All online casinos offer bonuses for new players

Online casinos will often advertise massive bonuses for new players but don’t be taken in by the headline, a closer study may reveal that they are very difficult to achieve. We are not against new player bonuses or any other online casino bonus for that matter but we do advise reading the terms and conditions to avoid disappointment. Every online casino offers a bonus to new players and it is usually in the form of a match of your first deposit for example Bwin is currently offering a 50% match up to €200 and Ladbrokes is offering 100% up to €100 but which is the better bonus is not clear from this alone. If you are an existing customer of the online casino operator betting on sports or playing poker but have not yet played in the casino check that you are still eligible for the casino bonus by transferring funds from a separate area of your account. Another point to pay attention to is the “play through” requirement before you can cash in or withdraw your bonus; this means that you need to stake a multiple of your deposit or sometimes a multiple of your deposit plus the bonus before you can withdraw your winnings. Using the examples above, the Bwin online casino bonus has a requirement of 20 times deposit plus bonus; the Ladbrokes bonus is slightly different in that you need to play your deposit once before you get the bonus but having got it the play through requirement is only 10 times the bonus. Finally watch out for which casino games count towards the play through requirement; Roulette often does not count and  nor does Blackjack and some other games may only count 10% or 50%. Having said all that online casino bonuses will always enable you to play longer and have more fun whatever the terms and conditions so there is no reason not to go for it.
