Chasing bonuses, is it really worth it?

[Powerjumboo]

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 is never wise to chase bonuses. Chasing bonuses is a complete waste of time. I have never chased bonuses. Every time I have gambled and bet, I have gambled and bet with my own money. If you cannot fulfill all the promises that the casino platform makes for the bonus, then the casino platform will never give you that bonus and even if they give you their bonus, if you do not follow the rules properly, you will be excluded from that bonus. So I would say that chasing bonuses is a complete waste of time.

You're absolutely right about that, chasing bonus is just a waste of time at first I thought the casino is doing me good by offering those bonus but I never knew it's just a strategy/ or tactics they used to get their customers and also trap those Old users, because I noticed that whenever they bring an offer There's this rules that says that you must wager at least one time before converting your bonus offer into real money or before you can be able to withdraw, in some cases you will be ask to deposit extra money to add it together with the bonus offer all this things annoy me most times.

One time? That's a steal, usually casinos comes up with 15x 20x or 35x wagering requirements to claim that bonus which is why most of the people will not be able to claim them into real money but if we act smart then we can just focus on the wagering requirements like 1.01x multiplier on dice or crash or aviator then it is possible but it's worth the hassle? I don't think so.

Following bonuses is a familiar hobby of many gamblers. I love it myself. I've long been used to the fact that every minute of my life should have a meaning that makes me richer. I am constantly looking for bonuses in games, casinos and betting, and I am also constantly looking for discounts in stores. It's already a lifestyle, and I'm not interested in computer games and books. I'm much more interested in finding some bonuses or discounts and taking advantage of them. And that really makes me happy. That's why I love receiving new casino offers by email.

Currently, chasing bonuses is very difficult. A few years ago, chasing bonuses was seen as valuable because it offered the chance to win something, even for free But personally, things aren't like that now A bonus is always tied to a deposit, and they aren't so easy because the wagering requirements are incredibly difficult to meet So, it's no longer something that makes you feel great or worth pursuing

Some might be seeing this to be some sort of trap just like me, but there are really those gamblers who are really that fond on dealing or getting these bonuses just because they can expand out their bankroll and this is something that they do really want. It would be just that too impossible that they wont be able to know about the terms and conditions about these bonuses. For sure those complete newbies that do believe that they can make advantage of bonuses are really just that being hopeful and something should be avoided on this case. It would be just that best that you should be that cherishing out those bonus amounts to have more fun and leisure rather than on thinking yourself on having that making money out of bonuses because its not something that so easy for you to get out or would be able to hit up that threshold for you to be able to make out such withdrawal.

Don't chase anything if you want to enjoy gambling. Why? Because it only gives pressure in your mind and usually ends in frustration. If you can see, a lot of gamblers become desperate because their mind urges them to believe that they could win. And it is very unfortunate that the more we think about winning, the more we lose money. It is something like a curse.

That is why we should make ourselves clear about gambling because it is difficult to accept failure when we already assume good things will happen.

Bonuses will be never be a trap if you know how to deal with it, casinos do not force you to take any bonus provided by the casino so you are free to decide.
You say bonuses as trap maybe because you did not know the full terms of the bonuses before you take it or because you think that bonuses is something that make you get bigger chance of making money.
If you are gambling responsibly and wisely, bonuses can be an advantage for you especially if you are not gambling merely to chase the bonuses.

[Shishir99]

Well, even though I posted in this thread before saying I do not like chasing the bonus and I do not usually do it, I just did it a few minutes ago, and then I ended up losing my entire deposit. LOL. It wasn't bonus chasing; I was trying to participate in a contest where I had to do something, but I ended up doing something else, and I was placing bets irresponsibly, which led me to lose the entire deposit.

Even thogh I did not follow my own suggestion, I would love to suggest others to follow my suggestion and not to chase the bonuses 
Is that an irony? I don't care

You're right, I learned not to chase bonuses and that's something that has guaranteed me to do things right. If they give me a bonus, well, I have no choice but to take it, but it's not my preference. I've always said that the best thing gambling can give us is to increase our chances of winning, because the odds and statistics aren't very encouraging But if it's about making a difference, I do it that way: not by chasing bonuses.

I agree to that, chasing those bonuses added pressure since you need to reached the treshold before you can enjoy or before you can withdraw such amount, bonuses might give extra chance but still the numbers still lack with huge numbers of wagering requirements, though we see those gamblers who still chasing some might win while others don't have such luck, but it's going to depend in a person's perspectives and how they believe with thier knowledge and luck.

You have a point, what's is worth chasing is whatever can increase our chances of winning and not bonuses because they are not what guarantees win at the end of the day. some gamblers chase bonuses because they prefer to use this than real money to gamble to avoid losing.

Not all casino bonuses are worth trying to get. Some casinos require mandatory verification, and if you’re not comfortable with that, then what’s the point of trying to claim such a bonus? As for high wagering requirements before withdrawal, I don’t think that’s necessarily complicated. In theory, any bonus can be wagered through if you really want to. The most important thing is that the casino actually allows you to withdraw in the end. When it comes to bonuses, casinos can sometimes act ambiguously and at their own discretion, may even block an account when a player attempts to withdraw funds.

In my opinion, the pressure is real, but it also occurs because of our mistake of placing too much hope in gambling. I believe that we would not experience any pressure if we did not start with a mistake in the first place. It's like there would be no smoke without fire.

This is the wrong way of thinking. It's okay to think positively, but we must also be able to see the reality that there are no certainties in gambling.

Ah, yes, I understand this technique. Well, I have to say that it is quite expensive because most of them require some sort of document verification. And it's not really nice to give around documents for a small bonus which among other things, if I remember correctly, you have to play multiple times before you can cash it.

So I would say that chasing bonuses is a complete waste of time.

For me it's more about just doing my own thing, if I get a bonus out of it then I will definitely make use of it to the fullest but that doesn't mean I'm there solely for the bonus, most times bonuses are prices you get in the process of the game, you get them every once in a while in casino games.
So what if a person is gambling for the bonus, will they be moving from one casino to the other to get the starters bonus because if you are not gambling on a site regularly then you won't be getting any bonus from them which means you still need to spend your own money if you want to get any bonus.

If we want to experiment and see what happens with our luck, and if we're players who really enjoy playing, then it's not a bad idea to accept a bonus now and then, just to see how it goes. Maybe we'll get lucky and manage to unlock 3x or 5x levels; anything is possible, but it requires a lot of patience and desire. However, for people who want immediate results, bonuses can become a nightmare.

Most bonus usually have higher requirements such as x35 and some offer low like x5 and x10 but on limited games only or they have low wagering count on games with high house edge to force user to play on low house edge games.

Although, there’s no harm in trying since we can cancel the bonus anytime we want if we feel that we can’t complete it already.

There’s some just rules on this bonus cancellation that deduct profit made too which is a waste since you take it already if the bonus was not activated.

[bakasabo]

If requirements were not as high as they are now, will it still be worth cashing bonuses? Lets say not x35, but x10. How much casinos usually offer? 100% to deposit? Extra free spins. Dont forget that casinos also have maximum bonus that they could give. Even with reduces requirements, it still look risky for the amount you can get as a bonus. Free spins by the way are even less reasonable to risk, as you can win zero with them.

I get your point. Before now many people look forward to the moments when therw will be opportunity for when there will be open slots for bonuses.  Because it will be fun, exiting and hope of you gaining something in return.  But its totally a different story entirely now. People are mostly not moved by adverts that even pups up. There's no fleer to push for bonuses because you already have the taughts of not having anything in return.
