Casino Bonus Tips For Players
| Everyone assumes that the signup bonus is probably the best way to make a profit from an online casino, but that's not necessarily the case, especialy now casinos have tightened them up to beat the fraudsters and bonus abusers. The savvy players realise that the best bonuses are now generally the "loyalty bonuses" which arrive with continued play at one casino. But, that said, playing with a casino signup bonus does have some advantages so here are one or two tips for players taking the sign-up bonus. |

Casino Bonus Player Tips
|
Different players have different ways of playing a bonus. Some, myself included when it comes to
"loyalty" bonuses which I receive regularly (a good reason to find a decent casino and stick to it!),
play it out with large bets. While you have more losing sessions, the way I look at it is I may as well
aim big as it's free money. If there is a WR attached, this helps reach it quicker. So for example,
if i receive $200, I'll go play a slot at $10 a spin, or a table game at $25 a bet, tryand double or
triple it quickly, then decide from there.
Bonus hunters - those who aim to make a regular small profit from bonuses - tend to do it differently, grinding it out on small bets for a long period of time. This works better for some because it effectively reduces the "variance" (risk) and the "risk of ruin" - the risk of busting out before WR is met. Personally I get bored rigid doing that - I'd rather lose 10 and win big on one. But we're all different. Bonus Tip #1: Always play at a reputable online casino. Sounds obvious right? But there are so many dodgy outfits out there trying to get players to deposit with "too good to be true" casino bonus offers that there will come a time where you think you do it. Some are just ridiculous, so don't let greed get to you. Choose one of the online casinos on this site and you know that, assuming you adhere to the rules, if you are lucky enough to make a profit, you will get paid! Bonus Tip #2: Following on from the above, never take a bonus offer in an unsolicted email. These are almost always rip-offs and you're just signing your money away. You'd be amazed at the number of disgruntled players turning up on the various casino forums moaning about how they took some amazing bonus, made a profit, net the wagering requirements and have been refused their money. You have been warned! Bonus Tip #3: Don't take a signup bonus! You what? Yup seriously, the terms at some online casinos are now so tight that taking a bonus can consign your initial deposit to history long before you ever turn a profit. While many casinos "auto-credit" a sign-up bonus, remember you can contact their support and ask for it to be removed, or not to be credited if you prefer. This is quite a common request so they are quite used to it. Bonus Tip #4: Look for casinos with very good loyalty bonus schemes. If you find a casino which rewards your loyalty with a VIP scheme, usually tiered, you will start to find over time that the regular bonuses give you a far, far better chance of more succesful bonus play than trawling round signup bonuses. |
