What Is a Casino Welcome Bonus?

What terms and conditions should be noted?

We believe that knowing the bonus terms and rules can directly affect your choice, as well as your actions if you have already activated the promotion. Now we will tell you what to look for when choosing Welcome Bonus:

Minimum deposit amount

The smaller the minimum deposit amount, the more players this bonus will be available to. It is also worth noting that it is easier for most players to make a minimum deposit of €$10 than €$100. A lower minimum deposit requirement means that online casinos may attract a broader audience, such as casual players or those with minimal online gambling experience.
Wagering: This condition affects the amount that will remain from the total bonus. After all, this condition states that the bonus (or deposit) must be redeemed in the amount of N-number. If this condition is not fulfilled, the bonus is voided. This is why promotions with low wagering conditions should be the first to be taken into consideration. Low wagering requirements are, of course, more player-friendly since there is a better chance of retaining more of the bonus. The fact is, high wagering requirements challenge the possibility of a player meeting the terms and often ends up in forfeited bonuses.

Bonus amount

You should opt for bonuses whose reward amount is high. After all, this is what you can receive for the activation of the bonus. A higher bonus amount can notably increase the fun of your play by providing you with more funds to play with, thus potentially larger winnings and extended playtime. However, the amount of the bonus should be balanced with the wagering requirements, the eligible games, and other time restrictions. High bonus amounts with stringent wagering conditions may not be that advantageous when compared with a smaller bonus with a more favorable term.
Duration: Notice that each bonus has a definite number of days since activation during which one has to comply with the wagering conditions described above. The time frame, in its turn, can influence the possibility of compliance greatly, as it might be difficult to wager the necessary sum of money in the case of a shorter period, and in case of a very tough condition. Hence, it is recommended to select bonuses with longer activation periods, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your gaming experience and complete the requirements of the bonus without undue pressure.

Max Bet

Most online casinos will also provide a maximum bet limit applied to the bonus so that the turnover of the deposited money does not get over real quick or to avoid the case where the amount of money gained starts exceeding the capacities of the platform. That is, you can only bet up to a certain amount per spin or per game round while using the bonus. A breach of this may mean a disqualification from the bonus and all its derived profits. In this respect, one must clearly comprehend and follow the maximum bet limit to avoid its forfeiture and retain the bonus.

Countries

Before you waste time signing up, take heed of the list of excluded countries not only for site access but also for bonus activation. A common problem is that, though the site is accessible to many countries, the bonus is restricted to residents of certain countries. Checking beforehand saves you a lot of time and disappointment. Take your time to scrutinize the terms and conditions of the bonus that clearly states your country’s exclusion. Additionally, a word of caution: even if you can access the site, some bonuses and promotions are only available in certain regions.

Payment

Most casinos have particular restrictions on the payment methods that can enable the activation of bonuses. If you are to make a deposit through the method of transaction that is restricted from the bonus, you will not receive the bonus amount, but only your deposit. This implies that even though you manage to successfully deposit, you are not awarded the bonus because the kind of payment method used was restricted by the bonus offer. It is, therefore, very important to read the terms and conditions of the bonus to ensure that your preferred mode of payment is allowed.

Promo Code

Prior to the processing of any deposit, one must go through the terms and conditions of the bonus for its correct activation. A bonus can be activated by entering the promotional code in the account, and if it is required but not entered, then the bonus will not be triggered. The deposit will go through without any problem, but the bonus benefits will be lost—just because one missed the important step of entering the promotional code. So, always check on the bonus terms and conditions for any requirements of promotional codes.

So we listed all the possible conditions that are worth paying attention to. Some of them may not meet you when you choose, but we should have told you about them in order to protect you from setbacks or misunderstandings.
