What are Casino Bonuses?
Most, if not all, online casinos offer their players casino bonuses. These bonuses are offered on the player’s first deposit, as well as through weekly or special promotions. These bonuses are intended to entice new players to come and play at the casino and to deposit. They are also a retention marketing tactic, as players will remain loyal to the casino if they feel that they are getting the maximum amount of benefits out of it or are receiving complimentary prizes/bonus money with which they can use to play games.
The casino is essentially giving away money to the player, who then will have these funds credited to their ‘bonus balance’, and in order for this balance to be withdrawn, or for winnings accrued from that bonus money to be withdrawn, the player must first meet the casino’s wagering requirements.
How are Casino Bonuses Offered?
Casino bonuses are offered on sign-up. The player registers an account and will then be eligible to claim the casino's welcome bonus. The bonus will often be displayed on the homepage of the casino website and players will receive communication (for example, an email) reminding them that they are eligible to claim the welcome bonus should they wish to do so. Other casino bonuses are offered as part of a promotion, or may be on an ad-hoc basis.
Why are Casino Bonuses Important?
Casino bonuses serve to distinguish casinos from one another, and they act as an acquisition tool for casinos, as players find free money alluring and valuable. Casino bonuses are also an incentive for players to come back to the casino, as they are rewarded for being a player at that casino.
How To Claim your Casino Bonus
You are simply required to register a casino account and then to make a deposit or a series of deposits, as specified by the casino, in order to claim your welcome bonus.
