Most Common Bonuses

A Match bonus is a well-known strategy to attract customers. What it means is that the casino will match whatever first deposit that the player makes. In other words, if a player deposits $250 into his new account, the total amount he will have is $500 because the casino will have credited him with another $250 to match his deposit. Please note that the Match bonus normally applies to the first deposit only, not unless there is a special promotion happening-which will be in place to keep the customers registered with the casino.

A Free Play bonus occurs right at the beginning of a new account that is opened with an online casino. It is when a new member of the online casino is given a certain sum of money which to play with before he ever makes a deposit to the account. This is done to encourage the public to sign up with the casino. In order to save themselves some money while still keeping the customer it lured into the business using the Free Play bonus, most casinos put a time on which the Free Play bonus may be utilised. If the member does not use the money given in the space of time given, the money is withdrawn by the casino and the player will then have to make a deposit.

Tell-a-friend Bonus is also common amongst casinos. This occurs when a member of the casino refers his/her friend to the casino and the organisation gets more customers that way. This kind of bonus encourages members to act as recruitment agents for the casino for an incentive. Through this, the casino gets more members and the members who do the recruiting get more money. So it is a win-win situation.

It is always important to check whether or not the online casino that one wants to sign up with does offer all or any of these bonuses because at the end of the day, casinos do differ and so do their rules and regulations.
