I looked into 8 types of casino bonuses. Here's what I found

[EluguHcman]

Predictable stuff like rakeback feels safe and steady. Races and raffles add a bit of hope and competition..
Jackpots are pure adrenaline though, that tiny chance of a huge win is what most people actually dream about, even when the odds are terrible

Yeah nowadays you get daily, weekly, monthly, I think that is okay,,, the raffles you never really have a chance if you are not a whale. Never won one, also same with Jackpots but I do not play slots. I like Jackpotter's boxes, also a small rakeback in a way. Also appreciate the freebet small comps on forum with some casinos,,, very nice bonus just for being active on forum  

In fact every of the service offers in the casinos are all dope 👍 as far as they are free offers or rewards that players has to qualify to earn it.

Some people may also consider platforms that offers the rakeback with some after the percentage of bonuses returns in their first deposits.
Cash out is also a means that is found an interesting feature in the betting system which also catches others interests and many more unmentioned services that may be just marketing strategies for those companies.

Of all, there is non that is as much interesting to players than hitting the jackpots while we all also wishes to set every huge winning records.

So, which bonus is actually better?

The one with low wagering or even no wagering requirements at all are better, I don't really take a look for rakeback or cashback since I'm not a big player. Lossback bonus may be worth considering since it will cover my losses just like cashback but as far as I see lossback will cover all my bet especially in sports betting.

Maybe you can also add fortune wheel since some casino offer it as their bonus and if the rewards are good enough to make it worthwhile, I'm willing to give it a try.

Maybe it's already part of the raffle bonus? Are "fortune wheel" considered raffle or perhaps it indeed belongs to another bonus category? The way OP describes raffle it seems "fortune wheel" is another type of bonus. Perhaps we can include in this category bonuses like free spins, free bets, and the like.

Personally, I think what makes a bonus worthwhile isn't the reward but the wagering requirement. Even if the prizes range only from $1 to $5 if all you have to do is spin that wheel, it's worth it. But if the prizes range from $50 to $100 but with a wagering requirement of 40x, and on top of a very limited game selection, I might not waste my time.

The best bonuses IMO are the regular drops (monthly, weekly, pre-monthly, etc.) from VIP rewards, but the amounts may vary by rank. I wouldn't mind raffles and reward pools, if only there were a limit on how much each user can get, because it can quickly turn into a wagering contest.

You can also get some bonuses by participating in a casino's community forum, a few of them give out rewards over there and it's almost similar to chat rain but without the need to wager.

Another thing to consider is whether the bonus really gives any value. If you are going to play for that amount anyway, then getting some rakeback is a bonus. If you are increasing the time you play for or the amount you bet to get the bonus then you may well be risking far more than you are gaining from the bonus. I would look at how much I am getting back in comparison to how much I have had to bet to gain it.

We all know that these bonuses sometimes don't mean much to players who have already lost far more than what they receive through rakebacks and other rewards. The main problem is that some of them come with very high wagering requirements that seem almost impossible to meet. They basically favour the casinos while making it look like they are giving something back to the community or their players.

The rewards pool is another tiring bonus that I don't really pay much attention to. Competing with the top players for a share of the pool can be difficult because you may end up betting more than usual just to catch up with the leading players.

Can't agree more!
This has been the most effective way to keep the players more engaged and spend more. The bonuses the casinos offer is just a small portion of the total accumulated profit coming from the players, but that's the least the casino can do. Most established casinos are now in competition by offering various kinds of bonuses and several promotions/advertisement. The casino who can think of unique way of giving out bonuses or massive amount of raffle prices, will probably sits at the top. So, that means, more money flowing in.

Lol, I liked this type of casino bonus where you get lottery tickets. Funny, right? You're offered a bonus that, in the vast majority of cases, isn't really a bonus, since 99.9% of lottery tickets lose. Nevertheless, it's a very good marketing ploy to attract users to the casino, and it most likely works very well. Moreover, and this is most important, a lottery ticket may cost the casino almost nothing, since most lottery tickets are just empty air.

If I had to pick my favorite kind of bonuses, then I would say Rakeback, Raffles and Cashback are my favorites ones.

When it comes to rakeback and Cashback, they feels like "safe" money after having an extended gambling session on ones favorite casino. While raffles offer an equal opportunity for everyone to win money, regardless of the size of one's pocket and bankroll.

My least favorite would be races, since I don't have the capital/bankroll to actually compete against whales, which have millions of dollars at their disposal. That is why I decide not to partake in races.

Ya I hear ya, me neither but it sure does sound fun doesn't it? Its definitely a wild concept to grasp that someone with loads of money will just gamble it away in pure fun

[bitbollo]

It could be considered a bonus once a player is invited to join or receive a bonus after registering (likewise VIP transfers).

it worth a mention, the "investment" bonus one site some years ago has presented an "one of kind" bonus.  it was an "interest" paid every hour, possibly even to compound - minimum of 15% per YEAR!!!
The funny part was the math behind that was effectively paying proportionally based on "player" deposit or player status.
At the end, after awhile they have wasted their reputation (and even changed brand/name).  I never heard a scam about this aspect and has been really working even with a large deposit.

Preferably, I like rakeback and cashback but I am open to any kind of bonus despite how hard it can be to pass the requirement of some bonus like the no deposit bonus, I still like to try my luck and sometimes I could be lucky to get a good reward irrespective of the bonus type. Maybe I am not so aware of this but to be able to get a raffle and race bonus depends on luck since every participant have their respective luck based on random selection, so I don't get it so often but rakeback, cashback, deposit and non deposit bonus is very common for me to get, winning is the problem.

Bonuses are very interesting and they are what casinos use to keep us engaged, a lot of gamblers look forward to them and they will wager just to be eligible for these bonuses not minding whether they will be among the lucky ones to get something out of them. It is good to understand the different types of bonuses and know the ones that you are comfortable with, it doesn't have to be the popular rakeback and cashback. Just be sure that you know the requirements that it takes to be eligible for rewards, still nothing beats gambling with your own money that is where the real thrill is for me.

One of those type of players is me. I think bonuses for me are a total waste of time, because there’s actually no way I can be able to make my money back through them. If the casino is serious about compensating me for my losses, then they can at least send back half of my losses back into my account, but if they can’t do that, then they should keep their bonus, because in reality, the bonuses ain’t actually to compensate you, but to actually give you a reason to play more even if you’ve already lost a lot.

Lol, you were very hard on it. However, bonuses are absolutely no compensation to be honest because they are more way of making gamblers lose more to the platform without notice. I can understand your sentiment and your point that if they can credit you half of all the money you have lost so far on the platform, then you will acknowledge they care so much about you or any other player otherwise they don't. But you know what, no casino will want to go that far even if they claim to care so much about your lost. Remember, casino's are aways business minded at all time so doing that will only explain lost to them and no business owner will want to put his business into jeopardy all because he's trying to prove a point.

 Therefore, it is wise for every gamble to know his limit and ensure he didn't exceed it. Otherwise our constant lost are the reason they're (casino owners) still in business till date.

Everyone has their different preferences but I am someone who wouldn't go after any bonuses if the requirements are too hard, I will pass them for another or won't look into them at all.

It's really not a must to go after bonuses but I can't say no to freespins, rake back and meaningful deposit bonuses that I have encountered in the past, the requirement should be mid not hard.

Many people are interested in gambling, but everyone has different ideas because there are many ways through which they can earn money. It is a good thing that you do not go after bonuses because greed always kills a person and this leaves the destruction of his loss. Bonuses are obtained automatically if you gamble more and play the game according to the place where the bonus is being given and remove the bonus from your mind, then you will easily earn bonuses. This is common to everyone, but from this you will understand that if it can be obtained repeatedly, then how many times the necessary bonus will be obtained, so greed creates the hope of investing more money in gambling and earning.
