How to Get Started with Online Casino Bonuses

 There are many bonuses that online casinos give to bring in new players and keep old ones coming back.  If you know how these bonuses work, you can get more out of your online game experience and maybe even win more money.  Learn these things before you start.

 1. Types of Bonuses for Online Casinos
 Welcome Bonus: This is a bonus that new players usually get when they sign up and make their first payment.  This could be a 100% match bonus, meaning that if you pay $100, you'll get another $100.

 No Deposit Bonus: When you sign up, you get free money or spins.  Great for checking out a casino without putting your own money at risk.

 Free Spins: You can get free spins with or without a tip, and they let you play certain slot games for free.

 Reload Bonus: Players who have already deposited money get a bonus when they make another payment.  It's usually not as high as welcome gifts like a 50% match.

 Cashback Bonus: A certain amount of your loses are refunded to your account, usually once a week.

 As a way to thank loyal customers, casinos offer VIP clubs and cashback programs. These can include special games, faster transfers, and personal account managers.

 2. The rules for betting
 This is the most important rule that goes along with any bonus.  The wagering requirements tell you how many times you have to play through the bonus (or your deposit plus the bonus) before you can cash out your gains.

 For example, if you get a $100 bonus and have to bet 30 times its value, you have to bet $3,000.

 Always look:

 Multiple bet (20x, 30x, 50x, etc.)

 What kinds of games count towards bets?

 Expiration date

 3. Percentages of Games Contributed
 Not all games count the same when it comes to bonus betting.  As a rule:

 Slots: 100%

 10% to 20% on roulette and blackjack

 Live casino: Not always included

 In other words, if you play roulette, only a small part of your bet goes towards the requirements.

 4. Limit on the biggest bet
 The most you can bet with most bonuses is a set amount, like $5 per spin or hand.  You could lose your bonus and any wins that are linked to it if you go over this limit.

 5. How to Get the Most Out of Bonuses
 Pick bonuses that don't require a lot of betting (20x–30x).

 Choose slots with free spins that pay out a lot.

 Before you accept a bonus, make sure you read the rules carefully.

 Take a look at "sticky" and "non-sticky" bonuses.  You can get your cash back if you win with a non-sticky bonus, also known as a "parachute bonus."

 6. Do not make the same mistakes
 Do not think that all gifts are the same.

 Don't forget about the expiration dates; most things go bad in 7–30 days.

 If the terms don't say you can, don't mix extra money with real money.

 If you know how bonuses work, you can get more out of your money and increase your chances of winning without taking on too much risk.
