Online Casino Bonuses Made Easy
15 Jun 2006
In the days prior to the online casino industry, gamblers could pick and choose where to play at offline casinos, based on the extra perks offered to them in the form of free drinks, meals and even accommodation. After internet gambling came onto the scene, online casino sites had to think of ways to get clients to try their games and software and the idea of online casino bonuses was born. Simply put, gambling sites gave away cash in the form of welcome bonuses - anything between 100-400% of the player's initial deposit.
As online casino bonuses became more and more popular, smart gamblers would take full advantage, cash out the bonus and leave the online casino, thus defeating the whole purpose of getting gamblers to stay at the site. This called for online casino sites to become even smarter and this led to the introduction of wagering requirements. Simply put, gamblers have to bet a certain amount (usually 10 to 20 times the bonus value) before they are able to withdraw the bonus.
Another thing that online casino sites have done to limit bonuses is to exclude certain games with higher payout levels from welcome bonuses. Gamblers need to take a careful look at all the terms and conditions at an online casino before deciding whether the bonuses are worth pursuing.
