Not Frequently Asked but Significant Questions about Casino Promotions

Jan 9, 2020 By Jonathan

One of the best things about online casinos is the bonuses. The typical casino has a welcome bonus that new players can claim, as well as plenty of regular promotions for those who have already signed up to take advantage of. These offers vary greatly, as there are several different types of bonuses, and they come in different sizes, depending on how generous the casino is. Bonuses are designed to give your balance a free boost or enable you to play for free. Even though they may seem tempting, there are always terms and conditions that list some restrictions, limitations and requirements. Bonuses are very much worth claiming, though you should always be aware of what the full details are before claiming one. 

Online Casino Bonuses in the UK

Those in the UK have quick and easy access to loads of online casinos. This is because the country’s gambling laws are very relaxed – as a matter of fact if you win your winnings aren’t taxed, and you’re able to keep every penny you win. UK residents, therefore, have a very wide range of casino promos they can claim. Some casinos do limit their bonuses to people from certain countries for various reasons. Thankfully, practically all bonuses you come across at online casinos should be available to claim in the UK. 

Latest Casino Bonus Codes

For some online casino bonuses, you have to enter a code to qualify. Bonus codes consist of a series of numbers and/or characters and can be found in two places: at the casino that’s running the promotion, or at a third-party site. Some casinos have promotions where the code is listed among the promotion’s details. Then there are third-party affiliate and review sites, where you’ll find bonus codes for promotions at many different online casinos listed. Simply find an offer that appeals to you, and you should be able to click on the link to be taken straight to the casino. These codes are easy to enter. Copy the code and enter it into the required field. Do this, and the bonus will be on its way to you. 

Questions about Casino Promotions

It’s natural to have questions about casino promotions and bonuses, especially if you’re new to the world of online gambling. Below you’ll find some questions that are less frequently asked but still significant, along with their respective answers. Have a read through these, and you will have more of an idea of how bonuses work and what to look for before claiming them. 

  • Do Casino Bonuses Run out?

Some bonuses are only available to claim for a limited amount of time – seasonal promotions focusing on certain holidays: Christmas and Halloween are good examples. Others are ongoing and are available to claim over a much longer period of time – welcome bonuses are a good example. Check the promotion’s terms and conditions, and you’ll see how long you have to claim the offer. It may be a few days, a few weeks or even the better part of a year. Once you’ve actually got the bonus, it may expire after a set amount of time, e.g. 30 days or so. Make sure you use up it before it runs out, so that it doesn’t end up going to waste. 

  • What Are Wagering Requirements?

Most online casino bonuses have wagering requirements. These have to be satisfied before your winnings can be converted into cash and can be withdrawn. Until this happens, you can’t withdraw your winnings. To satisfy the wagering requirements, you have to play through your deposit and/or bonus, or your winnings, a set number of times. For example, a 100% match bonus of up to £100 might have wagering requirements of 35x your bonus. If you deposit £100 and receive a free £100, you would have to wager a total of £3,500 (35 x your £100) before you can cash out your winnings. 

Pretty much every online casino has wagering requirements of some kind attached to their bonuses. A very small number of casinos, however, have decided to do away with them. At these casinos, you’re free to cash out your winnings whenever you like. There’s no need to play through them a set number of times. 

  • Are There Limits on How Much You Can Win?

For a lot of promotions, there’s a cap on how much can win with your bonus. It may be a multiple of your deposit or bonus, for example. The way caps work is as follows: when it comes to converting your bonus money into cash to withdraw, you can’t convert more than a set amount, no matter how much you win. If the cap is £50, let’s say, and you happen to win £100 from your bonus; unfortunately, you’ll only be able to withdraw £50 as cash.

  • Are There Limits on How Big Your Bets Can Be?

It’s quite common for there to be a limit on how big your bets can be when using a bonus. For free spins for existing players, for example, each spin is usually worth a set amount of money that’s pre-determined by the establishment. For bonus money, you can usually choose how much to bet, but a lot of the time there’s an upper limit on your bet size. 

  • Can You Make a Profit with Casino Bonuses?

It is possible for you to make a profit with a bonus; however, this is never guaranteed. Whenever you claim a bonus of any kind, there’s always the chance that you will use it all up and not make a penny in profit. Even so, the bonus is free, so if you don’t make any money, at least you haven’t lost any money. 

  • Is It Necessary to Claim Casino Bonuses?

No casino will force you to claim a bonus. Casinos will actively promote their bonuses, of course, and will encourage you to take advantage of them, but whether or not you do so is entirely down to you. Before claiming any promotion, read through the full terms and conditions, so you know exactly what’s involved (i.e. what the wagering requirements and other restrictions/limitations are). Bear in mind that once you’ve opted in to a promotion or you’ve had a bonus credited to your account, you’re stuck with it. This means that you’ll have to use it up and satisfy any wagering requirements before you can cash out. If you decide you no longer want it, you’ll have to get in touch with the customer support team. 

  • Are Bonuses Mobile Friendly?

 

Most bonuses can be claimed on any platform. Whether you’re on a desktop computer or handheld device, you should be able to qualify for bonuses and use them. If you claim it on one type of device, you’ll be able to spend it while accessing the casino on any other kind of compatible device. Some casinos may occasionally have promotions exclusively for mobile users. These special promotions can only be claimed and spent if you’re accessing the gambling establishment on your mobile.
