Signup Bonuses

[PenguinFire]

Do signup bonuses hurt or help you guys?  It has always hurt me.    Two or three different times at different casinos I won a fair amount of money and wanted to cash out but most do not allow you to cash out minus the bonus.  So basically they have always only hurt me rather than me benefit from them.

What are some of your experiences?

I never use any bonus avaliable because it is always hard to complete rollover and to risk your whole deposit But I try completing eagering requirement if it is no deposit bonus when I risk nothing

[PenguinFire]

Yeah, I need to make a mental note to never take the signup bonus.  Signup bonuses really need to be changed to reasonable terms but that will never happen unless the users demand it.  I don't see that happening anytime soon unfortunately.

I guess signup bonus with term high rollover its normal, because you got this free. I never can withdraw when i got singup bonus 

[IBGigglin]

Ive never once been able to complete a bonus. Not even with fiat sites like Bovada. If you have a large bankroll to 'complete' or 'unlock' bonuses the return you get isn't significant vs what you risked to achieve it. Or in your case, they just dont let you withdraw.. I just play to play. Never anything big enough to get the 'perks'

[cryptworld]

I do not recommend any signup bonus
They all have huge rollover requirement to withdraw your money and when you try to rollover you lose it for sure

Good question and good tips.

Good question and good tips.

You write about bitcoin casinos?  You should do an article or something on the subject to get it out there that no one ever benefits from signup bonuses and the terms need to be changed.  Like I said, I don't think we are ever going to get anywhere with this but it is worth a shot.  I hate how the big sites make it sound like it is an uber good deal and they are practically giving money away.

35X-50X rollover for first deposit bonus is a bait, it is used for eating all of your deposits, AFAIK, only a few people can complete this ridiculous high rollover actually.

i only use no deposit bonus and I have redeemed some money from this kind of bonus from some casinos, quite good cos it is funny and happy when I pass the rollover. if i lost it, i don't lose money of my pocket.

Not really sure what do you mean by sign up bonus, is it a deposit bonus or no deposit bonus? If it is a  no deposit bonus, so it should be a benefit for the players, because players can try the site for free (no need to deposit). But if it is a deposit bonus, it could be benefit for both players and the site. Benefit for players when they could complete the rollover and won a lot of money, but it is benefit for the site if the players could not complete the rollover and busted all the bonus + their own money.

Personally hate them. I feel like they're just a gimmick to force you to gamble more and longer than you want. The last ~5 casinos I looked at, the maths puts you as far better off to not claim the bonus. And you're not trapped either, which is nice.

Those signup bonuses - never cashed out from them in my experience.
but normally I will just apply for those no deposit required 1,
therefore, at least I didn't loss on my own money.

Yes, I was referring to deposit bonuses.  I guess "signup bonuses" popped in my mind because usually they are offered when you first signup for the casino.  And I don't see how it could benefit both parities at the same time.  One side has to loss for the other to win in this business, right?

Well players could just take matters into their own hands and generate income, we just launched one of the best programs for that. Cashback of 20% per week, and now 15% affiliate bonuses. It's a great way to earn while you play or refer people; details are here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1065847.msg11828258#msg11828258

Have fun

I don't think they are cool with going to threads and posting referral links.  Yes, it may have relevance here but they go pretty hard with that rule.  Well, I don't even know if it is, in fact, a real.  I just know they are sticklers about it.  I would just remove the referral part of the link and then you are good to go.

Yeah but those ones are extremely hard to complete as well and most casinos make it that you only get like 25% on roulette or blackjack and only slots it's 100% which is bullshit, a rollover of x20 would be x80 if you played blackjack, we all know casinos are an indirect scam but when they do that it's ridiculous.

Yes you are right.. but I did not say that it could be a benefit for both parties at the same time, did I?  
I myself prefer to avoid deposit bonuses, but sometime I take it especially when my deposit is only a small amount and when the rollover is not quite high.

well at least it doesn't hurt
I was able to turn 0.005 in Lucky Flop to around 0.5 , they had nice freerolls and this 0.005 was a good help in the beginning to discover the place
but in casinos I was never able to cashout or to win form the bonuses due to wager requirements

[jacee]

Most sign up bonuses requires a minimum wages before it can be available for withdrawal. If you are lucky enough then you can profit from it but in my case, I have no luck I always lose it. so yea.
