More Bonuses = Better Online Casino?

[Wiwo]

A bonus doesn't automatically mean that a casino is better because there are also other features that one would have to consider before concluding that a casino is can be relied on. A casino can have a good bonus offer but the waging requirements can make it difficult to actually benefit from the bonus they are giving. With the level of experience that I have now I don't look at just the bonus, my major concerns are the customer support and the withdrawal system, what's the point of having more bonuses if these other aspects of the casino is total garbage then there's no point in having such bonuses. An experienced gambler would look out for other important things asides from this.

Very well thought, bonuses add no extra credibility or fantasy to the casino, the main goal of casinos bonuses is to drive market volume along the line and also to give players some extra layer of rewards for their time and money spent on the casino over the time.

Casino to stand out has a lot to do with features, unique games, special unconditional rewards and security or privacy of the player's.

I for once never a fan of casino bonuses because often times I never really make anything out of them other than time wasting.

There are things that I think are important to look out for while choosing a casino and not the percentage of bonus that is offered by a casino. I would prefer a casino that won't stress me during withdrawal even if they are offering a small percentage of bonus. There are things that should be checked before making use of a casino even if they are offering a huge percentage of bonus, such as the withdrawal limits, games that are eligible, wagering requirements and checking out for restrictions. A casino maybe offering a big percentage of bonus just to entice people, but the bonus is only useful if the casino has a clear terms.

I think all of those questions have been answered in the other thread[1] that's already been locked by the mods.

And everyone has the same answer that they don't care much at all with these bonuses.

--> [1] Do you actually care about casino bonuses anymore?

[Bright0515]

It's actually far from that, any casino can offer bonuses because that's not actually a Big deal but there are other things that are important but a lot of players don't really fix their attention on these things but after signing up to a casino because of the catchy bonus offers they end up noticing some flaws like slow withdrawals and a lot of other issues. It is funny how most players get carried away by the bonuses it different casinos without actually checking the wagering requirements that's stated In their ToS.

Bonuses are designed to attract players when they first try out a casino, and also because we are in a period where online casinos are springing up like mushrooms on the internet, offering a wide variety of games. For example, many offer generous welcome bonuses in the hope that players will become loyal to their platform, but ultimately it is a way of diverting attention away from other online casinos that may offer smaller bonuses. Another issue is deposits at gambling sites, because if a player becomes attached to an online casino and deposits cryptocurrency there, and the casino then closes down, it may disappear with the cryptocurrency that had been deposited. So be careful and only trust reputable casinos or those with a good reputation in the sector that have been in operation for at least six months.

Huge bonuses are method by which casino use to attract more users and then gain wider visibility.. It no longer a news about the existence of casino which are prone to scam and holding of folks withdrawals..And so even this shady casino can also adopt the same huge bonus strategy...If one focus is now only in the size of the bonus, then it may be impossible for that individual to even notice that the casino they are about to deposit in is very unreliable and untrustworthy with users fund in case when they are... Personally, I care little about bonuses and focus more on the casino's with good reputation as well as those with easy and fast conditions for withdrawals, deposit and whatnot...

Bonuses attract gamblers to a casino but may not be able to keep the gamblers in the casino for a long time if the wagering requirements are high and other features like  withdrawals,  customer service, interface etc are very poor, gamblers who were attracted to the casino because of bonuses will eventually lose interest and other for other casinos with good bonuses, good customer service, fair wagering requirements, quick withdrawals and other features that makes it more convenient for users.

Bonuses alone don't impress me, I go further to check all the conditions attached to the bonus (...es), once there are unfavourable conditions and other factors in te casino generally that will make me lose interest in the particular casino.

[Dunamisx]

You should not let bonus motivators influence gambling, because they mostly come with conditions as well, and this is more of a marketing strategy to encourage gamblers to have a first-time experience with a particular gambling casino. Therefore, go for your bonus, and you're ready to also not use this as your measure of identifying a reliable gambling casino, all in the name of what they stand for you, because this may just be their own promotional aim and not your own convincing factor in choosing them for gambling.

I've noticed that a lot of online casinos are competing with each other by offering bigger and bigger bonuses.

100% deposit bonus, 200%, free spins, cashback, reload bonuses, VIP rewards... sometimes there are so many offers that it actually becomes difficult to tell which ones are worth taking.

But does a bigger bonus really mean a better casino?

Basically, the most important things a casino needs are security and comfort, and next followed by available features or attractive promotions. The main thing is; you should prioritize the two main things I mentioned, and the rest (other than that) depends on each individual's perspective in determining which is better.

For me, security at a casino is the number one priority, and you can see this from their reputation. Secondly, the most important thing is user convenience in using the available services (especially for the withdrawals).

Regarding bonuses or promotions, for me, they are simply a casino's attractiveness, or maybe I could call them as a marketing. Well, I am not particularly interested to, and I rarely participate.

There can be other better factors than just that. But this depends on the gambler, if the gambler chases the bonuses he'd approve that with whichever give higher bonus is the better one. Although to me, this is debatable. What if that better casino which gives more bonus is giving you a hard time in withdrawal and they're not stable in their customer service? will that make sense on which is the better one? IMO, it's better to have that balance feature and service to all and that shall be called as the better casino compared to the worse ones.

Bonus are just a way of attracting gamblers  to gamble on a Casino and most of it are always having one or two rules.. I guess the more the Bonuses, the more or the harder  the rules might become.. Casinos aren’t doing some some sort of charity FYI lol.
 
More bonuses doesn’t mean better casino or a better casino to gamble on, the rules attached such as the wagering requirement specifically are what matter when looking into casino, specifically for bonuses..  

All these still doesn’t make a better/ reputable casino anyway.

When choosing an online casino, how important are bonuses to you? Do you normally check the wagering requirements first, or does a big bonus percentage still catch your attention?

I usually actually look at Reputation first especially when I am on this forum I am more aware of sites that have a good reputation so regardless of whether the bonus is big or not it will only be an addition that I will use especially now I don't really make this as a benchmark even though initially when I used to start gambling I always made this as a goal but now I don't consider the bonus to be something that is really the main choice because I know there is a price to be paid for it.

When the reputation is fulfilled then the bonus is just a complement for me. Not that I don't like bonuses because anyone certainly will not refuse if given a bonus but when the bonus is used as a comparison with the reputation I will choose a site with a good reputation first.

And would you rather take a smaller bonus with easy conditions or a huge bonus with tougher wagering requirements?

Bonuses are like the least thing I consider when choosing a new casino, most casinos' bonuses are really difficult to fulfil their requirements, and I have only been able to complete all of those things and get some benefits from it a few times.

If I am given the option to choose I would rather, go for those which have very easy conditions, even if the results or rewards are very small, it would be better than going through all that stress and then just ending up with nothing.

Most casinos offer bonuses and extra programs, of course, but I can't think of a single casino that is specifically known for its bonuses.
Even though bonuses might seem like a top priority for casino customers, I don't think they are actually that important. These bonuses are just there to draw in a crowd, and claiming them usually comes with a lot of strings attached. For me, a high bonus amount doesn't necessarily mean it's a better casino.
For me, too, withdrawing money is a top priority.

But does a bigger bonus really mean a better casino?

No. That is the obvious answer.
Always read the terms and conditions meticulously.

Bonuses are important but more important is the reputation of the casino and the real reviews.
Any casino can give bonuses and do promotional offers, and they know many people will jump on them without read the terms and conditions.

And would you rather take a smaller bonus with easy conditions or a huge bonus with tougher wagering requirements?

Yes.

[Versatile_choice]

Yes, I check the requirements before taking the bonus so that I'm sure of what I'm going into, bonuses aren't all that important to me, it becomes very tasky along the line and is more feasible to those who are ready to spend lots of time on the casino to be able to meet that requirement before withdrawing. I like it simple, I deposit and play within the limited time I've to spend there and withdraw if I've got winnings.

Personally, I don't look at bonus while gambling but that doesn't mean I can't make use of the bonus when i have it. And yeah bonus can be very tasky, in some casinos you will be ask to wager for like 10x or more before you can convert the bonus into real money. Imagine the time it would take before a gambler would meet up the wagering requirements, although in some casinos after wagering to some extent or maybe you have reach your gambling limit for the day that's for those gamblers that work with time. You can decide to quit maybe till the next day since the bonus will not expire in two days.

I guess the more the Bonuses, the more or the harder  the rules becomes..
More bonuses doesn’t mean better casino or a better casino to gamble on, the rules attached such as the wagering requirement specifically are what matter when looking into Casino . 

I agree with second part. But your first assumption is not always true. There is no fixed rule stating that any larger bonus entails stricter wagering requirement. Suppose there is 20x wagering requirement on $100 bonus, but house edge of qualifying game is 2%. On the other hand, $50 bonus come with 10x wagering requirement, but game has house edge of 5%. So, I wouldn't call  second option better just because of 10x is easier aspect.

At some casino while slot might count 100%, live casino game might only count 10%. In that case, actual amount of wagering generated by same 20x requirement will vary depending on choice of game. That is why I never look at headline percentage of any bonus. Key factor for me is expected cost of clearing this bonus.

[promise444c5]

Yes.. I missed that one word “may” FTN.

[xLays]

It depends, though on what kind of bonus the casino is offering. Some casinos offer bonus but the wagering requirement is something crazy like 100x just to meet the requirements and have the bonus credited to your balance. At that point, there’s really not much point in claiming it.

Some casinos offer tons of bonuses, but they’re so difficult to convert into real balance that they’re practically useless.

Jackpotter.com is different. Their free bets are different because you get to keep the bet amount as part of your winnings. Unlike most other casinos, where if you win using freebet, you only receive the profit and the freebet amount itself is not returned.

Chasing Bonuses from one casino to the other can actually lead to a lot of things, some players end up exposing their informations to scam casinos, in the long run chasing these bonuses isn't really Worth it. Just because a casino gives more bonuses doesn't mean that they are reliable, in Order to be sure that you can trust the casino it is important that you check for other things as well and not just for bonuses. Any casino out there is capable of doing this but not every casino can be relied on. More bonuses doesn't equal a better online casino.
