CASINO BONUS

When you register and open an account at an online casino, you usually get a casino bonus. This casino bonus is usually related to the amount of money you deposit. For example, a casino bonus that is 100% up to £200 gives you double up to a maximum of £200. If you deposit £50, you get £50 to play for. This differs from site to site and changes all the time. The latest bonus offers can be seen here on the right in the picture or check out the page where we list all online casinos here.

We will now review a guide for how a casino bonus works, how to get your bonus and what requirements there are.

  • Choose an online casino

When you sign up for an online casino for the first time, there are a lot of things to keep in mind. We recommend that you choose any online casino featured on our top list. These casinos are thoroughly tested and we play on these online casinos. Then you know it’s a safe and safe choice and you can really withdraw your winnings.

  • Open an account

To be able to get your bonus, you need to open an account through any of our links. We recommend that you check out our online casino list and choose any casino from there. There we also list all bonuses. Click on the online casino you want to start with and then it’s time to register for the first time. If you are not directed to a page where you can register, search for a button called “Open Account” or sometimes “Register”.

  • Fill in information

Normally, it usually looks like in the picture below. You enter your username, email and password (keep in mind that different casinos have different rules for the number of characters and upper and lower case letters) as well as your mobile number. This is a common part of the process since online casino has been much more committed to following the laws and regulations that exist. Most online casinos will send offers to your email, but it’s unusual for them to call you. You can unsubscribe from all of this in a later date if you wish.

  • Deposit

Now you can do your first deposit. Below you can see the most common payment methods. See the rules for the welcome bonus. The most common thing is that you double up on your deposit up to a certain amount. Some also split the bonus into, for example, four deposits.

  • Play

Now you can start playing the game that you think seems fun, be it Slots, Black Jack or Roulette. On the other hand, keep in mind that with all bonuses there will be some wagering requirements. More about it a bit further down. But overall, it’s faster to cash in the casino bonus if you play slots instead of a table game like Roulette.

WAGERING REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

Online casinos use wagering requirements and other types of restrictions to protect themselves against the bonus they give you. You can not just deposit 1000kr and get 1000kr to play for then withdraw it instantly. Then everyone would deposit 1000kr, get 1000kr and then withdraw 2000kr. So it is quite normal with wagering requirements, etc. But different online casinos have different requirements.

WAGERING REQUIREMENTS

How does it work with wagering requirements and what does all the different terms mean? Wagering requirements can be displayed, for example, as 35 times or 35x which means that the amount has to be wagered 35 times. If you get a casino bonus of 1000kr then you have to play for 35,000kr. It may sound a lot, but if you sit and play for a while, you will reach that amount pretty fast. What to look for is whether the wagering requirement applies only to the bonus or the deposit plus the bonus. If it is the last one, then it will be 1000kr + 1000kr times 35 (standard wagering requirement), which means you have to wager 70,000kr which is a big difference.

RESTRICTIONS

The most common thing is that the casino bonus mostly applies to slots. So if you play spins for a total of £500 you have also wagered £500 of the total amount you have to wager. Table games like Roulette and Black Jack are usually different. There may, for example, be that only 10-20% of your wagered amount counts towards the bonus. If you play for £500, it may be that only £50 is counted on the wagering requirement.

We will go through more on how everything works below.

SLOTS

If you want to chase the bonus, slots are your best bet. Here you usually receive 100% of the amount you pay for the wagering requirement. Usually you may play with quite a small amount of money per spin so it may take a while. As far as I know, people who likes slots can sit in front of the screen for hours, so this should not be a problem.

TABLE GAMES

Imagine that you only put your money on red all the time. The statistics show that red will win about 50% of the times (ca = there is the green zero too). Since the bonus you are allowed to play does not matter if you win or lose, only you play, you could stand and stomp for a long time on the same amount of money, but the wagering requirement continues to tick. Therefore, the casinos often limit so that only a certain amount of money you wager on table games is counted. Usually 10-20% and this varies from casino to casino.

Risk-free Games

You can think a step further and play almost risk-free games. Say that you put the same amount on both red and black. Then you will most likely be able to stand and stamp at the same amount all the time because you should win every time. Why do I write the word should? Well, you have to take into account that the green zero exists, which means that statistically you will lose every 37th time. Such games usually do not qualify for the wagering requirement so there is no point in cheating.

Bonus Categories

When it comes to casino bonuses, there are a few different variants and they come in different shapes. Below we will explain what casino bonuses there are and their rules. If something is unclear, you are welcome to contact us. The support at each online casino can also help you with questions about your casino bonus.

Cash bonus

You can withdraw this bonus, that is, once you have achieved the wagering requirement, you can make a withdrawal from your casino account to your regular bank account. Provided that you have not violated any rule in their “Terms and Conditions”.

An important thing to keep in mind is that if you make a withdrawal before reaching the wagering requirement, you can lose your bonus. For example you deposit £200 and get £200kr in casino bonus. You have only wagered your casino bonus 30 times and the claim is 35 times. You still choose to withdraw your £200kr or part of it. Then the casino may take back all or part of your casino bonus. Pay attention to what applies to the respective online casino.

STICKY BONUS

A sticky bonus can be explained as being unable to withdraw this bonus, but all winnings you make with the bonus you cn keep. Let´s say, for example, that you get a casino bonus of £200. You play for these £200 and win £50. You now have £250 in your account. You can not win the first £200 you received, but the £50 you won can be taken out.

Pay attention to how this sticky bonus works. In some cases, if you withdraw your win, you will also lose your bonus. In other cases, you will keep your bonus and can continue trying to win with it. Again, read the terms of the bonus.

SUMMARY

Is casino bonuses good or bad? There really is no good answer to this. Overall, nothing is dangerous with casino bonuses. There is no direct negative effect to it except the psychological negative effect of believing you have more money in your account than you actually have.

Some choose to scoop the bonus, but I would recommend playing as usual and if you reach the wagering requirement, that´s great.

Some tips regarding casino bonuses

  1. Do not make withdrawals too early as this may cause the casino to remove your bonus
  2. If you want to chase the bonus then play slots. Table games take a very long time. (Have only managed once to achieve the wagering requirement through table games)
  3. Look for casinos that give you bonuses for multiple deposits in case you fail the first time to get more chances. Many casinos give you eg casino bonuses up to the fourth deposit.
