Signup Bonuses

[pooya87]

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 lose most of the time so i don't get to the withdrawal part often
they usually don't let you withdraw the bonus unless you play a certain amount but i have never encountered the withdraw minus the bonus. it shows that the site is doing pretty badly that they can not afford to give away the bonus.
as far as my experience goes i did get a nice bonus on tothemoon site and played a little and won more and withdrew all of my balance which went through smoothly.

I hate signup bonuses because they are always tricky and it makes me lose money, I stay away from them

If you deposit enough to survive some unlucky streak, then your bonus is your best friend, so better deposit 1 btc and "rollover" your bonus

All sign up / deposit bonus is very impossible to withdraw, wagering is absurd 35-50 x, is better search any sport betting (non in bitcoin) with deposit bonus for only one bet

I wouldn't say help or hurt. They're mainly designed to get you playing there & they hope you enjoy their site & play regularly. I doubt anybody wins big with their sign up bonus. It's just to attract you to the site & get more money out of you in the long run

There are two types of sign up bonuses, in one you don't need to deposit anything and those are the ones with huge wagering requirements but since they're free, they don't hurt even if you end up losing them.

The other is first deposit bonus and they can hurt but usually sites allow you to choose whether you want the bonus or not. So if you think you'll not be able to make the wagering requirement of those just don't apply them.

It is still better than no bonus at all. You have a chance to test casino services and see how things are going on. These bonuses are just encouragement method.
Do you think owner of the casino could afford giving everyone free money? Casino is a company not charity.

Sign up bonuses are designed to lure you in to gamble and besides there are always a catch that you have to wager certain amount to withdraw which in most cases its too pretty high..

[imbladednow]

Never helps me.. Most of them are just scams to get you using the service but it near impossible to get paid out.,

Excelent post!

Whilst a casino bonus is overall a bomus, normally I sign up with out bonuses as many casinos won't let you withdraw even your deposits as you have to meet the rollover criteria for a bomus you might not have evn wanted ...

There are few people that made more than 0.1 btc from small amount- 200 satoshi. You just need a lot of luck and patient

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.  

He didn't that's a new referral program not a link to personal referral........must be another sig farming thread...sigh ty signature spam

I've been really lucky with sign-up bonuses. I made 70mbtc from 0.03btc signup bonus, and another 0.05 from 10mbtc bonus. Seems like I'm the only one to be lucky with bonuses here.

No! It is better to play just with your money you have a chance to withdraw if you win something

Alot of the bonuses are for you to play the site for cheap and get a feel for it, they are not meant to be easy to complete. When you signed up did you read what the wager requirements were? Most are between 30x-50x and is possible but not everyone gets them complete, I have had a few I've completed and over all am up from bonuses. There are some ways how to get a slight edge

lol, deposit 1 btc and get 1 btc bonus, and then it is still easily busted, unless deposit more, but depositing more bitcoins may mean that losing more bitcoins and still can't withdraw.

IMO casino bonus is a bait and it is bonus for casinos, not for us actually. That's why most of people can't complete the high rollover and bust.

This should be known to first time online bitcoin gamblers.  Basically these "bonuses" more betting before you are able to withdrawl anything.  It is so lame in my mind.  Why go back to a site that basically made you gamble extra in hopes to make sure you lose?  I know, it was in the terms but how many first time gamers read it correctly the first time?

Please give me site name.

Signup bonuses are usually next to impossible to withdraw so you need to becareful. Because most sites make you risk about 30 BTC just to get 1 BTC of bonus which is just not worth it.
