Most popular Online Casino Bonus Types

With so many online casino sites competing against each other over new players it is only natural that each of them tries to win new players before anybody else does. Online casinos can not hand out complementary gifts (comps) in the form of free accommodation and meals as traditional casinos can, but they certainly can entice newcomers by rewarding them with free money into their accounts.

Not all the money you play with at an online casino has to be your own! Many sites offer several types of online gambling casino bonuses, which can get you a lot of extra credits for free.

• Welcome Bonus

  The Welcome Bonus, also known as "New Player Bonus" or "Signup Bonus" is the most popular type of online casino bonus to be found. Signup bonuses come with certain restrictions and many of them require that players wager a multiple of the initial deposit amount plus the bonus, in most cases around ten times the amount, before they can withdraw the bonus. This is understandable, as otherwise the casino would basically invite everybody to sign up and then withdraw their money plus the bonus money immediately. Some casinos exclude certain types of games or apply a different percentage when it comes to meeting the wager requirements. It's worth mentioning that all bets at the online casino, no matter if you lose or win, count towards the wager requirement. This is particularly important, as you can meet these requirements much quicker and hence withdraw your winnings much faster this way!

• Reload Bonus

  A Reload Bonus is set up to encourage you to keep reloading your account and keep gambling. It's similar to a Welcome Bonus and is often 100% Match up to $100 of free money.

• No Deposit Bonuses

  A No Deposit Bonus is not attached to any deposits. The casinos just adds money to your account, usually at opening, as an incentive for you to start up with them. Most No Deposit Bonuses are around ten to 35 dollars.

• Preferred Deposit Bonuses

  Preferred Deposit Bonuses are a form of online casino bonus that is rewarded when you use the casino's favored form of electronic payment to put money in your account. Some casinos have their reasons why they prefer to receive their money in one form rather than another, so they may offer 5% to 15% automatically added to your bank account on deposit when you use their preferred payment method.

• High Roller

  High Roller Bonuses are for players who don't mind spending more money and depositing larger amounts than the average player does. It is not unusual for this kind of online casino bonus to exceed $1,000. This bonus may come in the form of a 50% bonus, which would mean that for $2,000 deposited, you would get an additional $1,000 free on top.
