Do we have gamblers here who actively hunt bonuses?

[Sanitough]

We know that there are a lot of new casinos now, and even the existing ones are very competitive when it comes to promotions. Most of them offer deposit bonuses just to attract new players and make them try their platform.

So I’m just curious, does anyone here really focus on hunting these deposit bonuses and find it profitable?

I know some bonuses look attractive, especially when a new casino gives a big welcome bonus or deposit match. But of course, there are usually wagering requirements and other rules before you can withdraw. So it is not really free money. Still, maybe there are gamblers who know how to choose good deposit bonuses, read the terms carefully, and use them to get some advantage.

For those who have tried it, is hunting deposit bonuses from new casinos really profitable?

I have not tried to hunt such bonuses before, but I have coincidentally saw like 3 or more before. There was one gambling site that I deposited money, the bonus was 100% but it was divided into 10 places that I can use to gamble. I did not later use the bonuses because of how it was divided into 10. There was one I was given the bonus but I lost the bet because I had to win at least 3x of the bonus before I can withdraw, but I can also withdraw the bonus and the money won. There was a site that I will not be able to withdraw the bonus but I can withdraw the money that I won with the bonus. All of these were not becuase I was chasing bonuses. I do not like chasing bonuses, but If I see one, I can go for it. Despite the rules and requirements, it is still a free money used to bet.

Every now and then I sign up for a new account or take advantage of a promotion or bonus when I see that it’s a really good deal
But I don’t do this all the time

I find it hard to keep creating so many accounts and having my money spread out across so many platforms, and besides, it’s really important to keep an eye on the rules because sometimes the wagering requirements are too high, and you end up with your money stucked at the casino until you meet those requirements

What was the reason you were not able to withdraw the bonus? Was it because you did not meet the rollover requirement?

If that is the case, then I guess the casino’s decision was fair because bonuses are rarely given with no conditions. There is usually a wagering requirement or some other rule attached to them.

The problem is that advertisements often make the bonus look simple, while the important terms are hidden in the TOS. That is why bonuses can be difficult to use properly. I really respect those who manage to make money from them because it is not as easy as it looks.

For sure there is and one good indication on that is the casino frequently giving appealing bonuses to anyone. They won't offer those promotions if they know that no players will avail it.

Also they provably notice that once they give bonuses this make people decide to gamble back on their casino.

But for question about profitability? Its still unknown, but what common thing we could able to see here is those bonuses usually have huge wager requirements. Then those huge wager requirements is hard to reach that's why usually lots of people lost what bonuses they avail and maybe including their personal funds to.

What was the reason you were not able to withdraw the bonus? Was it because you did not meet the rollover requirement?

An example is a gambling site that gave me $25 bonus, i have to bet with the whole $25, if I use it to win $50 like with 2 odd, I will not be aboe to withdraw the whole $50, but only be able to withdraw $25 that I won, provided if I win. So I can bet with the bonus, but I can not withdraw it, but only withdraw the money won.

I like trying out new casinos just for the sake of trying them out, and especially when they have exclusive bonuses for Bitcointalk members, I like to take advantage of that, but I don’t go around searching for casinos offering bonuses and wanting to make a deposit just to enjoy the same bonus; that’s going to be exhausting and a big risk to take, especially with how some bonus offer requirements can be very difficult to meet.

I don't engage in such as hunting bonuses from either new or old casinos or the both, with my level of experience in gambling, I don't find this appealing and I don't think there is any way such activity will be profitable judging from the fact that most of such bonuses comes with exorbitant percent or x in wager requirement and this alone can easily drain both the deposited fund and the issued bonus, and most times may even require the gambler to make a fresh deposit to continue gambling towards reaching the wager requirement, at  the end of the day, you will discover that by the time you finally have reached the wager amount required to for the bonus to be released and made available for both gambling with and or withdrawing, you have spent money far more higher than what the bonus is worth.

But again, I possibly feel this way because I am not a gambling addict, those who are addicted to gambling will definitely love chasing after bonuses like this from casino to casino because it's what keeps them interested and glued to gambling.

Profitable isn't guaranteed, but sometimes it's really fun to try new experiences with a new casino. Some casinos also have different requirements for claiming welcome bonuses or first deposit bonuses. But most casinos actually offer almost the same bonuses. Some people might also take advantage of those promotions for certain benefits. But casinos should already be prepared with their systems.

I haven't actually done hunting for bonuses, but even I can tell that it's not profitable on the surface. Every new casino (including the old ones) that create these mouth-watering bonuses have a follow-up terms and conditions that must be met. Since you can't just directly withdraw these bonuses, there's a high chance that, without caution, you lose everything including your initial deposits.

On one casino, maybe it's possible.

I think the days of bonus hunting are over. And thanks primarily to the bonus hunters themselves  
Because the bonuses attracted many bonus-seekers who didn't want to spend their own money, such promotions ultimately proved unprofitable for the casino. Now, the bonus terms (wagering x10-x50) make it pointless to pay attention to them. Bonuses are probably still profitable, but you won't be able to earn serious money there, so don't bother trying for pennies.

[Russlenat]

Definitely not me, because I think chasing bonuses is mostly a waste of time and money, especially when the TOS is difficult to complete.

I had some success with bonuses before, but I really had to work for it. That was in sports betting, which I think is easier than trying to complete wagering requirements through slots or other casino games with a house edge.

So bonus hunting is not really my game. I would rather stick with the casino I already use because they sometimes hold competitions and other promotions. For me, that is better since I feel I have a better chance of winning there than from deposit bonuses.

[Accardo]

I've actually written about casino bonuses for some review sites, in the past, and I could say that the bonuses are great for the VIP members and loyal players, Deposit bonuses are worth looking on the VIP level, but on the flip of new signees or standard players, who go to casinos to fetch bonuses, like some reddit users do, it yields more playing time that is hardly rewarding. 

[bhadz]

I don't hunt these bonuses because it's obvious that there's a need to exchange for some wagering to get those bonuses. What I'm only getting is that the eligibility that the casino gives me like for example, of bitz, if ever there's an available one that suits me, without any requirements like some free spins or whatnot. I'm getting it. But to get those bonuses from them and new casinos, I don't have it in my mind and I can't fulfill the quests or requirements that they're asking for before receiving these bonuses. I like the generous bonuses that doesn't have requirements.

[POPOLUV]

It is obvious that some new gambling sites has to increase their bonus in order to secure in more gamblers to be staking their sports bet and cansino games or others related games with them and i think i have come across this kind topic before within this community, shall never the less, hunting for bonuses as a gamblers is not always good because there are some gambling sites that are not genuine based on what i once heard from a friend that was hunting for bonuses and one day he used the bonus to stake on the site and he was able to win a huge amount of money and since it is the bonus he used, he was not able to withdraw the money and from that day he stopped hunting for bonuses, i know that there are terms and conditions attached to a bonus depending on the kind gambling site, so with such experiences, i don't think it is good to hunt for bonuses as a gambler.

Not really tho, as for me I don't usually chase deposit bonuses because they often require wagering around 35x and up combined amount of the deposit and the bonus. However, if the wagering requirement is only 10x I'll give it a shot. So, it really depends on the bonus requirements.

Personally, I prefer bonuses where you place a qualifying bet and then receive a free bet afterward. Bonuses like that are much more appealing to me but I won't force myself to claim every bonus, if I think it's worth it then I'll go for it.

[Charcol]

Most of the time, this type of deposit bonus is accompanied by a mandatory condition to play slot games. Although I don't like to chase after this bonus. But I also took the bonus a few times. But I didn't get any good results. I lost all my money. I think the deposit bonus money creates a liability on your main money. Because at some point if you want to come out with a profit, then they impose various conditions on withdrawal. Due to which you have to continue playing again and eventually you don't come out with a profit.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

One thing that I have understand from casinos is that, in every bonus they give, it's just a few lucky persons that usually have good outcome from it, that's because the casino do not give the bonus for everyone to make profitable, if they do that, they will lose so much money and might not recover it through the campaign they did. Those bonus they give at times is just like a campaign to get more new registered users, although sometimes they give the bonus to treat customers too but most times it's a campaign.

[hyudien]

I used to do this a few years ago. When a new site came along and offered an attractive bonus, I'd immediately sign up to take advantage of it. But now I don't want to anymore. It feels pointless, or even leads to more losses. Because with too many accounts, every week I'm always curious or thinking maybe if I play on this site I'll get lucky, until I end up playing on several sites in one day. Now I've deleted those accounts and decided to stick to just one or two sites.

[Crypto_Timothy]

Well i mean deposit bonuses can add value for sure, but I don't think they are consistently profitable for most players. Casinos design welcome offers with wagering requirements, game restrictions and withdrawal caps that usually ensure the house still has the edge regardless. I feel like the people who benefit the most are those who read every term carefully and then compare offers to only claim bonuses with realistic wagering conditions but like even then, the bonus is more of a way to extend your bankroll than a reliable source of profit.
