Chasing bonuses, is it really worth it?

[Crypto Library]

Do we have gamblers here who mostly play just for casino bonuses, like free spins, deposit bonus, cashback, and all that?

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?

I personally would call bonus chasing a kind of jackpot chase. Because we can see the casino bonuses are just that good but when we try to claim them by depositing then when we see their requirements it will be confirmed that I have exhausted my bankroll by wagering but the wagering requirement has not been filled.

This has happened to me most of the time and so I personally think that bonus chasing is stupid. Instead of bonus chasing it is better to participate in the contests that are released by the casino in various gambling communities.

I think I am like you, because I don't take it seriously too, hardly I gamble anyways. But I think there are large numbers of people who take this welcome bonus seriously, they like the promo offer, they make sure they make judiciously use of it by all means. But some people don't fucking care. If I am one of those that benefits from it, I would have signify by listing how profitable it is to me.

Anything that has to do with chasing in gambling, I don’t really buy the idea. If one is not ready to gamble with the amount that can be afforded, there is no need to chase bonuses. Gamble when you are ready, and at the same time, you may like to have the bonus.

Don't gamble because you need a bonus; gamble because you want to have some fun and you already have money to use for gambling, not necessarily depending on gambling with a bonus. Bonus is the reason why one is always around the casino; that means there is a problem.

Bonuses are sweet to get and can fetch some good money if properly utilised but chasing bonus is something I consider a waste of time. Instead of chasing bonuses and fulfilling wagering requirements,  building one's capital will generate more profits. In other words, someone with good capital, the efforts wasted in chasing bonuses with several conditions will be better used in growing the account balance. It is even risky chasing bonus from platform to platform because some of them can be scam which will lead to loss.

Count me out when it comes to chasing bonuses. I gamble when I feel like, in fact, I dont care about casino bonuses, and that is the reason I have been faithful to the few casinos, all these years.

To answer your question, chasing bonuses is not worth it. Many gamblers have lost more in the process of chasing bonuses. While some of them have been caught having multiple accounts in the process of chasing a new sign-up bonus.

[Marykeller]

Bonuses is not what casino gives all the time, and I don't think anyone who calls themselves a gambler would love to apply such moves to gamble when there are bonuses, while in the real sense they can choose to gamble at any time they feel, without waiting or thinking that there are bonuses given to a particular bet they want to gamble their money on

I am not a casino bonus freak, but I do love free spins mostly because I’ve been very lucky with them. Cashback is my least favorite casino bonus because the terms and conditions are almost as safe. It is set against you for you never to reach it. So even when there’s a cashback, you do not get the cash back. I don’t have any opinion on deposit bonus because I have tried that one yet.

Yes, there are gamblers who are only chasing bonuses without any heavy financial involvement and it is because of them casinos restrict gamblers from having more than one account with them to prevent and avoid bonus abuse. These set of gamblers usually have multiple accounts with different casinos and all they do is target first deposit bonuses, festive season bonuses, promotional bonuses and many more. If chasing bonuses was not beneficial to them, bonus abuse wouldn't have been a thing to be concerned about because gamblers would lose interest in it.

Chasing bonuses or losses, either way, will give you a headache afterwards. Because if you are expecting something out of what you are doing, it means, you will get disappointed afterwards. If you happen to experience this target, then, you would know already what will happen next if you don't stop chasing that target. Because this is gambling, you have no assurance of what may happen next.
If you've been long enough in gambling, you already know the drill on this. Chasing losses will just present you more problem instead of solving what you want. You can go deep if you won't stop and pause. So before you go this route, you need to understand that traversing this path will give you more financial trouble rather than solving what's on hand. And for sure, it is not your first time to have such situation.

At most times they do but if you think that there's a good one that you can fill the requirements and it's exactly the games that you like to play. Why not just give it a try? Like it's a gas station that you'll have to pass by for a long drive and just take the chances of doing so when you think that you're able to. But if it's far from your reality, you know what you should do and what's best for your bets and the money you'll spend on it. And if you're winning from it is based on your results and how you foresee things. If it's doable, give a try but if not then forget about it, no one forces us to get into those bonuses.

If you’re feeling so, that means that the bonus promos are also getting you enticed to want to try your luck out. It is basically a way to keep you coming and stay around their casino often even when you feel like not playing because of time or maybe incurred some loss before. Casinos are always one step ahead to keep their business at the top of the game in the competitive gambling industry.

Casinos come with this bonus promo to encourage you into playing more. This is their own marketing strategy to get you active in the game. When you look at it deeply, you can tell very clearly that it if for their own good and a very good marketing strategy. So Yes, bonuses are being chased by many gamblers and this keeps them being active with the casino more because of the tempted bonus they give them to wager.

Chasing them is riskier than simply going for some Gambling to entertain your self.  The Bonuses have requirements little to no users generally hit so you will be tempted to chase it simply for earning that Bonus.  But in the way you may find an obstacle you had little expectations for, such as losing some bets you were not planning to lose.  And then what do you do, you already lost, the only remaining thing to do is to try and hit that Bonus at least, right?

There are some mind tricks you should be aware of and Bonuses are in my opinion one of them.  If you want to chase a Bonus particularly for fun then it is one thing.  But do not chase it out of greed because chances are you will lose.

Bonuses are not as much money as I spend on gambling, I always think that's why I never chase them, for example, if you deposit $5000 and get 20% cashback, it will not be withdrawn and will only extend your time playing gambling because your capital to get additional funds from bonus events is always a high requirement to be able to withdraw a bonus from the casino, as well as other bonuses such as welcome bonuses, free spins, I think if you chase it is a waste of time, unless you really want those things.

I'd rather chase the free scatters, that's more exciting.

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.

The requirements are not guaranteed, they have a lot of criteria that we have to follow and that is very annoying in my opinion, only weekly/monthly bonuses are sane enough, but also you can't chase them because we are targeted to have a lot of money to spend on gambling, and that is not the right choice for someone who maintains security in their finances, I need to need more than a year to get a good rank in the casino and only focus on one casino if I want to get better bonuses.
In my opinion, many casinos are actually very risky, especially if you are just chasing bonuses.

[ScamViruS]

I am not a bonus chasing gambler because every bonus has some requirement that has to be fulfilled. Many casino bonuses have many terms & conditions that have to be followed. But gamblers get so attracted to the bonus that they do not read the T&C properly, due to which they face problems later.

So instead of bonus chasing, I give more importance to the casino that provides the best service where I get things as per my expectations which makes my gambling experience better.

As a gambler I can tell you for free that chasing bonuses or looses is the weirdest thing to do because it gives you more heartbreaks and makes you open to more losses either than winning because since the outcome of games is unpredictable most times and the chances of winning is slim so you trying to chase looses or bonuses makes you spend more and winning might not even come from it making you waste your time and money.

Basically casinos will show you mouth watering bonuses in other to lure you into playing but you just have to be wise and gamble when necessary or when you feel like gambling not to be moved by bonuses because you might not win at the longrun and end up regretting your money and time you invested in playing, in as much as I like free spins I don't allow it get into my head or be moved by the bonuses I see, I just keep to my budgets and bet when I want to not on a regular based or either chasing bonuses.

[Hispo]

Honestly, I think it is rather a personal choice and how easily some people can be influenced by FOMO (feeling of missing out) so they spend more money and time on casinos than they usually do.
As for me, I prefer to stick to my original budget and keep in mind those bonuses have very heavy restrictions, which make them very difficult to capitalize in the first place.

I think it is better not to gamble with those bonuses in mind, and just take them if we are truly gambling for the sake of fun an old not out of greed.

Bonuses were designed to favour the house and not the gamblers, as most players are going to lose due to the harsh requirements and conditions in order to be rewarded by the bonuses proposed by casinos. After all, they aren't worthy, unless the gambler takes this as a personal challenge he can afford to spend. I've already tried pursuing some bonuses, and I can say it was really rewarding when I managed accomplishing the requirements.

It was like doing something pretty difficult successfully, so it feels good after all. But it's not advisable to do this in a frequent basis.

I would start by saying that not all gambling platforms have same requirements for bonuses and rewards and that's one thing a gambler should consider.
The site I mostly gamble on normally gives me bonuses that I end up using or ignore until it is worth something substantial, because it is often a small amount that can't be withdrawn and it is mostly a bonus given because I am consistent in funding my wallet and betting.
I don't hustle for any further rewards besides how to either win my bet or at least go home with a reasonable cashout amount.
This helps me stay focused and avoid any over impulsive desires to gamble which often leads to addiction.

When gamblers gain experience, they understand exactly why casinos give bonuses and how to use them. Since I gamble at a specific casino, I think about using the reward properly at that casino and I want to be satisfied there. Trying to get a bonus at other casinos and not being able to withdraw it without fulfilling the correct requirements creates frustration. So bonuses are not always easy, there are many things hidden behind them.
