Slot Casino Bonus
Slot casino bonus
offers are often so outrageously generous that it seems they
couldn't possibly be true and the casino stay in business
but what is often not taken into consideration is the terms
and conditions for accepting the bonus.
Bonus offers that involve slot machine games are not
always a bad deal for the player but they can certainly come
with restrictions that are not worth the extra casino money
the slot bonus provides. A good example is a recent
bonus of free $15 I accepted from This Is Vegas (see right
column) which I managed to parlay into $1500. Instead of
playing the entire $15 off, I went and deposited more money
(granted only $25) but I still had $7 in my account so then
when I had finally accumulated nearly $1500 I went to try
and withdraw some of what I'd won, I found out that the most
I could keep was $150.
Free bonus with no deposit is a generous offer regardless
if it comes with a ceiling on amount you can win. It is
still a great reward for winning but trust me when I tell
you that it seems little consolation to someone who almost
never accepts bonuses because of all the red tape involved,
to have seen their winnings drop from $1500 to $150 all
because I took that stupid free $15.
Proof once again to this writer that the freebie is not
worth the price you pay ... at least not to someone who is
accustomed to always depositing their own money and getting
to quit whenever they choose and get to keep all the money
they win. Frankly I don't see why the bonus chasers choose
to spend their time setting themselves up for the kind of
train wreck that I endured with my free money experience.
The match bonuses are usually a fair deal for the slot
player as well as any bonus that requires a deposit in that
if you win a lot of money there won't be a cap on the amount
you can win (although some casinos do have a cap on amount
you can cash out per week, see casino promotion details
before ever accepting any bonus). However some casinos use
the bonus system to trap your money into an unreasonable
play-thru requirement and while I think casinos on this site
are above such tactics the ones on this page are newer to me
but were a necessary addition to accommodate my friends from
the states who are scrambling to find quality casinos after
the recent retreat by Microgaming powered casinos.
Slot Casinos Accepting USA
Slot casinos accepting USA players still exist but
the days of playing at Microgaming powered casinos are over.
For those from the states you are entered into a new era
of online gambling since the leader of the industry,
Microgaming, has pulled out of your market. For those that
thought the old bonus requirements and schemes were hard to
follow get ready for much more confusion. At least with
Microgaming they had the separate account called the "easy
bonus" which told the player exactly how many more times
they needed to wager before the money was free to cash out.
None of the current casino options for those in the states
have the easy bonus feature.
Some of the slot casinos accepting USA players
have bonus offers so complicated that frankly I am going to
have to go get help from my peers (other gambling guides) to
be able to explain how some of them work.
My history (10 years) in this industry has largely been
based on the approach that I recommend that players not get
involved with bonus schemes because you just don't get
something for nothing in this world and that is especially
true when it comes to gambling. Those that think they got a
good deal at a casino in a place like Las Vegas because they
were given a free night's stay or a free meal and ticket to
a quality show obviously do not take into their equation the
large sums of money they lost at the tables and slot
machines. The same is true with tying your money up into a
bonus scheme or even if like in my case with the free no
deposit bonus I accepted and later it cost me $1350.
No Deposit Bonus Limitations
Be aware my friends that the no deposit bonus offers do
have limits of what you can win and therefore be sure to
completely clear your account before you deposit anything
into the casino or you may endure the fate I mentioned
above. I don't blame the casino. The no deposit or free
casino money with no investment bonus offers are a great way
to experience the casino under real money conditions without
risking anything of your own but it is paramount to the
experienced online gambler who has already made the decision
to gamble risking their own money that they avoid the no
deposit bonuses if they want to be able to keep all the
money they win when gambling.
If you do opt to accept the no deposit bonus then usually
the casino will require you to do this before any other
promotional offer is pursued. In such case be certain your
account is at zero or else contact customer support to make
sure they have cleared you of any requirements that tie into
the no deposit bonus so that if you win you don't withdraw
only to find out the most you can take out is ten times the
no deposit bonus because there was still half a dollar in
your account left over from the no deposit money, at the
time you made your first deposit.
