Enticing promo banners but tncs that make these promos largely useless and these tncs aren't obvious from looking at banners. Upon click they redirect you to login/registration page whereas I feel click on to banner should redirect user to that particular promo's tnc.

You mean terms and conditions?
Entering the T&C is not possible for a banner ad as space is usually limited. Also this is one trick to get someone to start betting impulsively if the advert is published by the casino.
However, most of the ads circulating are affiliate links so they don't even direct you to the T&C of the promo at all. I also often find expired promos among them.

Perhaps because these promotional banners are primarily designed to attract user's attention and curiosity? I mean you can't experience these bonuses if the user does not interact with the casino (e.g., registration, KYC etc..) because of course, usually, these bonuses does not exist when they do not have an account in the first place. And maybe it's the player's prerogative to read the rules whenever they feel like to participate to the said promotional bonuses.

It's just their way to convert traffic into their own customers, if I understood you correctly.

The prime factor behind these promotions were to attract the users. In such way the promotions will direct you towards the registration page or into the home page of the casino. When we were able to connect through the promotion we should also have the awareness to go through the terms and conditions. Even if the terms and conditions were added we just go click agree and proceed further without going through the terms. This happens out of the urge to enjoy the promo. Later while experiencing some problem we'll start reading the terms and conditions.

I do agree that it is somewhat very tricky, and if you are going to observe it, that's how everyone is doing not just in crypto industries. Their promotion is geared on new set of players or those who wants to try it because their promotion is very attractive.

I'm not saying that they are doing it to mislead, but from what I observed, this seems to be the norm for any sector and business.

So it's  very important to read the T&C very closely before joining their promotions.

Casinos are only trying to increase traffic to their website and regarding the terms and conditions of the bonus it is the responsibility of the player to first find out about it before deciding to take part in the bonus or prefer to play normally, if the terms and conditions, for example regarding wager req, are directly listed on the banner if it is high sure there will be no players who will click on the banner because they already know that it is difficult to be able to benefit from the bonus.

There's few casinos being transparent with their terms of service of the promotion, but many casinos are tend to ask the user to create a new account first. It just a way to attract new gambler, it's tricky but they're not scam. If you think hiding terms of service of the promotion is scam, you can create a new thread in scam accusations section and obviously you're attacking many casinos in this forum lol.

I think it's our job to check out the terms and conditions.
All they did was redirect you to their website and some of it is injected with referral links so that when you bet, they will have a percentage of it.

Most gambling sites today don't really need you to sign up first. You can check out their website and freely roam around although there are some restricted parts because you are still a guest. Regarding bonuses, they have Telegram or Discord pages now so you can just ask them directly if they are offering whatever bonus you prefer. i.e. Deposit bonus.

Isn't it how promotional/marketing banner works? Most banner will redirect you to the sign up or to the homepage first, you as player are the one that should be diligent enough to look deeper for the promotion. It is simple actually, skip the sign up page then go find the T&C page for the promotion you are attracted with. Do not blame how the banner works as if you are having a casino and you want to advertise your promotion with banner, you will do the same as it is how to attract users to sign up.

You want to get bonus or any other promotional offer but you do not want to register on the casino? How can that be possible? Gambling sites are using promotional offers to advertise their sites and the kind of service they are providing. If after you have known about the promo and you just want to get offer without registering on the site, that is not possible, you have to register before you will be able to get any promotional offer, also knowing they you have to read the casino's terms and conditions.

I think is correct.

If you're not in the login phase, then how the banner redirect is always on the registration phase. You should compare the redirection promotion (with or without login) during the click, most the time they will redirect you to register/login dashboard if you're not in the login phase.

That's how the banner work.

It's worse. Often they give you a bonus and wait if you win anything, then don't allow you to withdraw until you go through KYC, even though you haven't deposited any significant sum, and aren't trying to withdraw a lot. You can deposit, claim a bonus, lose the bonus and try to get your money back and you're hit by KYC just to get $200 back. This is bullshit as you're clearly not a money launderer and most countries allow for $1k payments without any KYC simply because these are such small amounts that nobody would try to launder this way.

if you are a gambler you should really make it a habit of reading a casino's terms and conditions(this includes specific terms and conditions on their specific bonuses), reading it can save you a lot of trouble if you plan on gambling on that online casino. you should never rely on a casino to give all the details to you on the get-go.

This is a valid concern IMO.

When a marketing gets into promos and bonuses, there should be the actual information upon clicking those banners like a guest section where it's all written.

No need for any logging in as that's highly discouraging visitors when they're not yet registered on that casino. But for those that are registered, it's not really a big thing.

The Terms and Condition is the catch for the bonus. There’s no such thing as free money or easy to get bonus on casino industry because they are business not a foundation. It’s normal for a banner ads to display only limited information that focus on entertaining players to try the casino because that’s how ads work. This is same with cigarette and beer ads which doesn’t highlight the effect of the items they are promoting. Let the user deal with the terms when they are already playing.

Besides not all casino offer a ridiculous terms and conditions for their bonus. Winz.io is one of them because their bonus free spin doesn’t have any wagering requirements and other casino offer a low wagering requirements which achievable compared to the typical 30ish and above wagering requirements.

Usually the terms and conditions relate to deposit bonus that you have certain requirements on wagering but in Stake for example where I usually play,the weekly bonus,rakeback and monthly bonus that I receive since I have become a VIP there have no string attached,you can withdraw them directly,they are yours and are a valuation of your betting efforts from the company,in this case the casino.

They are right though to put wagering requirements into place for deposit bonuses as people can use such bonuses for money laundering and casinos are a good fit to do this,so these requirements are an absolute must and I fully agree with them.

I don't agree that for example other bonuses which has nothing to do with deposit bonus,to have wagering requirements.

If the user is registered at the casino, he should know the rules or visit the promo's terms and conditions to find out and obey it. But unfortunately, that does not apply to most gamblers because they immediately deposit the money needed as a minimum requirement and start playing.

The problem is that after they succeed in winning a sum of money, they will be faced with a problem that will usually trigger a request to do KYC and many gamblers are objected to that. Maybe this is a misunderstanding between casinos and gamblers that often occur and make many gamblers feel disappointed by casinos.

First of all the user has to logged into the gambling site for the banners to redirect to the promo page and if you see the registration page it means either you are yet to register or logged out from the browser.

Ultimate goal of promotion is to make the people to use their site so I don't think asking for registration to use their service isn't different or did I get it wrong?

It's a valid point from a player's perspective but it just defeats the purpose of casino's promotion if a potential users is discouraged by the terms and conditions that pops up after clicking the banner. Maybe they could add a disclaimer on their marketing material like putting the text "terms and conditions apply" so it's up to the user to check it. I think that's a good compromise to your remark.

That's my automatic response all these promotions anyway, I'm asking to make terms visibility straightforward. I dislike going to their support or registration to know bonus terms.

This is part of the marketing so the casino converts the visit into registration, which in the future can give a potential player who will be a regular customer. The task of any advertisement is to attract a person, and if he wants to he will look for all the detailed rules of the promotion after registration.

That is a part of their marketing strategy. Registering on the first place won't cost you an amount in an instant. It is to somehow 'chain' the new player into the platform without seeming to be doing som Once a player have created an amount and happened to like the promotions being offered, then that would be a win for the advertisement. Rather than to just display their promotions to udiences, they'd prefer engagement first. Just think of this; there are many gambling sites offering bonuses. If the amount your platform could offer at its maximum is still less than what others could offer, that would be an instant rejection from the target player. Unlikely of them to do so, once they created an account and happened to like other features to cope up with the disdvantage from promotions.

I'm pretty sure there are other players like you. It's just that most of these casinos are paying for their advertising. They prefer a good return for their money which is a higher registration turn out. I guess you can still suggest to your favorite casino to make some tweaks. If they don't want to change their strategy then perhaps just avoid them or any of their promo and play in peace.

usually beginners are often stuck with promotions like this, that's how the promotion is done, but sometimes their affiliates promote referral links so they are directed to login or registration, sometimes new people ignore reading the terms and conditions of the casino so they rush to create an account and play. beginners shouldn't ignore it  :)

Then they will complaint in the live support and come to this forum to create a scam accusations thread because they're feel get cheated from the casino. Usually the terms and conditions aren't appeared in full, but the new terms will come up after you've successfully fulfill the first requirement. This is why welcome bonus is mostly not a good promotion, it's better to go with everyday wager contest or other event promotion.

I think it is just a purely add, they are just want to increase traffic in their website or sometimes it is called conversion I mean if I am not mistaken it is a marketing strategy wherein clicks , registration , newsletter will convert into sales soon. If you click the banner unintentionally because it is just pop out in your screen maybe try to install or add extension to block pop out ads.

I think that's the marketing part. If you are in their website, they have succeeded to lure you in and they have that plan of action to keep you there. I think members like you are the ones who are smart because you read the terms and conditions first before anything else.

Better understand first what you are going to do before anything else. In my experience, I didn't know at one time in a bonus deposit made by me that you had to really play it and it just ate my first deposit. Lol

This is a common marketing strategy of some small-time casinos to attract more players to their sites but it is not proper because they are deceiving lots of people. It is also risky to click suspicious banners because they might contain unnecessary files or might redirect us to scam sites. We shouldn't fall for promotions easily and must double-check if they are legit and trusted before showing interest in it. It is better to be careful and skeptical right from the beginning.

Just like other promotion outside the casino industries,  Sometimes they just try to hide the conditions of the promos by making it small and barely noticeable in the banner. They also purposely don't show or they try to hide the terms and condition of the said promo to the potential customers so that they won't change their mind after seeing the requirements and the conditions of the promo you have availed. I believe it's a common way that a marketing team are always doing especially if the promo is so alluring that the customer has the tendency to back-out after they see the mechanics of it. It's a gullible way that marketing teams do.

This is one of those instances where banners and promotional ads attract users in order to gain traffic from this gambling website. Without any of these promotional ads, these gambling companies would struggle to gain traction from its users. Also, as a pre-requisite to this given bonuses, these people must abide, follow, and register on their gambling website. This also follows that they have to agree with their conditions (e.g. KYC, information, etc.).

I do not think that these banners are "useless" perse like what you mentioned OP. Again, the purpose focuses on gaining attraction and users are not compelled to follow these certain TNCs in the first place.

Actually the promo banner at the casino when clicked for registration is one of the casino's strategies to attract the attention of customers when they first enter the casino.
I agree with what you said, when a new customer clicks on the promo banner, they should be directed to the T&C section so that they read all the terms and conditions at the casino so they don't violate the casino rules.

I meant promos that banners promote are useless.

A banner may say, deposit and get $100 bonus but after checking terms you realize it's not as straightforward as it appears.

This has been exercising for years and not just on casinos. The thing with this case on casinos are likely for the whales if they post an enticing banner and not for the shrimps. It's all a clickbait but if you know how this works then just don't proceed, you know it will just be lost in the first place considering most of it are impossible to withdraw, the wagering term is outrageous.

You can't get banned because you're on the hunt for bonuses, what gets you banned is the way you behave that seems suspicious to them which is against their rules, if you're banned then you have no right for participating in any bonus or giveaway promos including the ones you've received before getting banned, so the best advice here for you to enjoy anything called bonus is to maintain your normal standard as a regular gambler with all loyalty to their system by staying away from anything that can makes you go against their casino rules.

Consider it advertising. It's usually just a lie, there are times it can be true and sometimes not.
But whoever did it either a casino or any company had achieved his goal, to make you curious and click the banner. Whether you signup or not, he may made you look and read.

if what they are saying is true though then it's too good. Even if you really got the $100 after the deposit, the terms and conditions will always be disappointing. The gamblers who had been in gambling for years may have given up to those promos.

for me this is how promotional banners work to always lead to the signup section. we as gamblers or people who have been in gambling for a long time should know how these promotional banners work and for a gambler we usually already know the method before registering on certain sites like for example, I first entered one of the promotional banners and I tried to press the banner button and directed at registration. at that time, as a gambler, I usually always go to the T&C section before registering.

so actually that's how promotional banners work and it's like part of the strategy that every casino does to attract the attention of new potential customers.

I've noticed the same thing, and it's both puzzling and frustrated. When you click on a visually enticing banner, only to find hidden terms and conditions, you feel cheated. Companies appear to be hiding information from customers on purpose in order to avoid liability for any problems that may arise. Consumers have a right to know exactly what they are agreeing to, and this behavior is totally unacceptable. Do we have any leverage to force these companies to be more transparent with their advertising? I'm curious if you've had any luck shedding light on these strategies.

If you click the banners, it proves that the banners are not useless because it what banners are created for.
To make people attracted to click it and to find about it more in the website.
Anyway banners are useless or not is not from our perspective, it should be from the casino's perspective because it is part of their marketing strategy.
It will be useless if no one click the banners but it will be something useful if many people click the banners.

This is not a casino thing, actually.
This kind of advertisement has existed during many years, businesses highlight the part of the promotion which is more effective to attract new clients and when the client or new user signs up, then they stumble onto the full terms and conditions of the offer.

It reminds the offers and promotions given by Binance, there was one which on the ad it promised to gift 5 BUSD, but after logging, one would realize that some trading volume was require to claim the bonus.

Same with the defunct FTX (or Kucoin, I don't remember exactly), they had a bright ad claiming to give away up to 1000$ to new users, those who took the offer found out they actual money was being given as credit on the futures wallets and required some deposit first.

All this is a business, and no successful business in history has given anything for free in that scale, let us remember.  ;)

These companies are offering free money in many cases, however the catch is you better read the instructions well to understand any pitfalls or where you can get caught out. Like you might be able to unlock a $100 free bet, but it will require your *first bet only* to be $100 - after that point you have lost the ability to access that particular welcome bonus. You have to break these casino / bookmaker offers into two categories - major companies that can afford to offer big bonuses with low barriers to entry and smaller companies which use very manipulative wording in their promotion or have such high requirements to unlock the money that it's not even worth pursuing - it requires a bit of detective work and experience to determine which it is.

In my opinion, free cheese comes only in a mousetrap. Even if a casino offers a welcome bonus with certain conditions to attract new customers, it only shows that they are following a strategy that involves reinvesting part of their profits in further development. And if you seriously consider all these bonuses, it becomes clear that all this is nothing more than a marketing campaign.

I try to understand your intent and purpose. It seems you misunderstood, because to go to the bonus page that you clicked on from the casino promo banner, you will be directed to the login/registration link. which means, if you are not a member of the casino that displays the promo. you must meet the main requirements first, namely, by registering. after that, you will be directed to the promo that has been offered which comes from the promo banner of a particular casino. or, just maybe, as the other members assumed. maybe, this is just a bait from the casino to increase the attractiveness of new users. at least, if it appeals to you. there is nothing wrong, if you try to register. or vice versa, just ignore it.

Many if us that are gamblers most time we don't bother ourselves on reading through the terms and conditions of the casino we are using that is why many gamblers always come back to complain about casinos of nit treating them the way they deserve. I always try my best to check for the terms and conditions of a gambling platform so I can be aware of what will be my role or what I would be expecting if anything happens to my account or my bets. There are some casinos that don't pay gamblers below 18 years. All these need to be known by gamblers.

I stumbled over many banners like that instead of the information on the promotion you are compelled to sign up so you can see the promotion info, this is a method employed by casinos and it proved to be successful in generating more signs up because you will be curious on the promotion so you have no choice to sign up, it's your choice anyway
if the casino is good and the promotion is really good then sign up and avail of that promo.

It doesn't make sense for the redirect to the particular promo's T&C. It is still on us as gamblers or consumers to read the T&C first before we sign up to this so called casino for their bonuses or promos.

I won't say it's a trick on their side, but that is one part of their business though. You can point your hands on them because of this trickery, but I think it's legally bound for them to do that. Worse in offline, or whatever kind of business because the T&C are written in very small font that it's hard to read for the majority of us. So if you are really a responsible gambler, then read it very carefully in the beginning so that you won't get into the problems later.

This has been the strategy of many casinos, though I see some banners specifically state there about the terms and conditions apply, maybe you can just direct on that or the site should really include that on their marketing post. Its good to know this first before you participate, you can know if you can accomplish the task just to qualify for the bonus, you might realized later on that its not worth it, especially if you see the requirements.

It's part of a promotion trick I have seen one casino that offers huge amounts of bonuses but you have to sign up to read how to claim it, not only casinos are doing it, it's very prevalent on investment sites like MLM and even exchanges are doing this for the reader to sign up out of curiosity.
I think its called call to action method you need to sign up to read the info or get the bonus, all membership sites employ the best and proven method to increase memberships then they will send you tons of promos in their newsletter, a neat trick but it always works.

I am not one of those who are casino bonuses fans since I already know the conditions behind these bonuses and how hard it is to meet those requirements,  casino operators are businessmen. and all their after is the revenue there will generate from the activities of the player on their sites.

-And bonuses are one of the ways the casinos get and keep players under the condition to wager some certain amount to fulfil their obligations.

Most of the banners are linked with affiliate code, so obviously it will bring you to a login/registration page.   It is to ensure that people who got interested by the promo banner and wanted to try the promo will be register under the person who put the banner.  It would be a waste of the person's effort if the person who got interested will not be registered under his code.  Besides, you can always check the terms and condition of the promo anytime. 

You are correct. I see the lack of care of most sites to the importance of the visibility of terms and conditions a little concerning, especially because it's pretty much like forcing someone to sign on a deed or a contract without letting them read what they are getting into. Although honestly I don't see how this ties in with the bonuses as your title is supposing, but oh well. If you are pertaining to rules and regulations for some bonuses and promos then I understand.

Common thing which we know that this is how this banner or affiliate or referral links do works neither on direct link form or would be in banner which its been attached.Of course on the time that certain person do click those then it is automatically be directed into the site which is on under users name who had posted it up.About terms and conditions then it is really just on default where
requirements and threshold isnt something that a certain person could able to get out.This is why gambling is never been that profitable or something that
you could really be having those assurance.

For you to enjoy any promotions or bonuses,you must be a member of that casino. That is why when you click on the banners, it directs you to the sign up page.

I will advice that instead of rushing to click on bonuses on casino banner,we should always read the T&C carefully so that we don't be deform about the casino policies. Those promotions are there to attract new customers. Therefore, if you don't want to sign up, it means that you are not yet their targeted customer.

Well, that's just how marketing goes. It's kind of like in the border line of things since they're aren't technically hiding any rules about the promo. Though I do think the rules involved aren't anything complicated, itd probably just include the usual tncs of the casino themselves so if you usually play there, I highly doubt you'd have problems.

Then again that might be completely different when it comes to a big event, but that doesn't usually happen in bonuses by casinos.

If a certain gambling site would really be having those kind of behavior which is somewhat shady then sooner or later it would be busted up if they are really not that clear with their terms specially on the time where

there are users who would really be making out some complaints basing up with their user experience towards the site.Just like the rest been saying that bonuses and other promotions do always falls down on the same

path if we do speak about terms and conditions which is mostly or normally be pertaining in towards gamblers disadvantage which its not something new knowing that businesses like these would really be
prioritizing on how they would really be that be profitable.

I think OP is correct. It would be much more benefical for casinos if viewers were instantly redirected to the promotion's page, because when the banner sends the public to the registration page, many people lose interest because they are lazy to fulfill the whole signing up process first, so they immediately lose interest and don't go ahead. Promotions would have a more notorious impact if it was simple as click, deposit, play and try achieving the requirements demanded.

Promo banners are displayed for the sake of gambling sites gaining traffic and most importantly users. They are basically ads to attract potential players. But to be fair, once you will create an account, before your account is finally created, you will be asked to agree to the casino's terms and conditions. It is now your responsibility to read it carefully and agree or disagree with it. You have the choice not to proceed with the sign up process.

With regards to bonuses, players should not easily fall for them. These bonuses often come with so many conditions they are almost not given at all. We should all know they are baits.

Right now we can't see any platforms availing to claim the bonus without an account registered. Having an account is mandatory, and being lazy doesn't want the bonus. What is necessary to make an account, just an email verification. Surely people won't go with click deposit, play and achieve requirements to claim bonus. Not at all, because we're into a platform that is new and we haven't used it earlier.

I also didn't understand what the OP's purpose would be, but while I agree that it's not possible to list the entire T&C, many sites fail to include a lot of important information in their promotion ads.

In some cases, information about minimum bets, minimum contribution amount or number of plays to be able to redeem certain prizes is included in very fine print.

However, in other cases, this information does not appear anywhere and the user only finds out about these "rules" after he has already started playing or made a certain contribution of money that does not correspond to the rules.

This is quite frustrating!

Most promo banners will work like that to attract new users and we who visit the casino should check everything before we decide to register. But we immediately register and don't find out first what the terms and conditions apply to the casino. So it's natural that casinos point the link directly to the login/signup page to get new members fast. We have to check it ourselves so that we won't have any problems after we feel comfortable playing gambling at the casino. We shouldn't just register right away but read the rules in the casino because every casino has different rules.

That's right. I only ask to make bonus term visibility obvious and clicking on promo banner sounded most straightforward to me.


Where? Dig on casino website? Ask their support? Go to their discord/telegram?

After all you can't blame them, but you can contact their live support or representative in this forum to know about the rules. If you think those casinos who run such kind promotion for not being transparent, you can create scam accusations thread to discuss about the communities.

Personally I'm fine with that since I'm already experienced with those promotion, so no surprise anymore.

Those of us who have previous experience know the casino's terms and conditions, so we can find out which promos we can take part in and avoid, especially if some terms and conditions don't match what we want. We must examine it for our own good and avoid things we don't want.

But most people will not check it but directly deposit some money and when they manage to win more money, they are faced with the terms and conditions, making them disappointed. This happens to most of us and makes us regret that we took the promo. Next time we have to make sure that the promo is what we want or we can wait for the other promo we want.

Promo banners of online casinos are designed, in my opinion, mainly to attract new users, if you are already a user and receive a newsletter for a promo by mail, they usually lead to the page of the promotion itself, but everything depends on the desire of the gambling platform and targeting a specific audience.

Under these banners, usually we can find "see terms and conditions for full details" link, which clearly suggests that any interested person must click on it first to know if what to expect with those bonuses. If you will rush and play, you will mostly get disappointed about the results.

If the link redirects you to the sign-up page, there must be a terms and condition button there. They are usually located and the very bottom or before we push that sign-up button but of course many of us won't take the time to read them because they are boring and we are lazy to read a plain wall of text but we can use the "find in page function" of our browser only to go the section that interests us the most. It can be bonus, KYC and others.

I don't know which specific platform or promotion you're talking about, but that's pretty much how advertising works. Its only purpose is to attract new players to the platform with banners and ads. Of course, they won't give you all the details of the promotion, especially if they're unfavorable for players.

That's not to say that promotions and bonuses aren't worth taking advantage of - they can definitely be a great way to stretch your bankroll and increase your chances of winning. But it's also important to read the fine print and make sure you understand the terms and conditions before you start playing.

Casinos can be vague at times, and I do agree that some of their adverts should really be redirected to the terms and conditions. For unregistered users of the platform, of course it's obvious that the casino would want you to register first or loging to view the bonus so that your curiosity can easily be converted to a deposit to chase the bonus. Pretty annoying for us players, but it works for the casinos obviously, so why change it?

That’s how it works, its a click bait and very effective to the casinos. I guess if you’re a wise gambler you will look first for the details or mechanics of that promotions before you participate since not all are qualified for that and if you easily fall for that, you might not be able to qualify due to the fact that you missed some of the requirements and you have to do it all over again if you really wanted to receive some bonus.

That's their strategy for the users to register on their site, so they can take a look of those bonuses.
If you are not up to it, you can ask from other users, if they have thread on this forum.
But if not, don't register if you think not worth registering in the casino. Some are just clickbait as they have other requirements to fulfill.
Remember, these casinos won't give those bonuses for free. Most of the time, they have wagering requirements that's hard to achieve.

If you did not read through the terms and conditions of the casino before/after registering on whichever casino that you registered on then I doubt you would have read them even if they showed it to you whenever you followed through with the promo.

It seems to me that this problem could have easily been avoided if you just read the terms and conditions beforehand. And if you did indeed find something wrong/missing then you would be right, from a legal standpoint.

But casinos do not want to have legal problems therefore they create a terms and conditions which covers everything about their website. This also covers promos, obviously.

Those promos ain't useless dude,... remember that's exactly the same reasons why they're being paid for; you won't expect them to organize a sort of - giveaways without earning from it.
Anything that'll be of good benefits to the masses , that's done to promote a casino must certainly have terms and conditions... which means they're not actually free, there are taskes to perform to get them.

But notice and adverts for members are directed on the requirements and terms of the said promotion.  And it is normal for a banner that is directed at non-members to land on the registration page.  Besides I believe upon registration the link to Terms and Conditions is there along the checkbox and before the confirmation since most asked the new player if they agree to the terms of the casino.

But well I do sympathize with @OP since often times I am also too lazy to explore the casino just to check the terms and requirements of certain promotions.  It do give convenience of the subject of interest is just a click away.

Doesnt really need to everything to be spoonfeed because those links or places are just within reach on which it would really be that in default that they would really be having that corresponding terms and conditions which is really that understandable if we are really that in dealing with casinos and registering neither on a banner or a direct link.

I dont really know on why people still make out discussions on how things should goes? It doesnt really matter because you would be still ending up on landing on website page registration link
whenever you are tending to deal up with that current bonuses or promotions.

Yeah, it works for them and that's why they won't change a thing with it. Until it's valid that they're seeing it no longer effective then that's the time that they have to restrategize their tactics. But as long as it's working, there's no need for them to change that as it's not being called by their demand. As much as we want to make things easy, it's for them to tell and do things whether it's really needed or not.
While the impact of it for an individual is quite big but for them, if someone goes to the landing page, that's all they need to do because once a gambler is enticed with the promos, they wouldn't mind about stuff of registering because they already caught their attention about the promos that they can see.

but do take note that if the requirements are quite not reasonable, people will talk. and they can give bad feedbacks if they got screwed because of misleading adverts.
for sure, those too-good-to-be-true bonuses have corresponding requirements, in which, most gamblers will fail to complete. the casino would know if their tactics are not working if less people to none are availing their bonuses.

the promo banner is meant to invest more gamblers to a platform that is why many casinos have there own promo banner and it is different from other. The banner mostly lead to where new users that are interested and reader to register on the platform to put there information so that everything will be processed. The promo banner we are agitating about is just like the normal signature banner we have here that contains the name of the platform and some few descriptions about there offers. If you click on a promo banner and it takes you to there terms and conditions then something is wrong somewhere.

If you get redirected to their login page that means you're required to log in first before seeing the all of the details about the promo. There are some casinos that do this on purpose and sometimes would only offer promos for specific countries. When it comes to the terms and conditions they are usually mentioned all in one place or below the promo page.

Maybe the casino thinks every gambler who visits the promo page already understands the terms and conditions. They immediately direct them to the login page to enter their account and deposit money to play gambling. But new gamblers have to check the terms and conditions before registering and depositing their money. That would be better because they can find out how much minimum money they have to deposit, how much betting they have to do, and so on.

That's so we don't feel cheated by the casino's bonus promo and deposit some money to get the promo from the casino we want. Hopefully, people can get the attractive promos they are looking for.

Many people might not know your frustration with this, it's a kind of way of playing with someone's emotions. It has happened to me before when I was desperately in need of some bonuses or at some times when they have engaged my mind with a mind-blowing bonus but it would be a different thing entirely after redirecting.

Well, you have to know their gimmicks now, just don't get excited about anything you see online anymore until you validate it is worth it.

They are usually many pages with lot of T&C on which we don't focus and just sign up for our account overlooking what's written in it which is problem for them later on because you can't blame casino as you have agreed upon the terms so you were not aware about it will not give you any excuse so read them giving some time before signing up.

Don't be in such a rush; we wouldn't want you to trip over your own feet, would we? Trust me when I say that the tiny print, those often-ignored terms and conditions that may make or break your wealth, is where you'll find the secret to success as a sports bettor. Go at those long, complicated paperwork carefully before you rush into battle. But have no fear; there is an easy way to navigate your way through this labyrinth; simply use the "find in page" feature to skip to the meat of the matter. Do you need extra information? KYC? Or is there any additional information you need to know? The information you want is just a click away! Relax with a beverage of your choice and take your time reading the terms and conditions. You can take my word for it; it will completely alter the playing pitch.

Most of those banners I've seen were for those who are new users, meaning they will need to sign up to get those promotions because for existing users, they mostly have a page alone with the promotions or can easily get redirected to it like raffles or new games. The problem with these promotions is that you need to achieve specific goals, like betting a certain amount to get qualified, which means sometimes you need to spend more money.

    -    You are right in what you said, and I can only add, the decision whether or not to join a casino is always up to us, we are under no obligation to immediately create an account on their platform.

That's why others always say here in the forum that we should learn to research a crypto gambling before we start playing gambling here so that we won't blame anyone else for what we decide.

Researching each new casino can give us to know more about the casino before we decide. But most gamblers don't do it but will register immediately because they don't want to miss the promos given by the casino. In addition, they feel that reading the terms and conditions can be done later once they have an account at the casino.

We are always obliged to read the casino's terms and conditions to avoid violating them. And if we are not comfortable with the terms and conditions, we can look for another casino because we have a large list of new casinos waiting to be researched.

Well, crypto adverts like banners are aimed at new players, while promo notification is for existing players.  There is nothing we can do about this kind of method @OP because as an advertiser, it is logical to redirect a potential player to the registration page than to the terms and agreements.  About the promotion, obviously, to avail of any promo from a gambling platform, they must be a member of that platform since they have to used the promos and bonuses on that same platform.

Someone can just immediately create an account right after seeing those enticing offers but if it's me I will have a doubt on it. Like they say that when something is too good to be true, chances are that it was not really true or there are hidden terms/conditions about it. This makes me not to sign up on them because I will just waste my time there or possibly money.

There are lots of good gambling sites lying around the first page of the gambling board but if you can't find any that catches your attention, that would be the time to do your own research. It can be outside this forum but it was your own responsibility now whatever happened to you or to your funds.

The truth is that most of the casino and promos target the new users as they want more people come to their site and deposit / wager. Due to this reason when you click on these banner, they will take you direct to the registration page. Also most of the casino give you deposit bonus and most of the time this bonus is on the first deposit, again favoring the new user.

Don't you why they don't give these offers to new users because it is equally important to retain the old users as compare to gaining new customers  ???

Interests are like that for which we think that we're the target customers but not really. I think that for pages that are about the promos, they've got the t&c's that are posted below the promo and that's why I don't see it as a problem.
But if it's an interest that they should really fix, for their new and old customers, it's not that much work for them to have it work properly because it's like an easy thing to be made.

Do your part, mate. It's not that things will always be spoonfed to make people satisfied.

It's been ages already that any promotions or bonuses do always associated with a Terms and Conditions. That's usual to expect.

Can you share some examples of promo banners that literally just redirect to the sign-up page? I said, promo banner exactly and not a marketing banner.

the reason why some new players of the casino are getting rekt as they are getting tempted with the mouth-watering bonuses or rewards. some of them for sure forgot to check the terms attached to it. and they will complain afterwards, not knowing they haven't completed the required wagering requirements.
i have seen several times in this forum, a player accusing the site of being a scam as he can't withdraw his winnings. but afterwards, it is the player himself that had shortcomings. either he didn't comply with the conditions or violated some entries on the site's ToS.

In most cases I encountered though, there should be a link leading to the "Terms and Conditions" , "Bonuses Conditions" or something like that on the registration page. I have rarely seen a promotional banner that will redirect you to the Terms and Condition page exactly as the purpose is to lead users to the registration page.

It should also be a good habit to always read the terms regarding any kind of bonus. There's no promotional bonus that doesn't have terms.

I dont see it for it to be that applied considering that it is really that understandable that these bonuses does have particular terms and conditions.If the site or platform would be giving out some links or alerts about
those bonuses terms and conditions then it would be great but just like you do said that they would be just directly be showing off directly on registration page on which it is really that common.
As a player or a gambler then we arent that dumb not to know or believing that they wont really be falling out on some terms which it is really a bad mindset because you would definitely be
making yourself that expect on something it wasnt right at the first place.

In a way I understand what the OP is trying to say, as it can be discouraging to find a promo and then you have to look for the terms for a few minutes only to find out you do not qualify or the promo has already expired, but that is just the way casinos promote themselves, if they land you on the registration page after you click the link then it is clear that what they are trying to do is to attract new customers to their casino with those offers and as such they will never modify their landing page, as this will decrease the amount of new gamblers which decide to give a try to their casino

An advertisement, of any form, is basically to attract potential customers to the platform, and they are never meant to disclose or read out the terms and conditions of the platform, all they need to include in a promotion is a simple text which says, "Terms and conditions apply." and that's all. Those who read that and still don't go ahead and read the complete terms and conditions, it's not the casino's fault at all.

A user who only rushes to register, deposits, and starts betting on a casino by just reading about a bonus or something deserves to face the consequences if there are any, as it is their own responsibility to understand everything beforehand and then go ahead with the process.

If this is the case then be aware that experienced gamblers know that no bonus comes without any terms and conditions. Also, most of the promotions may seem to favor the gamblers but when we read the terms and conditions associated with this, most of the time the gambler's casino gets the benefit.

The new gamblers may act quickly to get the bonus but experienced gamblers always first read the terms before availing the discount.

reason casinos provide bonuses with certain conditions is because until now there are still many gamblers who take advantage of these bonuses in bad ways, for example, using multiple accounts to get bonuses. even though the casino gives these bonuses to active customers and the casino wants gamblers who get bonuses to also make a good contribution to the casino.


so it doesn't matter if the casino provides bonuses with conditions and not only old users always see the bonus conditions but new users usually also check the terms before taking the bonus.

I don't find anything wrong with casino advertising using small banners, of course there is no space for the terms and conditions. They will be shown on the casino website itself and we should always check them before signing up at a casino. Using terms and conditions is normal for any company, even the smallest business running some advertising are going to have it. Why should a casino be different from other businesses? They are necessary to protect a company from people using promotions and advertising in exploitative ways. The main thing with casino promotions is that they don't want the gambler to instantly withdraw any free money.

There are no tricks behind the way that these banners are designed.... You click on the banner and you are re-directed to the site, where you have to signup to get access to the promotions. As part of the signup process, a option are usually required that you accept the terms and conditions of the site, so you cannot miss that.

Yes, many people just click "Yes, I accept" without reading the terms and conditions... but it's on them. So, make sure you read the terms and conditions, before you participate in the promotions.  ;)

I think you can find many banners in internet including in this forum. You can try by visiting review sites where you can see many banners for many different casinos. Most banners shows an interesting offers such as Big Deposit Bonus, Free Spins, etc but most of them will redirect you to the sign up page first. I do not see it is something wrong as it is how they do it effectively to invite new players. As you said related to the term of the bonus as well as the general terms of condition about the casinos, we as players should do our own part.

Well that always the first step. Registration. But what I witness these days regarding casino or sports book registration is they are not that strict anymore. They usually just need your e-mail and you can start browsing their pages. It's not really much of a hassle if you want to look inside their website for the promos. It's a normal thing to keep their business secured. Besides, you can also use a dummy account if you are keeping your privacy or just want your computer/account clean.
Banners are scattered around mostly just for advertisements. They could change every week and the one posting it could be using the old ones.

It is the responsibility of each person to always research the casino before they register themselves. If they have read it carefully, they can continue to play or deposit money immediately if they already have an account. But if they have doubts or are not sure about the casino, they don't need to register and look for other casinos. There is no compulsion to use the promo because we are the ones who must know the terms and conditions before deciding to take the promo.

Casinos have given attractive promos to everyone who sees the promos and it's up to each person. And casinos also never force users to visit their casinos because they know each user has the right to decide for himself.

Yeah, no matter what platform we choose, whether we play at a very popular casino or a new one, whether we choose an online platform or a land based, we must remember one thing, there is nothing like free money in gambling.

Bonuses are only given so that you make deposits and play on the casino, and casinos know that those that start playing won't easily stop and the house-edge will make the house win at the end. So any kind of a promo or a bonus a casino offers, they will surely have some requirements for it, and mostly it's a wagering or deposit limit. If you can't fulfill that, there is no bonus for you, simple as that.

These days, most customers are really vocal and for sure that they've been dealing with lots of them on a daily basis. So if it's been brought to them not just once or twice, they'll not be ignored until the changes have been visible from the customers that have shared their concerns with them. As long as the requirements are reasonable and they can be said to be competitive, there will be gamblers that would always chase them regardless of the prize is as long as it's achievable and very easy to comply with. They do conduct surveys from their customers and if it's not that effective anymore, the changes will be discerning for those customers that have come to take the notice of it.

Yes, that's the obvious though, even in land base casino's you will see a lot of promotions and it's really very attractive because the prizes are so big. But then when you go in and read the T&C there are a lot that you need to fulfill in order to quality so it means you have to spend a lot of money as well just to be able to be on that promotions.


So it's just better to play and not thinking of that bonuses or promotions in the beginning because if you do, you can't really stop and the more you want to hit that so called bonuses the likely that you will lose more money in the end because of those house edges. Play and have fun, if you hit the requirements then good.

And in the end, it's important to read that T&C too, so that there will be no surprises on your end.

For gamblers who have more money and their goal is to gamble to get big profits, they will definitely not think about bonuses at the beginning because of course they prefer to chase wins that can provide big profits.
But on the other hand there are lots of small gamblers who really are bonus hunters so they can get even a little profit.
Every gambler must have different characteristics so we cannot determine and suggest them to follow what we think.
Maybe those who have more money can easily do everything but those who are only small gamblers will not be able to do this.
Either just chasing bonuses or chasing wins and even gambling just for fun is their choice because the benchmark in gambling is how much money they use.

Indeed! I understand how exhausting it may be to keep trying for better odds or more rewards. It's like trying to catch a mythical creature that farts rainbows. But be honest; what sort of gambler are you? To what extent do you seek out rewards and do you prefer to win? Or someone who can't resist the thrill of gambling no matter how much it costs them? Keep your cool and handle your money responsibly no matter whichever camp you find yourself in. The house always wins, so it's smart to have a Plan B in place, like creating your own cryptocurrency or penning a novel, just in case. No seriousness intended. Nonetheless, taking things at face value, compulsive gambling is a major problem that affects many people. Thus, don't wait to get treatment if you see your gambling habits are becoming out of hand. Because, after all, life is a game of skill, not luck.

most of them are also novice gamblers trying to cheat the bonuses provided and they are caught then all the money and accounts are frozen, it all starts with promotions wrapped up by marketing so gamblers come who take advantage of opportunities and cheat to get a lot of money, but in the end they lose a lot of money in trap because everything is frozen, it's sad  :D

I deposited $33.3 into a gambling site that I just registered on recently to bet Dortmund versus RB Leipzig, it was a lucky match for me as it was more than 2.1 odds for Dortmund and it was a won bet. I was lurd by the casino because of their 100% deposit bonus, I won the match but the bonus was very discouraging, I was given $3.3 bonus 10 times to be used on different bets. Is that not discouraging? I was also only given just 7 days for the bonus expiration. Recently because of the rules of the bonuses, I lost all and I was unable to bet until I remember today when I read this topic that I had bonuses on a gambling site which expired on 11th of this month. Gambling sites wants people to just join, try all ways to make sure you do not use the bonus, even if you use it, to be in a way only little reward of the winning will be the result.

what's even sadder is that when beginners try to take advantage of bonuses using multiple accounts and in the end they are detected by the system and have their funds frozen, they are still doing this at other casinos. even though they know that it has violated the rules and if detected they will lose their funds again.

so sometimes it's very stupid for someone to take advantage of a bonus that ends up being frozen but still repeats mistakes at other casinos like committing suicide several times.

No, we don't need to feel sad or bad about them because what they are doing there is not good anyway and I am sure they already know it to themselves even if they are a newbie and yet they still have the courage to continue. They think they are smarter than these casinos lying around but they did not know that the casinos already expected these things to happen so they already prepared different security measures in order to detect such kind of activity.

I don't think this was a like a suicide because they have nothing to risk here. They are not doing a KYC and they are no way of depositing their money. They are wise too despite of being a newbie.
