For many years, online casinos have offered their customers various bonuses. Thanks to this, you can earn extra cash, free spins, and other prizes. However, only someone knows how to get such promotions. We decided to show you how to use online casino bonuses.
Bonuses – gifts for players
Let’s start with what online casino bonuses are all about. They are special promotions that allow gamblers to get gifts from the casino. Bonuses work both ways. On the one hand, casinos gain new customers and encourage them to be more active on the site. On the other hand, thanks to them, players have a chance to win more, many more chances to win in online slots, card games, or live games. Bonuses can be divided into two types:
- for new players: if you set up an account at the casino as a new customer, you can claim your starting prize.
- for current customers: as an already registered customer, you can benefit from the promotions on the casino website.
What types of bonuses are there?
Online casinos can provide customers with various promotions. So we will list the most important ones.
| Type | What promotion is this? |
| Welcome offer | It is a promotion for new casino customers. You need to create an account, make your first deposit, and you will get your bonus. Sometimes there are welcome offers with several bonuses. |
| No deposit bonus | It is also a promotion for new casino customers. But here, you need to create an account only. For that and activating your account you will get a small bonus like money or free spins. Want to try it? |
| Reload bonus | It is a promotion for all players in the casino. It is very similar to the welcome offer. Your task is to make a deposit and claim extra money and/or free spins. |
| Free spins | These are special chips to be used on online slots. They allow bets instead of our money. You can claim them for deposits, bets, logging in, participation in lotteries, tournaments, missions. |
| Cashback | The casino may refund you some of the bets you lose. Based on the bets, it calculates the sum to be returned: 3, 5, 10 or more percent. |
| Lotteries | You can get lottery tickets for the bets or deposits you place, and at the end, you can take part in the draw of money or prizes. |
How to get bonuses?
In casinos, we have many conditions that must be fulfilled to claim the bonus. We will show it based on new customers:
- you must be an adult: by Polish law, each casino customer must be at least 18 years old;
- you must be a resident of the selected country: in many casinos, only people from selected countries can open an account;
- you must provide accurate information: in the registration form, it is necessary to provide current data about yourself – address of residence, date of birth. Usually, withdrawing funds from the account requires account verification where you need to send a photo or scan of your ID card;
- you must enter a valid phone number: account activation is often done by phone, so please enter your current number;
- you can not have two accounts: casinos prohibit having several accounts, resulting in the ban and bonus removal.
How to use your bonus?
How a casino bonus should be used mostly depends on the terms and conditions of the promotion. The casino first determines what and how much it can give us and how the bonus should be used. If you get free spins, they cannot be used on any game. Spins are assigned to a specific online slot. When you get a cash bonus, the casino may indicate that the money can only be spent on slots, live games, or any game. Always read the promotion’s terms and conditions carefully. You will also find out how long the bonus is valid and what the wagering requirements are. The latter is extremely important. 9 out of 10 bonuses have additional conditions to do. Bonus wagering means that bonus money or free spins winnings have to be wagered xx times in the casino. If you have 150 euros and the wagering is x45, then this sum must be wagered 150 x 45. The total sum of bets is a minimum of 6750 euros. You have a limited time to do this, usually 24 hours, 5 or 10 days.
Practice
A bonus is an opportunity to make extra money at the casino. You can use it correctly if you prepare for the game. There is a demo play option today at the casino and gaming sites. These are games identical to those for money, where the real game is simulated. Thanks to this, you will get to know the game, its mechanics and strategies better. It may help you in high winnings as well as wagering bonuses.
Choose wisely
Very often, it is good in the casino not to look at the bonus amount but what are the additional conditions to be done. Let’s look at the situation. One casino gives you a +100% bonus of up to 1500 euros. The second is only 100% up to 500 euros. However, the former requires wagering of x50, while the latter only requires 35. So where are you more likely to complete the additional conditions? Of course, everything depends on your bets and luck, but you have more chances with an x35 bonus than x50. Also, remember that a big bonus also requires a big deposit. If the casino offers +100% up to 2000 euros, then in such a situation, to get 2000, you also have to deposit 2000. The wagering of the bonus usually also includes the deposit, so you will have to spend the whole – 4000 euros.
It is good to check exactly how much you will get at the casino and what are the exact terms of the promotion. If possible, you can claim a no deposit bonus. It’s free, however, it only allows you to get a small gift.
