No welcome bonus at the start. Is it still a go for casino for you?

[Emjay24]

Look for a reputable casino, don't look for casinos with bonus and more.

He's referring to new casinos and from what I know, there's no other way new casinos grab the attention of gamblers without making then some sort of promotional offers. They're new and without reputation, so they need to draw prospective clients to their casino with various offers. Maybe after many years while and they've gained reputation, the trust of gamblers and good customer base, they can stop welcome bonuses and bank on their reputation for newer users.

After checking out a few new projects, the question stands out - would you even bother trying a new operator if it offered NOTHING for signing up and first dep?

Depends, I will not automatically say I will not try the new casino service, I will look first at what kind of service they are offering.  If there are some unique services, like games, a no KYC and yet fully licensed, then why not.  But I can say, if there is no bonuses like cashback or rakeback, many might get disappointed and will skip the new casino.

But that's not all... if a new casino offers BETTER RTP, no crazy wagers and solid games, is it enough for you?

Who would refuse a better RTP? Everyone will gladly gamble if the casino is offers better RTP, this means the player will benefit more in the long run.

But then again.. why would I pick a completely new operator, trust it, with zero bonuses when established ones are literally paying me to join?

There are some gambler that will try this new casino's service but majority will avoid it because the new casino has nothing that interests the player.

Would you choose a brand new casino with no welcome offer at all? or is that an instant skip for you?

It is not an instant skip, but I will be cautious about dealing with new casinos because their reputation hasn't been established yet thus there is this trust issue.

When almost every project is throwing welcome bonuses at you these days. Free spins, deposit matches, free bets, whatever. That it's starting to feel like we've gotten so used to getting free stuff that signing up without it almost seems useless and offensive

Personally I'd probably still give it a try if something about the brand, communication and the platform caught my attention. But then again.. why would I pick a completely new operator, trust it, with zero bonuses when established ones are literally paying me to join?

So what's for you ,fellas, are welcome bonuses actually a reason to choose a project or it is just something we expect by default now?

Would you choose a brand new casino with no welcome offer at all? or is that an instant skip for you?

While I understand where you are actually coming from, but as a good bettors you don't have to depend on any welcome bonuses not all casinos can sacrifice a welcome bonus but many did it , as a way to welcome there customers but if you are a good gambler you don't have to reason that , because you are actually going there to make money or have fun as we all know , there are many casinos company which there environment of playing there casinos is always interesting and welcoming you might not really lose in that kind of casino, but those once that give a welcome bonus you might not be there fans but due to the welcome bonus you always like to gamble with them , a good gambler will neglect any bonus given for free to make sure he uses his money to bet

Those flashy offer like 100-200% deposit match or free spin often come with such restrictive wagering or turnover requirement that, you end up losing your own money. Forget about any profit, this whole funding ordeal is enough to drive one crazy and make gamblers temper flare.

If I come across any casino that ditches those deceptive bonus instead offers better RTP, transparent term, rakeback and cashback, I'd much rather play there than get lured in by some pointless bonus.

Actually it is difficult to trust any new casino that has not any promotion. Cause you knoe this market is already dominated by established giant like Stake and some other casino. Which manage to retain loyal gamblers simply by offering cashback and rewards.

So, new casino definitely need some kind of unique value proposition and hook. So it would be foolish to skip any offer simply because there is no bonus, unless cashback and odds compensate for that loss.

[Bryan jessy]

One of the most attractive things about a casino is the bonus offer, there are thorns of casino in existence which made competition very high amongst them that is the reason some offers even higher bonuses just to get people to register with them, funny enough most persons do not even read the terms and policies of a casino they only look out for the bonus it offers and if it is attractive they jump in immediately to register and have fun, honestly people are used to casinos giving out welcome bonuses so any new casino that does not follow what others are doing to attract customers is not likely to grow fast in this space, the truth is some persons like free things and in something like casino it is necessary unless the new casino has a good review and reputation and has been tested and trusted.

[Makus]

Every gambler has certain features about a casino that attracts them, not every player uses a casino because of bonuses, as a matter of fact those that chase bonuses from one casino to the other are the ones that end up getting scammed. There is nothing wrong in trying to get bonuses but I don't think it should be a deal breaker for you to stop using a casino because there lots of things you might be missing out on, after all a bonus doesn't guarantee the players any win and just because casinos give bonuses doesn't mean that they are trustworthy.

You think it's enough? Then wait until another casino uses bonus promotion to collect customers from other casino that only relys on their good RTP and non crazy wagering requirement. The company in the gambling industry has increased, there are a lot of crypto casinos now and every one of them wants to attract a lot of customer to boost growth of their company, so they are the ones spoiling players with bonuses and people are now used to it. These companies are throwing bonuses because they want to gain lots of customers.

[Silikiem]

Most people are used to sticking with an old casino that they trust instead of seeking for a new casino. But if for a reason they decide to choose a new one then something must have triggered their interest about the new casino and for me a good welcome bonus is one of those things that can make me start using a new casino. But there are other things more important than just a welcome bonus as you continue to use that casino so I’m not going to walk away from a casino that didn’t have a welcome bonus if they can be able to offer a good reputable service. With the high level of competition in the casino industry today many casino’s without a welcome bonus will find it difficult to compete and attract users as against the ones with a welcome bonus. If I have to chose between two casino’s where one have a welcome bonus and the other one without a welcome bonus, I will choose the one with a welcome bonus.

I think most casino sites in the casino industry offer welcome bonuses for new users. Especially new casino sites that have just launched in the market offer incredible welcome bonuses to users. However, I think that the welcome bonus is not the most important thing when it comes to joining a good casino site. In my case, if I were to choose between two options -
1. A huge welcome bonus.
2. A proven and trusted casino site.

If I were to choose between the two, I would definitely choose the latter. Because there is no substitute for a reliable, trusted and trusted casino site for long-term success in casino games.
Since the chances of losing money in casinos are high, if we start using money in the wrong casino site, the amount of loss can increase several times.

To me, it's fine if they don't have a welcome bonus, I remember some casinos dropped theirs because they're barely getting regular players. Even if they do have one, it's usually impossible to clear and i'd rather not have an extra problem to deal with while I play.

The real dealbreaker for me is the VIP program. Whenever I sign up for new casinos, i'd usually check out their VIP program rather than the welcome bonuses, as it outweighs the rewards if I suddenly become a regular.

There are many cases where it can be advantageous to avoid welcome bonuses, at least when it comes to crypto sites. In my experience with fiat currency sites they are a lot more generous but in turn you're expected to submit your identity documents as part of the registration process - so they can be sure that they're only giving out one bonus per person. However crypto casinos are often in a rush to get people depositing and it's only later they might spring KYC on you. So crypto sites have a lower barrier to abuse from multi-accounting which means they cannot give the same type of bonuses, you're lucky if you get 5 or 10 USDT out of them. The deposit matching bonuses have such high requirements that they calculate that few people will reach them, as they're either time limited or you burn through your original deposit and the bonus amount before clearing the rewagering level required.

It's nice to have if they do that but it's not a requirement for how I choose a casino with.

This is true while it doesn't hurt to test the new ones if they are up for those bonuses.
Just don't put so much deposit in it and don't trust them wholly. But if they give some free deposit for testing, why not? there's nothing to lose.

There's a consensus that welcome bonuses are not that important. And it's interesting when there are new casinos in the community with or without something to offer for new users.

[M47AK16]

Casinos that do not offer a casino bonus are just like competing to lose.

What's the reason for running a business if they cannot keep up with the competition, so I believe even small casinos should still have a welcome bonus, in fact I believe they should offer more aggressive bonuses and promotions so they can attract more gamblers.

I will skip them although i normally don't avail the welcome bonus.

When reading your comment and most other people's comment here, I learned that many gamblers are always signing up on new casino and trying it but I rarely do check new casinos. Honestly, I wonder that how you people do get time to check new casino whereas I just do visit my favourite casino to place bet and then will spend time on my computer on coding or writing posts and in-between these I do rarely play slots or dice if I feel that day goes too vague. Probably I do not find those welcome bonuses are as free money but it seems that I am completely wrong.

I mean, if you know how to play and how to fulfil all wagering requirements then obviously you can get free money for your gambling activities and moreover if you gamble only for entertainment then welcome bonuses are one the easiest money to find all your entertainment but I misses this part completely so far but I learned how to maximize my gambling for free of cost and will execute all my learning given that I find some free time to gamble.

Just because of how casinos have developed the habit of giving new users bonuses just to attract more customers, some gamblers have seen it as something compulsory that must be given to gamblers.

If any casino doesn't give bonuses, it must be considered not a good gambling site. For me, I think scam casinos use bonuses to attract more gamblers, and considering a casino that offers bonuses can mislead one to fall into a scam casino. It is important for gamblers not to consider bonuses as the most important factor when looking for a casino they want to bet on.

The strategy of welcome bonus is very old now this deposit bonus is not liked by gamblers because everyone is aware of the fact that no one can withdraw money after fulfilling the wagering requirements that are there when making a deposit. There was a lot of hype about deposit bonus at one time now this issue is regular and one of the regular marketing strategies of every casino site. I also do not like deposit bonus because no matter how many times I have taken deposit bonus, I could not convert that bonus into real money. I have lost the money I deposited. And I think it is not possible for me to convert the deposit bonus into cash money. So I always deposit only my own money and withdraw the money as long as I feel like gambling.

When choosing a new gambling platform, I will definitely try to get some benefits, but my first priority will be whether I can safely withdraw my money on that gambling platform. If a scam site offers a lot of bonuses, then that bonus is worthless. I first have to have an idea about the platform. Then if that platform is trustworthy to me, then I will give importance to the bonus issue there. Even if a good casino platform does not offer bonuses, I will still use that casino platform. My first priority is definitely not the bonus but how reliable that platform is. And if I have to choose a new casino of the same level, then the bonus issue will definitely get priority.

I'm surprised to see that people are still falling to sign up to the casino because of bonus. Especially that of welcoming bonuses, it can be a marketing drive strategies to attract the public.
I've encountered several cases where player's expresses regrettably after being handicapped in the casino betting companies they barely knows about its reputation rather they were carried away over the bonus offers.
Some greedy ones may say yeah, I'm just gonna sign up to the site and without having to make a dime deposit I can play freely with some free spins.
Some also fails to read the terms of the site and get chocked of the bonus or withdrawal requirements.

New casinos need customers and the way to attract those players is through bonuses offers and the bonuses are shared into two categories which determines how gambler's treats those bonus.


1: deposits bonuses, this come in percentage as you make deposits:*


2: no deposit bonus, this comes with no deposit requirements and has to go along with how the players is ready to have some time on the casino.

[ArabBTC]

Anyone that have gambled for long won’t pay so much attention to welcome bonus, to me it shouldn’t be a yardstick to measure the integrity of a casino, what i look out for is the reviews, payout time and if the interphase is user friendly, i normally see welcome bonuses as distractions, bonus is free money, and one thing about free money is that you will end up not using it well since you didn’t struggle for it, it will even change your bet options at times and before you know it, you will leave the original game you wanted to play and book the wrong one that you will end up losing.

[Su-asa]

Gamblers rush new casinos because of welcome bonuses and that shouldn't be the reason of choosing a casino to gamble in . I am not a fan of bonus or new casinos. I prefer sticking to a reputable casino that has everything I need in a casino rather than, gambling in random casinos.

However, I can test a casino but not for the sake of bonus. I prefer to make my deposit and play with my own money in the start.

I agree, bonuses should not be the only thing that makes players attracted to casinos, gamblers that only focus on this area actually short sighted. Just like you said, i also prefer sticking to a reputable casino than just considering the bonus offers only, it would be unwise to use different casinos just to explore bonus offers. Playing with your deposit is alright as long as you are always making sure you stake responsibly.
