Chasing bonuses, is it really worth it?

I’m honestly not into that kind of style. My gambling is not even consistent. I play when I feel like it. So when there’s a bonus, I sometimes feel forced to play just to use it, even if I’m not really in the mood.

And most of the time, those bonuses come with heavy wagering anyway. So in the end, are you really winning from it? Or just playing more than you should because of the promo?

As a gambler chasing bonuses is one of the wrong thing to do, because you could be trapped. Again, sometimes I do not like their requirements that is why when gambling u do not solely rely on the bonuses I should be getting from the gambling site. I must also know how trusted the site could be before me jumping from my comfort site to starts chasing about their bonus.

It's cool to have bonuses but chasing them isn't really a wise thing to do, there are people that that gamble specifically for the purpose to win bonuses, this doesn't make any sense to me because instead of chasing  bonuses o would chase real wins. Some casinos give false adverts, they thwy show an amount of bonus they would give fo a gambler after doing certain things but it turns out to just be fake.

I always avail as much as possible when there’s available whenever I want to gamble because it gives extra money that you can use as bankroll on some casino bonus.

However, I don’t gamble just because there’s a bonus available like it’s my main driving factor why I will play.

I gamble based on my free time and frequently avail it if there’s existing bonus on the casino I’m playing. It’s useless to gamble just to chase it since it’s high wagering requirements.

For me, chasing bonuses is not worth what we have spent, maybe other people are different who chase bonuses such as cashback or other bonuses.

The bonus wagering requirements are high, usually 30x to 50x at the highest, for me this is unrealistic to pursue you will lose more, which continues to spend capital for bonuses.

Unless it's a no deposit bonus maybe I'll be happy and try to play it.

If you mentioned bonus rank up level up.

It's gonna to be worth it, If the reward or your rank up are huge and the % you're left is also small. Like, over 95% you can focused in waggering chase.... while doing these you expect to lose some money.

But the money you are lose are gonna to be cover by rank up reward.

Depending on what kind of bonuses you are talking about because there can be bonuses that worth enough to chase but this type is rare to find.
If you are referring to general bonuses such as welcome/deposit bonus, level up bonus, weekly/monthly bonus, etc then I have to say that it is not worth to chase because the bonus you may get is high likely much lower than what you have to lose while chasing it.
In general, bonuses are not something to chase, just take it as an additional reward for your gambling activities so gambling naturally without chasing bonus is always better.

I have a habit of taking advantage of existing bonuses, usually I will get information from my friends that there is a free bonus and I can withdraw it if it meets the requirements, what I often find is that by utilizing existing bonuses there are usually different requirements for withdrawal and one of them is the profit target, so I can make a withdrawal if I have reached the target but as far as I remember I have never reached the set target so I have not made any withdrawals.

I don't see any problem with taking advantage of things like this, but maybe some people are not used to things like this so they might not be interested in the bonuses or promotions that casinos offer.

[Ruttoshi]

I'm not a gambler who takes the advantage of every bonus they see. I don't chase bonuses because I prefer paying for my normal bet since these bonuses requires a wager requirements. I have a gambling budget which makes me ignore those bonuses because the wager requirements are always high.

 The painful part of it is that, even after meeting up with the wager requirements, it's not a guarantee that you will win with the bonuses. You will think it's an opportunity for you to win a reasonable amount of money but it's always the opposite.

This is something very important to consider
I've made mistakes in the past by only looking at the bonus and then having my money “stuck” for several days because I needed to meet the wagering requirements and had to keep betting until I reached the amount I needed
This can force you to bet more and even lose money
Nowadays, I take one or two bonuses when I consider the offer to be very good, otherwise I stick with my favorite gambling site

Even when we only play at one casino, we can get monthly or weekly bonuses that the casino provides for their customers. Regardless, the amounts given may satisfy some, but there are also those that give small amounts. Attractive casino bonuses are usually for new users or returning welcome bonuses. But that leads gamblers to eventually register at many casinos to chase bonuses. I don't know if it's worth it or not, but for me, it might not be worth it if we suddenly encounter a scam casino.

I almost never pay attention to bonuses unless it's some kind of minor boost that you get for bets already made and that can be activated with one click without any conditions or extra steps. The profits you get are simply not worth the effort (and money) it takes to get them. Another important factor is that by using bonuses, you attract the attention of casino security, as bonus hunters are a major headache for this business. I find it more convenient to play based on my own desires rather than on promotions and the like.

Chasing bonuses is a subjective thing, and only gamblers who find bonuse offers attractive that will Chase after it, because bonuses comes with it own conditions and for gamblers who can clearly interpret terms and conditions, their will discover what the hidden conditions in bonuses are and will definitely want to avoid it, but if the bonus come with zero conditions like meeting the wagering requirements then is a welcome gifts and can be chased after.

To a certain extent, bonuses do not really move me to play games when I observe its not really significant for a little numberpf possible odd. Because I have this new pattern of picking few games and a high wager rather than multiple games and a little wager amount.

My betting consistency is bad which is actually good so I dont get addicted to it. I only bet on a familiar games and not regularly , for betting and not casino anyways, because i have more experience with betting than with casinos. But in general, I play games based on available outcome and not based off bonuses or cashbacks.

[Rashlyowl]

Chasing all those bonuses is not worth it at all, I agree with you bros @Questat that we could end up losing more than we should. I can say that because I experienced it when I first started gambling, where I chase $20 bonus & end up losing more than $400. It's nice to see there are bonuses to be had if we meet the requirements, but don't force ourselves to meet the requirements, just play as usual.

Cashback that isn't tied to a rollover is fine, same with free spins, but if a bonus requires a big rollover or a shit load of wagering to qualify you're going to lose more than the bonus is worth most of the time. It's better to just wager normally and if you qualify for a free bonus by doing so, it's a plus.

[Z-tight]

If the casino you gamble in is kind in bonuses, then by all means you should take advantage of that. However, many times bonuses come with crazy wagering requirements that makes it impossible to get anything out of it.

Bonuses shouldn't be the first thing you look out for in a casino. Their reputation, withdrawal, complaint resolution, etc, all come first. Some scam casinos even use too good to be true bonuses to lure players in, so you also have to watch out for that.

Likewise me. Some of the casinos out there offer and give out bonuses with some special terms and conditions, and for those who don’t really like to check the company’s T&Cs before gambling, some casinos can actually use these avenue to defraud players in such a dishonest way. I’ve gambled and won a good sum with a bonus sometime ago, and rather than allowing me to withdraw, I was given a threshold for wins from the bonuses and asked to keep playing with that money until my win grows to that threshold but I still ended up losing the whole thing along the line.  

[Beparanf]

There’s some bonus that worthy to chase such as boost odds, free spins, cash drops and deposit bonus that has low wagering requirements.

But most of the time casino bonus was attached to high wagering requirements that’s why it’s worthless to chase them now since it’s not profitable or simply not manageable to complete without being extremely lucky by hitting a huge win that will give more bankroll to wager.

If you are depositing just because of bonus with high wagering requirements then I think it’s complete waste of time.

All bonuses have a certain reason to be used. Free crypto/btc?In my opinion if this doesn't change your gambling behaviour you're doing a good action.
if you have time, take it!
If you can't or you see as difficult to reach a certain condition just avoid immediately. Bonuses can be also a "challenge" not only "free money".
In general the most these are free and easy the lower is the amount
