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

[Hypnosis00]

We think it wasn't really the usual thing we saw for a new casino. We believe that having those bonuses, rewards, etc., makes the casino win and gets public attention. But this is not how we measure it because the one that delivers satisfaction wins. But there is one thing we missed. Some casino offers of fancy bonuses end up being scams.

Perhaps this was not part of their initial strategy, but it could be included later. Or maybe they only offer what they can truly provide.
I respect their style either way, and it seems interesting.

As my personal choice, I do not  see bonuses for me to sign up and try the casino. I barely use welcome binuses due to wagering and i dont want to tie my money with that.
But, As a marketing to sell you platform you need to give the best promo for new comers. You are in a field where so many competitors offer huge discount and bonuses and any customer will not come to you.

No denying, bonus is one thing that actually makes a casino stands out among its competitors but there are far more important things to consider when choosing a new casino other than just bonuses because there’s every chance that even with the said bonus offers, you might still end up getting scammed or when is time to make withdrawals they keep giving you different excuses and exhausting and tiring withdrawal process which could be very frustrating and disappointing. I’m not depending on their bonus before wagering on any casino games, I already have a budget so whether there’s a welcome/sign up bonus or not, what I’m only interested in is the trust and reputation of the casino to offer quality and reliability services.

This should be our major point of concentration when we want to join a new casino and not the other way round. Because most of this gambling platforms are in fond of doing this just to call players to their platform, and it pains me when people jump on every money not minding it cost, and how much pain it can bring. However,  reputation of a casino is what matters most to me and not bonus. Bonuses are only regular ( everyday) and can easily be misleading when entrusting a brand. I believe I have seen it on a daily basis, any body can just come up with some spicy bonus just to win your trust and later strike you of your hard earned money. But reputation is basically earned overtime through long term good service and no past record of anything shady.  Hence, it is ideal we chose wisely when entrusting a casino, don't see bonus as your best interpretation of a good casinos else you will learn the hard way sooner or later.

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?

It is a bit odd: for a casino to offer no bonuses to new users or first-time depositors. I have never seen a casino, that doesn't offer such bonuses.

Honestly, I don't really care about bonuses like the OP mentioned. What attracts me to try a site is its popularity, and trustworthiness. Furthermore, I am also attracted to casino sites that actively serve their users and potential users, as this indicates they are trying to build a good reputation. Personally, I have signed up at casinos without taking any bonuses, and I have also done the opposite.

[Somegory]

I'm not a fan of casino bonuses and mostly new online casinos, I like the first time deposit bonuses but it's even hard to win anything good with bonuses and so far it's like a advert to bring in new people.

This is something that online casinos can't do without, especially the new ones, but I have been very pleased with old casinos that I am presently using right now, there is no reason for me to try finding something new.

To answer OP's question it is still a go for me without the bonuses.

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?

In fact, in the current context, people are more inclined towards gambling and are more inclined towards this welcome bonus offer. Moreover, I think that most of the people who gamble now are attracted to gambling by seeing the advertisements that are advertised on various social media through mobile advertisements and seeing some attractive bonus offers in the advertisements. They are attracted to gambling and run after bonuses, which is not right because they should use platforms that are trusted by people and should not run towards all casino platforms because most casinos cheat people. I do not run after casino bonuses. Even if there is no bonus on the platform where I gamble, I participate and continue to do so.

These casinos knows that it will look like they are not serious if they do not offer any welcome bonuses, so since it's not from their mind, they put an unrealistic wagering requirements added to it, so that anyone that really wants to claim them must suffer for it, or better still lose a lot of money in the process of trying to unlock the bonus. And it's only few people that understand that bonuses with high wagering requirements are just trap that will benefit the casino either way. So it's because of that, I am not obsessed with bonuses, because the wagering conditions that is always attached to it makes it not worth it, that's why I gamble with any casino that I think is good and worth my time.

How much is even bonus that casino gives that will make one to be running over for when it's not worth it. The bonus are capped because they are mostly abused and you have to make an amount deposit before you can be eligible. All the stress just because I want to use bonus that I'm not sure about my prediction. I will rather make my deposits, play what I want to play and go my way. I will have nothing to worry about incase I win because bonus comes with some terms.

There is this way of bonus that I so much like, the one they gives you bonus based on your activity on the casino. Sometimes I get bonus from casino after gambling a while and this is because they missed my presence. Those are the kind of bonus I want to see after the casino has access your bet history, the deposit and withdrawals that you have made within that period, they are more fun to use than welcome bonus.

Yes, because I don’t pay any attention to those bonuses. I deposit, I bet, and that’s it. If a bonus offer pops up, I check the wagering requirements, and I usually give it a miss as they’re too high. As I can see, I’m by no means the only one. It’s a well-worn topic on this forum that bonus aren’t usually worth it.

[Cityhunter34]

If you want your gambling activities to go smoothly without any problems, then you should stick to one casino and gamble responsibly.

Bonuses are not always trustworthy at all, because there is no way a casino would give you a bonus without making things difficult for you, and you wouldn't have any option but to accept it. That is why we don't need to bother ourselves about bonus offers when gambling.

if a new casino offers BETTER RTP, no crazy wagers and solid games, is it enough for you?

As a casual gambler, I don't care about any of those traditional bonuses ^{[some of them seem like a trap to me]}, so if there's a new casino with the above things while also not having ridiculous withdrawal & KYC requirements and decent fees, I could at least consider it for testing purposes ^{[I'm not a frequent hopper, so I tend to stick to one or two casinos at a time]}.

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

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

Some gamblers rush new casinos because of the welcome bonus and that's a means of luring players to new casinos because no player will want to leave a casino that offers welcome bonuses to the one that doesn't offer as everyone is trying not to risk his personal money in course of getting bonuses while it's very available on the casino.

But all this bonuses that we see displayed are not truth worthy and casino will make it very difficult with so many terms and conditions attached to it that you can't even get access to it and because it's just a free money given they make it so complex to access some are just unreal and I will advise the players to remove their mind from it and just go ahead to Play their normal games with their money because you can't actually access the welcome bonuses with rigid rules and conditions.
