If you decide to play at an online casino it is important that you take into account the sign up bonus that they are currently offering, as well as any reload bonuses or special bonuses that they have up for takes. Since all of the online casinos are competing for your business, they will offer you some great bonus packages, and if you are a smart player you’ll take advantage of these bonuses by picking the best site.
Ok, so how do you determine what the best option is? Well, there’s a combination of factors that go into this decision. The first of these is simple, and it is the bonus’ size. Obviously the bigger the better for now, but we’ll look at their requirements later. One thing you should look for is a good percentage over the total size. For example, a middle limit player will have more benefit out of a 200% up to $500 bonus than a 100% up to $750 bonus, because it is likely that the middle limit player will be depositing $750 for their first deposit.
If you’re a high roller then it’s a whole other story. In this case you want to look for the biggest bonus you can find, because if you’re going to be depositing and wagering a lot, you’ll be able to clear any size bonus including the massive 4 figure bonuses that many new online casinos are offering. You should also be looking at the casinos’ VIP programs because it is likely you’ll qualify for their high roller VIP service.
Another thing to look at when it comes to an online casino bonus is the requirements for clearing it. Most are set up as a play through requirement, which means that you have to wager the bonus amount a certain number of times before it is released. The average play through requirement is around 20x for a normal bonus, so you want to make sure you’re either at 20x or below that. An optimal play through requirement would be 15x, as that is fairly easy to clear.
One other thing you want to look at when choosing an online casino is if they offer any reload bonuses or special bonuses. Some top online casinos have a special Slots bonus that gives slots players an upgraded $2000 bonus. This is a nice little touch, and if you find a game-specific bonus that you like you should definitely take advantage of it. Also, almost every site has reload bonuses now at least weekly, if not monthly, so if the site you’re thinking about trying doesn’t have reload bonuses then they probably aren’t a great option.
