Nowadays, given the fact that number of online players is on a constant rise, online casino operators tend to expand their offer in terms of promotions and bonuses, so they could potentially attract as many new customers as possible, as well as to keep those already existing ones. There are various types of online casino promotions, including deposit bonuses (for your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, nth payment), re-load bonuses, and of course, the probably most popular type of online casino promotions – the no deposit bonus!
No Deposit Bonus
A no deposit bonus is just what its name implies – the promotion you receive without having to previously land a required amount on your account. There are several ways one can claim a no deposit bonus codes USA. For instance, some casinos offer these bonuses just for opening a new account. On the other hand, some operators would require you to make a subscription to their newsletter or to follow the casino on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. There are also those no-pay prizes that would demand from you to submit certain promo codes, which can either be reserved for new players or can come as a part of the VIP programs.
In most cases, a no deposit bonus appears in the form of a fixed amount of money. However, you will also come across bonuses which come presented as a certain number of complimentary spins, usually valid for several online slots chosen by the casino management.
No Deposit Bonus Codes
Certain online casino operators that offer no deposit promotions would require from you to submit a corresponding no deposit promo code in order to claim the prize that it carries. The process is very simple: when claiming this offer, you just need to enter the corresponding code in the appropriate field, and bonus funds will automatically be transferred to your account, if all other requirements are met.
Casino Bonus Codes
These codes can come from different sources. The most common type is the code generated by the casino operator. They are dedicated to newly registered players are more common than the ones for existing players, just as no deposit bonuses are more frequently offered to new customers, which serves as a kind of a tactic for the operator to attract as many players as possible. In that case, the offer usually comes as a fixed cash prize.
Developer Bonus Codes
Some online casino software developers tend to provide their own personal codes. In most cases, these offers will award you a certain “boost” (for instance free spins/games or credits) for one or more of their products. However, in a smaller number of cases, these codes lead you straight to a fixed cash prize. Providers such as NetEnt, Real Time Gaming, and Microgaming are known for their promo codes.
Affiliate Bonus Codes
This type of promo codes is given by the affiliate, and it represents a kind of a present that all players receive by registering through that particular affiliate. This is how an affiliate attracts new customers to join in. A casino affiliate offer, in most cases, comes with an additional prize on top of the already existing welcome promotion. Mostly, it carries a certain fixed money prize, but it can also carry a certain number of free spins or an additional match percentage for the welcome bonus.
