There is a great competition going on between the various online casinos. There are so much online casinos on the internet, and every casino wants to get as many players as possible. Therefore the online casinos try their best to be the most appreciated online casino. The casinos develop as much games as possible, create beautiful lay-outs and improve their services. But most players are looking for the online casino with the best bonuses and promotions. Online casinos offer different sorts of bonuses. All online casino bonuses can be classified as either ‘deposit bonus’ or ‘no deposit bonus’. No deposit bonuses can be for instance free spins, extra playing time or free credit. Deposit bonuses are always cash bonuses. What bonus you will get as player depends on the online casino. 

Almost every online casino offers sign-up bonuses on the first deposit of new players. This is mostly a bonus that give a certain percentage over the player’s deposit. For instance, when an online casino gives a sign-up bonus of 100% over the player’s deposit, then a player that deposits 50 pounds will have 100 pounds to play with. There even are some internet casinos that do not even require a deposit before you can start playing. These casinos will give a small amount of money with which you can start playing. The online casinos give this bonus so that the players get the chance to learn the casino, and decide whether they like the casino enough to deposit real money. This way there is no risk yet of losing all your money. The only con of this sign-up bonus is that your winnings can only be cashed out after your first deposit. 

The bonus that a lot of online casinos offer is the so-called ‘cashable bonuses’. When you get a cashable bonus, then you will be able to cash out the money of the bonus after wagering a certain amount of money. For example, when you get a cashable bonus of 10 pounds, that can be cashed out after you wager a total of 100 pounds, then you will have to place 100 pounds in wagers first. Online casinos often offer these bonuses after a player has been absent from the casino for a little while. The casino hopes that the player will return to the online casino this way.

A quite uncommon form of bonuses are the ’sticky bonuses’. This is a certain amount of money that you will get on top of your deposits. Players will be able to bet with the money of the sticky bonuses, but can never cash them out. So when you get a sticky bonus of 10 pounds which gives your account a total of 110 pounds, you will only be able to cash out 100 pounds. 

Another less common sort of bonuses are the ‘cash back’ bonuses. These bonuses allow the player to get back a certain percentage of his loses. So when an online casino gives you a 20% cash back bonus for your loses of one week, then you will get back 20% of the loses you have that week. So when you lose 100 pounds in the online casino, you will be given back 20 pounds.
