Bonuses by Type

Different Ways to Win Free Play

There are many different types of bonuses. Some bonuses are favored for particular promotions, for example a no deposit bonus is commonly used as a sign-up reward. However, online casino and bingo halls are becoming more sophisticated and varied in how they apply bonuses. Bonuses are used, not only as an incentive for players to join a particular online casino or online bingo hall. Once fully signed up, there are ongoing bonuses which both add to the thrills and encourage loyalty.

No Deposit Bonuses

The most popular online casino bonus is undoubtedly the no deposit bonus which provides a reward without any deposit on the part of the player. In addition to being a popular fixture at sign-up it is also used as a Refer a Friend bonus. Players whose friends use a special online casino bonus code at the point of sign up will earn a bonus for their referral.

Payment Method Bonuses are another great way to easily grab an online casino free bonus offer. This bonus is attached to you taking out one of the online casino's preferred methods of payment; if you select the method of their choice then you are rewarded with a bonus.

Match Bonuses

Match Bonuses can be in the form of a percentage of a deposited amount or a fixed amount. Fixed Amount Match Bonuses offer a set amount on deposit, for example, 'Make a deposit of at least $500 and receive a $150 bonus'. Percentage Match Bonuses are based on the amount of deposit paid in, 'Deposit up to $1,000 and receive 150% match bonus'. Both of these bonuses are either used as a one-off Welcome Bonus following the first deposit or can also be applied as a Multiple Deposit Bonus.

Multiple deposit bonuses are often used to encourage continued custom by online casinos and bingo halls. These provide continuing bonuses for ongoing deposits. Sometimes these offers are limited to newly joined members and at others times they are offered to regular customers. They can be for a short, fixed period, a set number of deposits or can even last up to a year.

Sticky Bonuses

Sticky Bonuses can't be withdrawn - they can be used for free play but are ultimately removed from your account. They are mostly labeled, 'for wagering only', 'play bonuses' or 'non cashable bonuses'.

Sticky bonuses either disappear at the point of withdrawal or on a pre-set date.

High Roller Bonuses

These bonuses are designed for high spenders and are used in VIP rooms within high limit casino games.

Tournament Bonuses

Tournament bonuses are found at most online casinos and are the winner's prize - the higher the pay-in, the higher the bonus.
