The Free Casino Bonus Game
Free casino
bonus offers have become a standard marketing ploy for almost
every online gambling operation in existence today. You've
no doubt seen the flashing banner ads screaming at you with
their offers: "Deposit $100 and We'll Give You $100 Free!"
or "Free 10% Bonus on All New Accounts!"

 Actual
casino bonus may differ from amount shown. |
Actually,
this all sounds like a great deal. Open a new gaming account,
make a small initial deposit, and collect my free cash. Easy,
right? Well, in most cases it's not quite as simple as it
sounds. As with anything that sounds too good to be true,
there's usually a catch.
Specifically,
most free casino and sportsbook bonus offers require that
your initial deposit and bonus amount be wagered, or "placed
at risk" at least twice, but more often than not, 3x
or 5x. This is common practice and, with all things considered,
not entirely unfair. Afterall, the gaming sites aren't in
the business of giving away free cash. They do want an opportunity
to win your money, just as you'll be taking every chance you
can to win their money.
The problem
with casino bonuses comes into play when unscrupulous sites
try to cheat players out of their bonus cash. Many of the
less-than-reputable gaming
establishments consistently refuse to honor their advertised
bonus specials or, in the worst cases, simply refuse to pay
their players, citing "player fraud" or "bonus
cheating" as the reason.
The good
news is that a handful of quality sportsbooks and casino offer
legitimate bonuses and incentives to attract new players.
In fact, almost every site in our featured
sportsbook reviews offers some level of free bonus and,
at this writing, their players have registered no complaints
with regards to collecting on these free offers.
