Chasing bonuses, is it really worth it?

[asriloni]

No casino will give you free money. Those promos used as a bait to attract the gamblers to come. It's no more than a marketing tool. However, it maybe able to boost if we are using it wisely. But it is not the reason for us to engage caused by it's used to psychologically built to get you to spend and hook more with the casino.
If people are treating bonus like a free money. So they don't know what means of marketing purpose.

If you are that kind of gambler who constantly chooses bonuses, you cannot find solace in one platform, the urge to be signing up on different casino platforms would be endless, which will literally cause many unfair result in your gambling life. Can't tell the result but would definitely be negative over time.

I would rather stick to one platform even though I've used up the first sign up bonus long time ago, I wouldn't mind forgetting about the bonus but strictly face what matters alot, I can't be so greedy for bonuses for the sake of more money, nah.

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

Some gamblers move from one casino to the other in search of a welcome bonus, and any casino which offers them a bonus; if not, they don't gamble. I don't know if they are comfortable with the wager requirement which always comes with these bonuses, and they are always as serious as the casino, almost telling you they don't want you to claim the bonus.

Bonuses only work like the name says — bonuses. It's something you get like an add-on or additional benefits and not the main thing. Whenever I get a bonus, I enjoy it better if said bonus came as a result of a win because ot makes the win even better. Chasing bonuses is one of the sure-fire way to lose money too because they're usually designed to prevent people gaming them.

Signing up for multiple platforms might actually be a good way to get rid of this strange addiction really fast.  After they lose a lot of Money chasing them, they may finally realize why these Bonuses are offered so often.

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?

It was deposit bonuses that made me completely give up on anything that has to do with gambling sites bonuses, even up to free spins that has some wagering requirement attached to it, they’ll ask you to play a certain amount and then if you manage to get it, the highest you’ll be able to withdraw would still be so small that you won’t even be able to get something good.

If I should ever opt in for a bonus, it’s usually not because I’m trying to play and get the money out but simply because I’m trying to test out something and didn’t feel like making a deposit myself, that’s usually the reason.

Bonuses don't have a positive EV. You can't win from them most of the time and that's why they are there. To lure you in.

Sure, with a bonus you can to more Waggers for less money. If that's your goal then go for it.
If you were going to gamble any way, might as well get a bonus. But it's also locking your money in and even if you have a somewhat good run, you're restricted in your withdrawal and will likely lose everything before you reach the rollover target.

Before you commit to any bonus with a wagering requirement you have to ask yourself if it's worth it

There are so many gamblers especially the newbies that are looking for quick money so that they can try their luck playing free games after making a little deposit to qualify to win or earn profits from the free game.

I don't know how this can be profitable but I know that it does not really make sense for gamblers to be moving from one casino to the next one looking for bonus rewards for new players. There is nothing a new casino can offer news players that an old established casino can not do and this is dependent on their marketing patterns.

Bonuses ke.. Honestly I mostly ignore many of all these bonuses and I usually stick to playing when I should and when I can .. This is coz bonuses are mostly use as a kind of bait to entice gamblers into gambling even more and even taking more bigger risk than they probably should... Most casino will make the wagering requirements so high in such a way that they will eventually get back he money that they may have promised to give you as a bonus..

Terrible choice!
I think bonuses are very welcome when they are earned naturally, as they are situations where the casino has recognized that you are a potential player and deserve to receive a "treat".

However, think about it... what do casinos gain by giving bonuses to players? Do not you think they gain something in return?
Of course they do!!! Often these bonuses have some requirements, which sometimes allow the casino to win more than it loses.

Pursuing these bonuses means fulfilling certain spending requirements, which most of the time is not something favorable for us as players.

Once I almost win with bonuses but the rest? nah.

Sometimes bonuses comes up with unrealistic wager requirement, if the requirement doesn't make sense to me no need to waste time and money to chase them. But if we want just to enjoy like freespins cause sometimes casino give us free with challange or giveaway then we can use it for fun. Bonuses either can help their platform to get more names or just to trap gamblers, we should not easily fall for bonuses tho altough it's very tempting.

I call them bonus hunters. Almost all the casinos have their KYC details because they are registered with many casinos because of bonuses. These gamblers are more interested in free spins and other bonuses than in the reputation of casinos. I have also observed that they do not have any advantage since they don't benefit from these bonuses. Its possible that they have become obsessed with bonuses.  They have not yet realised that these offers are promotional tools to attract users and not a free will gift. I don't know why they are not conscious that giving out personal information to many casinos increases the risks of scams and hacks.

Most of the time i do make use of bonuses specially the deposit bonus ones to add up even more into my bankroll, as for the terms and conditions then we do know that you would be needing up to hit a particular wagering requirement on which this is just that very common or simply in default. You do have the choice whether you would be activating such bonus or not because there are those gamblers who doesnt want to have that bigger wagering requirement and just that totally trying out to make money once they do hit their sole deposit bonus and able to withdraw funds once they are that eligible. We do know that its never been easy on having that kind of situation about getting out yourself once you do made out a deposit on which considering that house do always win at the end and this has always been the reality that needs for someone to realize on.

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.

You have a point though, some gamblers prefer to chase bonuses especially when they are huge, and they prefer to use bonuses amounts to gamble instead of using real stakes. But personally I don't think chasing these offers is worth it if you have to stake huge amounts of money, this is the requirement of most casinos and I think if gamblers focus on this they might gamble irresponsibly.

there may be, but for me I don't gamble for welcome bonus and cashbacks.

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.

I think you we are thesame kind of people, I don't really care about those bonuses or whatsoever, sometimes I deposit fund on my betting app and gamble some amount and take a break, I may even have bankroll for gambling but not serious about using it. So hardly will I even think of gambling with my welcome bonuses.

If you are after the bonuses then it's already given to play more than you should in order to meet the requirement to be able to withdraw your profit. But most of the time before you even know, your funds are already busted therefore risky to try. These bonuses are one of the marketing strategy of casinos to lure their customers and I'm also one of those who got hooked by it. I had an experience to withdraw my earnings from the bonus, because the game that I need to wager the funds are not slots (which i'm not really good at). Anyway, there's nothing wrong to chase the bonus but set a limit, and don't expect to gain from it.

All these bonuses are almost always problematic. The casino sets such conditions that it's better not to use them at all. I've been burned so many times by this. I've come to the conclusion that I'll only play with my own money and not take advantage of this bait. It's too smooth a scam to be true. There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's time to realize this and make the right decision.

Deposit bonuses? No, that's something I don't want to try again because I know how hard it is to meet dozens of wagering requirements. But free spins from contests or pools are always interesting to keep up with.

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 don't think I've ever won from a deposit bonus, as it's incredibly difficult. I often regret activating it.
It's better to play normally because you can withdraw your winnings whenever you feel like it.

[Darker45]

There are different kinds of bonuses. Maybe a few are worth pursuing or at least not that unreasonable to pursue, but most are certainly not. In the first place, bonuses are often there for you to go beyond your limits.

I think the best approach is just to play at your own pace with an amount that you carefully set. If there's a bonus coming your way because of it, then it's the kind of bonus that's really a bonus.

If you're playing for the sake of hitting certain targets which would make you qualify for a bonus, you're the product. You're not just entertaining yourself or having fun; the casino is making fun of you.

I don’t consider it problematic rather just hard since it’s plain and simple to understand the rules while it’s just hard to complete it.

Won’t blame casino if they choose to set their ToS that way since many abusers on crypto casino due to potential multiple account and claim bonus with easy ToS repeatedly.

This is the downside of online casino compared to brick and mortar casino that you are being KYC physically.
