Are Online Casino Bonuses Worth Claiming?
Almost every fully licensed and regulated casino site in the world offers new and existing players various bonuses, but are they worth claiming? Find out here.
Operators use online casino bonuses to entice new players to sign up to their website. They are also used to look after existing players, as a way of saying thank you for their loyalty and to keep them coming back.
The question being asked here is, are online casino bonuses worth claiming? Let’s dive straight in to find out.
What are the main types of online casino bonuses?
At most online casinos today, there are bonuses for new players and bonuses for existing members as part of the loyalty rewards program.
More information about today’s latest and most lucrative casino bonuses can be found on the official Casino Spesialisten (https://www.casinospesialisten.net/casinobonus-uten-innskudd) website.
The main types of bonuses you are likely to come across, whether it’s part of the initial sign-up bonus (aka welcome bonus) or part of an ongoing promotional offer for fully registered members, are the following:
- Matching deposit bonuses (and reload bonuses) – where you must deposit a certain amount to receive the bonus
- No deposit bonuses – where you don’t have to make a deposit to receive either a free cash bonus or free spins
- Free spins bonuses – usually anywhere from 1 to 200 FS, depending on the casino/bonus
- Friend referral bonuses – which aren’t usually worth claiming and aren’t as common as they used to be
- Cashback bonuses – get a certain amount of cashback each week or month based on how much you spend/your net losses
You will find that most online casino bonuses today are tailored to individual players, but these are the main ones you will likely encounter.
You may also find ‘payment’ method bonuses, where you get a bonus just for depositing using a certain online payment solution, and VIP/high roller bonuses, where people who play regularly or deposit large sums of money than most ‘average’ people can afford.
Are online casino bonuses worth claiming?
Most of the time, yes, online casino bonuses are worth claiming. The most important thing to remember is that almost every online casino bonus in the world comes with wagering requirements attached.
The wagering requirement is sometimes called the playthrough requirement or rollover requirement (it means the same thing) and is the amount of money you must wager before you can withdraw your winnings.
Wagering/playthrough/rollover requirements are designed to protect online casino operators. When players complete their wagering requirements, they are free to withdraw any winnings they have left over.
If wagering requirements weren’t attached to online casino bonuses, there would be nothing stopping players from receiving any free money they just received and then spending it on other websites. Wagering requirements prevent players from doing this.
They are annoying but fair, and if you can find a casino bonus with low/medium wagering requirements, it’s usually worth taking advantage of.
How much do I have to wager before I can withdraw any winnings I have made from my bonus?
This varies greatly from one online casino to the next. For example, you have low, medium, and high wagering requirements. Online casino bonuses with low wagering requirements are hard to find. These bonuses usually only have a 1x to 20x or 25x wagering requirement attached.
In other words, if you receive a $/€/£/NOK200 cash bonus (or equivalent currency value) with a 25x wagering requirement, you would have to wager your bonus money 25x times before you could withdraw.
Medium wagering requirements are more common, worth around 30x to 60x, and high are classed as 70x or higher. Avoid the 70x wagering requirement or higher bonuses.
