A remark on casino bonuses

[nimogsm]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[crwth]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I meant promos that banners promote are useless.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[slapper]

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

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

[Hispo]

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

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

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

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

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