As we’ve already alluded to, it’s important to make the most of your money by grabbing a cool https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Casino_Estoril_-_panoramio.jpg bonus, especially upon your initial sign-up.
No deposit bonuses are among the favourite offers out there, meaning a casino may let you register and sometimes even play without risking any of your own money at first. Reload bonuses are more common now too meaning it’s not only new customers who are looked after (more info below).
Payment method bonuses are available to players who sign up or reload with a certain payment type, i.e. bitcoin, while high roller bonuses are given out to those who either play big or win big. Naturally the most traditional bonus has always been the sign-up offer and it’s important to get the right one as you only get one chance!
As the title would suggest, this bonus is only given upon signing up to a casino as a new customer. Generally this can only be taken once per IP address and/or per household. Unlike with sportsbooks where offers can generally be pretty meagre, casino sign-up bonuses can be £50, £100 or even £200 if you shop around so be sure to make the most of your cash with your first deposit.
The sign-up bonus can take many forms but the most popular is the 100% matched deposit. It’s important to remember that the casino is matching only what you put in, so while an ad for a £200 bonus is really eye-catching, it often confuses people who don’t read the small print.
For example, your £50 or £100 bonus is not a given, it’s a maximum. Say you joined a casino as a new customer and at that point could only afford to put £20 into your account – then your new player bonus would also be £20. You will not get the chance again and this is the reason for many people contacting their casino to complain.
Furthermore, some matched bonuses are only 50% so in this case you would only receive £10 from the casino! We’re sure you can understand now how important it is not only to shop around but also to be patient and only play when you can afford to maximise your bonus by safely depositing an amount that means you can greatly increase your betting bank.
