Casino bonuses are incentives offered by an online casino to get players to sign up, keep playing, or play specific games. They’re a way for players to earn some free cash they can use to win real money.
When a player signs up at an online casino, they are presented with a welcome offer that they can claim when they make their first deposit. Once the welcome offer has been fulfiled, players are free to claim other casino bonuses. Most bonuses come with wagering requirements (an amount of real money you have to wager before you can withdraw bonus winnings) so always read the terms and conditions before you sign up.
There are several different types of bonuses that online casinos offer, but the most popular is the welcome bonus. It’s normally presented as a deposit match up to a certain percentage and dollar amount (for example, 100% up to $5,000), paired with a number of free spins to use on a specific game. In addition to the welcome, you can also find reload bonuses, cashback bonuses, free spins, or even sports bonuses. We explain each one in more detail further down the page.
