it comes to bonus, you would be still needing to have that reaching on particular wagering requirement.
Just like on others been saying that on the time you have done that then you had already busted up all of your account balance thats why lots had been saying that it isnt
really just that worth it.

You'll never know until you try.  But then it is your fund so you have the right to do whatever you wanted for it.  Casino bonus is indeed worth to claim, IMO.  It will extend your game play time if we are talking about deposit bonus.  Challenges is a bit different because you need to do task and I think it isn't a bonus that is why it is labeled as >>>Challenge <<<. Getting the reward from it is quite hard.  But if you happen to beat the challenge then I am sure it feels good.

There is always a wagering requirement for most of the bonus that casino offers and casino put these wagering restrictions so that peoples do not abuse these offers.

After all, Casinos and gambling houses are running a business and they will never want to lose money yet at the same time they would want people to deposit and play more. So they introduce promotions and bonuses for gamblers but give them tough wagering requirements so that people are unable to get that free money out of the gambling casino.

If you are really that curios then you would really be needing to find out via testing out these bonuses and look whether it is really worth or not.Its up to your own
discretion whether it is really something that worth or not but in overall its not really that something interesting because of the requirement which you do need to pass up.
Chasing up multiple wagering requirement is never been that entertaining but rather stressful for my part.
You would really be that meticulous when it comes to betting behavior.

What did you get as a result?? You were unable to make a dime outta it right? Well, I'm not gonna totally agree nor disagree cus the casino in question isn't some poor, scammy casino that you could get anywhere... They're profound and I guess if they made a bonus and you were unable to get out with it, then it's either you haven't followed the TS/C's completely or you've just got bad lucks on that. Free-spin really pays -- AMAIK, though it comes through a mega winning very rare, but it falls for humans too, just like you. Maybe I'd disagree abit to some other casinos that'll only make an option like that to get new set of bettors.

Casinos bonus should not be compared to bonuses that we used to know, our company gives us bonuses for the work we've done at casinos you've got to spend money, and its possible that you will lose money because of that bonus or you will not get that bonus at all.

There are winners in their giveaways your result varies based on your luck I'm not saying don't give up but try your luck next time

We can't say that it's like chasing the wind if there are no winners but there are those able to claim the bonus and if there are no winners then we can accuse the casinos of putting something that is not possible to reach.

Even though the bonuses is like giving a free spins it gives still a profitable value because if you manage to hit the good run for example in 100 spins you have the chance to get free hundred dollars or below it no one knows it's base on the luck. If you will use an odds boosting bonuses it's ideal into the sportsbook games. That's the reason why to gain and attract a lot of players so enjoy the boost and possible chance of winning more

There are users who are making their wager out of the bonuses. As said bonuses with wager and winning specific multiple with the minimum value is really hard. Even those bets were won by gamblers continuously without losing during the wager. This is really out of the luck. Also during those time the users require the patience and the time to take such efforts as the minimum bet value to claim the bonuses were very small.

It's still good and worth receiving something in return after you reach a wage threshold than nothing, a bonus, we have to accept the fact that it benefits casinos so you can keep up and set up a goal and continue playing, casinos are making a profit from your continuous playing most of the time you have to lose a lot to get those bonuses.
Casinos want you to set up a goal to reach when you're playing and bonuses are good motivation for you to keep up if you're losing because you can't find a game that you can win, you're missing a good part and that is enjoying the game, just enjoy the game and winning will come and you'll eventually get those bonus.

I don't like the deposit bonuses, the ones that require the player to deposit a certain amount to claim them.

I always prefer other offers like reload bonuses or cashback, for example, where you don't have to make an initial investment to get a return.

Of course, keep in mind that casinos don't offer bonuses just to benefit players. They are also looking for their own benefit which is to increase profitability and that's why they always involve some requirements like expiry date or minimum amount of moves.

It's complicated to talk about what's worth it or not, the bonuses vary a lot between casinos and also from one promotion to another on the same site.
It is necessary that you evaluate the requirements and compare with your style of play to conclude if it is worth it or not.

My conclusion is: most of them are not worth it, but there is always something interesting and advantageous for the player.

Them casino bonuses, there's always a catch. The more you chase after them, the more the casino makes money. Those are designed to entice you, to prod you to go further with your bets. They all love you eyeing on those bonuses. They're there for that exact reason. If those bonuses are your goals, then I guess it's worth it. But to set them as goals, I don't think it's worth it, especially with heavy wagering requirements. Especially if you're only gambling with limited funds and for fun, it's probably better to just enjoy and focus on your games. Let the bonus come naturally.

To some it's worth but to many, it's not worth it, this is not the first I have seen a thread about a deposit bonus it still attracts a lot of players to go for it and new casinos still offer it, it really depends on the betting habit of every gambler, if you think its hard for you to get it then pass it and just enjoy playing games that you can win but if there's a chance that you can hit the waging requirement then go for it if you have a huge bankroll you're likely to reach the requirement.

we can enjoy and win without chasing anything mate , and for me? those bonuses are just a way of gambling site to lure players and to let them deposit and wager even more for that matter.

so I wont have to choose bonuses over playing  ;D


try to consider finding luck or luring luck without those bonuses and trust me you will not lose big amount from that .

It didn't for me and left chasing it soon after, it's real headache tbh.

These casinos send email about bonuses each day like money is raining from sky but reality is much different.

I've probably said this before, but chasing bonuses for the sake of using them isn't actually worth it imo, taking advantage of them while getting them due to playing is. Actively trying to get them if there's only a bit left also counts as worth it imo. You can take them into account when planning your budget for a session, but that should be the limit, only "taking it into account", and not "setting it as the goal". Most bonuses don't even give you guaranteed profits anyway, just more chances instead.

and sometimes it is annoying when they keep sending about the bonuses that we never tried and pay attention maybe that is how desperate they are to make us believe on those promises but the truth is ? that is added chance of losing and addicting .

From my experience, it's possible as long as you're picky with the bonuses you take and know the bonuses that would put you in profit.

Overall, most of the bonuses aren't worth it though that's why you have to choose properly and avoid the ones that would encourage you to spend more than you should like the wagering contests or raffles for example.

It depends.


I agree. For me the worst ones are the ones with a deadline, like 'you have to bet x amount before the end of the month' because in order to release the bonus you can end up betting more than you should in a relaxed and rational way, so you end up losing more than what you can potentially win with the bonus.


I agree.

At the end of the day, keep in mind that bonuses increase RTP. If the RTP is 95%, they can increase it to 98%, for example, but it is still less than 100.

That's actually a marketing strategy to keep the users to get more involved in all gambling activities that offers bonuses, but most of the time these bonuses are only favourable for the high rollers and those who place huge bets and play frequently. That's a win-win situation for the casino as they get to attract more traffic and huge wagers, regardless of the amount they offer for bonuses, the house always have the upper hand.
Now, if you don't have enough risk appetite to chase these bonuses, then it's not gonna be profitable for you.

If you have to wager the bonus money, say, 5 times, or 10 times, it is never guaranteed that you will lose most of it, or all the money. It is likely, yes, but not guaranteed. You can win 10 times, or 100 times of your bonus, in case you are lucky enough. Treat it like a free lottery ticket. Anything can happen.

It's profitable obviously "if you were able to meet the eligibility and requirements".

Now depends on how aggressive you are to achieve that bonus.

But for me, I'm not that enthusiastic about trying to achieve that bonus in most cases since that requires serious effort and dedication plus the fact that there are lots of players who are also trying to get in especially if the bonus is about leaderboards.

It will mainly depend on the site. How they give you bonus on which site you deposit. Bonuses that many casinos and sports betting sites offer to users are easy to enjoy. Again there are some sites that offer more bonuses but have complex requirements that most users fail to meet. I made a deposit on Sportsbet.io during the World Cup and when I lost it all on a bet there my balance went to 0. But in few days later when I opened the site it offered me free spins bonus and I availed from there. I was very happy. There was no wagering requirement. No reason to be happy just seeing a bonus until you can claim it.

Any casino bonus is sweet bait on the hook to lure new or old gamblers. Perhaps you will get something or even win at first, but in the end you will still be a loser. Any casino is aimed at extracting money from you, and not distributing it for free as bonuses. There is only one way out - don't get fooled by bonuses.

Casinos design their bonus scheme to incentivize high-rollers or those who can give more profit to them. If it will only give profit to users then it will affect their business negatively. Only high rollers can benefit in most bonuses since this requires "X" wagering amount for you to get the bonus. If your aim is to win the bonus you will just losing your money.

For small gambler, promotion and contest is worth it since they have limited amount of money.

For high roller, promotion and contest is just a peanut since they're looking for jackpot, it doesn't matter for them to keep spinning.

So which category you're? it seems you're fall under small gambler since you're very careful to spend a lot money than the prize. That's a risk and even you've wagered more than the prize, there's a chance you could win when you keep spinning.

I personally think that as a small gambler, you should not be expecting a Jackpot, and the majority of people who have been unable to win jackpots from bonuses do not even understand the category they belong to, so they always take it that casino bonuses are never worth it. Firstly understanding the kind of gambler that you are, will help shape your thinking. Casino bonuses are worth it to some set of persons, to another set of persons, it doesn't look to be worth anything.

If you are referring to bonuses with wagering requirement only, it does not worth to take the bonus unless you like a challenge to complete the wagering requirement and you are ready to take the risk. However there are many other type of bonus that you can get with no catch but mostly it depends on your wagering activity.


Are you sure you did not find it or you did not know which challenge is better to make some profit. There were at least few challenge with easy task such as to bet on world cup and you'll get free spins as the rewards. If you know how to bet on the match wisely, the free spins reward can give you some additional bucks. In this case, I made bet on one of Argentina match, I won the bet and I won some from the free spins reward.

The bonuses put up are not in your best interest else every participant would have to benefit or profit out of it but if it be so it's just going to plunge the casinos out of business, and what's the essence of going into business when you ain't making profit as a company. Every casino bonus comes with some terms and conditions attached and it's left for you as a gambler to digest and understand their terms before engaging, it's not a compulsory stuff.
Just because it's a bonus doesn't guarantee that all participants must win, if you didn't win or confused about it, doesn't mean others are not utilising the bonuses and making some bucks.

I don't think gambling casinos are doing that sort of wagering procedures to control the win rates from what they are offering to their players. As far as I know, they benefit from giving in a way that it attracts more players toward their gambling platform. Quite some kind of a marketing strategy. Think of this; they would only offer promotiond and bonuses for a limited time. Compare it on the tendency that more players would play on their site during and even after the bonus period. So that I think is where they are somehow compensating their "losses" from giving more to players or should I say compensation from what they have invested. So yes, to answer the question. Playing or completing the bonuses would be profitable as your usual gambling activity.

If you are considering claiming a bonus with a wagering requirement, it is important to carefully read and understand the terms and conditions of the bonus, including the wagering requirement, before deciding whether to accept it. You should also be aware of your own limits and play responsibly, setting limits on how much you are willing to spend and taking breaks as needed.!!!! it’s also worth noting that bonuses and promotions are offered by!!casinos as a way to attract and retain players, and they are not designed to be a guaranteed source of profit. While it is possible to win money while completing a bonus, it is not guaranteed and should not be relied upon as a primary source of income.

I see no difference in bonus offers to the big and small payers by casinos, the same principles apply to how it's going to be used. Except that the big players might have more patience than the small players because they might be rich and not desperate to win any money like the players with a small amounts. Or you have seen where the conditions of the bonus given to the players by the same company are not the same even if the bonus amount would not be the same due to the amount they wager?

However, in any case, I believe that the bonus system might be worth it in the end if the gambler is patient and not desperate to win money so fast.

Every casino certainly doesn't want to give away money for free, everyone has to be really active players and gamblers who can claim their bonuses and promotions, why is it so difficult to follow that part of the promotion because they don't want anyone to abuse the promotion and withdraw money, especially in many cases too people are often caught cheating by taking advantage of bonuses given by casinos  ;)

Some casino bonus is still worth it but most of them are garbage that requires insane wagering requirements but as I said there’s still some casino that offers genuine bonuses for all there players like Livecasino. They have always offer a promotion that requires some luck to win huge prize like winning streak count on blackjack and high multiplier on slots.

They also have tournaments which rewards multiple players which means the chance for a normal player that playing with normal bank roll is high since they reward many player in contrary to the typical casino promotion that only reward top 5 to 10. I have a lot of bonus experience on livecasino that doesn’t requires me to invest much on bankroll to complete the requirements.

I agree with you, many casinos offer BS garbage bonuses or promotions with unreachable wagering requirements. Some of them are well known here for that. But some reputed casinos like Livecasino, Bitcasino and Sportsbet are offering real bonuses and promotions easily affordable for the average players with no wagering requirements and no risks of account locking or restrictions.

As a small gambler, I try to enter promotions and contests but would not try contests requiring big money to join. And if the promotions and contests are like that, I will still play as usual and wait for the casinos to come up with promotions and contests for us little gamblers.

Big gamblers also often get promotions and join contests to get extra cash winnings. We must be responsible for the money we use for gambling and must be able to choose which promotions we can participate in.

The bonus given by the casino is just one form of promotional effort to attract new people to enter and play at the casino and so that gambling enthusiasts can be loyal to the casino site.
In my opinion, a lot or a little bonus given by the casino is not really a problem for a gambling enthusiast who has been playing in online casinos for a long time.
In fact, they only think about having fun and how to win bets and games in the casino itself.
So getting a bonus is not what a professional gambling enthusiast hopes for.

Indeed. During the beginning of the casino's journey, they do most things to gauge customers and encourage them to be players to profit. They initially launch things that has the high possibility to catch the interest of the people such as having promotions, bonuses, free spins and the likes.

These promotions they set up are intended to let you be hooked up in their play and spend money on their site. Of course, they would like you to play continuously ao that their business will generate income. Now, it's up to you to distinguish whether a promotion is worth it or not. You can always assess the circumstances and decide from there.

Right, I had an unpleasant experience chasing bonuses given by casino sites, just like what you said was like chasing the wind, to be honest I'm quite tired in terms of bonuses.

Bonuses are not so real and friendly to me, from now on I gamble at online casinos never think seriously about bonuses, bonuses in my opinion are windswept, I really can't catch a flying ball, always ends in defeat, playing with a real deposit is more profitable than chasing unclaimed bonuses.

It's really sad if I risk bonuses, smart casino sites know very well if we want to benefit from their bonuses, the casino doesn't let that happen to users who take advantage of bonuses, although there are those who profit from bonuses, the ratio is 1/100.

Bonuses and offers  are all about the part of promotion of a casino or a gambling website for attracting gamblers. However, in some exceptional casinos or gambling websites, it is possible that the bonus can be used by fully fulfilling the wager requirements.  But I think it's not possible in most cases, maybe that's how they control it. I have also registered and tried in many new and old casino's after seeing their different bonuses but actually I have not had the chance to win them yet. Now I think ignoring those qualities of bonuses can reduce of your wasting time .

In playing gambling don't expect you can win immediately by just putting a hundred dollars that's why its ideal to play if you have a lot to play with, also of course even though you are a big timer having a bonus gives you satisfaction and they will care to their player because they still giving this kind of promo, gambler always willing to take a risk with if you don't have guts to play with a risk you cant get the possible hitting jackpot.

These free bonus spins are still ideal for the newcomers too to let them play because of the higher chance of spins possibly getting a free money with those. The aim of the casino is to give entertainment else you see gambling as source of income.

As a gambler you don't need be looking for bonuses in different casinos,it will not give you the entertainment you need,these bonuses by casinos are ways to encouraged their big time customers to gambling more.

The casinos sometimes use bonuses or free spin to attract new customers to their gambling site and make you enjoy their games which you might not be able to stop after enjoying the free games and before you know it you have already started gambling on the games with your funds. It is a strategy used to satisfy old customers and bring in new customers into their platform

Basically, bonuses are nonsense and not worth the time spent on them, but there are exceptions. For example, recently sportsbet.io for a bet of at least $50 on an Arsenal game with a coefficient of at least 1.5 gave chips worth $25 on a roulette game. Even if you subtract the casino margin from the $50 bet and the margin from the roulette bet, it was $20 free. Quite a nice bonus.

It is still possible and profitable as long as you meet the requirements because perhaps, our luck will come soon. But we know the challenges in every casino event are not easy for us to win, and only lucky people can really win it. The bonus will come with the terms; if you find it hard to stick to them, you shouldn't even try. In addition, the casino does not ask all of its members to try to participate to get the bonus, and only people willing to follow the conditions and have good luck can get it.

Bonuses are great, of course but it depends on what types of bonuses they offer.

Bonus offers at all casinos are a great marketing strategy of the casinos themselves. But not infrequently users can abuse this bonus so that the casino has to take strict action against the scammers, even in some cases the team can freeze wins, cancel withdrawals to lock accounts. So far I didn't expect much from the bonus, it's useful but not much.

Free spin gives a chance to win one more time which can be anything or nothing but you can't analyse the profits when it comes to gambling and if you're such kind of person then probably its better to invest than betting with that money.

Event bonus gives some appreciation for the amount they wagered in their casino so its not really profitable but just a boost factor which is win win situation for both parties.

It's not profitable but it's not also changing the wind. What I do is just neglect that it exist and be surprised if ever they will give something in return after you wage so much money in gambling. It's not like it's there to focus on just getting it, it's a bonus and I think there is no better to define it.
It feels better if you are not expecting something and it gives you joy if you receive them without knowing you already accumulated an amount that you never imagined. I think of it like a small piggy bank.  ;D

I really don't like free spin since the chances of getting the high reward are low and getting a bonus will surely need a required amount of deposit before you can get it but this is where the casino earns their profit and attract more players. But, I would say that this kind of tactic of casinos is really worth it if you are really a gambler since it can be taken advantage of.

it seems that it can only be done by people who have large assets in the casino. To achieve this, you only need to sacrifice your time and mind, like even the rich can quickly recover assets and get them easily. the bonus mission rules also affect where a game that isn't difficult can attract enthusiasts

playing in the casino because of a bonus is a very serious mistake, these high requirements to be able to obtain the bonus are so difficult to fulfill that in my case I consider it impossible for me, I cannot fulfill these requirements to obtain the bonus, and how I realized that it is impossible for me to meet these requirements so I no longer care about these bonuses that have high requirements

I even advise people not to focus and not to care about these bonuses that have high requirements, the person should play in the casino as if these bonuses did not exist, at least with that the person will be able to play without pressure and without high expectations, there are people who spend money making deposits at the casino and playing because they think they will be able to meet the bonus requirements and with that they will win a lot of money. but at the end of the day they end up losing a lot and are not even close to fulfilling the requirements to obtain the bonus

Is the casino bonus worth it? Worth it. It's done to attract attention and increase member interest. For members who are active at one of the casinos and don't want to complete it, I don't think it's a problem. But we are also not wrong to complete or participate in it.
Like the answer of every participant here, it all depends on you whether you want to complete the bonus or not and for me it's the right answer.

Free spins can be different. This might be a coincidence, bad luck or magic, but every time I get free spins for registration, completing a challenge, I did not win much. But if during game I catch special symbols, that give free games, they are much more profitable. With free spins that I receive as a gift, I usually won just a couple of bucks, but with free spins from symbols - tens bucks, and even a hundred once. And casinos usually ofter free spins a registration bonus on a primitive slots.

Some of them worth it and are easy money, and others just feel like a trap... Most of them require a rollover, and that means betting the bonus amount X times, and if the rollover is too high then is almost impossible for the users to make real money with that bonus, but if you search you will find casinos with depo bonus without rollover and those ones are nice.

In the end, this kind of bonus is more to make the user enjoy the casino experience and decide if he wants to deposit more and play on the site.

It depends what kind of bonus you are talking about, if it is something like deposit bonus with huge wagering requirement, for sure it does not worth because most of the time you will lose your deposit + bonus while trying to complete the requirement.
But if you are talking about free spins that you get without deposit needed, it is still worth to try because you do not risk anything except your time.
Here you should be more specific to mention the type of the bonus to get a better answer for the specific bonus you are willing to know.

If you have the goal to complete it, there is no problem but I agree to you that whoever doesn't want to complete it, that's also okay.

There's no need to think of things for you to complicate it, just do it if you think it's necessary and you'll be satisfied of it or not.

Whether you're up for it and that's your only goal at most times, that's totally okay and not really a problem as long as you afford it.

Bonuses on crypto based casinos can be easily exploited so they don't usually give out signup bonuses. The free spins are as good as nothing for most part because the wagering requirements are inhuman and not possible on those high edged volatile slots.

For me the best bonus type is level up bonus which almost every casino offers these days and it helps both the players and the casino because it can't be cheated and it's a good reason for players to wager and keep playing at a particular casino. If you wager on multiple casinos you basically lose some value.

Now whether a bonus is worth or not depends on what the requirements are. Level up bonuses are good but not "worth" because they give you part of your loss back basically and signup bonuses are most worth if they have modest wager requirements but they are find to find.

yeah, it is still possible in fact I remember seeing a thread where the OP mentioned that he finished his wagering requirement on his/her bonus, but for me, it depends on the wagering requirements. there are some wagering requirements that are so ridiculously hard to finish that you would just be wasting your time.

Since it's free, yes, it's worth it. We can't blame casinos for setting a high wagering requirement because they have to control their bonuses and promotions so they won't be abused which will affect the whole casino. We can reach the requirements if we want to but that shouldn't be our focus. We don't need to get more into gambling just to claim their bonus rewards. Focusing on reaching their wagering requirement will only lead us to more losses.

Casinos have rules and conditions in awarding bonuses, the level of fairness depends on how much you are involved, they run casino development programs and bonuses as objects to attract people to join. Casinos are also part of the business, so they determine bonuses based on conditions and according to the amount of the bet, except for small bonuses that are outside the bets you make.

When people start getting bonuses, they will automatically get involved in it. Talking about bonuses is sometimes impossible, but their target is not about eligibility, but how many people join and gamble with them.

If you like the game, don't chase the bonuses they offer, just make a deposit and play the game you like. If you chase bonuses, of course you will lose a lot of money, because the missions you have to complete are too difficult. But if you play as usual, and get the bonus, of course it's part of luck. The platform owner, of course, has estimated the amount of bonuses they spend with the amount of income they get. If they give it away for free to the majority of users, surely the platform will go out of business in the near future.

You know must people want free money, which always affect lots of people, do you think casino will give you a bonus and they will give easily requirements for the bonus? I don't think so, it's going to affect them also if the requirements is too easily, if you are looking for free money then you should be able to take some risk.
Most people don't really know that bonus is always use to attract customers and after using the bonus, you endup depositing your money and you will keep on gambling with it, I think bonus offer is another marketing strategy but people don't understand. Mostly people that are being given bonus are new people just joining the gambling site, am not saying old users don't receive bonus offer but mostly its new users that do receive.

Personally, I don’t see there is a need to chase for that bonuses because they aren’t really free in the sense that we have to pay first and meet the qualified amount so we can be eligible for that. It’s even a waste of money I guess knowing the chances to win is also very rare and slim. But if you’re just there to have fun alone, then you can gamble as long as you can, but if you want to stay practical, playing for bonuses although profitable but not really something that we are obliged to.

Yes, I can say it’s still profitable for those who will end up lucky winning the bonuses, but if you keep chasing it, it’s definitely like chasing the wind. There are no guarantees that you can win no matter how much you spend to avail the bonuses, so just play it smartly. Of course, you may chose not to go for it because it makes you spend more, or if you’re really here for gambling experience, I guess chasing some bonuses is not that bad as long as you spend on an amount you can afford to lose.

Everything would really be pertaining on how lucky you would be on the time you do gamble,whether you do make use of these bonuses or just simply playing with sole bankroll or capital.
There are ones who is really that interested on using up bonuses to prolong their gambling sessions and there are ones who dont really like to make use of it due into its
terms and conditions or simply its wagering requirement.

It does really vary according into your likings or interest whether you do find out these bonuses to be interesting or just mehh...

Luck is the big part of it, just like what you all are saying bonuses that have wagering requirements are tough and it's something that casino
use to attract gamblers to use their platforms.

Something that in the eyes of a gamblers is very enticing since it's being added to you while you are playing for free, but what's behind
that free is something that really hard to achieved without any luck that will accompany you.

It's your own understanding whether to use it or not but like what I agreeing with you, it's more on luck to freely earned those amounts.

All this kinds of winning are something that come unexpectedly, so if you have hope on it that you will win it with all assurance the person will end up of not having the opportunity to win, secondly, what i notice is that before you win gambling it will be that you have study and master the strategies, and again all these come by a chance, so therefore, i believe that wining of gambling is determined by a chance and grace.

I really want to join every event held by the casino whether it's Christmas and New Year promotions, but unfortunately it takes a lot of money to gamble at their casino to get that bonus because as a little gambler I feel self-conscious for that so I don't expect more in their promotions

Again', it's worth it but I guess you haven't boycotted all the strenuous procedures, the KYCs and ID verification processes just to take an advantage on the bonuses?? Lol... Maybe that's why it flopped yeah, cus they could simply set those bonus options to existing users only, or better still -- to users that have registered 6 months proir the bonuses yunno. Well, it's pretty though when you rush in and get registered on a site just to claim what everyone else is enjoying already; I haven't personally been a part of duelbits, but from my vast experience, I'm sure there are stuffs like that Yeah,.. even more, like some kinda incentives for cashiers and managers, talk more of customers like you? The are alot for sure.... Again, you just have to stick to the T/Cs before you could get 'em.

You are talking about wagering here and we all know that no bonus or promotion is free, it comes at a cost of wagering.

Why do casinos put wagering requirements?

The answer is simple, they want to make sure that we, gamblers, do not take free money home, rather we gamble with our own money plus the bonus, and then if we won, we can withdraw that amount. As we know that winning in gambling is not easy, so most people end up losing their own capital plus the bonus and remain empty handed, even after getting all these bonuses.

For me, my interest in that bonus will depend on the difficulty of the bonus requirements. If I consider it as something beyond my effort, I won't go too far following and fulfilling the requirements just to get that bonus or promotion. Not just my time wasted but also my money where in the end, I'm not even sure if I can make it as sometimes, there's only a limited given to reach that bonus.

Instant bonus is what I want for example, x2 the deposit bonus but the turnover or wagering requirement shouldn't be high to be abe to withdraw the winnings. But if it's something about competition, I will skip that part.

If achieving bonus requirements is too hard for you, casino also allows you to get yourself out of it by forfeiting the bonus yourself. If the requirements are too hefty, like 40x or more wagering requirements for each dollar or relevant crypto you get the bonus in, then it's really not worth it because you may gamble in greed of getting the bonus handy and that's when you'll start making huge mistakes and will lose your capital too.

Bonus is a very important aspect of keeping gamblers and this had been one of the tools that had been making many of the popular casinos to stay on top. I have seen some persons coming to the forum to ask for gambling platforms that are the best in bonus allocation to customers and this had been the major trend because we all need bonus to try out lucks so we can win more bets.
I have won so many free bonuses and spin which had given me extra fund to my portfolio and I don't relent to keep using the casino so I can earn more bonuses.

For most people these bonuses turns out to be traps or something that cant really be that interesting but in overall they are really offering these things just to make it look that the platform is really that active on giving

out bonuses and things into their players or gamblers which would adding up some hype and interest for making people do stay on the platform.For those who do know on how these bonuses works then it would really be
not something to be that revolutionary or something that will really spark out some interest just because terms and conditions arent something that would really be on your side.
You do lose in the end of that gambling session.

If we see the bonus requirement as quite easy or with a bit of effort, we can possibly achieve it, then it's not wrong to give it a try.

But remember that since it's a marketing strategy, expect that we might end up depositing more money just to reach the requirements.

Sometimes players become lazy in the middle of completing the said requirements and ended up giving up.

  -  What can be said about this is that it is also pretty good because it affects gamblers so that they like it even more. Often what I see in these marketing strategies always favors the wealthy.

But for ordinary gamblers like me, I don't know or am sure if I fit the criteria of gambling platforms that have bonuses like this, But I do
hope I'm qualified for this task they have, especially if Duelbits have this kind of bonuses this coming christmas.

A deposit bonus entices a gambler to make repeated deposits on the site, be it small or large amount . And free spins draw gamblers to that site again and again and compel them to continue gambling on that site . Everything is the marketing model and strategy of that site . These strategies are followed by every site until they get huge amount of gamblers for their site but when they become a big company they stop these strategies. And then they automatically acquire new users according to their company's brand value

Know your limit mate , not because there are bonuses meaning this will bring you more winning , remember that you are still dealing with gambling and Luck is your companion here to win.

if not then expect huge losses as you tried winning because it won't come without that luck.

so try only to use your specific amount with or without those bonuses.

As long as the bonus requirement is not too high for the gambler, they will try to get it by depositing the minimum amount set by the casino. But if we feel that the requirements for getting a bonus are too high, we don't need to push ourselves because it's no longer worth trying. After all, the deposit is higher than the budget we made. Giving out the bonus is a way to keep lots of gamblers coming back and it has worked so far for some of the top casinos so it's gotten a few more to give it a try. Especially for this Christmas and New Year's event, casinos will be vying to give gamblers bonuses so that they deposit more money and play at their place.

The managements of casino are varies indecencies that some of them give bonus as you said base on the numbers or the amount you deposited, so it's that particular platform method of giving bonus why other platform of casino give their bonus through a competition, but myself i do not value the bonus of casino, because the bonuses used to be incredible when using and i believe that bonus is something that attracts many people for participating in a platform and why using a bonus it does not add a reasonable values.

But they're free so why get angry if you don't get high profit. You can still make your regular gains by gambling with your deposited money. The free spins are just an encouragement so you deposit more and gamble. If you don't know how to gamble then don't get convince into doing so because of the bonuses that are attached.

If the reward were to be very high as we all expected then the casino will run out of business in no time due to lack of capital to handle all the withdrawal request by their customers. The bonuses are their for motivation and not to make you rich.

profitable = lucky. maybe yes maybe no.


of the many gambling platforms always provide promotions such as free spins, claim bonuses etc, for me it is just for fun with no hope of profit.
because it is very impossible if you expect a bonus or free spin to get a big profit like getting a jackpot.
I am not a skeptic of gambling but I consider gambling as a luxury entertainment with no expectation of profit. because bookies will always win.
it is possible that some people have the good fortune of getting the jackpot from the free spins but that is very rare.
but if you really want to benefit from gambling, you can take your skills from the gambling game you choose and keep betting there until you get a profit without having to expect free spins that are already set unprofitable.

Yes, things like that do happen more often. I even once only finished half of it and got bored in the middle. But for now I prefer to keep finishing and not stop halfway. I will make the decision early. if I predict that I won't have time to finish it then I won't start it. but if I have started then I will try to finish it to the end. However, many bonuses and promotions are being offered at the moment, I think the requirements are not too difficult when we run them.

It depends on the bonus actually. The bonus that I like the most is the reload or the ones that have been given per 15 days and per month because they don't usually have a wagering requirements but the amount of bonus that you can get might depend on your past performance. If you are active in depositing and playing then the bonus that you will get are slightly higher than usual.

Those free spins, free bets, deposit bonus and welcome bonus, do usually have a wagering requirement which is hard to achieve but there might be some gamblers who will take the risk and there will always be someone who will get lucky to claim the bonus successfully.

Bonus is meant to just give gamblers something back for their loses so even losers feel some consolation prize as that is what the bonus like the weekly,reload and monthly bonus do,they measure the past performance of the gambler during the past weeks and month and based on that they give you a certain amount to spend,this can prove pivotal in some cases as maybe just because of such bonuses the player may hit the jackpot in the slot machines or play it to win a big parlay so they are very important part of the experience that the casino give to their gamblers.

Referring to free spins, if it will be automatically granted upon deposits with no turnover requirements, that is worth spending on.

Not promoting the site but winz.io always sending emails about free spin bonuses on a specific casino game based on user deposits.

It's worth trying as having free spins reward is one of the best offers that a casino can give. Don't expect though that winning is assurance.

In my opinion bonuses are worth it and we should always take advantage of them, as long as they are reasonable. It might depend a bit on the bonus itself, for example some bonuses are for high rollers that bet in much larger sizes, or some bonuses could be for gamblers that play every day. It makes sense to have a realistic approach to our gambling habits and see if we meet all the requirements for the bonus. The most common bonus is probably a deposit bonus and I would always recommend to use it. It makes such a huge difference if we get 100 or 200% bonus on our deposit. The second most common bonus is probably free spins and I would also always use them. If there are two similar slot games, but one is offering the chance to win free spins I would always go for it.

I haven't taken my time to claim bonuses except for first deposit bonus and most times tye deposit bonus shouldn't be the one with so many rules and easy to claim.
Outside this very type of bonus which is the welcome bonus, I think every other bonus will have to require you do a lot of task and for that of the wagering bonuses, I feel it's always a dead trap and most of this casinos wouldn't want to make the task an easy one just as people and OP said earlier so as not to give room for abuse.
I'm in the opinion that wagering bonus is just chasing after clouds.

I don't take these things seriously. I've tried free spins before but luck won't just go near me.
Wagering bonus too, but it's difficult to keep up with whales that could use their money to see to it that no one will be in the ranking but their team only.
I just let the gambling site system decide if I am worth the bonus when they see how much I spend.
This is where VIP ranks benefits will come in. The bonus there is really worth the wagered amount. I may be far from reaching a higher VIP rank but everything I do now will add up so I can reap it in the future.

Not only Winz sends emails to its customers to notify certain events or periodic emails to their customers so that they return to the casino. Many of the casinos also provide attractive offers to their customers and finally make them deposit money to get the bonus. That's where we can judge whether the bonus offer will be worth trying to get or let's just let it go, especially if we don't have free money to play gambling. We should choose the right promotion that can comfort us playing gambling.

It's true what you said that it's really hard to keep up with the whales here in crypto gambling, only they always get a lot of free spins and bonuses given by a goat casino here in this industry, to be honest.

It would be nice to be a VIP rank with many benefits as a gambler on a casino platform. But even so, for me, these bonuses are effective for their casino players to tell you honestly.

Free bonus isn't really reliable because it's only a small amount most of the time that isn't worth the shot. This is because, if you aigned up and you were given free spins, you'll have to wager a specific amount first before you could withdraw your prize. They wouldn't let you go off the hook that easily. simply because of course, they are still a business.

Nowadays, it's already seldom to find a website that offers a decent and enticing prize the moment you spin. It's just their way to encourage players to deposit and play. It's up to you whether you'll grab it or not. If you think it is worth it, then go for it. Otherwise, just don't bother to spend time, effort, and fund over it.

That's why if it's about leaderboards, I usually skipped that as there's no way to defeat those whales.

But if reaching the requirements will be based on our own account activity, that might be worth putting a shot at as long as the wagering requirements or related stuff isn't that crazy to achieve.

More importantly, choose a gambling site that has a better loyalty program and make sure every each of our bets is counted as progress like the loyalty program of Stake where every bet contributes to the progress of the account's level.

We always consider that (to attract attention and increase member interest) on every bonus offer at every casino and if we want to complete the bonus it's better as long as we can.

This is the most reasonable attitude because playing in a casino is an activity just for fun as in welcoming the new year.
If the curiosity about the bonus settlement offered is really challenging, don't make it silent, the best advice from us is to give it a try just in case you get lucky.

For the most part, these bonuses are really there as a way for a user to have extra money to try out the games. A very good portion of the time, a player will not be able to complete the terms without a redeposit. I have completed a few bonus offers, but it's never been easy.

By the way, I think that most bonus, especially the deposit bonus are for the new gamblers who register on their site.  Also mostly the new gamblers look to chase after these bonus while more experienced gamblers know that these bonus may give some money to play but they wont be able to meet the wagering requirements in order to withdraw the money from the gambling site.

I think casino bonuses were invented to attract new players. If you're hoping for big winnings from bonuses is silly. A gambler who plays a lot will not pay attention to bonuses most likely. For him it's just a nice addition and incentive to play.

Not certainly in that way. This bonus also has disadvantages - it ties you to one casino and you cannot take advantage of great offers from other casinos. For example, in the case of betting, you cannot place a bet with another bookmaker with better odds because you are afraid of losing your bonus points with your main bookmaker. In fact, all bonuses have both pluses and minuses, which is quite logical - after all, casinos do not want to pay "just like that" without their interest.

Of course, such promotions and offered free spins are obviously a way of attracting new users that's why gambling sites try to make it unique as possible since competition between gambling sites is really tough, and the best marketing promotion will be the one that would be noticed.

As for reaching the wagering requirements, it's really necessary to deposit more in order to achieve it.

Gambling sites won't obviously give free money without an associated task as that promotion will be prone to abuse and cheating.

Every casino, has various ways to get added value from its users. whether it's from bonuses, promotions, bonus big events like the world cup. or all kinds, just to add to the attractiveness and enthusiasm of its use. however, each bonus has requirements that must be met by participating members so that the bonus rewards can be claimed. Regarding success or failure, I think it all depends on each member. if you're serious, chances are that getting the bonus can be achieved.

But what needs to be remembered, it's not just us who want to get bonuses from casino promotions. there are many other members who are also interested in getting, especially bonuses from big events. so it's very natural, if there is a level of difficulty to complete the bonus mission. after all, not everything is difficult. and this depends on what the casino promotes.

For me personally. To be honest, I'm not really interested in the bonuses. except, bonuses from big events like the Qatar world cup event yesterday. for me, gambling is part of the fun which is quite entertaining after work activities. if I'm lucky I consider it a true bonus.

I don't personally have any experience with this platform you are talking about but as far as I know, online casinos will usually offer the bonus or giveaways to attract people's attention and make them use their platfrom, they usually will give the bonus with some hard conditions where you cannot win anything most of the time.
But still of you a free giveaway from any platfrom it worth tying it for earing some money.

Bonuses are marketing strategy to attract both new and potential users into using a casino. And before answering  your question. Have you ever seen any free thing that is worth it? Because if it was worth it, everybody by today would have had it all, but since it's not worth it that's why it's called bonus (i.e free).
Casino bonus is meant to boast the staking odds of a regular or new casino user, and not what you could think you could use alone to rob a casino of it's funds.

They arent created for having no reason which is of course for marketing purposes which they are trying out to hook up players via offering those free spins and bonuses and just let gamblers do see that they could really be having more and believe that they could really take up some advantage against the house which is rather totally opposite on what they do have in mind.Some people or gamblers might be aware and just simply
they are just liking to expand out their capital to make some longer sessions of gambling but most of the time on which gamblers does really have those kind of beliefs which are really that right at all.
Its not worth it, i would say.

But sometimes it will be beneficial, maybe when you have a good rank in that particular Casino? bonuses will be overflowing since you are one of those good players and frequent gambler it will be depend on the situation as always so we cannot close the fact that bonuses are just for marketing because it will be a win win scenario for the both parties The more bonus it will be the better since it can really attract people and will make some to stay or to shift from another.

Another good purpose of bonuses and additional perks is to reach those gamblers who are playing using other platforms if they
see that the site are offering better bonuses they might be engaged and start using it.

Though I agree with what you said, depends on your rank and how you really enjoy your stay with the site, chasing for bonuses
as addition to your enjoyment, may count.

All in all, experienced and the amount that you will get from the offer bonus may depend on your take.

If you can complete it, yes that's much better but just have fun and see the difference of able to enjoy without thinking of the completion of bonus and the opposite of it.

We all knew where we're coming from if we step or start to gamble. It's your money, your rules and your reason to be there.

So, basically you can do anything that you want as you wish if you want to get those bonuses or not.

At the end this is a decision that each gambler needs to answer on their own, when I gamble since I prioritize my fun over anything else even if I get a good bonus I may not use it, as I could not feel like gambling at the time or I have something else to do at that moment.

Now I know that not everyone has the same posture and that is fine, if someone wants to make the most out of the bonuses they can receive from their favorite casino they can do that too, since using bonuses on that way can help you to gamble for longer periods of time while at the same time it minimizes your losses as well.

Not just gambling sites.  No one wastes money for all types of business.  Businessmen always spend money to perform a particular task. And they close those free tasks after achive their potential profits. Gambling sites offer free spins and other incentives for this. this is only truth

Wow, nice! In this case, spending (or rather, wagering) is definitely worth it, because even if we assume the maximum failure and loss of 2k, the reward is still greater (or I misunderstood and -2k is the result, and wagering was much more?). By the way, do you remember the total wagering you made to reach this level? I mean from zero.

If you have an honest casino with a reputable status, it is definitely worth considering using a bonus. Be careful with a bonus that you only get with a certain deposit, since you then have to unlock this bonus and that turns out to be very difficult in practice. There can be huge conditions to clear the bonus. You also have a cashback bonus. There are normally no conditions attached to this, but the moment you get them you have already lost a considerable amount in the casino. That is more of a plaster on the wounds that have arisen. And I think the most important thing is to keep a close eye on the terms and conditions.

The information about how much any Stake players to reach each level is available to be read here: https://help.stake.com/en/articles/4974712-how-to-calculate-your-vip-progress but let me quote it for you to make it easier:


As he is now on Platinum V, means that he has wagered at least $5 million to reach his current VIP level.
For low bankroll gambler like me, wagering $5 million is so huge amount absolutely but I'm going to this level now and 90% remaining to reach Platinum V lol which means that I still need to wager 90%*$2.5 million (please calculate yourself  ;D )
Of course it is not wise to chase any level just for the level up bonus, we should play as what like only and enjoy our progress then take the level up bonus as a surprise side bonus.
Seleme is correct, the right time to chase the next level is when we are getting closed to the next level, maybe no more than 10% remaining of the progress.

But to know if it was worth it you'd have to sum up all the cost of getting previous ranks. If you got 3.2k for rank 5 it looks good, but if you add that getting from 1 to 4 made you lose more money than you got from the bonus it doesn't look that tempting anymore.

As it was said, if you had to wager 5 million to get that bonus, it's already like nothing. 3k has almost no value for someone who deals in millions. Even if you were spending less than 2 mill a year there and it took you 2 and a half years to get there, gambling with something like 1.5 million USD a year is considered an extreme high roller. You're probably in 0.1% of gamblers!

From my experience, it usually isn't worth it, but there can be some extreme cases. You have to do the math every time and keep having fun playing instead of chasing wins, points, ranks and bonuses. They're there to keep you occupied and introduce new inputs that make you lose focus. With how much you've spent I'm pretty sure you weren't thinking about that bonus when you were doing it ;)

Depends on the bonus type I guess, there are different types of bonuses. But in the end, it's like chasing a wind, if you get lucky (with some big wins) you will catch a nice wind that can take you high, and if you are not so lucky (wich happens more often in gambling) you will just lose.


But we are playing for wins, points, ranks, higher levels, and bonus drops of any kind. All that makes playing even more interesting. Of course, winning something more doesn't happen to everyone, it's why most of the time bonuses don't worth the money we spent, but it's gambling...

Why would they? I mean the purpose of a casino is to make sure that you end up gambling with it, and a purpose of any business is to make a profit. If they give you money where you can just withdraw then it wouldn't make any sense at all.

I am guessing that it's not going to be as simple as just wanting some part of it, obviously everyone would want to have something that would work great for them in the long run and casinos just want to give something to you while not giving anything to you at the same time to attract you to their casino. They will give you a welcome bonus with 40x rollover bonus so you would get nothing, but you would at least deposit and lose money that way.

Agree with. It's somehow impossible to think that we can meet the eligibility without doing several deposits.

If efforts have already been made and lots of deposits have already been made, it just makes sense for a user to just continue depositing to reach the bonus requirements. Users really have to put a serious dedication if they really wanted to get that bonus.

It's really important for users to truly understand all the mechanics of the bonus requirements. Expect that some terms are really hard to comply with.

Sometimes it worth chasing but such rare cases are user is close to next level less than 3%. I have personally done it before because the reward worth much more than sum of deposits I made to make it even if bad luck takes away my deposits. In reality, I don't suggest anyone doing it since it can be very bad idea if things don't work in your favor. Now make a math before depositing and play house games with lower house edge to lose less during wager.

Also, the bonus is another way to have extra funds to rank up in the casino VIP system.  Since VIP ranking is very important, especially to those who are serious to gamble in a casino due to perks and bonuses available on the higher VIP rankings.

If we think to bag the bonus with xtimes of wagering requirement then I think we will not be happy with the result because more often than not, we cannot fulfill that wagering requirement but if we aim to hit higher VIP ranks, any extra amount for wagering is helpful.

I think what makes a bonus terrible is limiting the amount I can win. It's usually already nearly impossible to beat, but if by some miracle I am going to beat it I like to be able to win more than a few bucks.

Getting to 3% away would only piss me off BTW.

Meeting such levels isn't that simple but not that we can say that level of difficulty is really too extreme.

If the overall progress to the next level is around 3% then it's clear that the user didn't do much effort and spending.

As you said, it's a rare case that's why don't expect to meet such terrible requirements in most cases in any bonus-related promotions.

That's one condition in most bonuses, there's a need to unlock it and it will be based on how much you'll be wagering and the required amount for you to have it.
Reputable casinos have no problems with this and you can count on them but to those that have been just new and not yet known, there's a tendency that they might not release it even if you're eligible.

I feel you considering the bonus amount is somewhere around $100  and you are able to withdraw at most $10 or less due to the wagering requirement eats almost all the bonus money.  It is such a waste of time and possibly cause of frustration which is not beneficial at the end.

---

Casino bonuses worth it if the bonus does not require wagering.  There are casino promotions that does not have any wagering requirement so I think we should always check the mechanics of any promotions and bonuses the casino offers so that we can avoid the ones that we think will give us headaches and frustrations.

For a user that is a regular user on that site, there's no need to chase level but just gamble on usual. Not even to the point that we should think about reaching those levels. It's not also a usual bonus but that was a LOYALTY REWARD for playing on that site regularly.

It's an advantage for regular players on that site as every bets count as their progress and they just need to continue playing there at their usual. With continued playing, they might not realize that they are already close on such levels even if they are not really targeting that levels.

Chasing implies you dont perhaps intend to bet, if you were going to bet anyway then its quite fair to claim the bonus.  If you bet almost reluctantly then perhaps its not the ideal betting strategy you employ, if depends how comfortable you are when playing I think as to how your luck might also proceed.   Claiming a bonus is just like a offer to shop you might get when going shopping, dont buy what you dont want as they wont be a bargain.  If you get my reasoning on that level I think you know what I mean, its like a cashback but you have to be wanting to play anyway imo dont expect a bonus to right every wrong or change the luck especially, its just some cashback in effect for bothering to play there.

Casino sites offer a variety of offers in addition to a marketing strategy to compete with other casinos.  Because now almost all casinos are giving different types of bonuses so if a new site is not willing to give bonuses then no one will want to use their casino site.  So to keep up and compete with other casinos almost all casinos offer many attractive offers and bonuses at the beginning.

At least, I agree with what you say because chasing levels is very difficult and requires a lot of money to be spent on gambling tables. But if we play as usual, we will arrive at each level and won't even notice it. We spend our free time playing gambling, there is no specific target and voila, we have made it through a certain level and are ready to move on to the next level.

This also won't be a burden for us because targets will chase us to reach a certain level within a certain period. If we can use our free time to play gambling relaxedly, we will surely enjoy every moment and not feel like we have exceeded the level limit.

Crypto gambling sites have evolved tremendously. With the development of this industry day by day, it also has a lot of competition. And in order to survive in this competition, a gambling or casino site must offer a variety of competitive offers. If gamblers find their trust then the site will definitely rise to a good position. Offer or promotion is an important issue in present times. No matter what approach is adopted for marketing the gambling sites, development of the sites cannot be expected if the gamblers are not provided with attractive bonuses or offers on a regular basis.

Referring to where this series of quotes started, I didn't even realize that I was already so close to leveling up my progress on Stake.

I didn't bother to check my progress as I think that was not achievable and out of hand but I just continue gambling regularly there.

Good to see that kind of program where losses also have a role lol.

Most of the bonuses started by casinos' sites are air voice bonuses, it cannot be realized it real life. Though some give but can only use to play a bet and can't be withdraw. Some give without depositing anything while some give when the gambler deposit first. One thing I discovered from this bonuses giveaway is that, the bonuses give by these casinos do not last. Mostly the casinos that give bonuses without the deposit required, their bonus does not last. But the ones with deposit bonus last longer. What I mean is that the cutting rate is differ. Yes, this has been discussed in some other threads about the bonus abusers. To avoid bonus abuse there are terms and conditions follow.

Wow. Compared to these amounts, 3.2k seems like sheer nonsense. Although it is clear that any cashback is pleasant, plus the player usually plays not for the sake of cashback, but for the sake of winnings/adrenaline. And I know (although I have received much smaller cashbacks) that it is always nice to receive this money, as it can be said to be a bonus/surprise.

Who the hell is Diamond 5, wowsers.   Elon Musk and Drake maybe qualify for that.  I know revenue is not the same as overall spend exactly, the money goes around in circles but thats impressively high figures :D   It should also be said pretty much anyone who plays occasionally will also get some sort of monthly bonus type thing to claim, to help you restart your betting and put down on the next game or spin etc.     They most recently did something for the xmas runup.

And that's the point, bonus abusers are everywhere that's why casinos implement wagering requirements or similar to combat with those
bonus abusers and protect their business.

I think you can use the bonus if you are good in dealing with the game that you will be playing, it can extend your game time and give you
additional chance to win if ever luck permits, and you manage to wager the required amount.

Always depends from how gambler see the opportunities and how they will take it when receiving the bonus.

The reward programs at stake.com are very nice, there is a big difference between stake.com and other casinos, because now when you compare with other casinos, there are always bonuses and promotions that can make a difference, but there are players who don't like them. I like these bonuses, because there is an associated wagering, I particularly do not like things, it is for this reason that I believe that the casinos that are very reliable and totally outstanding, here is the difference between stake.com and other casinos , and that is why stake.com always remains among the first places of the best casinos, they are always in the top 5 of the best, when reviews of casinos are made and I do not see that stake.com is there, for me they are frauds .

Drake in the World Cup final match made a bet on the Stake platform with a very large value and it looks like Drake managed to win so I believe Drake has the opportunity to get the benefits offered by the Stake platform. For rich people like Drake it will not be easy to reach the target it's because they have so much money.

Yes this is true and I agree with you not only gambling site but for every business an important aspect of traders is how well they are able to promote themselves and how much they are able to offer more benefits than other traders and how satisfied the customers are with their benefits.  So the more satisfied a gambling site's customers are, the more the site's reputation will grow and new gamblers will keep coming.  So casino sites have to be very active and alert for bonus marketing and other special action strategies

It's good to see you are so close to increasing your level in Stakes. I also never tried to find out where my position was because it made me feel like a target was chasing me to reach it soon. That's what we must do if we want to play gambling relaxedly without any burden because our purpose in gambling is to find entertainment. It will be much safer for us when we can also manage the money we will use and will not interfere with using the money for other things, especially for our family.

i don't know if all gambling sites that hold giveaways, give real and honest bonuses to their users, but what is certain is that the bonuses issued by gambling sites that i often play are really worth it.  like the new member bonus - giveaways - a bonus as a loyal member, it's really worth it imo.

since you mentioned duelbits and christmas giveaway then in my experience there are several challenges that are not difficult to follow such as betting on a World Cup match with a bet amount of $ 10 with min oods 1.5 to get freespins, also deposit cashback which before changes apply was quite profitable and lucky to be able to get completing these challenges get prizes and also win in slots.
But I rarely chase casino bonuses because the requirements are very high, so in my opinion players have to be careful and take into account all the possibilities that can be achieved, but more than that, they must be prepared to lose.

That's right, any cashback, even if it's only $1, is pleasant, because if you play not for obtaining a bonus, but just for your pleasure, and you are suddenly given some money out of nowhere, you can't be anything but happy about that. But if you want not just a few dollars per month but thousands, you have to wager millions for that. And even though you could be in profit after wagering millions,  I personally wouldn't recommend such behaviour.

Cashback is only a very small percentage of your wagered money. So yes, should not really expect this at the end of your game.
Don't chase the amount of cashback that you will get, because you will end up spending a lot of money.
If you are not in the position to spend such significant amount of money, just play on what you can afford and be grateful if you will get something as cashback.
You are not playing in the casino just to get a cashback, right? Bonuses, cashback or rewards are just like additional perks where you don't need to make extra effort of spending much just to avail those perks.
So thinking that a certain bonus is worth it or not, for me is not a consideration whether you will play on a casino or not.

In the end bonuses are just consolation prizes for gamblers in loss, so part of their losses are diluted thanks to bonuses and cashback received in counterpart. There isn't any strategy to be used to take advantage of such offers. Gamblers just have to play normally, like they would if there weren't any promotions available, without expecting anything back. And if they earn anything extra they weren't waiting for, I'm sure that will be seen as a great surprise.

Giveaways, on the other hand, were the real advantage for gamblers, since they could simply claim a reward without requirements. But they don't exist anymore.

Yes, that's right. The casino provides bonuses as consolation prizes in exchange for turn over from the games we make or bonuses from cashback deposits we make. in essence, the casino provides a consolation prize for its users who have experienced losses, but it all depends on the casino. because every casino always has policies and rules that are different from other casinos. as for what Op asked in this thread, such as bonuses from celebratory events such as the world cup event, Christmas giveaway and others.

it all depends on the user, if you want to get bonuses from giveaways, or bonuses from other events. in fact, a person can claim it if he has fulfilled all the requirements without exception. even so, for me playing gambling is fun entertainment. I like to play slot machines, roulette, baccarat but what is more dominant is sports betting. and the most important part is the sensation, the sensation of pleasure when betting and there is an adrenaline rush for it. if I'm lucky, I consider it part of the bonus on something nice.

Well, anyone who has a huge amount of bankroll can chase VIP level to have the reward in the shortest possible interval. ;D  But for us minnows, even if we chase the ranking, we will only get frustrated because we have a little amount of money compared to those whales.  So yean, small time player can just play regularly and forget about chase rushing the VIP rank status.



It won't be a burder if we are not in a hury and has patience for long period of wagering accumulation to level up in VIP and claim extra bonuses the VIP level offered.

Its not consolation prizes and it doesnt really act that way but rather making things or situation do gets more worst.Im not really making myself believe that casinos or businesses in related to be having sympathy

into those people who are losing into their site which means that they are always looking for profit and bonuses are just making those situations more better since the house is really at the advantage.
all the time.
This is why if you are a bonus hunter or something like this then you would really be finding for yourself that these things arent really putting you
on advantage but rather on the opposite.

Then these users you are referring to are not good bonus hunters lol.

A good bonus hunter knows and understands how to take advantage of those and will "ONLY" just hunt those achievable bonuses and promotions that are possible to reach even for casual and average gamblers without spending too much.

They know just by reading the terms if a certain bonus is worth trying or not.

Just look at the games and rounds section and you'll see a bunch of them giving them away.

Welcoming bonuses are very encouraging, to the new registrations that have come to a casino, they're making them want to go back and if the requirements aren't that much. It's what the users are coming back but, the reason why many casinos are too strict on it, they want to avoid being cheated by abusive people.

Lol, not just because someone is a good bonus hunter means that they always get to achieve their goal of earning on these bonuses will limited funds to play with.  Also, most casinos' bonuses are made not to be abused which is why it is harder for bonus hunters to earn from it without risking their bankroll.

Good bonus hunter just means that they are better at leveraging their funds while earning from bonuses with lesser risk, but it does not mean that it is always guaranteed that they'll earn from it.

I think you are not getting the picture of what I'm saying.

Since they are called hunters, they are supposed to only choose to participate in bonus-related campaigns if they think that they can handle that properly.

Obviously, these hunters are better at how to leverage their funds but to make it more effective, they will only choose the bonus that will make things smoother compare to dealing with a bit more struggle.

As you said, there's no guarantee that they will earn from it therefore they will be picky on what bonus they will be involved.

That's what a "real hunter" does.

Bonus hunters tend to know how to play around the risks and make the most out of their $ to get to the tiers of bonuses that they need to achieve. They also have lots of dedication and patience to just play and play until they can activate any bonus. If that were me, I'd surely give up in the first 5 mins and just play normally. I hate chasing bonuses; it's almost always hard and my bankroll is, most of the time, not enough to last me a session that can activate bonuses for myself.

The situation gets worse only if the gambler won't stop playing because he is too addicted chasing bonuses rewards. It's a big mistake to play because of bonuses. As I said previously, gamblers should play normally as there weren't any bonuses and extra rewards involved on the process. If they earn something else in the end due to those bonuses that will be an welcome surprise, and that is all, but never the primarly goal of a gambling session.

About sympathy, I think some casinos have some empathy for gamblers, especially the ones immersed in huge losses. I've already seen cases of gamblers who lost money they couldn't afford to lose, so they contacted the casino support and asked for more cashback than the regular cashback another gamblers have access. Depending the situation I know some casinos accept the gamblers' demand, although they don't recover the money entirely, anyway.

In this that i agree , almost every casino has their set of bonuses that wanted to push for the players but the real deal here? this is a win win situation for them because the more you chase for bonuses is the more you deposit and wager so the more you do this ? then the site is benefiting so with all of those they are the winner here and we as gamblers only has small chance to take from them.
better to learn how to deal with those before engaging because this might bring you also to more gambling activities and chasing the bonus but losing is what you've got.

I think casino's promotion only give a benefit for those who win the contest, at least a wager contest where the requirement only need to wager a lot money, if the contest is random picked, they don't have a way to know if they're win or not.

Usually the promotion is worth it since you could lose on gambling, but with the promotion reward it can recover some portion or make you get little profit. Of course the casino already make a calculation to make sure the prize isn't exceed with the profit that they will got from house edge.

I agree.The casinos should be very careful with those welcome bonuses as the cheaters and abusers create different accounts just to take profit from those bonuses.Casinos though are one step ahead than the cheaters and they put wagering requirements which rarely you can pass them before withdrawing so that is being used as a tool to stop abusers because if the bonuses had no wagering requirements the casinos would have no way to forbid cheaters from abusing these bonuses.

Welcome bonuses not always effective how to make many gambler interested for active on gambling platform and get higher traffic, have been excited way for cheater get welcome bonuses and used it for withdrawing or the are have small wager before withdrawing and make another account again. I think not matter with welcome bonus but have adopted with KYC procedure until have wager maximum until $2,000 for ability withdrawing from welcome bonuses.
Not good ideas when adopting welcome bonuses for earn higher traffic and many people registering trough have welcome bonuses, after event ended actually traffic of gambling platform will drastically drop from gambler.

Casinos are now really careful because they are well-aware about the cheating issues and abusive instances that people are doing from their platform. These concerns are one of the main reasons why casinos are now imposing a stricter rules and policies the players should abide.

Casinos put wagering requirement for players to withdraw their prizes in promotions because they knew if they won't, people will just create multiple accounts to get as much money as they could and want, due to the system's shortcoming. Meanwhile, KYC was also made to avoid multiple accounts as well and to avoid abusing the campaigns and bonuses intended for new players.

Of course it is definitely better to maximize all the casino bonuses being offered as long as you do not violate any of their TOS. My recommendation, especially this Christmas, is to take all the bonuses possible (of course depending on your capital) and gamble your resources responsibly. But in all honesty, I would much prefer to gamble in an online casino that has been proven to be genuine than an online casino that is relatively new but with generous bonuses.

Remember that security is the number one key in gambling. Even if another gambling website offers more bonuses, always prioritize those gambling websites that have been around for years for maximum security on your funds.

Other than wagering requirements a casino can also require a KYC and then they have a system that detects multiple accounts from a single user. This makes it hard to be cheated. If there will be successful I think that will only be the hackers if they are good enough because they can bypass any mediocre security.

If a casino has no wagering requirements then they will lose easily not just from the abusers but also to the legit users that will try the bonus. A welcome bonus can only be availed one time so it isn't the one that make the legit players come back but it can be the games, the ambiance, and other services that the gambling site is offering.

the welcome bonus even though it is not 100% effective but it will definitely be 50% effective, that means not all gamblers run away when they get a welcome bonus, many of these gamblers will be loyal to the gambling site. I also really agree with your suggestion, that is to make a minimum withdrawal for winning gamblers using the welcome bonus so that there are no get-run tricks.


New gambling sites have a still high risk of bugs, I also won't have too much interest in playing there but we have to see the team behind the online casino, if it's managed by a professional team then I'm sure their security will be very good.

Yeah it's still possible because if you follows the requirements then there is every possibilities that you would be given the bonus otherwise if you didn't meet the requirements then nothing for you as well.
Eg, like the Duelbits you made mentioned of if they don't set up a limits number of persons that would be needed to meet up with the bonuses.

Casino bonuses could be worth it if you are willing to wager the specific amount indicated in the TOS in the very beginning. If you happen to win a good amount of prize in casino spin or whatever promotion they are offering, you could utilize it if you are to adhere in their policies.

However, if you don't want to fulfill what they ask you to do, then most probably you are just wasting your time in playing for the bonuses that you won't even have the chance to use and withdraw. Welcome bonuses are enticing, yes. But you should take note of the features and process of the casino you are going to play to. Otherwise you'll just put yourself in trouble for chasing bonuses for new players. Some casinos still give a good welcome bonus for beginners, but it shouldn't be your priority if you want a casino to play for good. Quality of service is still what will make you stay in the long run.

If you want to profit from that bonus, then - no because there is a very high chance that you'll end up losing both, deposit and bonus money together but if you want to extend your gaming session, then sure it worth. When you deposit 1 btc and get additional 1 btc bonus, if your true intention is gambling, then sure you can play two times more with 100% bonus.

That is correct. Those with large bankrolls can do it more quickly than those who only use small amounts of money. In addition, those who only play gambling occasionally don't really care about the level and play just for fun. One day, we will reach the VIP level too, even if it takes a long time.

It's better for us to play casually while enjoying all the casino gambling games than to rush after the VIP level because that can make us lose a lot of money. It won't be worth it if we can get to the VIP level but lose a lot of money, although that will be the same if we play casually. But if we could reach the VIP level casually, we would never expect it.

It's true that you can have that, and you can extend your stay inside the house using that bonus, the only thing is you needed to meet the
wagering amount for you to withdraw your winnings.

There are always corresponding requirements which most of the time is the reason why gamblers losses their funds while trying to reach
the requirements.

It's all on your appetite if you think you can reach it and you can win when you choose to use your bonus.

It is really just trying to prolong the game but not something that you could make assurance that you could able to get out with those wagering requirements and this is why i do really lost interest on
claiming any bonuses or just simply skip and ignore it out since we know on what are those common mechanics which is simply that a standard thing.Is it worth it? If you do like to gamble
more just like on what you said then it would be worth, but if you do aim for making profits then its not something that recommendable for you to hook on.
Its up to you whether you do take it or not.

Casinos are very aware of the dangers that giving a high welcome bonus can entail for them, after all they give those bonuses to try to bring gamblers to their website and gain them as long term clients.

And while there are some users out there that would like to abuse their offers, the wager requirements they attach to those bonuses basically guarantee that it is almost impossible for the average gambler to successfully cheat them, and when you add KYC policies and the tracking of suspicious accounts this takes care of the rest.

That bonuses has terms that still favors the gambling site, it's not an easy money because there are rollover requirements that we have to comply before we can finally withdraw the bonus, before it will happen, we will already run out of bankroll. I'm not saying it's impossible to win but most likely we will  lose as gambling site or casinos do always have the edge over us.

just enjoy it, don't think too much like making a living in gambling because it will never happen.

yes, all casinos have learned from previous casino experiences regarding promotions and welcome bonuses so that they are not abused by fraudsters who are always looking for loopholes. Actually the bonuses for new users offered by casino sites today are very effective. attracting newcomers to try their casino and letting them know whether newcomers will like it or not. But to be honest, for now, almost all casinos have services that are quite satisfactory and make users quite comfortable and feel at home. because competition in casinos is now even tougher. so that all casinos try to offer us decent promotions and bonuses.

And we, as gamblers, small, medium, or large gamblers, must be able to choose a casino that can provide good service for us because we can feel how the service they have provided us is. Many casinos continue to provide attractive promotions for gamblers, including their regular members who continue to gamble at the casino. But some promotions are used to attract the attention of other gamblers to try to experience a different experience from the casino so they want to feel it. And indeed there will be requirements from the casino if a gambler wants to get certain bonuses. And the casino can also prevent people who want to abuse the promotion so that the promotion that is carried out can hit the target they want.

That's why I trust the casino regarding to their marketing plans and campaigns because I know that they know how to manage bonuses and their funds without losing too much from them. Bonuses is one of the thing that I am searching for a casino, it gives more impression to me aside from  security of course. They also learn some things from other casinos as well they only differ to the amount of bonuses and the rules how to get it.

I think it would be better and more interesting if there were ongoing bonuses or events at a casino. The point is when the casino often gives events or offers to get certain bonuses in the form of money prizes, transaction discounts, and so on which are given continuously. So it's not just one big event. But more to their continuity in promoting and providing rewards for its users. Especially if they get more users with the various bonuses
 Who doesn't like bonuses? Even though sometimes it's a little annoying because the T&C are too complicated and complex.

One way to look at the bonus from casino site is that they give you bonus to play at the site. You can enjoy the game with this free money without worrying about the wagering requirement to withdraw that bonus.

Those gamblers only purpose is to withdraw that bonus, and not enjoy playing gambling, they remain in tension and become sad when they lose everything while wagering.

Actually I never go for gambling bonuses as I never see it necessary as well. Because it’s still another way of making the house more profitable since you can’t play them free without spending the required amount. So it’s like spending money and lose them eventually. However, there might still be lucky winners possible, but we don’t know the amount they lose before they achieved winning from free spins.

If we do already know those wagering requirements or threshold then you would already lost up interest specially if you do have experienced it back in the past.No matter how it would be good looking
or really that generous then it wont really be that much different and it would really be still needing for you to reach up that particular requirement before you could able to make up some withdrawal.
It is really just that hard and if you arent that lucky enough then you wont really be able to make through until you do bust up all of your gambling account balance.
You would surely be not to turn your head into those bonuses if  you do have that unpleasant experience on it.

Like I did, a bonus sort of promotion is another option. except, if there are big events like the world cup event in Qatar yesterday. Apart from liking this type of soccer betting, plus event bonuses provide strong motivation to fulfill the available requirements so that we can claim these benefits.

Even so, almost every casino always has a bonus feature provided to its users. and I think this is a natural thing and is part of their marketing management to increase the attractiveness of its users. after all, not all types of bonuses have difficult requirements, there are also easy ones, but the rewards offered are not large and that's very reasonable. so basically it depends on how we react to it, if the bonus is worth following and there's nothing wrong with that. but if not, we can still choose other options and play the game we like. and I guess, it's that simple.

That's what the house wants, to gamble more and get to join those giveaways and bonuses. It's part of the strategy in making a user spend more on them and that's why if you don't like it and you don't go for it but you still gamble, that's okay.
There are other more exciting thing that you can find in a house where you're playing and it's not just all about the bonuses that they're showing so that they can have more gamblers deposit and spend it on them. But remember that when you enter a casino, physically or online, you're aware that you've got to lose all of it.

The house wants more people playing so the bonus will be a strategy for more people to come and stay
They give away part of their marketing budget as a way to acquire new costumers. Some
Of them will stay

These businesses always calculate their LTV

It's all worth it as long as you have used a lower bankroll compared to a bonus. But if you are going to exchange a bigger bankroll just to chase a bonus lower than your balanced, aren't you a little bit silly? Just try harder to chase those green instead and you will achieve one or a few of the requirements without realizing it. Not all but some of those bonuses are meant for HR so just go with your play and don't focus much on bonuses.

I understand about it always playing with money that is not big, at least I can use the bonus to play there and try to get lucky but usually constrained by the requirements so I never get any bonus

   - In casinos, they are really careful and let's say that other gamblers can create multiple accounts because of the promotions that a gambling casino has.

But I also believe that KYC is implemented to prevent dummy accounts, but KYC is also sometimes used by exploitative casinos, especially for beginners in the crypto space who use KYC to prevent a gambler who wins their platform of great value.

Not all promotions comes with wagering requirement, promotions such as wagering contest, vip reward, multiplier contest, or some other promotions has no wagering requirement. Only promotions such as deposit bonus, no deposit bonus or free spins bonus comes with wagering requirement. Coming up to KYC, we should never worry about it as long as we do not do something against the terms.

That is another important aspect we should not forget, a bonus is only helpful if it fits into our usual gambling habits. In general I like to take advantage of as many bonuses as possible. If something is free why not use it for our advantage. But you are right that a big bonus could lead us to gamble above our means and to spend too much money in an effort to try and unlock the bonus. We need to be realistic when it comes to bonuses, some are only meant for high rollers and we won't be able to use them. The risk of chasing a bonus that is above our means is that we lose our whole bankroll in the process. That's why I am such a big fan from free spins. You get them mostly random while gambling and never really focus on them in the first place. It's a nice addition during a gambling evening but it's never my focus to only gamble for that bonus.

It is very possible to complete gambling bonuses and also to claim them provided you meet the requirements which just as OP said, it isn't easy and most times it also seems impossible especially when the player is already making so much losses.
Talking about profitability, I reallu don't see it as been profitable especially with regards to the time and effort that would be invested in claiming the bonuses as well as tye emotional entanglement that possibly might be involved because of the consciousness to meet up some certain requirements to claiming the bonus prices.
I personally wouldn't advice anyone to go after trying to claim bonuses unless is a welcome bonus or a Cashback or possibly a deposit bonus but I will be certain to also advice to check the terms associated with those bonuses.

If you can't participate in the promotion this time, you can try to participate in the next promotion to give you more opportunities to get the bonus. Trying to get a bonus is a normal thing that gamblers want because they think it will be like a return on the deposit they have made, even though the result may be that they won't win some money. But the casino continuously gives promotions that make us want to get them. And we indeed have to know our own limits, so we don't use excess money to play gambling.

There are some risks involved in chasing the next Vip rank, you may lose more than what you will get as a bonus amount but it may be doubled with the lucky winning session. At the end of the day, it is gambling, don't deposit the money you can't afford to lose. I have done it before but recovered it quickly with a bonus amount thanks to the lucky Plinko strategy, otherwise, it may lead to losing more than expected loss due to chasing win streaks. The requirement of the next Vip rank should be affordable btw since it is not the same as wagering $100k or $1mln for the next Vip rank.

VIP rank? Are you referring to a sort of Loyalty Program?

If that is, there are no risks in chasing the VIP ranks since that's supposed to be a lifetime benefit. Every bet amount wagered regardless if won or lose is counted as progress on your next VIP rank or level.

Or did I misunderstand what you are trying to point out?

The reality is, users will really end up depositing more of their extra money in able to reach the eligibility requirements for the said promotions.

I don't see what's the point of having an interest in joining promotions if they don't have the expectation that will really end up doing several deposits.

Setting limits is fine but might not be followed properly if aiming for getting the rewards on bonuses or promotions.

True. Expect this to happen if you're determine to get the bonus rewards. Because for sure it won't be easy to achieve if you only have small funds, unless you're lucky to win and able to meet the requirements without doing a several deposits.

Hence if you're not confident that you can do the asked wagered amount within your set limits when you gamble, then better to refrain yourself.

If gamblers forget these limits, they will only spend their money without being able to try to recover previous losses and this has happened time and time again with many gamblers. Trying to get bonuses from deposits will be okay as long as we can know the limits we have because there is no point if we spend so much money just to chase those bonuses. Apart from that, trusted casinos will always provide other bonuses in the future and at that moment, we can try to follow them.

yes, that is true. we don't need to be afraid when asked by KYC to take advantage of promotional bonuses as long as we don't abuse these promotions. but some fraudsters in gambling sometimes they force themselves to do KYC just for the sake of a deposit bonus to get profits and take advantage of the bonus.

That is why you must discern whether the bonus you are shooting for is worth dropping in a few extra dollars above your supposed gambling budget. Modt often it is not, because you'll end up fostering unhealthy habits like ovrdepositing without you really knowing about it. That being said there are other bonuses out there that are worth it. For instwnce, free spins after depositing is a good example. There are others but this is the most common form of a casino bonus that you might not wanna pass up. Then again, the decidion is entieely on your hands.

The deposit bonuses always have the wagering requirements, so it is not an easy winning one. Bonuses were really important and a must one with gambling, because gamblers easily loss their funds and it is the bonuses that keep them little pacified. Last month most of the Stake users have received two monthly which is really big and the Christmas Days went good out of it.

As long as you know your limit and you are good at managing your bankroll, aiming for bonuses is not bad. You just need
to know how to limit yourself to prevent overspending your money.

There are people who can enjoy the bonus, treating it as an additional way to extend the stay and continue enjoying whatever
gambling, they are involved.

But the outcome depends on luck and if how you manage your time and money while playing.

But if you are aiming to earn points for VIP ranking then having a wagering requirement for a deposit bonus is not a problem since we are going to wager them all anyway. What matters, in this case, is how huge the bonus is, other casinos give 200% of the initial deposit while others is just 50%.  I used to ignore this kind of bonus but when I realized the important to VIP ranking,  I claim anything that will add fund to my bankroll to be used in collecting points for VIP rank up.
