Are Online Casino Bonuses Genuine?
Despite stringent regulation, licensing, and other laws surrounding online gambling, some players are still skeptical. Perhaps it is the nature of online casinos that is the problem.
Unlike traditional gaming establishments, online casinos have no physical structure and face-to-face contact. Indeed, they are devoid of human interaction for the most part.
Some players feel that online casinos are possibly fixed despite evidence pointing against this and that it is impossible to win on these games. One area that raises questions amongst players is the so-called ‘free’ bonuses and bets that are given out.
Are these legitimate, and genuine, or just fool’s gold?
What kinds of bonuses do online casinos give?
There are a number of incentives offered by online gaming sites, and not just from casinos although they are heavily involved in this area.
Small casino operators and major players like MGM, Bet365, William Hill, and others such as Energy Casino will offer free spins and bonuses. Generally, all online casinos are free to register so to compete with each other and stand out, they need to offer some enticement.
The types of bonuses typical in casinos and other gaming sites are thus:
- Sign-up bonuses
- Deposit bonuses
- Free bets
- Free spins
- Bingo cards
- Promotional bonuses
- Loyalty bonuses
Some of these are fairly clear in what is involved. Free spins refer to slots, and sign-up bonuses refer to new players registering with a casino.
Others may involve a little more in their design. For instance, a deposit bonus might be designed to match whatever a player credits his account with, or it may even double it. There are also high roller deposit bonuses which can be very lucrative. You will see more on that type of bonus further down the article. Read More...
