How do casinos encourage potential players to bet for money? The answer is to give them some of their own money first, as an enticement. Such money is called a No-Deposit bonus and usually amounts to around $25 or so. You get a credit in your 'casino account' and have the chance to win real money. What does the casino get? You have to register your details and so the casino can make other offers to you afterwards. You will need to gamble several times the initial sum of the No-Deposit sum before the casino allows you to withdraw money.

Once you start to deposit real money at the online casino, you get a range of bonuses to encourage you to spend. Most online casinos will be generous with their bonuses in order to get a sizeable first deposit � typically a 50% premium or so. However bear in mind that you may have to bet 10-12 times the initial sum before being able to withdraw your winnings. Once you meet the casino's minimum requirements, there are no restrictions on how much you can cash out.

Bonus Terms

1st Deposit - This has various names like Sign-Up Bonus' or �Welcome Bonus'. A 100% Bonus means that for a deposit $200, you'll get $300.

2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th Deposit Bonuses - Every time you make another deposit, you will get a bonus from the online casino. These bonuses can range from 25% up to 100%. Unlike the 1 st Deposit, there is usually no limit for withdrawing money (cash out).

High Roller Bonus - These bonuses are directed towards the committed and loyal players, the ones who deposit the most money at the online casino. Often you cannot qualify for a High Roller Deposit unless you have made a large deposit, for example $1000 minimum. You should also have a record of large deposits. In return, the casino will offer particularly generous bonus incentives.
