Casino Bonus Types

Casino bonus types vary from site to site, though they're most often offered in two forms: "Welcome Bonuses" as a reward for your first deposit, and subsequent "Loyalty Bonuses" or "Comp Points" to encourage you to come back and play again and again.

A "Welcome Bonus" is usually paid out when a player signs up at a new online casino and makes his/her first deposit into a "Real Money" account. This also serves as an excellent PR tool enabling casinos to thank you for becoming a paying visitor in the first place.

Online casinos may match a player's deposits by as much as 100 percent or more, but of course limits are placed on exactly how much a casino will match a player's deposit. Another type of bonus can be one whereby your deposit is matched by say 50%. For example, if you deposit $200 you'll be given another $100 dollars to play with absolutely free.

Naturally, there exist as many bonuses and promos as there are Internet casinos. Also, bonuses change frequently so, as we mentioned before, and it cannot be over emphasized; bettor better beware.
