Do we have gamblers here who actively hunt bonuses?

[Oasisman]

I haven't tried it, but it definitely is a good start.
I think the people who will probably chase this kind of promotion are those high rollers or those transferring VIP accounts, as they normally deposit huge amounts of money. That means, they can also get huge amounts of deposit bonuses. But there are also extra risks involved, especially when a casino is relatively new. So, I don't think a lot of gambling whales are also doing this, instead, most of them will just stick to where they are playing or just look for an established online casino that offers the same.

I personally don't know whether this has become a habit for some gamblers, but I think most of us have preferences. We thought some casinos are provably fair and some are not.

I don't hunt for bouns , because I believe those bonus attract other things,there are a lot of Casion who offers such bonus ,so hunting it you will end up in so many Casion ,I used to be excited about it but not anymore again ,I don't gamble because of the bonus offer,placing your mind so much on bonus, you may  end up in different Casion site,and sometimes having access to it can be a little bit difficult,so it's best one don't chase or hunt for those bonuses.

Hunting casinos bonus is something I have never tried before, whenever new casinos come to the forum I always try them out not because of their welcome bonus or first deposit bonus i just want to try them out to see how they operate.

Perhaps, there are users who are bonus Hunters, whenever a new casino comes to the forum they go there to hunt bonus which is not bad, and their are users here who have benefited heavily from bonus hunting. There is a user here who have been benefiting from bonus hunting but I won't mention his nickname here for privacy reasons.

Exactly and it can also make one to become addicted to the game because its a trap that lure people into gambling and before they know it, they will start spending more time and more money into it. That is why I completely agreed with you that chasing or hurting for bonuses can actually damage their lives as things might be going the way they don't planned and casino bonuses has a unique way they do lure people into betting in their casino and if one its not careful enough, they can fall into their traps as they might scam them or makes their stay difficult one for them both in their withdrawals or depositing.

What if you are deceiving yourself? You might be trying out the new site not because of other reasons than the bonus. But if you are also trying the ones that does not have the deposit bonus, what you said might be true. There are many people that like bonus and because of that, try new gambling sites. I also do not like to go for the bonus but I also do not like visiting many gambling sites.

[Ziskinberg]

I'm not into hunting bonuses or bonus abuse because it seems to me that it only serves as a trap.

The fact that we should hit the strict wagering requirements first before betting, that's already putting the advantage to the casino especially that it holds no guarantees that we will win from it after. And most of the time, we lose all our deposits first before making any wins, so that's likely giving all out advantage to the casino and see yourself still losing in the end.

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.

Yeah I think it is really tiring of the policies surrounding the casino bonuses and the terms are usually like nothing goes for nothing.
You will always get conditioned about it, that is if you are given one.
It always look nice from the AD's but it is usually different experience with some kinda inconvenience rules after you have it.

So I am not surprised with all you have said to encounter because I have also had similar experiences and after then I lost interest in bonuses that even when I earn one, I don't stress using it except when my balance is empty and I just have to pass sometimes. Then I don't really have my 100% interest in the activity because I am playing with the bonus.

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.

Most of the new casinos likely offer great bonuses, not to give free money or whatsoever, but to make them more irresistible to the players or users. However, I'm also on the same concept that such bonuses are only made for their own welfare, not for us. And even if we manage to hit the wagered amount, the edge of the house will never be set aside. So in the end, we lose our money and lose the chances to win, while leaving the casino profitable.

However, most new players still fall on this trap. They don't mind the amount of their deposits, they just look forward winning the bonus, which not all the time it happens.

The point to all this is that any kind of gambling incentive will have probability calculations which will favor the house. It is imperative to ensure that you carefully read the terms and conditions to protect your capital. I concur that the danger of losing assets hastily can be reduced through the decision to work alone without temptation of being rewarded with bonuses.

[laijsica]

Many casinos offer deposit bonuses but you cannot actually withdraw the bonus amount immediately. It is recommended that you use the bonus amount. I used to take advantage of signup and deposit bonuses in the early stages of gambling but I lost interest in these bonuses because I did not have the opportunity to withdraw the amount immediately. I used to pay attention to bonuses but now I am not so much interested in them because I have the opportunity to use the bonus through gambling. Most of the time you cannot enjoy the free funds and have to spend them while gambling.

[Potato Chips]

Most of them are set in extra hard mode so I'm reluctant to take them lol. You'd need a bag full of luck in order to last haha. There were many times I would get good wins from a small depo and I have this anxiety that I'd just lose it all had I taken a depo bonus with 35-40x wager lol.

But I've gotten a couple of nice depo bonus—not necessarily for first deposits though. Talking about 4-5x wager, decent max win cap and no restriction on slot games which I took in a heartbeat lul.

[Hispo]

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?

It is not profitable. Even if someone managed to get money from those bonuses, they are statistically engineered so only a minority of gamblers gets to see some bucks from those welcome bonuses. The fastest people understand that, less time and money they will waste on shady casinos offering bonuses which seem too good to be true or exaggeratedly higher than the market standard.

Bonuses are only profitable for the casino, that is what they implement them and that is why they advertise them, otherwise they would not offer them.

There is no casino or service on this planet which happily hands over money to people. It is the kind of thing which mature gamblers and bettors understand from the experience of others.

[Body count4]

I used to. But overtime, at least in my experience I've seen most of these Casino bonuses look good till you see the crazy requirements for wagering and withdrawals. I only stick to Cadinos I already trust anyways so I only bother with promotions/bonuses there. If I register with any new site, it wouldn't be because of the bonuses they're offering. A bonus ain't the reason we're betting in the first place so why chase that? It's just a little extra.

[Cointxz]

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

I believe the majority of gamblers seek this deposit bonus especially those regular gambler and newbie since they can always forfeit this bonus if ever they don’t want to pursue it.

There’s no harm on activating it for trial then skip. However, being profitable is a different concern since all these bonuses was well calculated based on the house edge and volatility of casino games. Even if you play the lowest risk games still doesn’t enough to complete the wagering requirements without losing more than the bonus.

[yhiaali3]

Personally, I have never pursued such bonuses before because I believe they are not worth it and are merely advertisements to attract players to the casino, and they often end up not getting anything due to the difficult conditions for withdrawing the bonuses.

Gamblers often end up losing these bonuses and their deposit as well. Instead of getting the bonuses, they lose their money too. Therefore, it is better not to pursue such bonuses and to look for the real features in the casino.

[tread93]

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

Yeah, sometimes what looks like a great deal is actually not because the wagering requirement is just something too crazy to keep up with. Then you end up potentially having to spend much more and then you lose it and for what? For a bonus that drags you down under lol

[ArabBTC]

Well me personally i have received lots of bonuses, sometimes my different casinos will just gift me randomly, sometimes they give me bonus if i haven’t played for some time just to lure me into playing, however, this bonuses are hardly profitable i don’t know if that is the case too with others but from my experience any prediction i make using the bonus amount hardly works out, I end up losing, and i feel that maybe it could be because it is awoof money that is why i don’t take time to make a good prediction, i really don’t think that any serious gambler will want to be wasting his time pursuing casino bonuses knowing fully well that it is hardly profitable.

[Bitinity]

I tried deposit bonuses several times long time ago because I challenged myself to complete the wager requirement of the deposit bonus. It was like 1 success out of 10-15 tries, but I did not use big amount of deposit when I tried it because I know it is hard to complete the wagering requirement of the bonus. What we need to have in our mind is, deposit bonus is not created to make gamblers get better opportunity to win as it is actually giving us harder opportunity to make profit.

[fruktik]

Some casinos offer the opportunity to collect bonuses almost daily. Yes, the amount is only a few cents, but it's still nice. Everything depends on your account level. The higher it is, the greater the reward. So it makes sense to improve your profile. Of course, to do this, you need to constantly top up your deposit to reach a specific amount to increase your status. The admins offer this wonderful opportunity. It's not just a casino game; it comes with privileges.

Well its part of the marketing of any casino however users might be tempted in these offers and perks. Bonuses are one thing to be great as a benefit of a casino and likely one of the reason to used it.

But not for all cause sometimes the terms are usually in their favour. Youc can feel it if the bonuses looks transparent and not just some cash grabs or bait for us to use them. Spending actual bonuses might be good when you are new to platform cause it might change the perspective and feedback on their platform.
