How to recognize bad casino bonuses?

To attract new players and motivate regular visitors, online casinos offer customers various bonuses. Newcomers receive welcome gifts for registration. Gamblers are given presents on their birthdays. Players receive bonuses for depositing funds, gaming activity, and other actions. The offers are quite tempting, but it’s necessary to use bonuses carefully. Almost all rewards need to be wagered. Sometimes the wagering requirements are very strict. Therefore, before activating any bonus, it’s important to thoroughly familiarize oneself with the promotion rules.

Which bonuses are considered bad

By bad bonuses, one should understand gifts that don’t actually provide players with the expected advantages. Activating such rewards doesn’t bring the player good benefits. The following types of gifts can be considered bad bonuses:

  • Very large bonuses – reputable casinos don’t offer extravagant rewards, so overly generous gifts should raise a player’s suspicion;
  • Inadequate wagering requirements – if a player is offered a bonus with a high wagering requirement and strict wagering conditions, it will be extremely difficult to wager the gift;
  • Too short validity period of the gift – a limited time for wagering can lead to the player simply not being able to fulfill all the promotion requirements.

With stringent wagering requirements, it’s not easy to wager a bonus. A player should think twice before activating such a gift. It’s possible to waste a lot of time and money and still not meet the promotion’s conditions.

Bonuses that shouldn’t be used

Every casino offers gifts to customers based on the principles of its own marketing policy. Legal reputable establishments are very popular and have a good reputation among gamblers. Therefore, they don’t necessarily need to distribute bonuses worth thousands of currency units or impressive series of free spins. Questionable establishments may “lure in” players with very generous rewards. It’s better to ignore such offers.

If, after reviewing the terms of the promotion, a gambler realizes that wagering the gift is too difficult, there’s no need to spend time activating such a bonus. It’s an unfavorable gift. Also, attention should be paid to the deposit amount required to activate the bonus. Not all players are suited for bonus offers that require a significant deposit to receive money or free spins.
