Casino bonuses
Casino
bonuses were created to get people in and trying out
the online casinos back when they were still very new
and nobody was too sure about trusting the electronic
version of Las Vegas.
Casino bonuses
created the "bonus hunter" which in turn
birthed the "play-thru requirement". This is
explained in painful detail in the casino's terms and
conditions page and up until recently you almost needed
to be a math whiz in order to figure out the play-thru
schemes. Now the better online casinos have the
play-thru requirement stats kept separately and the
software tells you when you've reached the minimum
play-thru requirements.
Terms vary from one casino to the other,
from one bonus
offer to another. If you accept a bonus you should be aware
that you are entering into an agreement which if you
break any term or condition then you forfeit not only the
bonus but also the money you deposited.
Online casinos
can offer such great bonuses because they don't
have the high overhead that land-based casinos face. That leaves more money to be spent on enticing
players in to try the casino.
True honest-odds casinos
will result in better payback percentages
than if you were to play at a land-based casino. Online casinos know this and believe you will
see that you can win more often playing at their casino
than if you went to a
land-based casino.
