How to Identify the Best Casino Bonuses

How to Identify Top Casino BonusesAs I mentioned in my previous post, one of the major advantages of playing at an online casino is the generous bonuses that are up for grabs. Pretty much all operators will provide a rewarding bonus to entice you to join them. Yet if there are so many to choose from, how are you supposed to know which offers the best deal? Well for starters, you should know that the bonus amount is not the most important factor. The biggest bonus amounts do not necessarily provide the best value. All casino bonuses have certain conditions attached to them, and it is only by understanding these that you will be able to identify the ones that provide the best value for money. Here I will fill you in on the key criteria that you should use to identify the best bonus for you.

Wagering Requirements – Given that operators offer a bonus to encourage you to play at their casino, they add a wagering requirement to ensure that you do not simply withdraw your bonus straightaway. This basically means that you will need to play through the bonus a certain number of times before you can withdraw it. It is important to understand this condition before accepting a bonus to avoid any nasty surprises further down the line. If you try to make a withdrawal before you have fulfilled the playthrough requirement, you could forfeit any remaining bonus you have. What’s more, you could lose any winnings made whilst playing with the bonus. The wagering requirement varies from one operator to another. There are some with a low requirement, such as 10x, whereas others can be as much as 100x. Therefore, you should opt for a bonus that has a reasonable wagering requirement that can be easily achieved. Generally speaking, the lower the wagering requirement, the more favourable the bonus is for players.

Contribution of Games – There are a couple of points worth considering when it comes to games. For starters, when wagering real money in an online casino you can play whatever game takes your fancy. Yet when you bet with bonus money, there can be some restrictions on the games that you can play. Therefore, you should check if there are any excluded games before accepting a bonus. After all, if your favourite game is excluded, then it is probably not the right bonus for you. Secondly, you should be aware that not all casino games contribute fully towards meeting the wagering requirements. Generally speaking, when you play slots, every bet you make will count entirely towards meeting the playthrough requirement. Yet games with a low house edge usually only contribute a small percentage. Therefore, if you intend to play say roulette or the popular card game blackjack, you should look for a favourable weighting that will enable you to fulfil the wagering conditions more easily.

Time Limit – Given that you need to play the bonus through a set number of times before making a withdrawal, it is really important to check if there is a time limit attached to the bonus. Many casinos set their bonus validity at 30 days, yet there are some offers that may only be valid for 1-3 days. There are even some operators who do not place any limits on the bonus, allowing you to meet the playthrough requirements at your own pace. Therefore, you should consider how often you are likely to play casino games, in order to find a bonus that gives you enough time to benefit fully from it.

Why Online Gambling and not Land-Based?

Online Gambling Sites Explained and Compared to Local CasinosBack in the day, gambling meant so much more than just quicker means of making money. Gambling, whether in casinos, horse tracks or bingo halls basically meant getting all dressed up and the main attraction was socialising and making new friends, sometimes even a date for the night. Now, when I feel like playing, I can’t think of a reason to go to a local casino. OK, land-based casinos are stylish and really posh and you can meet a lot of new people, I’ll give them that. But when compared to the comfort of playing from your own home, brick and mortar casinos will always come second.

First of all, safety always comes first and all casinos that cater to Brits have a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. But that is not by far the only safety guarantee. Almost all gambling sites bear the safety seals of international organizations such as eCogra, McAfee, GLI and others. ESSA, on the other hand, is a non-profit organization that oversees the proper relationship between operators and players and helps solve any disputes that may occur. As far as your banking details are concerned, you can rest assured that they are in safe hands, as all transmitted data is encrypted and stored on secure servers.

Now that we got safety out of the way, so to speak, let’s have a look at some of the other advantages of playing online and why not start with something you won’t get in brick and mortar locations – bonuses. That’s right, not only is gambling on the Internet convenient and cheaper (no travel, parking or other accommodation expenses needed), but it is also much more rewarding. As soon as you join, you will be greeted with a deposit match offer, or, if you are really lucky, even a no deposit bonus. This means that even before you make you a deposit, you will already have the funds to play with. And even if the offer is connected to your deposit, you will be surprised to find that these offers are more than generous and you will have a lot of capital to try all of the hundreds of games that they feature.

Yes, this is yet another advantage – variety like you will find in no location on earth, be it in Asia or Las Vegas. Just imagine having around 600 games to choose from, among which almost half of them are usually slots. Classic slots, fancy slots, progressive slots! You name it, they have it and you can play them on your desktop computer or on your mobile devices, thanks to the ongoing development of mobile apps. So, my friends, I will leave it up to you to choose where you want to play, but you just can’t go wrong with online gambling sites.

Time to Say Hi!

onlineI have been meaning to start my own blog for a while now and today that time has finally come. I surf on the Internet a lot, since it is a crucial part of my job and not only, and I have to say in all honesty that I am not always happy with articles that I read online. Many of them not only lack style and substance, but the writer’s voice is so faded and impersonal, that sounds like an automated response. Yes, I know that true professional reporters have to state the facts as they are, but I always like to hear his opinion on the matter. This is why blogs are more my thing than news sites.

If you think about it and if you’re honest, everything you read online has an impact on you, whether you realise it or not. If you read about the latest iPhone and its features, this article will have the last say whether you will like it or not and that is a fact. That is why nowadays I like to read a lot on one matter before I start forming an opinion. Why am I telling you this? Because I strive to do a better job than my fellow bloggers and, hopefully, bring you interesting news, facts and articles that will both have substance and give you an opinion or two on the matter. I am very excited to get this project going and I hope to see you here on a regular basis! Bookmark this site and check in regularly for interesting articles and news! Talk soon.
