Sign-up Bonus

This is also known as a welcome bonus or a first deposit bonus. 

- When you register at an online casino and make your initial deposit, the casino matches a percentage of that deposit with bonus funds.
- For example, if the casino offers a 100% match bonus and you deposit $100, you'll receive an additional $100 as a bonus, giving you a total of $200 to play with.
- These bonuses often have a maximum limit, so even if you deposit more than the specified limit, you won't receive a larger bonus.

No Deposit Bonus

Some casinos offer a small amount of bonus money just for signing up, even before you make a deposit. It's like a little gift to get you started without risking your own money. This bonus is a gift from the casino just for signing up, and it doesn't require you to make a deposit. It's usually a small amount of bonus money, and sometimes it comes in the form of free spins on specific slot games. While it's a great way to start playing without risking your own money, the amounts are typically smaller compared to deposit bonuses.

Free Spins

Instead of or in addition to bonus money, some casinos offer free spins on slot games. Free spins allow you to play the slots without using your own money, and any winnings are often converted into bonus funds. There may be restrictions on which slot games you can use the free spins on, and there might be a limit on the maximum amount you can win.

Wagering Requirements

Keep an eye out for these. They represent the number of times you need to play through your bonus before you can withdraw any winnings. Wagering requirements indicate how many times you need to bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings. For instance, if you have a $50 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement, you must place bets totaling $1,000 (50 x 20) before you can cash out. Different games may contribute differently to the wagering requirements, with slots often contributing 100% while table games may contribute less or none at all.

Game Restrictions

Casinos may impose restrictions on which games you can play with bonus funds to meet the wagering requirements. Some games may contribute more towards the requirements than others. For example, a slot might contribute 100%, while a table game might contribute only 50%. Certain games may be excluded from bonus play altogether, so it's essential to check the casino's terms and conditions.
