Welcome bonuses

[rob3786]

many casinos offer $300 and $400 welcome bonuses. To withdraw this you normally need to deposit $20 and can win maximum average $200. If you are strategic at blackjack this should not be to hard to win at blackjack with aspecially with these large deposits. Do many people just go around playing these bonuses depositing $20 and cashing out, as long as they are not a greedy gamer this seems like relatively easy money to me, is this the case?

Actually having now looked into bonuses in a great detail it seems very hard to withdrawal and the casinos are hardly giving anything away much at all

Most bonus Terms and Conditions have requirements for how many times the balance must be wagered. In addition, many have restrictions on the games that can be played using bonus money -- blackjack is one of the games that is often prohibited, precisely because of the low house edge when played with optimal strategy. It is very important to advise your players to review Terms and Conditions before accepting a bonus.

I always find that when I place a bet at an online casino/poker room/sportsbook, I usually bet with my own money, and do not take advantage of the bonus offers. I only say this because I have read (in many forums), about how too many people have got burned by bonus offers. The terms and conditions at most online casinos make it almost impossible to win using the bonuses, which is why I never use them. I find that if I bet my own money, then I never have a problem making a deposit.

I agree with ProducerK. I dont like using bonuses for one reason, if I deposit my money and win I dont want any issues withdrawing it if I win.
I have seen casinos change there T&C often lately and make it almost impossible to meet requirements.

I do not use bonuses ever. Funny since I have a bonus site Some people like them, some don't. I want to play and WIN with my own money on my own time frame.

I remember once at Intercasino... I deposited $100, got a $100 bonus, was playing The Hulk for a while... got down to $50. I then switched over to Silver Surfer and forgot that it automatically puts you at $9 / spin I put it on automatic spin because I had to go get some coffee and.... hit a free spin and won $1200.

Sounds great, huh? Well, I checked my W/R and it was no where near being met. I ended up cashing out only $300 Still not bad - but damn I wish it were my own cash that time.

I always request bonuses be removed from my account ever since. Some casinos I have to ask more than once
