What are Casino Bonuses?

The bonus is a marketing concept used in the live casinos to attract players (specially new ones).The principle of bonuses is very tricky because the players thought that the casino are losing money by giving them bonuses but in the fact the casino is giving the money under certain conditions.
For example the players can not withdraw until wagering a minimum amount of money, in some cases the wagering requirements are pretty high so the bonuses looks like a deposit more than a bonus.
Bonuses have a lot of types:

1. No deposit bonuses : this is the most popular type of bonuses because you do not have to have a deposit you can have a bonuses without depending on real money as deposit .This way is used by the casinos to attract new players.
2. Non-cash-able bonuses : there are tow types of these kind of bonuses "sticky" and "phantom".   Both of them are part of the player balance but the difference is that phantom disappeared when player cash out while sticky stay with the player until it is lost.
3. Comp points : this kind is exchangeable with prizes and cash money but the amount of cash is very small and varies between games selected while the prizes could be tickets for special events or more extra bonuses.

Finally you should be aware of bonus disputes this is not good either for you or for the casino.If you make a lot of accounts to get bonuses this would be committing a fraud and you will be marked as "bonus abuser". On the other hand casino could commit a fraud by changing the wagering requirements after all players has fulfilled there requirements.
