Do we have gamblers here who actively hunt bonuses?

[bakasabo]

Will we read here at least few stories of a successful bonus hunt? So far people post that they either skip or lose money during hunt. Only few have managed to get bonuses, these were decent amounts, but nothing extraordinary.

It is interesting to find out, what is easier, to deposit and complete wagering requirement in specific game/slot/conditions to get +200% deposit bonus, or to deposit and double the amount while playing games you wish to play and as you wish to play them. Second option looks more attractive imo.

From my experience I don’t think you have the liberty to to choose your preferred bonus offer, you only get that the casino offers you and you have to meet the wagering requirements before you can actually use it. It’s just a way to keep players even after some have lost interest or have no funds to play again. Some time the terms and conditions to use the bonuses are difficult to win the stake bonus because you’ll have to follow a certain condition to use the bonus to stake a bet. For example I have a bonus if $10 on my Paripesa casino platform that I’m required to use it and stake on accumulated multiple bet of each game that is not less than 1.5 odd. that might sound easy to pick but picking three different games at odd above 1.5 odd isn’t that easy to win. The platform also will not allow you to use the bonus until your main balance is upto the bonus you have at the moment that not so cool some casino are not like this Dey allow user to use the voucher or bonuses even if you don’t deposit anything.

Gamblers that are actively hunting after bonuses, you can't expect someone like me to do so because I am not gambling because of this purpose but we definitely embrace one if I am being privileged to receive a bonus from my gambling casino, we should not see gambling as a way of chasing after losses or trying to recover from such by hunting after bonuses in their numbers to meet up with our financial obligations in life, things may only get more worse than before when we choose to go on this path with gambling.

Yes of course.
All gamblings websites have some options to get players. Each new player has a "cost" for acquisition based on marketing and bonuses (in gambling - western player - it could be up to 250 USD).

I have seen few topics about bonuses here in bitcointalk but following all options / contests can't be feasible.
There are many offers from the same casino/bookmakers... the best that deserve a chance are based in:
- vip transfers
- no deposit bonus
- odds increase
- free spins for deposits

Indeed as upon trying to win those bonuses you'll become a victim since you need to complete the required wagering requirements, and similar to what you said, it ends up a frustrating experience when you realize that you spend your money and your time trying to make some profits from that bonus offer but at the end the day you'll lose both your time and your deposit money.

Honestly, I realized this too late because I thought I'd use these bonuses to earn more, but in reality, it was just bait, which I fell for, made my first deposit, and started playing. Although it's worth noting that this was entirely my fault, as I was playing only hoping for luck and didn't consider the factors that would actually help me win. I didn't have a profitable strategy or proper risk management. But now I won't fall for this as I did in the past and will play calmly and with small amounts, understanding that bonuses are just bait.

Learning from that mistake would help you to avoid doing the same thing when there's new casino that will offer decent bonuses, though there are gamblers who loves seeking for their luck and maybe some do manage to take advantage, but similar to your experienced there are newcomers or those who's thinking that bonuses is just an easy access but in reality there are wagering requirements that too difficult to complete.

Aside bonuses, if casino want gamblers to remain active in using their platform they need to provide good customers services and ensure their customers are treated fairly. I certainly won't have a second thought to exit a casino or a betting platform with mischievous act like denying players their payout with unnecessary reasons or even their bonus. I've had an experience with a casino that after making my deposit to claim their bonus i was denied the bonus without any valid reason or explanation.

That's why one must pay attention or research about any casino they have not used before, if they actually wants to avoid being victim to the kind of casino which you described as not releasing customers payout, then the person must not only pay attention to the bonus that the casino is offering but must also be smart enough to check for casino reputation before they make deposits. Chasing bonus is not bad if you don't make deposit on that casino that you don't yet trust.

[YellowSwap]

Every bonuses from online casinos are offers right? We don't have the right to chose or ask them for what we want, I don't bother myself with bonuses but if they are available why not?

I still prefer free spins after deposits because slots is the most popular casino game that I prefer, so free spins here and there are very good but if you are to ask if I win something meaningful with free spins I will say no.

I don't see lots of successful wins using free spins, or have anyone had such experience in the past? I feel like free spins aren't the real deal because they

You dont get much bonuses if you are not depositing - that is how this works. The bonus is the appetizer created to make you deposit more. The more you deposit the more you are likely to lose while playing. Hence the casino wants that to happen so that they can keep their business booming.

So if you are hunting the bonus it is similar to spending on credit cards just to get the credit card rewards. Like spending 100$ to get 1$ back.

Dont chase the bonus rather play for the fun, once it stops being fun, stop playing for a while.

Maybe these gamblers that are always after getting bonus from casinos especially the news ones that are looking for new players on their platforms may have the time and the energy to be creating different accounts on casinos that are offering new players bonus and other rewards to keep them to continue using their casinos. This is a strategy casinos are using to convince and make gamblers to test and use their platform to play all sorts of games.

There are actually 2 type of deposit bonuses I have ever seen in this gambling industry.
First is deposit bonus where we get the bonus instantly added to our account but it is locked until we complete the wagering requirement.
While the 2nd is deposit bonus where the bonus is locked and will be unlocked once we complete the wagering requirement.
The 2nd one is rare to find but I tried it few times because it is better than the 1st type.

One of the strategies that casino employ in attracting new user is the bonus strategy. There are numerous player, who misuse it to benefit themselves, despite the necessity to form several accounts. I think that it is a very time consuming and energy consuming activity. It is more appropriate to play in a peaceful mode without a continuous pursuit of bonuses.

Most gamblers may not expect to receive a small bonus, but gamblers who have a lot of time may be motivated to join a new casino to get a signup bonus. Most active gamblers do not expect to receive a bonus, but I consider it a positive thing to expect. Some casinos offer a small bonus to cover losses, and I accept it with pleasure because even if the amount is small, it creates a kind of mental satisfaction on that casino.

I think those who chase bonuses may not gamble regularly and do not conduct their gambling activities in anticipation of this bonus. Many new casinos try to increase the number of customers without increasing the quality of the casino. Most of those casinos cannot gain the trust of customers because there are already many casinos that are very popular among gamblers.

[Achalugo BTC]

I agree with you. Gamblers should not gamble with the expectation of bonuses and with them because if a gambler reads the terms and conditions that casinos add more than once, they may not be interested in the bonus. Gamblers may not benefit much by becoming a member of the casino through signing up and fulfilling the requirements given by the casino for the bonus. Rather, I think that gambling normally and with discipline without expecting bonuses will benefit you from gambling.

You are right, as that will protect them from any future damages that might likely to occur, because if they center their minds just playing the game within they budget and are aware that one can't become rich through gambling, will help them know that hurting bonuses may likely lure them into problems and avoiding it as soon as they can will really be of help to them, as it will helps them to keep their emotions in check.

I’m sure that would be 100% agreeable if every other persons who are gamblers also had limited time like you, because from what I know, there are gamblers who don’t mind spending the whole day in the casino just to accumulate a few bucks from the casino and they sincerely don’t mind. There’s nothing wrong with casinos giving bonuses and promotional packages to their customers, but where I have issues with is when gamblers now use multiple accounts and other means to abuse these bonuses.

[Peanutswar]

These deposit bonuses is a catch to the gamblers most of them ive seen is like 100-200% deposit bonus and imagine the number of games you can play with that amount of money so there is a really chance that you might hit a huge amount and most of the trouble ive seen too with the users when it comes to withdrawal is they manage to hit a huge amount of wins and then the users cant withdraw their funds because the active bonus are still used and we know that this requires a deposit of the user to use and play as a wagered before they approved the withdrawal they are just preventing to abuse their system.

But in terms of bonus hunting, im done with that already instead im seeking for a trusted casino that offers a fast withdrawal and reliable support though as possible no KYC.

I'm almost certain that casinos closely monitor their cash flow, including how much they spend on bonuses, and they have a security system that detects whether players are trying to abuse these bonuses. I'm sure there's protection against such players, because they'll be permanently banned or prevented from withdrawing, and most likely, there will be pre-defined conditions for wagering these bonuses. In any case, I personally don't try to abuse this, because one account is always enough for me.

Actually, I would not say casinos are really spending money on bonuses because the bonus amount is only reflected in our account. It is not withdrawable until we complete the wagering requirement or meet the other conditions. In many cases, there is a good chance we will lose the bonus and even some of our own money while trying to complete those requirements. So until that bonus is successfully converted into withdrawable cash, I do not really see it as an actual expense for the casino.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I wouldn't blame those that are chasing after bonuses in gambling, the intention is to allow everyone have a free access to gamble as well as at any affordable stage, some gambling casinos ensure they do this to encourage gamblers commitment to the use of their platform to gamble, but I will always put it in this way that too much of everything is also bad because we cannot only depend on bonus hunting for gambling.

And that wagering requirement is simply a trap and thats why for  those people who are getting fond or get interested with bonuses on their first time then later on they would really be having those realizations that these bonuses are just that the easy way for you to get busted in the end of the line just because you cant really be able to hit up the wagering requirement and this is something given. If you arent that having that sensibility into the things you've been dealing on with then you would really be able to find yourself into a situation that you would be losing up even more. Getting bonuses would be ideal if you are just trying out to make your balance a bit bigger so that you would be having that longer gambling time duration on which you can simply enjoy with it, but if you are thinking about making fast withdrawals once you do make profits then not getting these bonuses would be your option.

Similarly, there’s a chance we might try a new casino site that could potentially be a scam. The usual bonus that people go after is, of course, the welcome bonus with a certain percentage increase from the deposit amount. If you choose the wrong casino, you might end up having an unpleasant experience instead of enjoying the offered bonus. 
Bonuses are definitely appealing to gamblers, but most gamblers might already be too comfortable at their favorite casino. They have bonuses according to their VIP level, which they can still enjoy.
