Online Casino Bonuses + Bonus Codes For U.S. Players

What types of different bonuses are available at online casinos?

Online casinos will typically off a number of different types of bonuses for both prospective players, and current players.

• The bonuses for new or prospective players are known as welcome bonuses or sign up bonuses. These bonuses are usually the best offers of any of the other types of bonuses going. A deposit bonus is a bonus received after a player makes a deposit into their account to play. Here, a player receives additional plays, or money to be wagered in their account.
• Another type if sign up bonus is the "no-deposit" bonus which is just like it sounds... it requires no deposit. Sometimes these bonuses are small and allow players to test the waters while some of these are huge but only last for a finite period... once the time period expires, the bonus will be removed from the account.
• After making the initial deposits there are also bonuses for redepositing into your account. These are known as reload bonuses. There practically will not be a time that a player can not find a reload bonus that he/she wants to use. These aren't as big as initial bonuses but free money is free money and if you're going to deposit anyway, why not take advantage?
• But, there are also bonuses unrelated to a deposit, such as daily or weekly promotions run by the online casino. These bonuses vary in how they often they are offered, but they are another way to keep their players happy.
• Often times, online casinos have a VIP club, in which their recurring players who sign up for the VIP Club receive bonuses that other players would not.

Why do online casinos offer bonuses and bonus codes?

One of the important aspects when it comes to online casinos bonuses are the use of bonus codes. And there are a couple of different types of bonus codes. But first, you should understand why bonus codes are needed and used by online casinos. These bonus codes offered by online casinos to entice players to come play at their place. Often times, an Exclusive Bonus Code will be made for various websites who have a deal with a website owner to offer to their members. And then there is the standard Bonus code, which typically can be found on the online casinos web page, by inquiring about the different bonus options available to a new player or a current player. But an exclusive code is a bonus set up for a specific purpose or a deal with a group.

• example: WinPalace Normal Slots Bonus: 300% - $3,000 (WINSLOTS) versus WinPalace Exclusive Slots Bonus: 400% - $4,000 (4000FREE)

Above, the example exhibits the difference between using a bonus code found on the website and using an exclusive bonus code.

What is a bonus rollover and how are they used?

The idea behind a bonus rollover is that the casino just doesn't want you to take the bonus and then cash out. They want you to play. Therefore, they come up with the bonus rollover requirements, which are expressed with the multiplication symbol such as 3X, 5X, 10X etc...For example, if a bonus rollover is a 5X requirement, a player must wager five times the amount of the first deposit on top of the bonus amount. So if you were to deposit $100 with a 50% bonus, your account would be credited at $150. If the rollover 5X, that means you need to wager at least $750 cash out bonus money from your account.

Do online casino bonuses expire?

There are two expiration dates that players need to be aware of. The first is if they are thinking about choosing to go with a bonus. The second is after they have already received a bonus. When a player is given a bonus offer, there is a certain time period that is typically attached to this. It will vary depending on the online casino selected, but player's who do not claim a bonus in the timeframe given will miss out on the opportunity.

A player who opts to receive a bonus will have that deposited into their account. On the casino’s website, it will stipulate the length of time that a player has to play the full bonus. Again, this is different across every site, and in some cases, it may be unlimited. But generally speaking, there are a certain number of days that a player will have to use the entire bonus that has been given to them.
