Curiosity have just gotten on some of these promotion features on some casino and that's because I actually tried one and the end result which I got wasn't what they promised so I had to ask.

So here's what got me thinking, is it possible that some of these promotional offers by casino are just a mirage to get gamblers all hyped up and active in their casino because I saw one of the casino with a first time offer of about 300+ plus return on first time deposit plus a free spins of about 100 on slots game of any choice you opened up as first time play which to me looks tempting and watering to try out and actually made the deposit and all to see that's it a whole different setting that played out with discount as vouchers for playing on specific amount for the 300% first deposit and then the free spin was rather something else.

And of lately this particular promotion by the forum casino advertise here got me thinking too @playgram as they present 100% on first deposit of 30$ so wanted to know if it's limited to a particular slot or applies to all cause my usual slot game that favors me is fruit sweet bonanza 1000

Usually, to my knowledge and personal experience so far when trying new casino, all spin bonuses are only intended for certain types of slots from providers that have been determined by the gambling site itself and if you pay attention, free spins are just like spins on the lowest bet, even to get multiplier you will have difficulty.
This is just kind of offer for gamblers to have fun without having to spend lot of money, don't expect much from the bonus and just enjoy the game until all the spins you have run out, it will be much more fun than expecting more but ending in disappointment.

Or maybe it just have to be that we read between the lines in other to know the right requirements expected of us and as of the constitutes of their promotional offers before applying.


No, I may not agree on this because gambling is not a trick neither is the promotional offers, how many of us are gambling and always ensures that we read on the terms and conditions before applying or participating on these offers, those eligible get their rewards except for those who couldn't meet up.

I wouldn't call it a mirage like you have said.  Every bonus or promotion offered by the casino carries with them some terms and conditions. Therefore to be able to take full advantage of them, you will have to read and thoroughly understand them. This is where most of our problems lies, we see the bonus, we picture how much we would win with such bonus and we go ahead to immediately accept them without reading the terms. If we read the terms, most players would not even accept the bonus offers because just like what you have written to they will be able to tell if it is something they can keep up with or not. The type of bonus or promotional offer from a casino that I cannot accept are the cashback offers. I wrote my opinion sometime about it. I will attach the link if I can find it.

It's only a mirage for those who don't take the time to read the terms and conditions of these bonuses. These offers are always tempting on paper because they tend to mention the overall requirements of these bonuses at the bottom of the page as a way to lower their visibility.

I always avoid those deposit bonuses because they carry a significant wagering requirement that's around 30-50x and you always need a miracle on slots to even have a chance as the other games have a penalty and only count half of your bets towards your progress.

I also recall some casinos have started adding limits on how much you can win from these bonuses since it's likely for gamblers to end with a bigger balance if they get to clear their wagering requirements.

I mostly don't like first deposit bonuses. In fact, this does not provide any benefit. The reason is that when wagering the bonus, only a certain part of the amount is counted for each game. This is a very tricky system - the more you play with the same bets, the lower the chance of winning, that's how casino games work. If there was no such restriction, and there was the possibility of wagering the bonus for fewer games, then it would be profitable. Alas, the casino understands this too. Therefore, such bonuses are designed for people who do not think much about the conditions.
On the other hand, whether to use the bonus or not is a player's choice. You can play great without a bonus. I perceive the bonus more as an advertising campaign than as a kind of gift or discount.

They do this as a way of luring users to casino honestly and most times gamblers on the other hand will always fall for this  cause it seems like it's a free access for getting to play their favourite games in the casino. Welcome bonuses are mouth watering and eyecatching but then it ain't facilitating one's need this is why I see it as traps and a promotion packages.

Yes, the gambling sites are using it to attract people to register and gamble on their sites. This is one of the ways gambling sites can easily get more customers as friends will tell friends to make use of the bonus to bet also.

I have not gambled on the site before but other gambling sites that I have used before with this kind of deposit bonus will let it cover all games. I mean you will be able to use it for all any game of your choice. I do not think this would be different on the site also. Also it is just up to $30 and not more.

All casinos tend to definitely give bonuses to their newcomers, it is one of the strategies used to attract many people to gamble at their casino because it will bring profit with more people coming to their casino, even though everyone takes the bonus that the casino gives it will not make them suffer a big loss because I think they have considered it well and do not make them suffer a big loss.
Especially with slot type gambling games which of course have lots of promotions and bonuses that casinos give, it's just that usually there are some requirements that need to be met when we take the bonus that the casino provides, I once chose this but it made me less comfortable gambling maybe for people out there who are comfortable with the conditions put forward by the casino will still do it.

This is somehow confusing but you should have read the mechanics and description of that said bonuses.  There are some casinos that tends to exaggerate their bonus deposit programs stating that it is for any games of choice while it is limited to certain game options...


Often times the 100% deposit is on the deposit itself and is activated if claimed adding the exact amount of deposit and is free to use on any games where the casino allowed it to use with a certain x wagering requirement in order to be withdrawn.  I have not played on playgram so I am not sure if the bonus amount is free to use on that kind of slot game, I checked on the site but there is no where I see the term about the 100% deposit but the 100 free spin on deposit.  Better ask their Telegram admin about this bonuses.

Every promotion should be mutually beneficial, right? Regardless of how the casino attracts customers, it is clear that there are always special requirements that will not let you walk out with free money without giving the casino an advantage. As long as the bonus terms are fair enough you can try it, but sometimes such casinos are rare, the point is that you still have to pay a fee to open the bonus vault.  The output is that the casino hopes that after you leave, you can come back to play.

Those bonuses, banners and events are one of their marketing strategy to gain number of players to play in their casino because of course no one would like to have a casino that's an empty player, so they keep doing a lot of activity just to make sure that players will still play in their casino and what do you think as a player will make you satisfy?, by giving what you want and what you need to feel that the casino is right beside you upon playing gambling so there's an event like top leaderboard who can received a number of bonuses or rewards directly deposited to their account if they reach the number of wins, wager, and multiplier. To run a casino you must need to know how to handle the players need. Regarding with the game you want its their third party provider I cant give an actual explanation how does that 1000x shows but of course if you are lucky enough to have it upon rolling.

It is really just that make everything look good since your balance becomes big but if you will really be trying out to make withdrawals then this is the moment you will really be needing up to comply with those terms and conditions on which we know that wagering requirement is really that needing up to be done before you could be able to have some withdrawal on which this one really sucks.
If you are still a newbie into this gambling world then you will really be that fascinated with these bonuses but on the moment or time that you do able to have such experience then you will really be able to realize that these bonuses are that shit things and in next time you dont wanna get these bonuses since you've been wary about those terms on which it is that impossible to hit up those
thresholds.

You need to understand first what welcome bonus is so you will know that gambling sites don’t just hand out free money, there’s always a catch on what they offer. FYI, these bonuses come with terms you need to meet to cash out, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it sounds. The goal is to keep you gambling, increasing their odds of winning. In the end, even with the bonus, the house still has the edge, and most players end up losing.

It’s like chasing a mirage if you don’t get how it works. Think about it: almost every casino offers welcome bonuses and other promos, yet they’re still raking in profits. Why? Because the system is built in their favor, and that's the logic behind it.

New gamblers to a casino needs to understand that they're in business to make money, not giving out charitable games. So any bonuses that they offer you is to entice you to gamble on their site, that is just what it is. So it's very important to read and understand their TOS, especially as it concerns your area of interest that is the bonus, I'm sure that they must clarify how you can gamble with it. We shouldn't get carried away by casino bonuses, they actually want you to lose your money, that is why we can not underestimate the house edge factor, so don't take their bonuses too seriously

Welcome bonus is very related to wagering requirements so before decided to making deposit at the particular casinos you have to read their ToS and considering this factor because all of those bonus cannot be withdraw immediatelly so you have to playing your welcome bonus until met the wagering requirements which usually very high so basically the bonus is not free and only several people who very lucky can met those requirements and withdraw their money and i have says this before because welcome bonus is not more than the marketing strategies for online casinos to attract new players to deposit and playing at their casinos

It's obvious that there are a lot of competition right now in this niche, and so everyone wanted to have that edge, and so they offer this kind of promotions to anyone, just to entice them and play in their casinos. And there are a lot of good promotions if you are really a gambler or a whale as you can take advantage of it and who knows, maybe those bonuses and rakeback can at least bring some of your losses. But still though, we all know that this casinos have the house edge, so you should be in control and just be drooling with all those promotions and bonuses that have been offered to you.

That is the temptation the casino gives to people so people will attract and use the promotion because people think that they can win much money and withdraw the winning. But then the casino asks too many requirements that the gamblers must fill and makes gamblers difficult.

But for those who really wants to withdraw their money, they will follow the requirement and even verifying their account before they can withdraw their money.

If you accepts the requirement, you will not have a problem even if that means you need to verify your account. But if you can't accepts the requirement, you will complain and say the casino scammed you. Most of those people did not read the ToS so they think that the casino just scammed them and took their money.

Usually, the bonus that the casino site provides after making an account is mainly to attract gamblers, gamblers enjoy the fun of gambling and after getting pleasure from it, they are attracted to depositing. However, I think it is better to avoid all these free spins because such covers are only tempting, getting such offers makes gamblers pay more attention to gambling and later they become addicted to gambling. With these free spins, I think it is not possible to get any big wins and only a short time can be spent in the games.

Basically that's what a welcome bonus is, a promotional package. Which makes it difficult to make something lucrative from it irrespective of how many numbers of bonus spin you are offered. The best a gambler could do is to enjoy every step without bothering so much on making profit from it because the chances are tinier than a thread line and the outcome could get you frustrated if your mind was on hitting some cool bucks.

It is fine to accept the free spins and any bonuses from casinos, but don't get it twisted that they probably want you to win money with the bonuses and then you withdraw, they gave these free spins for new users to have some extra free time on the casino, many gamblers these days are so into gambling for money making only, I guess thats why people keep complaining about casino bonuses, nothing is truly free in this world yet people expect businesses to start giving away free money, how is this even normal?

Like I've said, I accept free spins only to have a longer time spent on the casino, having fun, if money is all that matters on your end then ignore free bonuses from online casinos.

It is.
Most of the welcome bonuses are just there to make you test out their games but it would end up losing all of them or most of them. But, your first deposit is different, it might end up good which I experienced on my first deposit in one popular gambling site.
I won. That's what happened. I withdrew a good amount and I could say it is a legitimate gambling site. Do not expect anything from a bonus money, even if you ask other gamblers, I think they will just say the same.

You're going to have terms attached to the bonuses the casino gives normally. Some of these terms include wagering anywhere from 5x-50x the deposit and bonus amount, Max wd limits, max bet per game, restricted games, and more. Accepting these bonuses on a small deposit is fine and gives you a chance to test the casino out. If you plan on making a large deposit, skip any deposit bonus and just play on your deposit so you don't have to worry about any playthrough or other limits.

That’s right, this can become a problem later on. I recently came across an accusation about a casino automatically opting gamblers into the welcome bonus on their first deposit without giving them a choice. So what happened? A player thought they hadn’t opted in, won some money, and tried to withdraw it. But the casino refused, saying it was subject to terms and conditions.

I’m sharing this just so we’re all aware of these so-called bonuses. They might seem like gifts, but in reality, they’re not the kind of gift that comes without strings attached. Always read the full details.  :)

For bonuses I don't usually get carried away by these offers because i know that there would be compromise at the later ends why because I saw it as something being attractive to applicants since there are lot of casino's out there, and it would be very bad not to offer bonuses that would attracts applicants to them. That is one thing newly built casino's are doing, they do does that to attracts lots of users to their site and it would gain more traffic because of the handsome offers they gave to sign up users.
For you not to get trapped it's better you avoid them because of most of them are only interested on the deposit and after which they would allowed you to keep playing or spinning till exhausts all your free spin where you would be tempted to make deposit to continue your spin.

Come on friends, we should understand that the promotion is given only as an attraction for us to gamble, besides that I am quite sure that every bonus given will not be able to make us win because indeed they are most likely to has arranged the bonus for our loss, in my opinion, it is important to always be careful and skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true,  because as I said, if Casinos often use attractive promotions to attract players, but detailed terms and conditions can make the offer less profitable for us as players, because a good casino should be transparent about the terms and conditions of their promotion, so if we feel that something is unclear or misleading of course it can be a sign to be careful or even not get involved in it.

We often assume that a simple deposit is all it takes to claim a bonus, but it's crucial to keep in mind that there are typically additional requirements. Sure, casinos are willing to give these bonuses—but only after you’ve completed the conditions.

Of course, the real reason casinos offer these bonuses is to grab attention. They invest in these promotions knowing they’ll get even bigger returns in the long run. However, we need to be cautious with these offers because some people use them to scam others. That’s why, before using any site, it’s essential to check its legitimacy to ensure we are on the right platform—not a fraudulent one.

There are; 1. True promotions, 2. False promotions and 3. Misconceived promotions. It depends on the one you opted for, that's why it's good to sign up with a reputable casino directly.

Assuming you are signing up through a third party, endeavour to do so through a trusted third party because many affiliates, for their desperation, would promise what the casino did not promise just to lure you to gamble with them.

Again, read the Ts&Cs of casinos very well, many discrepancies are mere misconceptions, they might have been covered in the ToS or misinterpreted.

The free spins is the good option for newcomers as they allow to evaluate RTP metrics relevant to that particular slot to which it is applied.  Unfortunately the type of  RNG they use still remains under wraps but even single RTP may give some inside on whether this slot is worthy to proceed  with ^{sure with the smallest  bets for longer play to have a better winning chance}. Thus I appreciate such casinos.

That’s a crucial point... Affiliates promoting casinos will never go out of their way to explain the full terms and conditions of bonuses. Their goal is simple, to lure gamblers in legally. Once you take the bait, you’ll sign up and claim the bonus. But if you are doing blindly, like clicking the “I agree to the TOS” without actually reading them, you’re setting yourself up for trouble later on.

When things go wrong, then you might end up complaining...  but honestly, that’s on your fault as you can never blame the casino if you didn’t take the time to read the terms. Ignorance isn’t an excuse, so don’t give yourself a reason to feel embarrassed later.

I have not tried it and whether it is only for a particular game or not on the playgram, but in mechanism marketing I am enough to appreciate it because the number of $ 30 is fairly large, and that is the best way to attract customers, and I think I'm getting interested.

And usually a program like that is done for new users, but for the mechanism of acceptance there must usually be a number of conditions, such as making deposits in the amount of several dollars to get it, and other tasks that need to be done to get it, and one can be played in several certain games or bets.

With all of the promos and bonuses being offered by the casinos, it's a marketing style that never gets old.

That's why many are getting more hooked to anything because of bonuses and promos that have been offered to them.

It's a nice way to get more customers get inside the casino because of these perks. But always make sure that you are aware of the mechanics before getting into it because that's when some are complaining about such rules when they haven't read all of it.

It’s definitely all written there, you only click if you want to opt into the promo. Everything is laid out clearly, so you can’t blame the casino for not informing you because the terms were there from the start.

To avoid any issues, maybe it’s better not to opt for the welcome bonus. That way, you can gamble freely without having to deal with those tough requirements before you can cash out your winnings. Simple and hassle-free.  :D

Where'd you see the offer? If it was banners and stuff then sure as hell just misdirection, but still legal since it's technically your fault for not reading the full guidelines for it. It's similar to how discount say max of 99% off but only for some very shtty items you probably would never need in your entire life lol. It's marketing done by every business out there. Just read the fine print before trying to claim anything regarding any bonuses and discounts and I reckon you're good.

some casinos have different rules for deposit bonuses or free spins given. you should read the terms of use of the bonus first. some casinos specialize in free spin bonuses on certain games, so not for all game providers.
my experience with free spins, it only makes a few dollars even after completing 50-100 spins. it is very difficult to get a big multiplier, there will be more losses and fewer small wins.

Well, some of the bonus is to  lure the player into registering on the casino, after which that's when the player will understand that before he or she can fully activate the bonus, there are some terms and conditions that apply.

For example, there's a site that always advertise on a TV channel, they would say, "quickly win a $5k first time bonus from us when you register, terms and conditions apply. "

They have already made it known that there are some T&C applicable but would not mention it, if you are too eager to win that money from them, you might care about the T&C at that moment until you have register, that's when you will realize that the T&C is not an easy one.

So, that's how it is with casino, those first bonus that see there actually have terms and conditions.

That is a promotion that the casino gives to their members especially for their new members so they will come back to the casino with the other money. I never used that method to gamble because that promotion has different requirements that can make it difficult to fill. If you think that promotion is a mirage, you don't have to use that promotion and use the normal ways. We need to choose what we can and not what we want because that can make us spend more money without we realize.

Indeed, we can get a 100% plus return and free spins on that promotion but we must read the other ToS so we are not think that promotion trick us especially if lose all of the money or win and we want to withdraw the money. We need to make sure that we are in the right promotion.

300% bonus on first deposit? If it's in crypto casino gambling, I don't think I've seen it here on our forum. But if it's in other crypto casinos online that are promoted by famous influencers, I see a lot on Facebook and YouTube that the welcome bonus given on the first deposit is even more.

Then the minimum deposit amount is around 10$ but the bonus you can receive is around 120$, I just can't remember which casino it was but as far as I know, that casino no longer exists because it's no longer promoted by the influencers that I know.

Forget them, they aren't going to help you in any way, unless you are into the casino for the gambling experience, meaning you don't have to spend a dime to feel the experience, but I guess that's not the case with many gamblers on here, everyone want to make money.

If this is you then focus on using your hard earned cash to try your luck, bonuses from online casinos are based on criteria and sometimes I found them to be too harsh on gamblers but at the same time I don't blame them, because of bad gamblers who can start spamming the system.

As for me I gave up on casino bonuses long time ago, they aren't that interesting as they used to, now I prefer using my money to gamble and go back to my daily life.

conditions that they make almost impossible to meet, unless those bonuses are just meant to be used to test the casino; if not, some bonuses that I have been given by a few new casinos are almost equal to saying they don't want you to leave the casino with anything. How can someone be subjected to wagering up to 10 to 50 times in a specific game before you will be allowed to qualify for withdrawal for whatever's left there, which in some cases, before the end of the wager requirement, your balance might already be empty.

No one will just give away money (free spins, which, btw, can bring winnings, in theory) without a hidden interest. In a casino, this hidden interest is immediately clear - the money of gamblers and the casino welcome bonus helps to get it, because each new gambler for the casino is a potential profit.

Casino welcome bonus is a marketing ploy and you should not believe what is written in the advertising headlines. Most often, the true conditions for receiving these bonuses should be looked for in the rules of the casino. The casino conceals details and only the most advantageous moments for gamblers are used in advertising to lure them.

I also have suspicions (not confirmed) that these free spins are "empty", i.e. deliberately configured so as not to win anything significant. The function of bonuses is to attract gamblers, and not to give them additional opportunities for enrichment.

Welcome bonuses are just one time thing and it comes with own set of criteria to claim them as well as how it can be utilised and how much wagering requirement for the withdrawal. So if playgram set these rules for their welcome bonuses then it's perfect legitimate and we as users need to be responsible to read those while claiming but most people doesn't read anything just read 100% deposit bonus and later they will be blaming the casinos for not able to withdraw or can't usable to bet on regular games.

Bonus offers, these bonus offers are given to attract customers. There are many who get attracted to that casino after seeing the bonus offer and create an account there and according to their offer they make a deposit and start gambling, actually they are very greedy and create a gambling account but later it is seen that they do not get the right results for that offer. Especially I think bonus offers are a complete waste of time I have seen in many casinos they give 300 plus bonus offers but they have some rules according to those rules they have given them if the conditions are not met then they do not include that bonus. If after making an account after seeing the bonus offer two or three free spins are given to you, then it is given to you for fun there you may or may not get something but in most cases you do not get anything so I would say it is better to gamble by depositing your earned money without seeing the bonus offer.

I just don't understand.

When I was an innocent, I tried the welcome bonus because it might me interested due to get a lot money from deposit. After that I learn if welcome bonus is more-less like a fake money where I need to fulfill the requirement in order to withdraw.

That's make me to learn to not participate in welcome bonus anymore, especially this promotion is already old too.

What I mean is, aren't other people learn too? why people are still interested with welcome bonus...

Not sure about the exact ToS of Playgram however welcome bonus of casino especially the deposit bonus that you mentioned is typically can be used on all games including the game that you mention.

What matters most and the typical variation of their bonuses is the wagering requirements set and the amount you can win from that bonus. Aside from that, there’s no such thing as limitation on games that you can play maybe on their free spin rewards but not on the deposit bonus.

when it comes to welcome bonuses or even just promotional bonuses you need to read the terms and conditions or perhaps even ask their support to get more information about the specific bonus. these kinds of bonuses are almost always tempting but they always have a catch which makes the bonus a lot riskier than your initial thought, and yes, promotions like this are a way to hype up and attract gamblers to try their casino out.

It will be better to raise the discussion on the particular casino’s thread and ask them directly about the bonuses. But generally it is seen that they claim a particular “tag line,” and in small fonts it will be written “Terms and conditions applied." Hence, it’s also advised to read the terms and conditions of promotions before depositing any money. If you don’t get the bonuses or if you find any change in rules of contests, then simply do a screen recording and put the matter in front of the public. This is the best thing you can do.

The thing with these promos or bonuses they push to the front the maximum bonus you can get but not what usually most customers get. It might seem like false advertising which I know is illegal in a lot of countries but if the casino manage to find a loophole then they won’t get in trouble for advertising falsely.

There should be terms and conditions for each promo or bonus that one can read so it is also our part to make sure we know exactly what we’re going to get to manage our expectations.

Honestly speaking most casino first time welcome bonus that are displayed on their site, are not what it seams to be. I have seen some casino that has an advert of %300 as a welcome bonus but after sign-up I couldn't see any bonus. Some will give you the welcome bonus but not up to the amount you see displayed on screen. But I will advise before sign-up, you should try as much as possible to know if truely that site has given such bonus to other users  before registering. I will also advise again don't specialise in welcome bonus before signing up on gambling site. Just make sure there are other important features that will attract you to the site because almost every site has a huge welcome bonus displayed on there website. Some even comes with %500 or %600 which may not be really true.

I believe that this topic has been widely discussed already, quite a few times in the past. I believe the other topic I'm referring to is still open for new replies, so I don't find it necessary to have another one as well. Welcome bonuses are to lure you into signing up and depositing money on the casino; usually, the higher the deposit, the higher the bonus is, so it's simply an attempt to spend more than you actually intended. More often than not, they have major wagering requirements in order to be redeemed, making it more of a risk and a liability than it's actually offering you.

It is very possible because not all companies have integrity when it comes to trying to attract new customers. Some casino's may not mind hyping up their features to make themselves an attractive choice for gamblers. Casino's who use this deceitful method will end up being criticized a lot when gamblers sign up for these bonuses and discover them to be fake, or a hype. A casino that is dishonest should not be one to play in because they do not care about integrity or customer's, and they can end up doing anything later and there will be nothing you can do about it rather than just complain and recommend people not to gamble there which sometimes do not get to enough audience for it to be effective enough to spoil their business. A good casino will take any promise of reward or bonus very seriously.

Any casino that fails to fulfill the bonuses it promises to gamblers should be avoided because they are fraudulent. Some casinos it as a means of attracting unsuspected players but that's a wrong way of doing it. But most of the well known casinos in this forum are trustworthy when it comes to bonuses especially those that have a long time running campaign.

The best place to ask this question will be the ANN thread of the casino you mentioned.

Yahh Totally agree with this one! No casino out there that is going to give away free money and not expect something in return, they want something in you, they are in the business of making returns and not handing free money. All those welcome bonuses and free spins have one goal, to attract customers.

And yes, those free spins too, the so-called ‘empty spins’, Pronounced also feel kind of valid for them always giving small wins. Casinos are trying to make players believe that they are ready to ‘hit the jackpot’ anytime and hence they keep indulging in more games. Be smart at all times. Always read the rules.

When making a large deposit and getting a welcome bonus, will it completely affect the game and the limitations, will it end when the welcome bonus runs out?

Because when trying some casinos that provide welcome bonuses, games like Slots are very easy to lose without getting a Big Win at all, maybe the system applied for the Welcome Bonus has indeed been set up in such a way, so that the winning percentage is very small, right?

Every casino uses different terms for their bonuses so you just gotta read the terms and conditions that will be applied if you take a welcome bonus. Make sure you read them carefully and understand so you aren't confused later.

Casinos know that a very large portion of the time players will take a bonus and it's hard to clear the requirements, so make sure you read the terms and the conditions are favorable and able to be beat.

My position is as follows - I do not count on welcome bonuses in casinos. If they are there - it's good, if they are not there - no big deal!

In my opinion, welcome bonuses in casinos are just part of the marketing strategy of this online casino. Casino welcome bonuses, in practice, do not affect the success of my game. At the same time, any bonus from the casino, as a rule, is accompanied by additional conditions and restrictions. I do not always like this.

When choosing an online casino to play, I pay little attention to welcome bonuses.

Other things are more important to me - for example, ease and hassle-free withdrawal of funds.

Everyone who wants to make money by playing on a casino will need to take advantage of welcome bonuses - it's almost the only guaranteed way to walk away with a profit. If done correctly and when you fully understand the requirements to unlock the bonus, it can end up being quite lucrative if you use them at many different websites. Sports betting welcome offers, which usually involves unlocking free bets, will be the easiest to complete and casino offers can be the most unpredictable or difficult to complete. You must also understand any playthrough requirements because they can be very tricky with wording or put excessive demands in place - which can be almost impossible to complete.

It could be there are terms to such bonuses which you may not be fully aware of a s you may have not red them too to understand because I feel that would be the only reason and explanations to why even after funding you don't get to see you bonuses, my own experience was with one of the casinos I funded $200 and I was giving a bonus upto 300% so I placed a bet using all of the funds both the bonus but up on withdrawals of my winnings the bonus percentage wasn't withdrawable so I red on their term and saw it was stated but I didn't see it before placing the bet.

Before availing any bonus or rewards, it is always advisable to read their terms or conditions so you won't be put on a tight spot when you finally want your funds out of the site. The terms are always there but usually the player doesn't give much attention or fully understand what their terms are. They will only go back to those conditions when they encounter issues upon withdrawal or upon claiming the bonus.

Generally, casinos, a lot, are not deceitful with the bonuses given to gamblers. It's only that most players play for a longer duration before getting a win. Though it's questionable, still it facilitates the growth of the gaming platform and increases the player's desire to play more games. So, it'll only be termed a con scheme if the player doesn't receive whatever benefit is promised by the house.  But, whether a player wins or not with the bonus, is on a different ground of argument.

What did you mean? If there is a scam just explain here for us. But generally all bonus have some conditions and limit for a win.
You can't get unlimited cash ::) this applies also with sports bonus.
Even if they are giving free cash, in the long term, each player that use a casino is a great value for them.
There is always a profit even giving some "free cash".

It can be said that it is indeed a false advertisement, but I think it is a natural thing for casinos like that to do, their goal is to make a profit so they will definitely do marketing that can attract many people, besides that now many people are tempted by big wins that are said to be easy to get, the problem is they are too serious in responding to it, until when their expectations are missed they are annoyed and conclude that this is a scam. Even though the casino is only trying to develop its business.
Bonuses at the beginning of registration are usually there, besides that the casino also provides promotions or other bonuses for its customers who are used to gambling at its casino, but usually for those who take this option will be given other requirements that must be met to get what they choose, this is not a problem because this is a natural thing.

I

It most certainly is, I mean imagine the feeling of you already having so much fixated on your head as it's displayed and then after following through you get to see another whole thing entirely. It's really frustrating and if you don't know how to control your emotions you might end up losing it and definitely falling into the exact same reason and purpose of that intention of the casino.

Only noobs who will call up these bonuses to be scams on which if they will really be just that trying to see up the situation thoroughly then they are the ones who do have
that mistake when it comes on believing things. They do really have those kind of impressions that casinos are really that giving out some free money for nothing or simply free
without any terms and conditions on which we do really know that it is impossible. This is a business and not a charity on which simply means that they will really be making it look
as interesting and attractive as possible so that there would really be tons of deposits because they do believe that those bonuses doesnt have some terms and conditions. lol

Usually, there are terms and conditions for the promotion, right? I think it has something to do with deposits, game restrictions, and maybe limited time in gambling. I believe if you read the fine print, it could give you the correct information about it.

If the casino is legitimate or has a good reputation, I doubt it could be a scam. I hope that you get to have a fair play.

It is normal if casino offers a return for the first time deposit to new members. They want to attract attention from new members so they will return to casino in the next days. They also have the other promotion such as second deposit bonuses and so on. But you need to know that behind of that promotion, there is requirement that you must fill and if you think you can take the promotion, you can try it. But if you think the requirement is too difficult for you to reach, you can skip the promotion and wait for the next promotion. You just need to deposit for the minimum amount to start gambling and forget about promotion because you don't want to spend much money.

In different casino there are different tricks. In one casino i mustn`t withdraw money for the month to get such bonus. In the other i`ve got freespin when i`m only in sport betting. I can`t say that they cheated me - it was in the ToS, but it was really difficult to find if you don`t ready to such tricks.
I can`t say about all casinos, but i`m sure that lots of casinos use such tricks. The result mostly the same - after such mistake, the gambler begins to ready ToS attentively and search for such tricks.

I visited the casino to bring you the terms of this bonus. kindy read it..

As you can see, the requirements are pretty simple: just play the free spins, and if you win, you get to keep it. There’s no unrealistic wagering requirement like some comments have mentioned. So, if you’re up for it, give it a try, and maybe you can drop an update here with your feedback.

Yes, as in the end the promotions don't favour most gamblers, rather they favour the casino itself, due to harsh requirements imposed by the house which have to be met by gamblers in order to be rewarded. Most gamblers fail meeting the criteria, and then they just lose their deposits, generating profit for the house. Promotions aren't a great deal anymore. What I really enjoyed were the giveaways some casinos offered.

Giveaways are interesting, because they don't involve betting requirements in counterpart. You just execute a task for the casino and the prize is delivered to you already, so you can do anything you wish with this, including the possibility of withdrawing it from the platform to your wallet. However, it's been a long time since I saw giveaways being offered for the last time. Casinos don't feel like they need to give this kind of benefit to gamblers anymore, because gamblers are already satisfied with the unprofitable promotions available.

Welcome bonus is a bad promotion for gamblers, I only interested with odds boost or wager for x multipliers or any other that more promising.

Giveaway nowadays are held in social medias, so you need to follow their social medias, they didn't offer in their casino anymore because it won't attract new people to gamble in their casino. At least it make new people to create accounts, it's already an achievement for them to grow the casino.

This is correct interpretation on how casino welcome bonus work. It’s just an offer to attract gambler to try the casino hoping that they will not read the fine print for the bonus ToS.

Casino welcome bonuses becomes useless and tricky as ever. They even increase the wagering requirements, put a max win and a max bet that can be counted to your wager in able to clear the bonus reward.

The only advantage of casino welcome bonus is you can have extra bankroll to play in the casino games since the bonus amount usually added to your casino balance that can be used immediately on games.

I think there is something wrong with you. I have got a welcome bonus on a few casinos and I have used it properly. Though it is not withdrawable but I have played and after winning I could withdraw based on the winning amount. And few sites give bonuses based on the wager of the deposit amount (eg: bc.game).

I agree with what you're saying dude, casino platforms do that so they can attract more casino players to play or gamble on their gambling platform, that's the main purpose of their marketing scheme, nothing else.

And I also think that's an effective strategy, who wouldn't be attracted if there was a welcome bonus, but of course don't expect that you'll win a big amount using the bonus they give you because it's already programmed into their casino system as to how much you can win there.

Casino welcome bonus is designed not to make you as players have bigger chance to win, I can even say that welcome bonus make you get lower chance to win because of the wagering requirement applied to the bonus.
This kind of bonus gives you more money to play indeed but the bigger bonus you get, the more amount you need to wager in order to unlock the bonus to be withdrawable.
With a luck, it may give you good profit but mathematically I dont like welcome bonus due to its hard requirement to complete.


I took the bonus on playgram long time ago but I'm not sure what is the current bonus they offer.
Are they offering deposit bonus or free spins on deposit? If it is free spins, usually it can be played on few slots only as they choose.
But if it is deposit bonus, you may use it on any slots IMO.

If you end up signing up to a casino, oftentimes there are bonuses that have many strings attached. So I would say generally these bonuses fall on two categories overall. Those with strings attached and those with no strings attached.

If you are called to deposit in order to receive a bonus and then your original money has to be watered a certain amount of times in order for you to be able to withdraw, then chances are you will lose everything.
So I'd say these rules of bonuses, in spite of being very common, have gotten themselves a bad wrap for a reason and should be avoided.

If you find bonuses that are given to you without terms, that's great but tends to be kinda rare.

No-condition bonuses are very rare and only exist in a few casinos, and most of the welcome bonuses have many conditions, one of the most important is to deposit and bet, that is already a common thing we know from welcome bonuses.
But the most important thing is that we read first whether there are conditions or not, whether there is a shrimp behind the rock or not, we must be observant in understanding each bonus offered and do not enter carelessly without knowing the background of why the bonus is offered.

I also myself question these promotional offers because more most of them are tempting for new players as they can be misleading to them. Many casinos use these flashy promotions as marketing tactics to attract players but the terms and conditions often make them less possible to enjoy them than they seem. For example with the 300% offer you mentioned, it’s common for casinos to attach restrictions like a very high wagering requirements, specific games you can play or even limits on how much you can withdraw from winnings tied to the bonus.

As for the 100% deposit offer you saw I think it’s a good idea to carefully check the terms. Because in my long experience many times, such bonuses are tied to certain games, meaning you might not be able to use them on your preferred slot like Sweet Bonanza. I believe thee is no bonus without these conditions of wagering, an attempt from them to make deposits after losing the bonus.

Welcome bonuses are an attraction, and they easily tempt the gamblers to give a try on the platform. Some get interested in using the platform for the very first time and continue using it. With most gambling platforms, there is a limitation that needs to be fulfilled. Gamblers just watch the tagline and never have an eye on the terms and conditions. Once I had an experience, I deposited $50 and got a $20 bonus. The thing is that I need to wager $100 to withdraw the fund. Started wagering with $1, and at some point I was close to the $100 wagering limit. By the time the wallet balance was down to $50, I wasn't able to accept it. Continued to wager and increase the wallet balance, which resulted in the loss of the total amount deposited along with the bonus. So, bonuses were kind of marketing, which needs to be utilised with perfect understanding and control, if not, the loss is going to be massive.

It brings profit in the long run and not immediately. Welcome bonus are mostly because of marketing and casino awareness, no casino that mean business will allow their customers win free bonus and allow them withdraw immediately unless the don't have a good financial secretary or advisor among the team, they will go down after one month of operation. Funny thing is people always find a way to win with bonus quickly but can't do with their own money.

Some casino has their wash they make bonus withdraw available, some make sure you rollover that bonus 2-3 times and some can give you deal to wager your own deposit atleast 2 times and you will be allowed to withdraw after that, this strategy are just ways they get back at the new customers so that everything can be win win for the casino and the players so they can have long mutual benefit in long run.

OP's question is about the terms behind the sign-up bonus for Playgram, and the full terms have already been shared. None of those terms have ridiculous wagering requirements, so there’s no need to speculate anymore. Every casino has different terms, but the ones being shared here seem pretty attractive to me.

to highlight the most important term from playgram that answer the question.

"Enjoy no wagering requirement on free spins winning - what you win is yours to keep, instantly."

It's not that bad at all. It's a welcoming bonus and so that the gamblers will feel that they're welcomed in good faith. But with all of the bonuses, this isn't spared from conditions that are being set by the casino. And that's the reason why many don't seem to be happy with all of these because of the requirements that are being asked for the gamblers to get that bonus. There are things to be done before claiming that bonus and every gambler knows that so even in the bad side, I just want to appreciate that who knows that some new gamblers out there are happily going to take on that quest.

This is my first time to see a casino with free spins without wagering requirements. I usually play on some casinos that need to wager a fixed amount or more than 30x the amount you deposit before you can withdraw your funds from the casino.

It's actually a good offer: free spin plus no wager requirements for me, this is a good terms and bonus that offers 300+ on the first deposit and 100 free spins on slots.
OP's problem is that he is asking about the limitation of the bonus, but I think you can only use these bonuses for a specific game or slots to any gambling casinos.

It might be bad, but its good promotion for casino to get some or even more new users. But first and foremost, try to read terms of the deposit bonus first. Been there done that, i have an issue regarding that too, when i deposit and play then try to withdraw later, i didnt realize that i need to reach certain N win as in fix amount of win before i can withdraw it unlike other that i just need N number of bets, spins, rolls, etc. So that's time i always read the terms for deposit  bonus, if the terms is too long and need so many conditions, i ignore it and will not proceed lol. Probably it will not be easy to get that bonus.

Any
I won't say it's bad but it's not worth it. The casino bonus is just for testing the casino and that's all. Any gambler who is expecting to win something tangible out of betting with the casino bonus might likely get disappointed at the end of the day. The better we know this the better for us. I am aware of some gamblers who keep going about creating accounts in new and old casinos because of the signup bonuses. They also go as far as having multiple accounts in different casinos. With all the eligibility requirement set by the casino to use the bonus most gambler belive there is hack toward and with that idea being stuck in their head they think having several accounts and trials might lead to a success for them.

What I actually hate more is casinos advertising stuff like 300% bonus when in reality is
-50% for first deposit up to $100
-100% for first deposit up to $100
-150% for first deposit up to $100

No matter how you do the math, you deposit $300 and you get $300 in bonus, no way you would be able to get a true 300% deposit,they've gone to such lengths that they are even changing the way the math works just to advertise and catch new users who don't read the fingerprint on those promos.


Can you post the link to the ToS also, I'm rather curious about the stuff at the bottom that you left out?
 

Same here, we do know that casinos are businesses and not charity on which giving out free money to masses or having this kind of set up on giving out some free spins without wagering requirement? This is really that a subject to bankruptcy if they will really be that deciding on continuing on having this one not unless if this one is really that a some sort of promo then it might do or something that will really be temporal. When it comes into this aspect  then it will be understandable but if they will really be doing this permanently then it wont be shocking that this casino would be closing its doors sooner or later.
Just like on what rest been saying on here that bonuses do really sucks, they will really be that making it as attractive as possible to hook up gambling noobs believing that they do have even more money but the truth is that they do set themselves into traps on which they cant be able to easily get out because of wagering requirement. Once they will really be having that experience then they will really be telling into themselves that they wont really be getting any bonuses again in the future.

Yeah right, there are gamblers who are open to take the risk and accept that welcome bonus even there's conditions behind before you can cash it out from the house, they are okay taking the risk hoping for luck to back them up and add the amount for their possible earnings, though some are not aware or some are not reading the TOS and got mad when they realize that there are things that needed to complete before you can actually cash out those welcome bonus from your initial deposits.

if the requirements for claiming a welcome bonus are too easy, of course, it will be a loophole that will be exploited by some fraudsters to make money from the welcome bonus given by the casino.
then it is not surprising that in the end, we will see some gamblers who finally complain about the difficulty of claiming their welcome bonus.
for a welcome bonus in the form of free spins, it may be very easy to give when we first create an account. but to claim the first or subsequent deposit bonus, usually, the casino does provides its own requirements.

Well, I guess it's safe to say that indeed, some of the bonuses that some casinos offer to players and new players alike is nothing but a mirage, which like you said, is a plot to get more news users signing up on the casino, and or old players becoming more active and playing games even when it's not really what they should be doing.

This is one of the ways or tricke some casino usually use to achieve their goal, and unfortunately, several of them end up very successful at this because most gamblers don't research and read, which is one of the ways to not fall victim to such deceptions or deceptive plots of the casino(s) involved.
Read reviews and find out what those who have attempted getting the bonus have to say about it, before you decided whether or not to also go for it.

And as for playgram, I know about this casino but I've not joined them yet, so I can't say if their new customer bonus is legit or not.

We always miss the terms and conditions about the bonuses for the first deposits, we get excited about the marketing banners and we don't intend to read them for being so hype at all. Every details are needed to be clear and read by every gambler that intends to take part in it.

For those that have experienced it, yes, it's not worth it because we're having some new thoughts about these bonuses. We've got some other things to do and they're not worth it at all when we don't see the amount, prize and such to be quite low because our expectations as a gambler also increases. We lose some and when we're not able to fulfill the requirements with these welcoming bonuses, we still continue.

It varies per casino on how easy or hard the requirements that they set and the conditions too. I guess those that are continuing to fulfill them sees the worth and fun on it but everybody says that it's not.

So many casinos use the some strategy to get more and more members but they use the different number. People will interest with the big percentage of the return that they can get so they will try the casino and deposit some requirement money. But for a wise gambler, they will not just in a hurry to deposit their money but will ask to support system about the requirements that needs to be filled.

Welcome bonuses already attract many gamblers to come to the casino and return to the same casino more often. They want to get more promotions such as secondary deposit and other promotions. So the casino will make sure to make other interesting promotion so they will get the benefits from the promotion.

Yeah, you are right there. It is because some games are only easy to win and players can easily wager on them to secure the bonus like a boss 8). As for the bet of the free spin, it can also depend on the tier of bonus that you avail. Higher tiers can of course give you access to better forms of bonuses. If we are only in for fun, we can actually play even without spending a dime, though that type of playing for fun that you mentioned is also for the possibility of scoring some profits if in case we got lucky.

It is more fun to just play and have fun without expecting a lot or expecting that we can get out with some profits.

That's a rare promotion because most other free spins promotion comes with wagering requirement. Perhaps this is a way done by playgram to lure new players. We know that the competition in the gambling industry is not easy so any casino should try to offer something different and attractive. Although mathematically the free spins worth $10 only but with a great luck, the free spins may give something big. The chosen game for the free spins is big bass bonanza, it is a good game but it is hard to win big in this game.

Welcome bonuses have been an effective marketing tool of every casino in attracting new and old customers to play, but in my opinion, sometimes the welcome bonus can be a trap for those of us who do not understand or read the terms and conditions well, so that in the end we can not get the benefit of the bonus, Before playing and using the welcome bonus, of course we must understand that the terms and conditions are the basic key to you can take advantage of these bonuses, so that without a understanding with detailed, of course bonuses can end up being a burden rather than a profit like you have experienced.

Exactly! That's one of the problems with humans. We often don't read the terms and conditions carefully. We see an attractive offer, like a $300 deposit for a $1,000 welcome bonus, and we jump in without understanding the requirements.

We don't take the time to assess the information, instead, we rush in and then complain when we realize we have to meet certain conditions to get the bonus. We should take the time to read the requirements step by step.

When you see welcome bonuses or promotions offered by casinos, especially during festive periods, make sure you understand what's in it for you. Remember that casinos are built to make a profit, so their promotions and welcome bonuses are designed to favor them more than you.

Keep that in mind, and don't feel bad if the bonuses don't go as planned. Instead, focus on playing the main games and seeing how it turns out. To be on the safe side, consider asking a friend who has already joined the platform about their experience with the welcome bonus and the games. This way, you'll know what to expect and can avoid disappointment.

A welcome bonus is a friendly step by the casino towards the player, thus they show their loyalty and hope for long-term cooperation. But now almost every casino has something like this, which means that no matter which casino the player chooses, he will receive this bonus. Most often I see a bonus for the initial deposit, you can get 100% of the first deposit or even more, which looks very tempting for new players. There are also promotions for regular players, you just need to follow the news.

Not a mirage, it's the real purpose of those bonuses. They want more players to enter their online casino and welcome bonuses are one of the means to urge them to sign up and deposit for the first time. I think most online casinos does this kind of promotion now because that's the first step on how they can make a gambler enter.
I think all we have to do is make sure that they are trusted enough that they will give those bonuses after we complete the requirements.

That's why it's called a bonus, because even without it, the casino would still run just fine. Back in the day, those kinds of bonuses weren't really a thing, but now, with the competition heating up, casinos are throwing out attractive bonuses to reel in gamblers. Of course, they're not handing out freebies; there are always terms and conditions hiding in the fine print. Thinking it’s some kind of mirage? Nah, that’s just like admitting we didn’t bother to read the details.

Makes sense I guess, because back in the day, there weren’t even welcome bonuses, but we still fell in love with gambling. If you’re a true gambler, it’s not about chasing bonuses, the main goal is to win, not depend on the perks casinos offer. That said, I can’t blame people who go after promos and bonuses, they do give you a little edge to make things more profitable. Personally, though, I’d stick with my style and focus on the game itself.

There are many casinos who give some welcome bonus to new members after registering an account in the casino but this welcome bonus is used by them as traders. For example, by giving a welcome bonus, new players will definitely be more attracted to gambling, as a result of which they will gamble with the welcome bonus and they will recharge more money for gambling. And thus gambling will be seen that the gambler has spent a lot of money in that casino in gambling and it is totally the profit of that casino.

Such is the reality as seen with the welcome bonuses offered by casinos... We won't easily get a 300% bonus for the first deposit and even have to do it several times not to mention the high wagered requirements, not to mention the limited bonus winnings. ;D

Looks tempting but the reality is not...
Casinos will continue to work with this marketing as it will attract attention for new users.

Every casino has a welcoming bonus because they find it as an effective way to keep their customers. All of those are tempting but there's always the condition and when it comes to that, many won't be obliged to do that and they're good to go trying to think and attempt that they're going to get as exactly what's advertised and told through the bonus. But these casinos are not charity for them to just give it away easily without them benefiting from each of their customers.

This is how most of gambling casino works and how they can attract people to play on their gambling site than the others. The competition in gambling casinos is pretty high that is why they added some unique way to attract people to gamble on their casino.
The free spin is only worth $10, but my friend previously received a free spin on a local digital casino. Despite the wagering requirements, he made nearly $500 but only withdrew $100 due to greediness.

So this rare promotion without wagering requirements is pretty awesome offer if you are lucky maybe you can make it to $1000.
About the game I never had tried that game before except for similar game called sweet bonanza.

Way of attraction. Not a real bonus. Only after signing up and receiving the bonus we get to know that those are mere words, and we've got more terms and conditions connected to it. In the past there were more bonuses and giveaways provided because the competence was low, and those are the days when cryptocurrency usage in gambling began. As the popularity of cryptocurrency began to increase, automatically everything got cut, and now those are mere attractions.

Requirements that you need to check and analyze first before taking it, as like what you mentioned if it's easy then the casino will be abused that's the reason why it's not easy to take that, I guess it's your own will as bettors if you are okay following the rules and hope for luck to back you up and win, by the way it's a gamble and such kind of bonuses gives you chance to take your time much longer inside the casino but in terms of cashing it out, it's not that easy and there's always condition that you needed to complete before you can enjoy and earn it from the house.

The thing is that we should stop accepting stuff like this, if casinos demand we play by the rules and we only play from certain jurisdictions where they are licensed they should also follow the rules, and any casino promoting this kind of bonus would lose any legal battle at least in the EU over false marketing, but that's the thing, nobody who gets cheated or suckered into this does actually file a complain, they just accept the loss and that's why we have more and more of these.


Neah, people who have never gambled before will not load money after losing free money, they will simply quit, the ones that get tricked into these are seasoned gamblers who again and again fall for these traps, not newbies.

If any casino will offer such huge bonus without stress probably it’s either the casino wants more customers and the best offer still remain bonus just to attract gamblers. Concerning deposit bonus, there’s always an amount required first before anyone could enjoy this benefit if I’m not mistaken although the only best way to know is by experience. Your first experience as mentioned depends on the casino or you failed to read the necessary requirement before earning the bonus, lastly the bonus applies to all slot games.

In this tough competition in the gambling industry, offering welcome bonuses has become a common strategy to attract players to their platforms. And why not? If the site seems legit, there’s no harm in giving it a try. However, let’s be clear—bonuses alone won’t make a gambler stick around. The quality of service and customer support ultimately make all the difference.

As gamblers, we can spot a deceptive offer a mile away. If something feels off or too good to be true, we know how to decline—it happens all the time. That’s why it is very important to do a thorough check before jumping on any opportunity. After all, not every offer leads to positive results!

Actually welcome bonus is used nowadays to attract Gamblers and there is no two ways about it. If you check the whole gambling world today, there is a rise in gambling site and the market is competitive so anything can happen. Some add unrealistic bonuses to Catch up customers and yet nothing to get after a long run. While some add bonus and fulfil it by allowing there customers to enjoy bountiful benefits as a reward for patronizing them. So where the market is competitive anything can happen including things like this, No doubt about it.

I don't think casinos still give out such a type of welcome bonus again. I mean a free welcome bonus, which you won't be required to deposit before using, unless it's a demo account, which you can use to test the system and be required to deposit if you want to enjoy a real game and withdrawable winnings.

The type of bonuses that are more popular these days are the ones that you will be rewarded with, with a little bonus added to your deposit as a welcome bonus, and this bonus always comes with wagering requirements that most times are even hard to meet, which makes me wonder if it's just a means to trap someone there until they lose all their money or a means to make them play more and familiarise themselves with the casino.

I have to agree on this one.

We do see, feel and understand once the marketing is a total marketing. While there are offers that tend to be true but not all of them are true.

There are so many offers that we are encouraged to check but then, when we see the mechanics, sometimes they're already the reason why we're discouraged of not pursuing it anymore.

If you are really just that a newbie then usually you do find these bonuses to be really that attractive on which you will really be having thoughts on trying to get it before you will really be losing up that opportunity on doing so. It is really that giving off that good feeling that your current gambling account bankroll or capital had become even more than with your deposit. Yes, it does give out that kind of confidence that you do have a bigger amount but on the time or moment that you've seen yourself needing up to hit up those wagering requirements before you can be able to withdraw then you will definitely be having that kind of disappointment because you cant be able to get out so easily. So, this is the moment that you do find yourself be able to learn up the reality and in next time then you wont really be that eager on getting up these bonuses.

Yeah,

Most of the newbies see these offers from the casinos with these welcoming bonuses as a sign that they're too generous and welcoming and so the newbies feel that they're happy to get on with this.

But as they go on, they will start to notice the hardship on how it goes because there won't that be much encouragement to them once they're in the midst of it. That's when the realization will come that it's not too easy to become eligible with these welcome bonuses.

I do agree into those points above on which these things usually happen when we are still a newbie on having those kind of interest because of that having more money that will be credited into your account. For those who do have some bitter experience about bonuses then they will normally be avoiding these things and would be choosing not to activate it out because they are really that a great disadvantage. There are those gamblers who do able to get out because they are just being lucky but majority of those who do get those bonuses are trapped and bust up all their capital before they could make it out.

100%-200%-300% or whatever they will really be offering those good looking additional with your balance but just like on what everyone is saying on here that we are really that bound to lose in the very end.
This is why gambling addiction is really that rampant or common because gamblers will really be trying out to get out and making up even more deposit at the time that they do believe that they are almost be able to get those loses back.  :D

At most times, they're offering 100% welcoming bonus for the first deposit.

While that's a real offer but you have to go through with the rules to make sure that it's doable on yuor end. But if a newbie is mentored by an old gambler.

For sure that they'd say the same thing that it's best to just avoid them and enjoy the money that they are about to deposit so that there won't be any strings attached and nothing to expect.

don't you know that is some of the gambling platform what they do is to say something that will get you attracted so on the process you will be saying something that you don't know about so for me I think that the best thing to do is to make research about gambling website very well because if you focus on the bonus and the price gambling casino website gives to you you will think that they are the best gambling option to use so many people who has a casino use attractive method in order to purchase the mindset of the gamblers

Choosing the right casino to gamble at is actually pretty simple. If you’re attracted by the bonuses they offer, you can always verify the full terms when signing up, as those are usually more transparent than the feedback you might read from other gamblers.

The real problem only comes in the long run if you don’t bother reading the terms of service. If you skip reading them, you really don’t have the right to complain later, especially if it’s clearly stated there, but you still insist on what you believe.

Exactly, that’s the risk. Even if we read the TOS before signing up, it’s still important to review it periodically since terms can change over time, and those changes might not work in our favor. Otherwise, we could end up surprised later.

The welcome bonus is there for a reason, we know that..  it’s a strategy to attract gamblers and, at the same time, increase the casino’s profitability. If we keep that reality in mind, we’ll be less likely to get easily attracted and careless.

Many people will not realize the risks because they don't read the ToS before sign up and only register themselves to get the welcome bonuses. Besides that, many people abuse the welcome bonuses and make themselves in trouble because casino easily checked their account and freeze it if they are really cheat the casino.

But we know that welcome bonuses attracts many people and they are trying to get it because they thinks that with that bonuses, they can win big money. They don't think that is a way to gets deeper in gambling and they will also get addicted to gambling if they don't have a strong self control. That is why we must be careful with the welcome bonuses and think twice before we decide.

Yes, it is clear that in addition to maintaining their customers, it is also one of the ways they do to attract more people to be interested in gambling at their casino, the purpose of which is to seek greater profits, even though they spend some money on their customers because the bonuses given are not only for one customer, but I don't think it makes them suffer big losses because of course they have limited it according to what was planned so that there is no excessive spending of funds. Regarding the requirements, of course it is a natural thing, therefore even though they take the bonus, they will not get it if they do not meet the requirements, like what my friend did when he was going to gamble, he chose the bonus feature and the condition was that he had to reach a certain amount to be able to make a withdrawal, if the amount is not above what the casino ordered, he will not be able to withdraw the profits that have been obtained.

All this works well on naive people and those who do not have good mental abilities. It is immediately clear that the casino does not just give away money left and right. It is just a good marketing ploy that has been working for many years now. I could not even imagine that this is such an effective tool. It turns out I was wrong about this. I will need to add it to my arsenal. Maybe someday it will come in handy.

What exactly is written in ToS to make gambling process risky? Or what did casino in their ToS so that you got surprised? I think 99% casinos have similar ToS. Difference is usually in a list of countries that are ok to register from, but that is due to licensees and casino registration country. I have never seen a situation, when for example freshly registered user registered to get a bonus, but in ToS it was written that he is ineligible to receive it. The only problems with welcome bonus I know are freaking weird wager requirements.

A new gambler first has an account on a gambling site and while making an account, he may not want to deposit money, so basically to encourage gamblers to gamble, various casinos give new account holders a certain amount of bonus money so that they gamble with that money. When a gambler gambles with that bonus money, he will develop an attraction towards gambling and when he burns all the money, he will deposit the money from outside into his account and start gambling. This is basically what casino companies expect. This can be said to be a strategy of gambling companies and they are very successful in catching this strategy because maximum new gamblers gamble with bonus money and deposit money separately for gambling.

Recently I also tried my luck by playing slots for bonus spins, and as always I was unlucky. I played at the online casino that we have on the forum, and it provides two attempts to play slots for a good bonus amount, which with a good multiplier can really bring a good win. And thanks to this, now I believe that you can really win a significant amount without making a deposit at the casino. But in fact, I did not win anything this time, the feeling is that luck is absolutely not on my side in slots.

But when people see an interesting offers, their minds will think that they can get the welcome bonuses especially if the reward is big for them. That can push them to start depositing the money and start gambling. But that will not guarantee they will win using that welcome bonuses so they must be careful with that.

When he don't get anything from the welcome bonuses, he will curious and will deposit more money to continue gambling. That will not a good idea since that can makes them lose more money. The casino just waiting for that moment and see how the gambler will still gambling using more money and when the gambler is lose, that will be the time for casino to take the money.

Am not just a fan of bonuses anymore these days because they attract too much heat!!!

Bonuses back in the day were so much easy & straight forward ,  no hidden agendas,  just no BS...but today once you get a bonus it's KYC to follow or whatever investigations because their T&Cs allow them to do so :P
Sometimes I get this picture of casinos using bonuses as a trap to get funds away from their customers using deception and frustration strategies...that's why it's important to stick to brands known to the forum forexample..just not to fall for cheap tricks.

Of course, bonuses are intended to make casino users continue to play actively, because casino competition is very tight, so bonuses are one way to attract users.


Each bonus will usually list the rules that players must follow so that they can meet the rules if they succeed in withdrawing them later.
You should ask their live support directly or how and read the rules, and because you have a specific slot game that you like, you have to look for bonuses without playing rules in the slots that have been set.

Your points are the same reasons why I do not opt for any bonuses again, I realised that most of them are just an illusion, they are not real if you "dissect and bisect" them cleverly. Those who are giving the bonuses are not fools as well and they give you on top of your deposit which makes your money higher and would have been more threat to them if they did not have a plan. Still, some bonuses are fair in difficulties but you need to also face the hurdle of the Ts&Cs. Heaven helps you to end it well by the time you fulfil some insane requirements.

I think the majority of gamblers who enter the casino, particularly in slot games, are always the ones who lose, those like us players who are unlucky in betting. Then I have never experienced having a free spin as a welcome bonus.

Because there are other welcome bonuses here, most of the time in crypto gambling there is a minimum amount to give you 200% and more. Unlike what I see on Facebook where ads promoted by influencers are a minimum of 5$ and there is 200% and above.

I see casino welcome bonus as traps most times and a medium to lure users get in touch with a game and as well it sure have high chances of loosing,In most cases I don't really make use of the bonuses when I can make deposit to play a specific game of my choice that i want but then these welcome packages are like advertisement for the casino as alot of users usually want to give in to it.

It seems to me that not all casinos are ready to make such a move to give a welcome bonus to those players who have registered but are not yet ready to deposit money. But I will say that this is a good practice when a player can get the opportunity to play with bonus money.

Not long ago I managed to win bonus money at BC.Games, before that I had never played at this casino, but after I received the bonus I studied all their sections, looked at reviews about this casino and realized that this is a very good casino, with very high ratings. Then I tried to make a few bets and I liked how everything is arranged there, everything is very convenient, so I can say that I am with this casino for a long time!

Come to think of it. I have a good review of using the BC game casino even Rollbit because their bonus are been paid in full if wagered accordingly to their demand. At some point in time, they have to make their wager requirement a lot more difficult than before. And on the other side they reduced their bonus I don't know if it is still the same now. But what am saying in essence is that giving out a welcome bonus to players who are not ready to deposit is not a bad idea. The casino can do it and make the wagering requirement much more difficult that only few will be luck to win in. If they want an easy wager requirement then they can deposit. Its a matter of choice and the option should be there for them.

Deposit bonus vary from casino to casino with different conditions for redeeming them. I have someone that requires wagering x10 and I have also seem some that requires less. What I have not seen and understand how it works is first depost being required to be played on specific games. I don't know how this will work but I feel the right thing to do is to allow the gamblers the flexibility of choosing games to meet the wagering requirements.

Op I can still remember that I created this kind of thread about freebitco in my early days in the forum. And from that I also discovered that it is mainly for the additional promotion of the casino for more gamblers to visit the casino and join. Well I don't blame them because it is also a way of getting gamblers attention. And even though they are not giving the 100% bonus as started they normally give some percentage from another event or the same advertised purpose. I saw a casino today giving 100% bonus and I was like it is not possible.  Though some can do it then it will not to all the participants but some selected gamblers.

Slot games or any other casino games then it will really be that making someone on bound to lose in the end of the day, even if we do say into those people who had been able to make up some winnings but eventually be able to failed up on securing these profits and decided to play further just because they are hoping for something more. Human greed will really be the main reason on why people do lose up everything just because of those kind of hopes and anticipations that they could make easy money with gambling which it is really that a very wrong mindset to have. If you do keep yourself having this kind of assumptions or views towards gambling then sooner or later you will really be that sleeping on the streets just because of that uncontrollable kind of betting or doing gambling games.

As for bonuses then i do agree into those most words above that they will really be that making it attractive as possible on which we do know that they can be able to hook up those newbies around whenever they do saw that they could be having to get that more gambling capital without even knowing about into those terms and conditions behind with those bonuses. On the time that you would really be having those experiences then you would really be definitely be trying out to avoid it on next time just because you've been aware on how or what are the things that you would really needing up to comply on the moment that you do activate out these bonuses.

Yes, they're not giving away money because they're not a charity or any type of institution that gives help to people. They're a business and it's true that whateever bonuses we see they offer are good for marketing ploy that they have planned. And if you can't imagine how it is effective. Just check the grocery stores and shopping centers that you use to visit, this type of welcome promos are also there and everywhere. It's very effective to the point that a customer feels premium just by being offered with such and not obliged in pursuing the money that's on it.

The fact is that every promotion or bonus given by a company is done purposefully so that we as consumers pay attention. This demonstrates how they are struggling to make more profit and justify network value that seems profitable. To the extent that we utilise the bonus appropriately, then the very fact that we know the terms is an advantage in itself. But the most important thing in this issue is to continue shopping or investing in accordance with skills and requirements.

The welcome bonus given to the gamblers after opening the account cannot be withdrawn by the gamblers but the gamblers have to spend the bonus on gambling. If a gambler can make money by gambling by using the bonus money, then that gambler can withdraw that money, but most of them cannot make a profit with the bonus money, instead, they lose the bonus money and deposit the money again and gamble again. While gambling for fun, gambling becomes their habit at some point and at that time they gamble without controlling themselves as a result of which they lose a lot of money by gambling. So I think new gamblers should prioritize how prepared the gambler is to gamble rather than giving too much importance to the amount of the bonus.

That's right, there is no guarantee that they can win in gambling even though the casino gives the bonus, there must be a limit, it is impossible for the casino to give them a bonus with a very large amount, also with the fact that the bonus that the casino gives is not intended to make it easier for players to win, winning still depends on the luck of each individual because if they are lucky, they don't need to take the bonus, they can win or vice versa.
Maybe it makes more sense if the bonus is intended to make the gambler more interested in gambling and gambling by depositing a certain amount of money continuously. But in any case, losing a lot of money or not depends on each person's perception, because in my opinion the casino itself does not force its players to gamble excessively.

Exactly in those days bonuses were given if you an active player or gambler of the casino or if you deposit huge amount not gamble in the casino and leveling up to another rank follow with bonuses but now things are not like before again. As you said bonuses now is attached with KYC forcing people to submit KYC which is not nice. I am not seeing in this days sign up bonuses again but they have also changed it to deposit bonuses.
Deposit bonus is more preferable than the KYC bonus.

KYC is normal if the casino is regulated. Whether or not there’s a bonus, you’re still required to comply with KYC. I know of only one casino that gives a bonus for completing level 2 KYC, but aside from that, bonuses shouldn’t be tied to KYC. It’s a misconception to think otherwise.

Even if that bonus can be withdraw, gamblers must wager for some money or xx times and other requirements so that will makes gamblers difficult to get the money. Usually, that is happen to casino that is not thinking about how they can get trust from their members. The casino only thinks how they can gets the money from their members in a short term. So that is why gamblers must be careful selecting the casino because not all casinos can gives the bonuses without much requirements. Gamblers should consider that gambling for fun without trying so hard to make money and let them enjoy by playing gambling on that casino.

No guarantee for winning in gambling that is something that gamblers must remember so they will not have to try to spends more money and expecting to win. If they still do that and choose to use more money, they will see that will not happen easily as they want because gambling is not a place to make money. These welcome bonuses is like a tool to attract attention from new members so they will deposit their money and continue for gambling. If those gamblers realize about no guarantee for winning, they will not follow to deposit their money instead will leave the casino for a while and thinks for what next they can do. If they think that it is no problem if they deposit some money and could accept the losses that can happen, they are free to do that and try to enjoy their time in gambling.

That is true, there's always a purpose when bonuses are given by the casinos. It's foremost for the marketing and to make more attraction to the business.

Learning new skills through gambling. Maybe there will be some that the others will learn like risk management, risk tolerance and bankroll management and I think there are more.

New casino and even some old casino enforcing mandatory KYC to all players is now using bonuses to push player to do KYC.

Stake, Bitcasino and more usually offer bonuses for KYC verified users. This is their way to encourage user to do KYC since they provide lucrative rewards for just completing KYC. Also some new casino offer free spins in addition to welcome bonus if a user completed KYC in advance.

With defeats that are certain to occur more often than wins, it can be said that there is certainty in gambling, but this certainty is losing money or experiencing losses. Those who are crazy about winning or obsessed with winning in gambling are likely to continue gambling even though they have experienced defeat in previous gambling that they have done, until what they do is spend money continuously and can even make them have no money at all.
Actually, it is better for us to gamble by knowing the limits such as knowing when to stop gambling or being aware that the risks of gambling are very large, so we must be prepared for the risks that will occur when we gamble. Never have the thought of pursuing victory in gambling because it is very risky, even if you are a rich person, but when this mindset has emerged, addiction will definitely occur, including other bad things.

Not all casino use bonuses to ask KYC from their players, KYC will be asked when the casino think that there is something unusual with the account (usually abuser) who try to take advantage from the bonus. Regarding sign up bonus without deposit, it is no longer popular than years ago because I believe casino learn a lesson from such bonus. There were too many abusers who want to make money from such a bonus by making multi accounts.

Casino companies will never think that gambling can harm you or that the money you use for gambling can be spent on your family. The company's sole objective is to make a profit from the gamblers, they don't need to look at where the gamblers got their money from. 

When opening a new store, there are some discounts for a few days to attract customers, it is normal for a bonus to be given to encourage a new person to open an account in the casino. Casino companies have a good understanding of this type of marketing and they know that they can earn multiple times the money they give to that account as a bonus, so they treat the bonus as a profit.

That's the gambling industry, don't be tempted by various bonuses, especially welcome bonuses or deposit bonuses, I'm already full of these bonus promotions, as you said, none of them are really as expected, so play for real without expecting any bonuses, if you hope that you can multiply the bonus 10x, that's nonsense, you will be disappointed because of that.

So if you deposit and bet and you win, that's the reality, what you get won't be disappointing, but if you continue to rely on bonuses, you will definitely curse at the casino, indeed bonus tricks like that are often used by public casinos, remember, it's your real money that makeyou are happy.

They’re transparent about it, as they clearly show the terms of the bonuses. I think it’s only an issue on our part if we don’t take time to read the TOS. Personally, I’d still prefer gambling at a casino that offers bonuses, although I don’t usually take advantage of deposit bonuses. Those bonuses show there’s a potential reward for those who win and meet the rollover requirements. It’s not easy, but isn’t the reason we deposit because we want to gamble at a certain casino?

If we choose to stick with a casino long-term, maybe trying the bonuses could be worth it. Though it’s not everyone’s interest, offering a variety of bonuses makes the casino appear more legitimate as they compete with the trends. Honestly, are there even casinos nowadays that don’t offer a sign-up bonus?

Actually, if the casino encourages players to fulfill KYC, it is a good thing, because the purpose of KYC is for security and also for their comfort when gambling, I do not mind fulfilling the KYC requirements submitted by the casino, even without a bonus. In fact, I think when we register at a new casino we can find a casino that provides bonuses that we can take without first verifying KYC and I think there are quite a few casinos like this, but when we are going to withdraw big wins, we are required to fulfill KYC.

For bonuses or free spins, most casinos will definitely do it, because it is clear that the goal is to attract more people to be interested in their casino because the more customers, the more benefits they get.

This is very true, I personally say something, when a person enters a casino they should study the possibilities of Winning if they take one of those Bonuses , I do not Deny it, when I entered before what I did most was take Advantage of those bonuses and I could not do Anything else because I lost and lost the bonus systems never benefited me, now what have you learned from this ? Not to take those bonuses , and that is what I like when they do contests on Social network X , it seems to me that a gift is a gift without requirements, in X I come across gifts like these in the casinos.

We cant be able to deny that when we are really that still noob then we do have these thoughts that we can be able to maximize profits or having advantage when we do take up these bonuses, but at the moment or time that you will really be able to make some realization on how it works then you will really be trying out to avoid it on next time and you will definitely be not wanting to have these on your next gambling session

Welcome bonuses or deposit ones do really looks attractive and if you arent that careful then you will really be having this kind of excitement on getting it out on first time. The bigger the capital you have the better chances of winning and making some huge winning amount on which this is primary thats inside of your head, until that reality would slap into your face.  ;D ;D

The discussion in this thread sounds like we’re assuming casinos provide bonuses just to trap gamblers, but the reality is that they’re usually very transparent about their bonuses. Even if we don’t initially suspect that there are terms attached to the bonuses before signing up, it’s still our responsibility to read and understand the terms before agreeing.

A reputable casino wouldn’t hide such information from its players, as doing so would be illegal and misleading to gamblers. So we should be fair here, I guess.

All the online casino that I know always offered welcome bonus like

1. Double your first time deposit
2. Get 100 FreeSpin

But all of them need some wager to claim and sometimes not all the casino just give you with easy wager task but they asked for 10X USD wager or something similar so yeah sometimes is not really worth it to chase to bonus especially the free spin because slot in my opinion have low winrate

You are already lucky to have x10 wager requirements since that’s already manageable to complete using low house edge games but in reality most of the casino has minimum x35 wagering requirements on their welcome bonus in addition to the max win, max bet and other shitty requirements for the purpose to stop you from completing the bonuses.

Typical casino gimmick about welcome bonus is they are offering generous rewards in exchange for hard requirements. The higher the rewards is the harder the requirements to clear the bonus.

So yeah, it’s not really worth it.

You're right, from the casino's point of view, that's the best marketing, it's one of the best things they come up with to attract customers and they are applauded, but also if they do such extraordinary things it's because their income will be Extraordinary , there's no doubt about that, what I can say is that these things can happen as the player has experience, for the first time you can Feel in glory, but when you want to withdraw money and have to see everything there is to do, that happiness decreases, and yes, that's where you learn.

10x is really just that too rare to see nowadays and if there's one then it will really be just that temporal because they will really be not that making it permanent because x10 is really just that possible for you to be able to get out if there are some bonuses that been offered on which we do know that it will really be usually having that x20-30 on which this is really that the standard. It will really be that not too common on seeing below these numbers because companies do know that they are really that on advantage if they are really that setting out these kind of thresholds. Newbies are the ones who do easily get hooked up with these kind of bonuses on which they do really believe into something that having that bigger capital does means that higher chance of winning.

On the moment that they will really be able to experiencing these conditions about not to be able to withdraw because they havent been able to reach up the wagering requirement and  this is the time that they will really be having that realizations that it was never been that easy or something attainable on a short time period. So at the moment that they will be having those experiences then this is the moment or time that they will really be having this kind of knowledge on next time encounter that they will really be that making into. It will really be that just that too common that newbies do really get involved on this one and not into those people who do have past experiences.

Reading the terms attached to it is very important whenever you avail bonus or rewards as they have conditions to be met before you can withdraw whatever winnings you will acquire from availing such perks. Casinos will always offer tempting rewards, but every player should be cautious as they will encounter some conditions that may be difficult to comply such as wagering requirements.

KYC is now a normal something in casinos now. These days, only a few don't take it very seriously from the start, but the majority of them now ask for KYC before you will be able to use some features, or even after you have made a deposit, you will need to clear up to a little level of that KYC, either pass tier 1-2 or just 1. Whichever way, you must do one. For bonuses, now they have made it a form of dragging and attracting members to pass the KYC on time even when they don't plan to do it on time.

In every casino, it's always boldly stated that in all, the promotional campaigns, bonuses, tips and free spins/slots are always under some laws -- the terms and conditions. You don't expect to get everything delivered into your hands like a child that stay in a foster home. I think for the most part, the deposit has alot to do with whether or not you'll be eligible for a bonus/ a free spin.

For most reputable casinos, the bonuses and odds are legit just like what you see on their introduction page.. while I haven't had any experience of getting lured into making deposits only to get nothing as promised, I strongly believe that most unpopular casinos are doing this.
I see a couple of people saying these casinos sometimes set this standards to enforce the KYCs - wack.

Yeah the 10x wagering requirement is easier but I see some casinos suggesting with 35x wagered this is too hard to reach and I think this is just a sweetener to get newcomers interested in this welcome bonus.

Even I myself don't look at new casinos by looking at the welcome, because for me this is quite difficult to achieve or win it's better to look at other promos than the welcome bonus.

Always read up on what are the terms so that you wont really be ending up on having shock just because you have violated something. Its important that you do really know on what are those terms but actually its really that standard that there would be those terms because they cant just give out those bonuses without strings attached. There are really just those who do missed out on reading those terms and thats why on the moment that they dont know those things then this is where they will really be making up some complaints but actually they are the ones who are really that at fault which it is really that common mistake by most people.

Well, if you are an experienced gambler, you will know already that it is not that simple. But for beginners, it might seem easy. Why? Because their minds are just focused on the bonuses and rewards, not on the requirements needed to claim them. This is often why many people still fall for these schemes, forgetting that not everything is as easy or achievable as it seems. 
That is why we need to think things through carefully to avoid regrets in the end. Taking shortcuts or ignoring them can cost more than just time; it can also lead to unnecessary losses.

Indeed, for beginners, they usually only focus on profit, whether it's a bonus, prize or win. Beginners usually don't care about other things, such as the funds they spend that have previously been spent a lot will not be something that makes them stop gambling because they want bigger profits, sometimes they even think silly things like the previous losses will be returned later when the time comes with the big win that will be obtained.

The mindset from the beginning will determine their fate in the future, for those who may only think about profit, they will most likely experience something that is not beneficial to themselves.

I did not even know that there could be any casino that will reward players with bonus if they complete KYC because regulated casinos already made KYC options compulsory and don't have to offer bonus for KYC because users will definitely perform the KYC. I know that bonuses is usually an approach by the casino to attract more customers.

It would be that as some gamblers doesn't care about KYC when they sign up in a casino at the first time, then the betting company have decided to create a new pattern that will make new gamblers verify their KYC ASAP after signing up. However, However, there are people who don't care about their documents because they believed that they are clean and the places were dey lined their identities/documents is safe, those kind of person will probably come these this casino and verify their KYC then receive the bonus before they make a deposit.

That is why beginners must know and read about the requirements so they can think if they can get the bonuses and fills the requirements. They can not just try to take the bonuses without reading the requirements because they will think that is a trick to the members so they can not get their money.

Yes, many people already fall for these schemes and that is because they don't read the requirements. If they always read the requirements, they will not just take the bonuses without reading.

Actually, only few casino requires KYC during registration while established and reputable casino is just making KYC mandatory for all existing members which means newly registered member can still play without KYC first.

Established casino can’t forced KYC that’s why they are using lucrative bonuses especially to their high roller just to attract them to KYC and stay on the casino.

Yes, despite that KYC is required in those reputable casinos, I know that many of them doesn't just request it immediately or even offer bonus to make the player complete their KYC. They usually say that, "they have the right to demand for KYC at any time. " So, it's obvious that a casino which offers bonus so customers can do their KYC is only looking to trap customers.

Yes, as far as I know and have seen, most casino platforms do not require KYC during registration. In the few casino platforms that I have registered with, I did not have to do any KYC there and I was able to bet there without KYC. Some well-known and  casino platforms may require KYC. However, the KYC bonuses that are given to all casino platforms to do KYC and attract customers are used to attract customers of the casino platform. Customers are interested in getting various benefits, if they get such benefits, it is a very attractive bonus for customers.

The discussion has been brought too far away now, OP is focusing on welcome bonus and not even talking about KYC so I dont think we need to discuss about KYC in this topic although in general casino welcome bonus may lead to KYC.
Lets back to the main topic about welcome bonus, is there any other great welcome bonus from casino as what is mentioned by OP which come without wagering requirement?
To be more specific, the welcome bonus is in a form of Free Spins because I doubt there is welcome bonus in a form of 100-200% bonus which come without wagering requirement as I have never found it before.

There are many differences between an experienced gambler and a new gambler. An experienced gambler knows when to start gambling and when to stop. I think more important than gambling is when to stop. If a gambler doesn't stop at the right time, he can instantly lose all the money he has earned in his gambling career.

A newbie gambler usually cannot think so deeply that when some bonus is given to him by the casino site he thinks the bonus is important and starts gambling with that bonus initially. But the new gambler does not know that his gambling career has started with this bonus and from here he will move forward in gambling.

Very important that you know and understand what's behind the bonus especially welcome bonus as like what you mentioned reading the terms and condition will gives you idea if you'll going to take it or not, as before you can really enjoy it and withdraw that amount, you need to wager and reach the target value, though it's not impossible but you need to have decent amount of patience for you to achieve and manage to collect the prize.

People like when they get free money, so when casinos advertise things like a 100% matched first deposit bonus up to $500 the implications is that someone is going to get $500 for free. These are just the beginning of the psychological tricks that they try to play on you. Casinos offer the highest amounts because they often have 50x play through requirements and all their slot games will be engineered to take back the majority of the bonus, so you'd be lucky to walk away with $20 by the end of it. The amount of time you have to commit in order to unlock it will also start forming a habit and addiction to the games, so they're hoping you enjoy it, so you'll sink much more money into them in the long run.

That is why we must be really aware of these tricks. Well, we are in this forum, so we can discuss this and help other people know what's really happening. Casinos are smart, making it sound like free money, but the truth is that they just trap you into playthrough requirements that make it nearly impossible to come out ahead.

This is the type of communities that should be sharing their experiences and trying to caution others, particularly those that would not see this trick, so that less and fewer people fall into this trap, ending up losing much more than they bargained for.

Well, personally I used to like the welcome bonuses with fewer strings attached like : with no excessive wagering requirements or imaginary multipliers to unlockthem. Free spins for me were especially cool if you could actually withdraw the profits without hurdles. 

However, I eventually realized that most or many of these promotions are designed to push gamblers in and keep them spending. What looks like an incredible deal at first often comes with hidden terms like the estrictive wagering requirements or limits on how and where you can use the bonus. It's true, i find some casinos hype their promotions to build excitement but the reality rarely matches the promise. 

I’ve been there and tempted by such offers, only to feel let down when they didn’t deliver my winnings. As someone recovering from gambling addiction, I now see these promotions for what they are, hooks to keep you engaged and depositing more. If you enjoy a specific slot like Sweet Bonanza, always read the terms of their fee spins bonuses closely to see if the promo is easy complete. But remember always the real win is knowing when to step away. For me, that decision changed everything.

I think welcome bonuses are nothing new in the world of online gambling, they use various ways to make it look much more attractive in the eyes of gamblers, especially those who are new, I think we are on the same page in this case that the purpose of the casino providing the bonus is to attract new gamblers and also make old gamblers feel more at home there (if indeed old users also get it). But one thing we must always remember is that it is nothing more than a regular bonus that is provided to be played and usually cannot be cashed out immediately, and also from my experience there are usually certain requirements for making a withdrawal when you succeed in winning with the bonus balance and usually it is a very difficult requirement to meet, so especially for me I usually use the bonus to gamble aggressively because after all the casino is the one that facilitates the capital, the point is regardless of whether you gamble with your own money or money from the bonus, the point is never to put excessive expectations on winning, that's all.

Welcome bonuses and other bonuses will really be always that standard and casinos or platforms will really be that definitely be trying out to hook up specially newbie gamblers on which we know that they are really that highly reactive on seeing good things specially on bigger bonuses on which due to lack of knowledge and experience then they will be that easily that dealing up with these things because due to lack of information about terms and conditions then they will be assuming that it is really that an advantage for them but on the moment that real things happen then this is where they do make out realizations that it was really just that a trap for them to get locked up with their deposits because usually people do end up on losing because they cant able to get out because of those wagering requirements.

Bonuses are really that common because this is the thing that hooks up people to play because of additional add ups of their capital on where they are seeing this to be a good thing on their gambling activity but actually this is really a great disadvantage due on that common reason.

Some casinos do have welcoming bonuses in the form of "Free Bets" or a "Boost Deposit" type, besides the classic "Free Spins" type.  But all of them and from any casino that they came, have a wagering requirement. I never saw a welcoming bonus in any form without wagering requirement(s) and I'm pretty sure (and confident) that I never will in my entire life.

If you played in a casino offering bonuses without any TOS attached, it’s most likely a scam, or at the very least, the casino won’t last long. Bonuses always come with terms, as that’s a basic standard in the casino industry. If we’re gambling and don’t take the time to read the terms before signing up, we risk misleading ourselves. This could lead to complaints later when we try to cash out, only to find that our withdrawal didn’t go through.

Usually it is done by a new casino that applies KYC on their platform or a new casino, such a thing is done so that many gamblers do KYC, therefore they provoke it in a way like getting a bonus, but it is rarely I also just forget what casinos are holding them , I remember it maybe last year I read this.

Yes, most bonuses are applied to attract more customers and all casinos do that to attract their customers, it is the most effective way of marketing working to add users.

A casino that runs a giveaway and doesn't end up being what it's meant to be will end up placing their customers in a confusing mood, and it's wrong not to put the interest of customers first. Of course it's for marketing but using a false technique to attract users won't help the growth of the casino on the long run.

However, I'd prefer a gaming platform that's truthful with their offers than one that deceives players for the sake of garnering users and money. Those actions only puts the progress of such new casinos down the toilet, as gamblers won't stand an online gaming platform that's not straight forward with their bonus program.

From what I read I don’t think this casino that’s giving bonuses to their users for completing a certain level of KYC is doing anything shady. The ones I despise the most are those ones that give out bonuses and then add some tasks that they know the user won’t be able to complete and if statistics record is taken out of 100% of users that got that bonus only 5% would be able to complete the tasks meanwhile the rest will get nothing - those are the type I hate, when I come across such I don’t even bother to accept it because in the end I’ll only just be wasting my time.

Very true and in fact it is very common for this type of thing to happen, there are always many players who fall into these traps, I really do not understand if they play in casinos that do not have any kind of reputation, nor any kind of children in bitcointalk, why do they play there? Why do they deposit in unsafe sites? I understand that a newbie does it, because these types of things always happen, but I believe and consider that it is always good after this type of thing happens to learn, and not let it happen again, for players who have had this happen to them , it is always good that they come to the forum so they can learn.

Totally waste of time and also it do really sucks because you will be finding yourself getting locked up because you cant be able to comply or complete on those threshold or whats been needed for you to be able to withdraw. I do even believe that out of 100% then 2-3% are the only ones who do able to get out and make up some withdrawal and the rest are really that losing up their entire deposit + bonuses (on which the platform adding up)..

On the time that you do able to experience about these bonuses terms and no matter how big or good it is looking but since you do have that experience on what it is then you will be losing up interest on getting it or on the time that being offered. Usually newbies are the ones who do easily get hooked up with these things because they do usually be able to see up these things to be that good looking and believing that they do have that advantage. So it will really be that up to you because there are gamblers that despite of being old they do still want or love on trying out to get those bonuses to have that maximize their entertainment time on which this one isnt bad.

You are right but some people doesn't find it necessary to read terms and policy because they find it to be so long and bulky. I just feel that people should not chose casino for that welcome bonus but rather choose a reputable casino that has every games they need because even casino that give bonuses have some requirements to enable those bonus just like you said.

Casino bonuses ToS is short and in separate page to the general ToS of the casino.Usually it just contain the wagering requirements, max win & max bet allowed during bonus is active.

It’s a must to read the bonus ToS even how lazy you are because you will have a hard time completing the bonuses if you don’t follow the ToS because sometimes there’s only an eligible games that counts wager towards the bonus.

In the end, we should read the bonus ToS first before we even consider deposits.

Bad habits of gamblers are indeed very often not reading ToS, both for bonuses and conditions for using the casino platform.
The existence of a large bonus promo from the initial deposit or welcome bonus sometimes makes gamblers forget to read all the terms and conditions for claiming the bonus. And some of the gamblers who failed to claim the bonus considered the casino to be committing fraud with the advertised promo.

I forgot, but it seems like there was a case like that here written by a new user on the accusation board or official thread from the casino. Even though the gambler himself did not read and did not meet the requirements to be able to claim the bonus.

Some people are lazy to take the time to read the Tos I think that is something that often happens because they only focus on gambling so they often ignore this, with bonuses provided by casinos I think this tends to be definitely noticed by every player because of course bonuses are things that players want so most likely they will take the time to listen to the rules to get this bonus.
It's really shameless if there are gamblers who claim that a casino is cheating when they don't manage to get a bonus when in reality it's because they themselves don't meet the requirements that have been set, even though this happens online but if this happens to me then I'm embarrassed anyway, therefore I never take bonuses that casinos provide because I gamble with the capital I have because I am reluctant to complicate with the requirements to get the bonus.

Usually people will not read the terms and condition and will only register and start deposit their money. That is a mistake because they don't know if that is the casino they looking for but they only choose a random casino. Behind of welcome bonuses will have requirement so they must make sure to understand with the rules so they can withdraw their money if they win. It needs awareness from gamblers to always be careful selecting the casino so they can enjoy their gambling time.

It is not strange that they have problems with the gambling they do if they are not careful in doing something like registering at a new casino, although each casino can be said to have almost the same rules but I think in terms of bonuses they have different requirements. With casinos that give bonuses to newcomers, of course they will not give it for free, there are requirements that must be done as usual, namely the minimum deposit amount is greater than usual.
Maybe for people who like to seek profit will look for bonuses at new casinos and continue like this, but for people who prefer not to take this bonus they don't seem to care even though the casino offers a fairly large bonus. After all, we ourselves can also determine whether to take it or ignore it.

I don't know about you, but I believe I have reached a time when I don't longer feel attracted by the inclusion of welcome bonuses when comes to new small casinos which try to make a name for themselves within the industry, most of the cases end up in frustration because either I decide to skip the terms and conditions of those bonuses and when I take the time to read them I realize there are so many restrictions on which games and providers I am allowed to take advantage of them and the required wager before I even become elegible to withdraw my earnings, all of it simply turns me off.
it is better just to stick to seasonal bonuses and big event bonuses which are likely already based on our accumulated wager and does not require us to further deposit more money to enjoy them. they are not ideal either since they need to have some terms and conditions to avoid abuse from ill-intentioned gamblers, but still, there are better than welcome bonuses on shady casinos.

Well that's true, usually it's like that, or what I mean is that many gamblers, especially beginners who don't have a lot of flying hours in the world of gambling, are careless in choosing a casino for them to play, and for the bonus problem, they usually get the information from other people or get it themselves accidentally when choosing a casino randomly and then feel very happy because the balance in their account increases after the deposit process is complete.
That's a common feeling that every gambler will definitely feel, but the problem is that they often don't investigate whether there are certain requirements or not when they take advantage of the bonus.

From my experience, usually when you claim a bonus, it means that you have agreed to the terms and conditions given by the casino, usually the casino will provide requirements such as TO, or what I mean is that gamblers will only be able to make a withdrawal when their balance has reached xxx and when it turns out that you can't reach the amount that is the requirement, then usually you won't be able to make a withdrawal even though the balance you have at that time is 2x the capital you brought. So the conclusion is to get used to reading first before acting.

Of course casinos will make demands and have requirements, otherwise people would simply withdraw such welcome bonuses and the casino would receive nothing. The welcome bonus is given to attract a new client. And for a person to become a client, he must gamble. And the welcome bonus attracts him to the game. So such bonuses should be considered primarily as an advantage for the casino, and not for the player, even though it seems like this.

Many gamblers chooses to use a particular casino because of so many reasons which is why going through terms and conditions of a casino could looks very stressful. Most time because of our rush to get some benefits just like promised by by casinos, we tend to create accounts as fast as possible not considering the terms of the casino especially which applies to the benefits we are intending to get. We want to make money from gambling and most time we still don't get to make that money because we are always curious to make fast money without scrutinizing and planning how we want to achieve the goal of being successful as gamblers.

I think there are still those who try to cheat the system and the casino. They create many accounts in order to use these bonuses. But on the other hand, the casino offers rakeback to support one player who plays for a large volume. However, the casino learns to track such players and probably does not give bonuses to everyone in the end. Or they come up with big wagers so that new players can win it back. However, the casino wants new and real players to register, because even if he loses little, the player can come back to lose a lot next time.

Sometimes it's not a good idea, cheating the system doesn't make sense 'cause platform can track this and just ban you for abusing it. Monitoring the ip address, same patterns, and stuffs to determine it's the same user, is just very common nowadays so it's up to you if you'll risk it for the bonuses. Besides some platform does have minimum withdraw, means you can't really withdraw the money you'll farm through many accounts and there are huge benefits for VIPs if you've played a lot using the same account. The sole purpose of those bonuses is just to attract new gamblers and those won't give them jackpot, it's already programmed and will just take advantage of the players.

Most of the time's those that fall into such traps are the greedy ones who don't want to make deposits into casinos but want to claim bonuses, this is why those scammers can easily attract them with high bonuses, and at The end trap them into making deposits and so on,, most of them also are newbies who lack the basic knowledge of how scammer operates in the gambling sector and any site that offers high bonuses will most likely have a bad TOS that could make it almost impossible for the players to get anything out of the sites, and so long you make deposits it's gone also.

Is very important to take extra effort into researching the reputation of a casino before you make deposits on them, because failure to do so will result into you likely falling into scammers trap such as the ones we mentioned already.

What kind of task are you talking about? Did you mean the Ts&Cs that must be met before the gambler can withdraw the bonus and the profits? If that is the case, then it's peculiar to all bonuses, you will hardly see a casino giving you free money like a giveaway without some wagering requirements. Nevertheless, you are right about the KYC bonuses, I see nothing wrong in that and neither do I sense an ulterior motive but generosity. It's also left to the customer to accept or decline it.

They are running up a business and pretty sure that they had already studied up on what are those possible exploits on which these bonuses could really be abused. It is really that unlikely to have some issues in regarding into this one because at the moment that they do launched up their platform then they had tested it out with exploits that holes in terms of security towards the site, which simply means that it is already that ready when it comes into this aspect on which its unlikely for it to happen. Somehow when we do speak or talk about security then there's no such thing about perfect but it could really be that nearly be that zero chance of abuse. If ever they would be seeing some inconsistences of someones betting or gambling then they will really be able to spot it out. In speaking about abuses literally in terms of having that multi accounts and other correlated things then this can be easily caught out. Also, when it comes to terms and conditions then this is something that gamblers should really be that wary into because on the moment or time that you do deal up with these bonuses then these are really just that good for expanding out your gambling sessions and not something that gives out that more odds or chance for you to win up. Peoples mindset are mainly the issues on this one.

Yes, you are right. We must be careful and always read the terms of bonuses if we don't want to get a problem. We cannot just take the bonuses and start gambling before we read the terms. Many people already fall into that and makes them difficult to withdraw their money when they win. The welcome bonuses will always attract many people to try to get it but many of them don't realize the terms and complain to casino after they know it.

Those people to familiarize themselves in the casino before they register and make sure that they are understand the do and the don't before deciding. We can decide to continue registering ourselves in that casino after we know their rules.

The problem is on the beginner because they don't have much experience in gambling. They just try to takes the welcome bonuses without trying to understand the rules. That will makes them confuse when they face the difficulty and will easily say the casino is a scam but the real mistake will be on them. Yes, that is a common thing that happened to many gamblers so we must avoids that by reading the rules before we register.

But if you don't want to get the welcome bonuses or other bonuses, you can register and deposit the minimum amount so you can start playing gambling without think about the bonuses. That may safe for you because you don't have to confuse about the rules. But you still need to understand that when you wins the money, you need to know how much money you should wager before you can withdraw it. The important things is you can make sure you understand the casino rules before you decides.

Of course I haven't even tried and won't do such things, but I just assumed that other players might do it. I prefer to play relaxed and gambling for me is a way to spend time easily watching my favorite matches, so I use bets for relaxation, and not to try to get incredibly rich, like many players. I'm not even a VIP, because I don't bet too much. I'm sure that thanks to these welcome bonuses, the casino attracts many players, so these bonuses pay for themselves several times, you just have to wait and the player will bring more money to win back.

Yes, it's your decision to make if you want to take that casino bonus and wager the amount that you need to complete before getting the chance of withdrawing the money, as long as you read the terms and condition you'll not going to be lost if how you'll be able to enjoy that such amount.

Though like what we mostly read, it's the person who participate that didn't read the terms and condition that have an issue as they don't have any idea about the wagering requirements or whatever the casino's asking to fulfill before you can enjoy their offer.

Right, the point is to pay attention, read and ask yourself whether or not you are able to meet the requirements, actually it should not cause a problem if from the start you already know what you are facing and this applies to everything we are doing, so most likely you will not regret anything that will happen because from the start you already know about the possibility.

The only thing that is likely to cause a problem is yes when we do not read and do not know at all whether there are such regulations or not, so actually the ones to blame here are of course the gamblers themselves, they are too careless and too quick in making decisions without first finding out about the reasons why the casino provides bonuses and what requirements must be met by gamblers when they want to claim the bonus.

Good behavior my friend because that is how we should respond to gambling because by doing so we mean we have good self-control which prevents us from unwanted things such as addiction and also big losses. Many people gamble with the opposite assumption that they often experience bigger losses and the funny thing is sometimes they don't care about that and continue to gamble.

It is also certain in my opinion that casinos that provide welcome bonuses to new visitors can attract many people, moreover there will be word of mouth that can happen when one person gets this bonus and maybe he recommends the casino to other friends, this is an advantage that they indirectly market themselves.

Incidentally, I myself am not the type of person who likes to take bonuses that casinos give or promotions that casinos offer because I know that they have their own rules and for me it only makes the gambling that I do uncomfortable so I often ignore it. Well, for people who do like to claim bonuses or promotions that casinos offer, they must be able to take the time to listen to the rules to fulfill them, because usually there will be new rules when we respond to bonuses or promotions that were previously offered.

We can indeed read the rules that the casino applies before registering at the casino, and actually it is better like that by being able to read it in detail and then if we agree, we can register, but this applies to general rules only, because for bonus or promotion rules I don't think we can see them before we register.

People who think otherwise sometimes they don't care about the losses they experience and I think this is because their mindset is indeed wrong from the start, such as thinking that they can definitely win, this encourages them to continue gambling confidently that they will be able to win and ignore the risk of losing which will actually be more dominant than winning. It's true what you said, a casino that provides bonuses for new visitors certainly opens up opportunities to promote the casino by word of mouth, besides that I think there will be more people looking for a casino like this than a casino that doesn't give bonuses to its new visitors, maybe there are people who don't look for a casino like this, it's just that the scale is smaller.

That is good because if we don't care too much with the bonus will not have a problem to fills the requirements. We just enjoy our gambling time while we know when we must stop gambling. We have our own rules in gambling and we will always stick to that to avoids the gambling addiction or other problems. If they want to claim bonuses, they must make sure that they can fills the requirements without difficult so they can withdraw the money when they win.

Every promotion that the casino launch will have different requirements and rules so we must obey that if we want to participate. Some promotions will have a difficult to fills the requirements so we must avoids that.

There will always be those who want to cheat the casino. But this is becoming increasingly difficult, because the mechanisms for tracking the actions of users are improving. And most importantly, the casino can afford to use such mechanisms because they have the finances for this. But the user trying to cheat the system usually does not have a sufficiently effective toolkit for this. Yes, he will create several accounts. But to receive a bonus, in most cases, he will have to play with his real money. And usually for such users, such a requirement becomes a stumbling block.

It's fine by me for casinos to define their conditions but I don't see it as sane in some cases where the condition required to withdraw the bonus will be almost an impossible mission, to the point that it will also disturb the easy use and withdrawal of your own deposited money. It never started like this, it only grew worse when more casinos came on board with too high bonuses that are attached to such conditions and they realised people were opting for them, so it later became a norm.

In all, it's the business tactics of casinos to give bonuses and it's our choice to sign up for it.

Yes, but the reading must be very thorough and must be in great detail since among the rules there may be one or two words that depending on the interpretation of one as a player can be good or bad, and it is only because of these interpretations that misunderstandings arise, especially with bonuses, that is something that I personally never take, because as I have stated before, for me bonuses are rules, in casinos the word bonuses is something else, it is a definition of something very different from what I have as a basis.

Many of these casino bonuses have their own rules which can be very strict depending on the casino involved. There are some casino bonus rewards that will allow you to use the bonus to play any bet while others can be very frustrating making you limited to some certain games. I don't depend on casino bonus because I know it is a gift to attract me to keep gambling on the casino. I prefer using my money for bet on any games that I like and if I lose, I will take the losses in peace than trying to hard to use casino games that will not even be profitable for me in a long run. Everyone knows what works for them.

Casino promotions, especially those offering generous bonuses and free spins, are designed to attract new players and keep them excited, but the terms and conditions associated with these promotions can be complex and often biased in the casino’s favour. As you’ve probably discovered, bonuses can come with specific wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, or game restrictions, so it’s crucial that you always read the terms and conditions of any promotion carefully before accepting them, as they often have restrictions on specific games, minimum bet amounts, or time limits for claiming the bonuses… similarly, free spins can have hidden conditions that affect their true value.

Before signing up for any promotion, you should research and compare different casinos and their offers, and casino review sites and forums (like this one) can provide valuable insights from other players. So resist the initial temptation and do your research before you go for it, only to realise later that it wasn’t all you thought it was.

Yeah, there are times that you stress yourself mistakenly take the bonus and tie you up to wager certain amount instead of enjoying your game and then quit away whenever you want, but when accepting the bonus without reading the rules you ended up frustrating yourself since instead of taking out what's already yours you are obliged to complete the requirements and chances to lose is not by far, better to keep it as it is when playing and you are free to go whenever you wanted to complete your sessions.

These things were really meant for attracting players on which it do includes newbies into this one. If you dont have experiences in bonuses and its terms then you will definitely be looking up these things to be interesting as these will really be having that huge add up into your capital on which its something that good to see that your balance is way too big than on what you had deposited on which this do really give out that kind of emotional boost up and interest and thats why people do get easily hooked up. Just like on what everyone is really that saying on here that on the moment or time that you had that experience on about into its terms and conditions, then you will be finding yourself that look like a fool that you do find these things interesting in the past. It all matters about experiences on which this is something that verry normal that we do go past through with these things specially in our first time in our lives on dealing up with gambling. Casinos will really be normally offering these things because they do know that they can hook up people with this and they will really be that making it attractive as possible because they do really know that theres always those who do get find for these things to be interesting. This is why at the time that you do deal up with gambling and sees out their terms to be suck then you will definitely be avoiding these stuffs again in the future. So it will really be that up to you on this case.

The casinos normally used those bonuses as strategy to draw people's attention. then after you got registered in the casino you would find out that the bonus are only for some options not all the options in the casino and which is very wrong. At least as a casino that is offering bonus to their customers it would have been better to do it in such away that you can use it in any options that you want to Play in the casino, so that it will enable the customers to feel free and bet any options that they want. Although as a gambler before engaging in any casino that offer bonuses to customer is actually right to go through the rules and regulations of the casino before you register.

When they feel stress, they should know how to cure it and it is better they don't playing gambling because that can make the more stresses because of losing their money. Casino welcome bonus will be available for new members but for the old members, they will get more promotions from the casino. But all members must read about the requirements and obliged to complete the requirements if they want to withdraw their money. When they think that is too hard to fills, they don't have to take the welcome bonus instead deposit enough money to start playing gambling.

I may not be into Casino game but I do actually understand what you are saying because I have seen such before in some Casino site I was trying to sign up, they will show you bonuses, free spin, discount if you deposit some amount of money etc but sometimes it's actually like that but it will be very complex I mean very tasking in such a way that you be tired of it and they intentional did or program it that way while there are some that is very easy and straight forward. However, I just see this things as a means of luring people into their site, when you deposit that bonus they said they will give, you can't withdraw unless you played for some number of time before you can withdraw if at all you will even win.

I believe that too complicated requirements for bonus withdrawal do not attract, but rather repel clients. After all, a new player can register, motivated by a bonus. Play a couple of games and want to withdraw the profit. If the casino allows him to do this, he remains satisfied, and then there is a greater chance that he will return there to play again. But if it is difficult to withdraw the bonus, if it requires a billion actions and a bunch of bets, then most people will simply spit and close the site.

Yes, that is what is advised, but mainly things are different with this, when you get into the casino and when you are a novice, everything is joy, it is passion, it is synonymous with winning a lot of money, but it is not like that, when they come across reality is when they conclude that they should have read before getting fully involved with that promotion, when they realize that they have screwed up big time is when they try to solve and try to recover the money that was spent or that they lost in the game, this is something that human beings always make, the error is constant.

So far I have not come across any casino that allowed customers to withdraw the bonus money in that account after opening the account.  
Basically casino establishments use this strategy only to attract gamblers to gambling. When a new gambler opens an account in a casino and if the casino doesn't give the gambler a welcome bonus then that person will not be very interested in gambling but when he is given some amount of money he will think that since he is getting free money. So there is no problem even if you lose by gambling with this money. This is how they will start their gambling journey and when this welcome bonus runs out they will research money to gamble. That way he will continue to spend money gambling on that casino site and the company will continue to make a profit from him.

You're somewhat right about how some annoying bonus conditions could discourage gamblers, they discourage me as well. But you also need to know that it's only a few of us and it doesn't stop the initial attraction even in those later discouraged. I wonder how such a bonus condition will affect those who are basically gambling for fun, they will even appreciate it as they need more amounts to wager and have fun. Many people who gamble for money also look past the condition and focus on how to fulfil it and wager bigger to win bigger. If welcome bonuses and others aren't working in attracting new customers and keeping the old ones, they will not be as popular as they are.

Wow, what can I say? There are so many scammers in this area now that without proper study of the information you can easily run into "bad" sites. This happened to me once. I was taken in by the fact that a new casino was giving out decent bonuses. And what happened in the end? Yes, they forced me to make a deposit so that I could withdraw money. No such luck... Even after such an action, my money remained frozen in the account without the possibility of receiving it. After some time, the casino simply scammed and goodbye once and for all. This happens quite often. Indeed, it is imperative to carefully study the information about the casino.

a motivated person will know no bounds if he has to do a million things just to get what he wants he can do it if it means that he will get whatever it is he wants by the end of it a casino platform will make these bonuses sometimes close to impossible and anyone to adhere to their requirement just to receive the bonus just seem foolish but the key word here is close to impossible because even though it requires a lot sometimes to get the bonus it is still very much possible and doable if someone were to ever want to do it which is why people still get tricked and do whatever the casinos want for the sake of the bonuses

Yeah if you'll veiw it from that point those who are only playing to have some fun they might find it as decent offer since they can extend their stay using the bonus and while they are enjoying they also wagering the amount, if luck permits them they might be able to complete the requirements and manage to withdraw, both will be filled they enjoy the game while having that chance to earn after playing, though those who are not aware about the wagering requirement surely they'll be annoyed after realizing what's behind those offers, instead of early quitting they need to complete the wagering requirements before they can take their money out from the casino.

In all my experience of gambling I don't think I have experience any bonus offer that is straight up withdrawable without any wager requirements, I think the best so far that I have seen is even the casino that offers free spin which doesn't require any wager for the wins you gt from the spins and even for that it's just one casino I have seen which is a telegram based casino if not every other bonus offers are made just to lure gamblers to make excessive gambling.

You're actually correct, that's the only reason they would do that.In course if advertising and ensuring that it entices young and intended gamblers to enjoy every piece of what they'll want to dish out.Its quite obvious that this is one of the strategies used by casinos gambling to promote,introduce and gets more users to their gaming network.

I would agree, and let us be clear that these things are made to make us spend more money as we spend more time to them as well. If the casino are willing with these bonuses, the requirements wouldn’t be so difficult to complete but the reality is the opposite, which is why I ignore those bonuses.
Casinos offer these bonuses to benefit themselves, not the gamblers, to be honest. Some gamblers manage to meet the requirements and claim the reward, but then what happens next? I hope it’s worth it for them, but in my opinion, the expenses are usually huge than the rewards. That's why it is not a smart move for us gamblers.

Its impossible that casinos will really be having this kind of set up because they arent a charity but rather a business on which of course that if ever they will be giving out some bonuses then there's that accompanied wagering requirements with that on which this is a normal thing. The wrong thing about other gamblers mind is that they do believe that they do get those bonuses for free.. This is where people do usually beleive specially when they are still noob that they do get some nasty bonuses but come to think that it was really just that a trap for you not to be able to get out so easily. Once you do able to have that experience then you will definitely be able to realize on whats the bonuses is all about and on next time you will be that avoiding it because you do know that this is really just that some sort of trap.

If you are someone whose really that comes after for the fun then you will be getting these bonuses as we do have that much bigger bankroll because of it and this will be that resulting into longer duration kind of playing moments or session but if you do mind about getting up some direct withdrawal then you do need up to hit up that deposit wagering requirement before you can be able to make withdrawals on which of course this wont really be that easy because even x2 with your deposit without bonuses activated will really be that still hard.  So this one will really be that accordance into your preference in the end of the day.

Bonuses needs to fill wagering requirements but the wager will be vary for the every casino. If casino offers free spin, there should be a requirement that you must fill before you can withdraw your win. But if you lose, there is no obligation for fill anything because you lose your money especially if you lose all of the money. If you want to take the bonuses, you must check the requirements first so you understand what you need to do especially if you can win. The bonus and promotions tempts gambler to take but that will depends on because that will be our decision to take or leave it.

They remain popular because people sign up for the platforms because of them. Bonus codes attract new customers who create accounts hoping to get bonuses. However, they do not read the rules before registering and are faced with requirements for using the bonus code after registration. And many are put off by such requirements and do not continue gambling at this casino. However, they have already created an account, they have it. And I think that casinos are also interested in those who create accounts, even if they do not become regular players later.

If a player is not active on the casino, then there is no benefit for the casino also to keep them in their database (except if they want to send out sponsored emails or something). Welcome bonuses will always be interesting as people think it is free money which is not due to, as you mention, the wagering requirements.

For a casino, inactive players are of course much less valuable than players who regularly make deposits and play with them. However, a casino can use inactive users as statistics to demonstrate the total number of registered accounts. And the higher this figure, the more popular the casino can be presented in the eyes of investors, potential users and the company's board.

In my experience, the bonuses they give as welcome new members to their casino platform are also worthless to me. Because apart from not being able to withdraw it, you also can't take it seriously because it seems like you're just playing a demo game where you can win but you can't withdraw it to become real money.

I don't know, it seems like it just seems like you didn't receive a bonus, what happened was that the time you played at the casino only increased \
then in the end you still lost in your gambling.

The casino must have also taken this into account, how many people register and from that total how many are active and how many just register and then leave the casino. Not all of those who register will continue to be active, and vice versa, from all who register there must be some who are active.
Everything has been planned and it must be profitable for them, this is a form of promotion and in promotion not all can be successful, I mean there is a percentage that can bring users to become active customers.

Yes, that's right, there will be no benefit if they don't play or are not actively gambling, but usually the data will be used to send promotional messages and I think that's also one way because there may be users who were originally inactive in their casinos who become active users thanks to promotional messages.
Instant money that comes into the wallet from the welcome gift is undeniable that it will be an attraction, but with certain requirements to be able to withdraw it. Because if not, maybe it will be a place for users to cheat.

While scrolling through various videos on social media we come across many such videos where it is said that a gambler will be given this amount of bonus money if he makes his first account on this particular gambling site. And he can gamble with this bonus money and earn a lot of money from here and withdraw immediately. The videos are presented in such a way that a new person can easily believe them and start gambling. But when that new member gambles and loses multiple times and when he recharges more money and gambles more and loses more money, he actually realizes that he will only continue to lose money by gambling like this. 

We often understand many things but not in time and we understand those things when we make mistakes and when mistakes cause us a lot of damage. So if we are careful in advance then maybe these mistakes will not be made by us.

It's attracts people who thinks that it was a free money not knowing the grounds behind it, though there are gamblers who loves taking it as part of their entertainment, using it to extend their stay and if luck permits they'll be able to complete the wagering requirements and will managed to withdraw the balance, and then again, it's been used to get the attention of those possible gamblers to deposit their initial capital it's up to them if they'll use it or will just proceed and play without taking any promotional bonuses.

Bonuses usually have their high wagering requirements, hence, it is sometimes not worth availing it. If you will be tempted to avail one, make sure you have read their terms and conditions because as I have seen seen, most are mouth-watering offers up until you need to withdraw the winnings and found out the high wagering requirements attached to it. Or most of the time, you need to wager first your deposit for like 20x and more before you can use your deposit bonus. What I want to convey is that, every casino has their own way of offering such bonuses or rewards and it is the responsibility of the player to learn and agree with the conditions attached to it.

Of course, this is part of the promotion strategy and it definitely works, otherwise no one would do it. It is clear that both signature campaigns and bonus codes will not work for everyone. But there will still be a fairly large part of the audience that will follow the links, register and then become active users of a particular casino, or even several.

Indeed, it's your decision to make once you already read the terms and condition and you are good with it, though like what you have said each casinos have their own ways offering their welcome bonuses, and for sure they are not doing it as charity just attracting gamblers with a huge offers but a very difficult requirements before getting it.


For sure not jsut you but there are many of us here who at first thinks that it's good to take the shot forgetting about reading the TOS and regret participating.

A casino welcomes new gamblers often using bonuses and promotional offers especially when they sign up for the first time.Meanwhile That's a huge working strategy thats designed t attract and keep gamblers attracted to using the same feature all the time.

Only noobs will be having this kind of mentality or impressions on which at the moment that theyve seen those 100% deposit bonus or even more then they will be that entice into it and believing that they could be able to withdraw it directly but on the moment that they do tried out to make some withdrawal then they cant be able to do so just because of the terms and conditions. If ever they are wary of the wager requirement of the deposit but they arent aware of the roll over with those bonuses then this is where they would be having that huge disappointment and calling the site a scam because of that.  ;D
Welcome bonuses are traps or lets say in general that promotions are considered to be that making gamblers do lose in the end including their deposits and since they have set those rules that will be that an advantage to them so expect everyone will be that a loser not unless if you are extremely lucky then you might be able to get out but this is just for those lucky fellas out there.

Most of the centralized exchange also does the same thing of deposit bonus for the benefits of getting new customers as usual. The only user that can actually withdraw off their referral bonus are the celebrity or the ambassador of that company. It's kinda hard getting something good off your referral if you are a normal individual on your own.

The same thing goes to gambling sites, they are only doing that to attract as much customers they want to come play deposit and play o on their site.

You can't expect much from the bonus, but I have never been able to use all the bonuses I have received through referrals from many casino platforms. That day, I gave a friend a referral link to a casino platform and he created an account there, as a result of which I received dollars as a bonus, but I cannot use all those dollars. In the same way, many casino platforms, which give bonuses when you register, can never be used, and I don't know if all the rules given can ever be fulfilled, but for me, referral bonuses are a complete waste of time that only hurts people and gives nothing in return.

Welcome bonuses don't keep customers; they're meant to attract customers and make them taste the casino. It's their experience in the casino that will determine if they will continue playing there or if they will use another one, since welcome bonuses are mostly given just once after the first deposit. I don't consider it as something that can keep players to continue gambling there.

I do agree on what most people been saying that these bonuses are traps. It do just that looks good specially if it talks about welcome bonuses specially to those who are just that new into the platform.

For those newbies who do sees out these huge bonuses then they will be that usually be trapped on believing that they do have that advantage against the house or casino but actually its the opposite.
If you are someone who doesnt expect too much about making money then you can be able to enjoy your gambling experience since your deposit bonus do make out your balance even more bigger.
This is indeed the way that bonuses should be that treated into on which is to have more fun because you do have that much more longer gambling duration.

Any other bonuses or perks is that under some terms and conditions on which it will be that against the player in the end and thats why its just wrong that you do see yourself trying out to have that advantage against the house.

If we will consider how welcome bonus works including its requirements. I think it’s literally meant to keep player on playing because you will spend a lot of time and money just to complete this out of this word wagering requirements therefore you are stuck with the casino.  ;D

But seriously, Welcome bonus is dedicated only to make players entice to deposit and play since casino is confident that they will start converting users to become a loyal player once it taste an experience on the casino.

I kind of agree with your last statement; the reason for the bonus in the first place is to drag and convince people to come try out their own casino over that of competitors, and while using the bonus to lure them in, just like I stated above, the experience of that player will be what will determine if they will continue playing there or not.

If the new casino offers some good games and features which they are okay with, then the casino gets itself a new player, but if it's not, they will still lose the person immediately as the player either is tired of trying to meet the wager requirement or eventually hits it and withdraws everything.

Spot on, welcome bonuses are not of worth if the experience within the casino itself is lackluster and newcomers feel they have not only lost their money, but also their time. One can know whether a welcome bonus worked whether the newcomer continues to deposit in the same casino they started to explore not long ago, after they have depleted their welcome bonus.

Though, one also needs to be careful to where one is going to first deposit for the sake of a welcome bonus. It is possible those exaggerated bonuses are used by shady casinos and scam casinos in order to lure possible victims.

Welcome bonus may not guarantee to keep a customer to continuously use the casino after exhausting the bonus but it's actually a means used to retain customers because not all the customers that exit after using the bonus. But like you had said which I agree with too, the features and games found in the gambling platform does the rest of the retainment of the customer after the bonus has attracted them to the casino. So succinctly, the bonus does plays a secondary role while the platform services plays the primary role in locking down the customer to the platform.

During this winter I did a few casino bonus hunting with a friend only on Romanian websites just to kill the time and honestly it was fun but we didn't make any cashouts even if we played slots for more than 8 hours hahah which is insane because at some point you get tired and you really want to see something else or do something else.

When those bonuses ended , we closed our accounts and moved on but I must say we didn't deposit anything as it was just a welcoming bonus after you verify your accounts so nothing lost but nothing gained either.  ;D

I am actually surprised that casinos still give such bonuses where users can enjoy games without making any deposit and also win prizes. Although I have seen many events where users are allowed to participate for free but I have seen very few bonuses without any spending.
And I personally feel that there is less transparency in such promotional events and in that case only the casinos promote themselves. So I participate in such events very rarely. And besides, if on any time I intent to get the opportunity to play casino gambling without any deposit, I use the free coins of JacksClub, in which if you can multiply the highest, there is also a prize for you. However, even in this, I have lost in the end even after spending a lot of time. ::)

Most people will be baited into registering into a casino and playing their games because they saw an offer of great prizes and bonuses but once they are done playing they will realize how they weren't able to fully maximize the prize or bonus they were promised in the first place. Either way, the casino already got whatever they wanted which is to get more people to register and play. The question of whether they will keep playing is a different conversation but getting people to play at your casino is result of a successful promotion.

That's like spending 8 hours playing a slot game in a demo mode, I suppose there was nothing more important to do with that time so really not gonna judge 😁
For me though, the highest time I can remember ive spent playing slot game plus other varieties of games was 4 hours and this was in the night, i played with bonus I was given by the casino and in the process, I made some winnings, but i wasnt satisfied so I kept playing..

The long and short of it all is that I ended up losing both the capital I initially deposited which brought about the bonus, I also lost the bonus, and also lost the profit I made from the win, all of this I lost without even completing or reaching 30 percent of the wager requirements, I thought of depositing more funds to keep chasing but I was already very tired at that very moment, so I simply quit, by the next day, I had realized how much I lost in total wasn't happy about it, I didn't bother making any more deposit to that casino until the bonus expired.

You have mixed the referral bonus and the deposit bonus, and both are not the same thing; they are totally different. Withdrawal of referral bonus is not too hard as once it reaches to minimum amount of withdrawal, anyone can withdraw it, but the deposit bonus on gambling sites depends on several games and slots, and also there might be a wagering quota too.

Interesting, I assume when you me tion verification you mean email verification and not a Tually going through full KYC, otherwise I would not see it as appealing as a way to hunt for bonuses and see if one could get lucky with welcome bonuses on casinos from eastern Europe. Anyways, at least you and your friend had fun and did not have to deposit anything out their own pockets in order to perform such experiment and see if you were able to get some money out those casinos.

It is just another example that bonuses and their wagering requirements are carefully designed to serve as a way to attract new gamblers to casinos (which may be relatively small), but little chance to actually get a change to withdraw anything. There is thrill, that is for sure, but with less expectations on withdrawing, not the same as depositing your own money and just to meet the wagering requirement of the casino to discourage money laundering.

It is correct that gambling site offer welcome bonus to attract users to their site but that doesnt mean that we will create multiple acciunts on their site besides that we should create unique accoubt and refer friends and family. If we create multiple self account then that will not be helpful for them as a result they may lock all of oir account.

If a newcomer has previously read the wagering requirements of the welcome bonus and is satisfied with the terms, then yes, such a gambler will certainly continue to play. For the rest of the newcomers, the bonus can be a disappointment because many gambling platforms indicate the wagering requirements either in barely noticeable places on the site, or write about it in small print.

Definitely, this wagering requirements frequently hidden on the bonus ToS which is located on the smallest bottom part of the bonus page.

However, It’s not really bad even if there’s a high wagering requirements as long as the bonus can be forfeited half way and it can be used first as bankroll.

There’s some welcome bonus that is lock first which you can only use once you complete the wagering requirements.

Means that you came to this gambling industry a bit too late. I say like this because casinos used to give new players something called by "No Deposit Bonus", where players were given an amount of their account balance and they can use it to play the balance without making any deposit. The balance is locked of course until a specific wagering requirement is met. Once balance is unlocked, players are able to use it as they wish, whether to continue playing or withdraw it. However, this type of bonus is no longer being used by most casinos because there were too many abuses by greedy people who tried to make money for free from this type of bonus.

Aside from being caught and freeze all the account. I think it’s useless because casino welcome bonus often have a high wagering requirements which is extremely hard to complete.

You can add the max win on the bonus set by some casino as extra hurdle to avoid being abused the bonus by multiple account users.

Casino is prepared on worst case scenario.

Exactly, play reasonably, deposit reasonably, and don't target bonuses for us to use, it will become better options for us to stay playing with save. Because, if we are not a gambler with a lot of money, there's no reason in chasing these bonuses. We might feel this is unfair, but almost all bonus models come with "terms and conditions." If we feel can't meet the TnC, just let it go. Even if we are losing that bonuses, it's not a loss for us.

I don't know if there are any signs of a late arrival or from long before in the gambling industry here.
I know that no deposit bonuses exist in the gambling industry and how its works and as well to attract gamblers, but currently I can't find any casino that offers this type of bonus. I just see them in reviews and contests.
If you know of any such casino or if this offer is currently running, please suggest it to me. I last saw this type of no-deposit bonus offer a few years ago with easy wagering requirements.

Chasing a welcome bonus is like chasing a train that has already gone a long way because the wagering requirements are so high, usually more than 35x or 40x wagered.

So while playing the casino itself never chase bonuses because you already know it will be difficult to get even though the welcome bonus is tempting ... like the first deposit 100% - 200% and so on this is just a casino marketing trick so that they continue to play.

The bonuses aren't our money hence why should we be angry that we aren't participating in them. Bonuses are there as additional bonus to we the gamblers but when you're lucky, you'd don't need that bonus to win hence it isn't that important. There are some bonuses that are very good but that shouldn't make us want to cheat the casino because of the bonuses that they're offering. Anything we're doing, we should be aware that it won't stay hidden for ever and it takes one mistake for everything to be revealed. Don't cheat casino instead try to open accounts on different casino and gamble on multiple casino so that you can be getting the bonuses if that's what you're after.

What will determine if the people that were convinced to gamble in the casino will continue gambling there or not is based on the experience they get while they visit the casino. Even if it's not entirely possible to meet up with all the promised rewards, there is something that can still keep some of the players with that casino, and the few among all the new players will be able to get out with great rewards, and they will continue to gamble there and can still indirectly refer others to come.

If the experience of these gamblers are good and they received the rewards easily, they'll coming back to that casino.

But the others that have been trapped into these bonuses and rewards will continue to do and aim with it.

Well, I might be wrong in saying about them being trapped but that might be the case for them.

There is definitely a "sweet spot" for these offers, at least in my country, where the biggest casinos generally dangle around $50-100 in free bets as the standard in order to entice new customers. They usually have few strings attached and if you happen to win from those free bets you can cash out immediately. They don't usually come in the form of deposit matching, but have criteria like you will unlock free bets up to the value of your first bet or a minimum wager amount. I view deposit matching bonuses with great suspicious, because they usually have onerous wagering requirements in order to unlock and are simply used to fool gamblers who don't already know better.

In other words, only dumb who will create multiple accounts in order to chase welcome bonus because it will just like a wasting time and money for the players who try to chase welcome bonus which come with big wagering requirement.
Welcome bonus is in my opinion targetting new gamblers who have just wanted to try gambling for the first time, gamblers with no experiences before who might be attracted with the wording like "Get 100%, 200% bonus on your first deposit".
This gimmick may attract newbies much because newbies may take it like free money until they realize that there are some terms behind the bonus.

It is not a problem to me if they accept any type of berting by the free bonus but many a times they give lots of terms and it os too hard to fulfill. Eg the bet amount should be the amount and the bet should be parley bet minimum 3 team bet should be few more fact.

Casino welcome bonus comes with different condition with different amount and because of the  bonuses some gamblers cheat on the casino bu creating multiple accounts. Though if the casino accept that no pro. But I don't think so. We have seen some situations whereby the gambler was caught and he denied of having multiple accounts or brought out different stories to cover up.
An another thing if a casino is giving bonus, they should make it easy and not complex. There are some casinos that stated first deposit bonus but at the time when you deposit nothing comes out.

Those who push forward to claim the promise rewards those are the gamblers that most of the time brings money into casino, since they are trying to earn that said rewards chances that they might lose more while trying is possible, and that's how most casino trick or trap gamblers, they hook them up to make things achievable but in reality they are earning decently while those gamblers are losing money while aiming to capture that promise rewards.

any good ones lately so i can try some?  ???

The last time I remember with good welcome bonus is Winz.io because they don’t have wagering requirements on their bonuses. You just need to wager your deposit x1 and you are good to go.

Their welcome bonus is in the form of free spin so the amount of your bonus depends on your luck when spinning slot games.

You can also try Betpanda since it offers a weekly cashback plus game of the week cashback which is awesome if you have a bad luck on slot games.  ;)

If the wager is same of the deposit amount then it should be considered as the best welvome bonus and most pf tje gambler who search for welcome bonus will prefer to use the site and take the bonus. How much the bonus amount was? Was it fixed amount or it should be base on the deposit amount?

The total welcome bonus is not fixed amount since it’s in the form of lucky wheel with random rewards in free spin or cash rewards. Most of the time rewards you will get on lucky wheel is free spin so the total welcome bonus amount depends on your luck.

The wheel rewards increase based on your deposit for your welcome bonus.

You can refer to their bonus page https://winz.io/promotions/slot-bonus

Sometimes, when we receive a bonus, the requirements are different than usual. For example, the withdrawal amount may be different. For example, the minimum withdrawal is $50, but because we received or claimed a previous bonus, the minimum withdrawal is usually higher than usual. I've experienced this, and it bothered me a bit because of the requirements. Unlike my friend, who usually gambles, he looks for casinos that offer bonuses to their players. I once asked him why he did this, as the bonus he received increased his gambling capital.

I don't think everyone is happy with bonuses that usually come with additional requirements. I've experienced this myself, wanting to satisfy my curiosity, but things didn't go as planned because there were always additional requirements even after I'd met the initial requirements.

To claim a bonus, you must meet the turnover requirement first . This is why withdrawal requirements change. If you claim $10 bonuses and after deposit $10, if the bonus has a minimum turnover requirement of 10x, you must meet this requirement. If you don't meet this requirement, you may not be able to withdraw. Deposits generally require 1x turnover requirement, while bonuses generally require 5-10x turnover requirement. Each casino has its own rules regarding this. However, this is based on the casinos I frequently use, other casinos will likely have different rules.

The offers are designed in such a way that it will be difficult for most gamblers to withdraw their money. I am generally not very enthusiastic about using bonuses because the conditions are complicated. Especially when you think you will withdraw your money, those restrictions are visible. Some casino platforms offer very high bonuses to attract users but their wagering conditions are more complicated. That is why it is not beneficial to only pay attention to the bonus, so one should also be aware of whether the conditions that are achievable or not.

I've encountered this situation in the past where automatic casino/bookmaker offers did not trigger when they were supposed to and had to follow up with support which makes me question the integrity of the site a bit, because some people won't confront them if it doesn't pay out automatically. You can basically categorize these offers into two types: type one has fairly low requirements to unlock, almost free money as long as you follow the rules and comes across as fairly trustworthy to me. Type two is overly generous, offering very large amounts or matching deposits over 100%+ but when you start digging through the terms you see that they require you to rewager the amount a ridiculous amount of times which means you'd be lucky to walk away with ten dollars at the end of it.

Yes agreed, signup or welcome bonuses sound pretty attractive but the problem lies in the T&C if read carefully. I actually don't call it problem cause, having multiple accounts, IP addresses, households, email, payment methods, etc is strictly prohibited by the casinos, and if we get caught doing so, then our bonuses and winnings may be taken back, the account may get banned, or even the deposited amount can be seized.


I cant deny, the conditions that are put to unlock the bonus amount are usually very difficult, like 30-40x bonus requirements, maximum caps on bets, minimum odds, time limits, and specific weights for different games, making the withdrawal really challenging. There are also many reports of players getting surprised after knowing about the hidden conditions or voided bonuses when they thought that they were playing by the rules.

Whatever, we couldn't fight with casino, so we should carefully read all the conditions, stick to one account, and also not get affected by the promotional gimmicks without knowing the consequences.

The TO requirements are more difficult than the bonus, so I never chase it because it will be higher than the TO with a deposit, which generally only requires 1x --- but it is reasonable for casinos to enforce rules with their bonuses so that not everyone can claim bonuses easily.

Even new casinos offer tempting initial deposit bonuses, but I'm still not interested, especially since chasing these bonuses will be difficult to meet the wagering requirements.

Some bonuses even require wagering requirements exceeding 10x.

It is correct that all the gambling sites' main target is to add as many users as possible, and to serve that purpose, they offer as many bonuses as possible, and they want customers, but those who offer more bonus may give some kinds of restrictions sothat they might not be loser for the offering bonus. Because finaaly they need users as well as profit.

It's not Bad , what happens is that the majority of players get involved with the bonuses, because a bonus can Compromise your Deposit and it turns out that in order to withdraw if you are not Satisfied with the casino game , you can't do so Until you meet those Betting Requirements , when you do them you can hardly get your Money back, this is something that Happens to many , I don't use it personally, I avoid them at all costs , I like to play only with my money to avoid bad Times.

What I notice about casinos giving out bonuses is the more the bonus they offer, the more difficult it will be to hit the bonus target. If they make it too easy, then more people who come because of the bonus will end up leaving the casino with free money. But the more difficult they make it, the longer they will keep the member there to play, and the majority will end up losing the bonus given to them. If the game is convincing enough, they will end up making a deposit to continue enjoying the experience.

The problem is the sign-up bonus. Most people like bonuses. Unfortunately, they even create accounts at many casinos just because they want bonuses. Casinos know this, but when casinos became too lenient to the point of offering bonuses without many requirements, people started abusing these bonuses. That's why casinos were forced to place requirements that are almost impossible to meet on sign-up bonuses.

To be honest, when I look at some casinos that put the following: "over 200% sign-up bonus," then in the requirements they put "for deposits over $500," and I read the TOS, I realize that the person also needs to have completed a 40x wagering requirement. I'm shocked, because it would be better not to put any sign-up bonus, because I doubt very much that anyone can meet this requirement

I agree with you that the bonus system is not bad, even though we have nothing to lose by taking the bonus, but we may achieve something with the bonus or by the bonus, though there is a high chance of being a winner and making the required wager to achieve the required number of bonuses. If there is no such risk, then it would not be considered as gambling.

True. I am also irritated by unrealistic wagers of several dozen x. In fact, they are even harmful because if a bonus is credited to a player, he often cannot return his deposit (which he did not even lose) because the bonus is credited and it must be completed. If there is an option to refuse the bonus (or vice versa, to receive a bonus you must put your consent somewhere), then I will definitely use it. For an ordinary player, such bonuses are not needed.

The requirements of the bonuses should not be so hard that no one can complete them. In such a situation, ordinary gamblers will not have confidence in that casino. If it is too easy, then the casino will face losses again. Ordinary gamblers will take that opportunity and later harm the casino. Of course, it should be kept in the middle of a bit difficult and easy situation, judging the ability of the gambler. In this way, the gambler will have confidence in that casino and they will try to stay in that casino for a long time.

What purpose would bonuses serve for the casino if they make it achievable for the vast majority? Accept it or not, bonuses are honeypots; they are strategic promotions to attract more gamblers towards a platform, and aren't actual rewards or giveaways for people for joining the platform. Casinos offer welcome or deposit bonuses and make them as intriguing as possible so that more and more gamblers start gambling with them. They make requirements hard so that not a lot of gamblers manage to complete them and be able to withdraw.

If they drop the difficulty level and reduce the wagering requirements for bonuses, more gamblers will be able to reach the threshold and then be able to withdraw their funds, some might even manage to withdraw some of the bonus amount as well if they get too lucky. So, basically, bonuses are not for our benefit, but they are basically benefitting the casinos because they are using those bonuses to attract us and make us deposit funds to avail those bonuses.

Wagering requirements is what make bonuses to look like a waste of time to most gamblers this is because most times we tend to take bonuses without even reading through their terms and conditions and at some point this terms and conditions have a lot to do with the casino withdrawal process even if you make deposits along side the bonuses, this is the reason why some gamblers just choose to avoid taking those bonuses.

As long as you gamble with your real money you can enjoy a lot there but you will never win anything big with free spins or different types of deposit bonuses. This is set in their algorithm because the bonus money is only given for their promotion and there users can only place some free bets without using their main money. And from there there can be small wins which do not allow them to fulfill the mandatory wagering requirement. And if they do not fulfill the wagering they cannot withdraw their winnings. This is just to lure gamblers. I am more in favor of not taking deposit bonuses if the wagering requirement is more then 10x

Bonuses sound exciting on the surface because the words “free spins” or “deposit match” make you feel like you’re getting extra value, but in reality the casino isn’t giving you something for nothing, it’s more like bait on a hook, the real goal is to get you comfortable with depositing and spinning more, and when people feel like they have “extra money” from a bonus they tend to take bigger risks, which only benefits the casino. Another thing people don’t notice is how bonuses influence behavior, for example, you might have planned to gamble for just an hour, but because you’re chasing the wagering requirement you stay longer, and the longer you stay the more chances you give the house edge to drain your bankroll, even if you win here and there the cycle usually keeps you playing until you’re back at zero.

There’s also the psychological trick behind it, bonuses create a sense of urgency and excitement, people feel like they’re wasting an opportunity if they don’t claim them, but in reality you’re stepping into a system where the rules are stacked against you, casinos know exactly how much to give away and how much to take back, nothing is random in the way these offers are structured. So at the end of the day bonuses don’t exist for the player’s benefit, they exist to keep the casino profitable and the player hooked, that’s why the smartest approach is to treat them with caution, never see them as free money, but as a reminder that every “reward” comes with strings attached and those strings always lead back to the house.

Yup, completing the wagering requirements delayed the possible withdrawal if ever that you wanted to move your balance out from your casino wallet, most of the time gamblers preferred not to engage to any bonuses as they just wanted to play and walk away, though there are   gamblers who knowledgeable  enough to what wagering requirements are and they are okay completing to extend their chance taking free money if luck permits them completing whatever behind the bonuses.

It's not bad because other online casinos cannot even offer a bonus after our deposits and wagered amount, it's just like normally playing without anything in return. I'd rather accept a good bonus while I am playing so that I may have a chance to maybe redeem myself through using those bonuses that I have experienced many times.
After that happened to me, it actually proved that the "no win from bonuses" is just a rumor from gamblers who may have been unlucky to win anything using their bonuses. We can win using it, and I have done that many times.

I think people wrongly understand what is a welcome bonus. They think its should be free money, when casinos consider welcome bonus to be an imitation of real excitement of playing high stakes/high risk money (as they turn a normal game into a game where you need to risk more or bet own money to get a higher prize).

It annoys me not only that the wagering requirements are impossible to fulfill, but also that even if a player is incredibly lucky and manages to meet them, he only gets the chance to withdraw the initial bonus amount, which usually does not exceed 10–20 dollars. While meeting the wagering requirements could have brought him a much larger sum, and it would be much more interesting to have the possibility to withdraw the whole amount of the win. That would add motivation to use these bonuses. Because I don’t have any motivation to play them through anymore, to be honest. Since it never works out to withdraw them because of the impossible conditions.

It depends on the terms of the welcome bonus because casinos may have different terms related to the max amount to withdraw from the welcome bonus. Some casinos may limit the max withdraw equal to the bonus amout only and some other casinos may have bigger withdrawal limit from the welcome bonus. This is why it is important to understand the whole terms of the welcome bonus first before taking the welcome bonus. I myself not that interested with any welcome bonus from casino because it is not something worth to take.

The reason why I don't pay attention to bonus is because it comes with some requirements that will make gamblers lose at the end, one of  which you already mentioned, wagering requirements is what some casinos uses to prevent the gambler from taking the bonus because the wagering requirement is too high that they can not complete it without losing it.

Free spins have been a long-standing issue among gamblers in terms of their profitability from the casino and how much free spins can differ from playing with real money deposited on a deposit.
I never managed to earn on free spins, because I was given literally a couple of dozen dollars and I managed to win 5 dash 10 maximum. Although sometimes I bet 5 dollars per spin, but in such cases the slots were always losing.
Exactly the same situation has always been observed with my gambling friends, who also received free spins from different sources.

This TO requirement sometimes makes it more difficult for us to make withdrawals because, as my friend experienced, he had to reach a certain amount in his balance to be able to withdraw his profits. For example, if we make a deposit and choose a bonus, the balance that will come in will be more than the amount we deposited, but the requirement is that the minimum withdrawal is slightly higher than usual, perhaps for people who are lucky enough they can get it.

Free spin rewards given by casino is same with the original games when played real. You only just notice that it’s hard to win on free spin is because you have only limited spin.

Normally it’s very hard to hit a decent win even on 100 spin while free spin usually just 5 to 10 spins.

I manage to win a decent amount with this free spin in the past.

This also applies to other casino bonuses, not just the welcome one. For example, I receive newsletters from several casinos a couple of times a week with a promo code for a bonus. They always use the phrase “up to” a certain amount, sometimes even up to $100. But the wagering requirements are set in such a way that it’s almost impossible to meet them, especially considering they have to be completed on slot games, where the original wager progresses much more slowly. And in slots it’s very easy to lose, so such a bonus is more of a lure to bring the player back than a real opportunity for the player.

If luck permits then you may hit something decent with free spin but same with what you said, even you've got 100 spin with your regular deposit, it's not easy to win systematically you may hit some but you need to count more times of loses to the point that it wipe out everything that you gain if you don't have any set limitations or if you fall  into greediness thinking that you can easily repeat that same outcome with your spins, end of the day, depend if luck will allow and you able to quit in the right time.

Long story short at the end of the day if you don't find your pause button then you would probably end up losing and even depositing even more to the casino in the attempt in trying to maybe replicate previous wins that you have had but didn't stop and collect it. The goal is that sometimes you might get lucky and sometimes you won't but with free spin the chances are even small because everything is tied to the luck factor.
