Bonuses

You see a bonus or special promotion a lot in online gambling. The bonus allows you to start playing quickly or play longer. This is how a casino wants to win and keep you.

 However, there is often a catch. You don't get the bonus just like that. There may be certain conditions attached to the bonus. Sometimes you must first play the bonus a number of times. You must wager the money a number of times before you can use it or cash it out. These conditions are often in favor of the casino. As a result, a casino ends up earning from the bonus. It looks like a gift, but it's an advertising promotion!

 There are many types of bonuses. For example, the following:

•  Welcome bonus
  Almost every casino will give you a welcome bonus (first-deposit bonus). This is how the casino hopes you will transfer money right away. If you deposit money for the first time, you will receive a part of it extra as a bonus. Sometimes you don't even have to deposit money and the casino still gives you a welcome bonus (no-deposit bonus). The casino hopes you will deposit money after that and continue playing.

• Deposit Bonus
  With a deposit bonus, you get a portion of the amount you deposit into your account. This may cause you to play longer. For example, you deposit € 100 to receive € 25 bonus. Then you can play with € 125. Do you want to cash out? Then you must first meet the bonus conditions. These state how many times you must wager before the casino pays out. This varies per casino.

• Cashable bonus
  A cashable bonus can be paid out in cash. You must meet the bonus requirements. So pay close attention to the conditions, they are usually written against you. A casino wants to recoup the bonus money. For example: a casino gives 100 percent bonus up to $100. The bonus condition is that you must wager the bonus 10 times. Then you have to wager €1000 first. Only after that will you be paid the bonus.

• Sticky bonus
  You get a sticky bonus if you have deposited money into your account. The bonus is valid for a certain period of time. In that period you have to meet the bonus conditions. After that, you can use the sticky bonus as a wager in various games. You can only do that when you run out of betting money yourself. You can never cash out this bonus. But the winnings you make can. With this bonus, the casino hopes you will keep playing longer.

• Random bonus
  The random bonus comes as a surprise. The amount is unknown in advance. So is the time when you get this bonus. So you cannot predict the random bonus.

• Bonuses for loyal players
  Are you a loyal player? Then the casino will reward you with a loyalty bonus. It works like this: the more games you play, the more points you get. These points are also called frequent player points. You can get gifts or special bonuses for them.

• Cashback bonus
  For loyal players there is also the cashback bonus. With this bonus, you get some of your lost money back.
