Do you see casino welcome bonuses as worth grabbing - or just a waste of time?

[AmoreJaz]

Welcome bonus is not a waste of time, it is an opportunity for new users to be able to have a feel of a particular gambling platform for the first time experience, if the gambler meet with the conditions that comes with this, then it will be a better opportunity for them with gambling on that platform, because everything is being targeted towards encouraging gamblers to start an as well stand a chance of getting something along the line.

These bonuses are just bonuses, so you should not expect much from it. Either you avail it or not. If you feel you are just wasting your time, then, don't get your bonus. But if you think you can somehow get some profits, then go for it. This is not compulsory for you to get from the site. But it will be available to you if you want it.

Exactly,casino welcome bonuses isn’t a waste of time,most gamblers even hunt new casinos just to utilize their welcome bonuses I still don’t call that waste of time because it’s their choice to make whether a casino bonus is actually wasting their time or not.What I would consider waste of time is when an individual spends literally the whole day in the casino,for what exactly probably the casino is their safe space or they enjoy losing their hard earned money in the casino.So in my own opinion,gamblers using welcome bonuses aren’t wasting their time,bonuses are meant to be used right?ofcourse yes so they should use it.

Most of this casinos are involved in high rated welcome bonuses that you can't shy away from, for some gamblers it means everything to them or less say it's serves as a saving opportunity for them. But left for me I don't rely on casino welcome bonuses as they can just be like a trap amd I feel it's a bonus that's meant to be enjoyed by every gambler that tends to gamble with no bankroll.

If you are just going to test a casino, I believe a welcome bonus without a deposit to claim it is the best way to play without actually spending real money in the casino, even if they trap you inside by giving some high wagering requirements to meet, but any bonus which is for a new casino that has to do with me being required to deposit first before claiming, I always avoid it. I try to just use my deposit to play rather than claiming such a bonus, as my real deposit might end up getting trapped with it.

In your experience, do you still chase those welcome bonuses? Or do you just stick to a few trusted, well-known casinos and ignore the bonus hype?

For me I see them as a way to promote the brand and bring more customers to try out their site. Some bonus goes as far as asking for up to 25X or more wager before you will be able to unlock a win and that's ridiculous if you ask me. It was never meant for you to win because such high wager amount to me seems impossible. I can deal with at least 10x but nothing more would entize me with such bonus. We know very well that casinos will not do anything that will cost them their own money. Everything is to make sure they make their profits. But maybe some people might want them those but not me. I'm not usually chasing after casinos because of bonus I just want to have fun that's all..

I don't really pay much attention to them. If, by betting the amounts I usually bet and at the frequency I can bet, I manage to clear the bonus, fine (which hardly ever happens). But I’m not going to bet more than usual just to try and clear a bonus because I know the odds are against me. In fact, the casinos know this: bonuses can encourage people to bet more, and provided there’s no abuse, the casino will make more money if people chase bonuses – even if some are lucky enough to make a profit from them.

The ratio is small because looking at the wagering requirements that must be targeted usually 30x-50x the most common wagering, it is not an easy thing to conquer.
There are some gamblers who can do that but that is only a small fraction of the many gamblers who are chasing the same bonus so rather than pushing ourselves too far wouldn't it be better if we keep betting according to what we want without the ambition of chasing the welcome bonus.

But sometimes there are always a lot of gamblers who sometimes make this as an interest where they are not even a little bit of a bonus hunter like this just to get a win in the welcome bonus promo and not a few gamblers who always end up on the reputation board experience something like this.

There is nothing special about casino bonus and we don't have to see it as easy money to make profits from a casino offering the bonus. The casino that is giving us the bonus have there own reasons for that and it's to make players discontented so that they can later use their own money to gamble on a casino. This is why most of the bonuses I have gotten from casinos are equal to useless cause I was not able to use it and do anything tangible.

We all know casinos use these welcome offers to attract gamblers. And yes, the bonus sounds good on paper. But actually,  they come with all kinds of terms and conditions. It’s not exactly charity, they just highlight the possible wins to lure people in.

I'm not sure if I have ever chased after casinos bonuses or use casino bonuses. Whenever a new casino comes to the forum I try them out not because of the welcome bonus they are offering,  i just want to see how they operate.

However, casino bonuses are not free money that's why they come with terms and conditions.  Therefore anyone who wants to chase after casino bonuses should always have it at the back of their mind that casinos only offer those bonuses to attract customers,  not to give away free profit.

Casinos use the bonuses as bait to catch much bigger fish.

I am not falling for that, not saying it's scam but it's kind of psychological trap that is going to push you to gamble more to claim the bonus and often it comes with wagering requirement like 30x, in that scenario you be the judge whether it's worth chasing it.

*for me it's waste of time.

[JunaidAzizi]

They are using it for users with which they trap the users, especially the new ones who just enter into gambling or don't have that much experience, they are an easy hunt for them. I used to do it as I thought that it was free money, but then I realized that the bonuses have no value after the many conditions, and in all that, I lost more than I was supposed to gain. Now I just move to a few casinos and don't care about the bonuse,  I focus on enjoyment and betting to make some money, and that's it.

Seeing bonus in casino doesn't freaky me anymore because thise bonuses are can be seen nice from eyes, but they only draw attentions of the users or customers. That's why I don't get convinced by thier bonuses no matters how big it is, that shouldn't be a reason to choose them, the only interesting part is getting to know if the casino is trustworthy and functions as expected, I can go for that type,but never choose them emotionally, if not you will end up chasing a bigger wins to unluck the bonuses being given, look at the bonuses as smaller thing than viewing it as an opportunity to make money through the bonuses quickly. The good ones speaks for thier self without giving aby bonuses even.

Where do you get welcome bonuses without the requirement of making a deposit? I mean, even if you are able to claim the welcome bonus without making a deposit initially, but it's not possible for you to actually use the bonus money to complete the wagering requirement and then make a withdrawal without having to make a deposit at all. What would the casino get for offering such a bonus? You realize that casinos provide these bonuses and promotions for their own benefits and not ours, right? If you know this, then you should know that casinos don't really give you bonuses or offers where it will only be you who would get the opportunity to make something and they won't get anything in return.

When a casino gives you a bonus, they want you to make a deposit for it, because, when you make that deposit, they get some money out of you, and then they give you a bonus with a pretty high wagering requirement, and that bonus give you a minor possibility of making some more money and eventually be able to make a withdrawal, but of course, only of you manage to complete the wagering requirement, which is usually so high that you will even exhaust your deposited balance and still won't be able to fulfill the wagering requirement.

The fact that there’s always a catch that comes with the bonuses makes it really unrealistic for me. Although I’ve benefited very little from casino bonuses but the T&Cs attached to bonuses makes it really difficult to benefit from them, and some folks end up wasting their time chasing real money via bonuses, so they literally try to avoid them as much as they can. Even though I’ve actually benefited from bonuses a few times in the past, I’m still not that enthusiastic about them, not just bonuses, even all the casino freebies like the free spins and giveaways.

Yes, it is absolutely true that casino companies use bonuses as bait and they know that using bonuses as bait will attract people to that bonus and gamble. A few days ago I got a few dollars as a bonus from a casino company and while gambling there I had to follow their rules. Because of following their rules I lost all the money, even though I won the first time. But the second time I participated in the bet I lost everything and later I had to gamble with my own money. So I really think that casino companies use bonuses as bait.
