While many online casinos offer a wide range of deposit methods with no bonus or incentive to use them, some do in fact, give their players a reason to choose certain ones. They will offer the player a matching bonus amount of 10 to 15 % on average to deposit using chosen methods to their casino website. The amount of the bonus varies from site to site but for the most part it is fairly standard across all of them.
The matching bonus is normally credited automatically to the player’s account once the deposit has been made using one of the prescribed methods. There are some websites that require a player to enter a promotional code each time they choose to use the bonus offer. For the most part, this particular offer is unlimited in the amount of times a player may opt in to it.
Once the deposit has been made and the player has opted in, the bonus amount will be credited to their account. Then the player’s participation at the casino games falls under the bonus rules for that particular website. This includes the wagering requirements to unlock the winnings gained from using this bonus award along with restrictions, if any.
Each casino will have different play through requirements for wagering at the games and the rollover requirements. The rollover requirements are usually slightly lower that the ones for first time depositors and can usually be cleared fairly quickly. Each website will have its own restrictions for play through and they can be found in the terms and conditions on the individual website.
This particular offer will have a list of deposit methods that the website will accept for participation. Many of the websites will allow deposits particularly from online eWallet methods such as Moneybookers or Neteller specifically. There are however, a few that allow other methods and these will be listed in the bonus offer description on the main website itself.
Each casino has betting requirements that must be met before allowing a withdrawal of the winnings from any bonus offer. This is usually in the form of a "times" play through determined by the amount of the deposit and bonus combined. For example; if a player deposits $100.00 and receives a 10% match, coupled with a 3 time play through requirement, the player must make $330.00 worth of wagers at the casino before the withdrawal of winnings will be granted.
While winnings from the bonus offers may be withdrawn after the play through requirements have been met, the actual bonus amount cannot on most, if not all, casino websites. The winnings are automatically credited to the player’s “real money” account and the bonus credits remain separated when it comes to wagering. Once the play through requirements has been met, then the bonus credits are removed and the balance in the player’s account is theirs to do with what they please.
All the casinos are fairly standard in their requirements for the bonus offers for depositors. The play through must be met before attempting a withdrawal or the casino will remove not only the bonus credits from a player’s account but the winnings from it as well. The terms and conditions of each offer detail all the necessary requirements a player must meet before attempting a withdrawal and should be reviewed carefully before accepting a bonus offer. Most casino websites do allow a player to opt out of a deposit bonus if they choose by contacting support or simply not entering the promotional code upon their deposit.
