Casino bonus refusal 
 
Casino bonuses are aimed at giving players additional time and money to play and win over a wide range of games. These bonuses are useful in that players having made a deposit receive double or half of their bet free. Casinos have found smart ways of attracting players’ attention by telling them the total of bonuses (for the year) or the highest percentage compared to their deposit. Where, for example a casino offers a 100% bonus for the first deposit and the third deposit offers a 300% bonus, the casino will show the 300% bonus when it would be more logical to show the 100% bonus to the player.

The mysterious world of bonuses needs to be unravelled to avoid player disappointment. Free bonuses are not always useful and it is sometimes advisable to refuse them. In fact the rules are quite specific about the terms and conditions for bonuses. These must be bet a certain number of times before any request for withdrawal, so as to ensure the game’s fairness. Some casinos require you to bet at least eight times the bonus plus the deposit, before requesting a withdrawal. Let us take an example to illustrate this idea of a minimum number of bets before withdrawal (in online casino jargon we speak of “wager” (ed.))

Let us take the case where a casino offers a 100% bonus and requires the number of wagers before any withdrawal request to be eight. A player makes a 50 euros deposit and the bonus is 50 therefore he can play with 100 euros. The minimum wager is 800 euros given that 100 euros (wager+bonus) x 8 =800 euros.

The bonus system is a double-edged sword because it maximises playing time and pleasure… which can turn into frustration if the player does not understand virtual casino conditions. Moreover players having infringed these rules will see that their bonuses and winnings are cancelled.
If a player wishes to withdraw his winnings, it is strongly advised that he contact the online casino operator to request non receipt of bonus. The online casino will amend the site to show that he does not wish to receive bonuses and he will be free and subjected to no restrictions.

By refusing free bonuses, players are not subject to wagering conditions and will not end up feeling frustrated by not being able to withdraw winnings. Imagine that a player had won a large sum and had to wager X times before he could withdraw his winnings. It is possible that the winnings could be appreciably reduced, or even completely lost, after he had complied with his commitments in terms of gaming fairness.

The acceptance or refusal of bonuses requires some thought on the part of the player and it is best to analyse the pros and cons before setting out on the adventure. If players don’t want to feel as if they have their hands tied it would be better to ask customer service to reconfigure his account so as not to receive bonuses.

For those who bet the play-time card, we would advise you to accept Casino bonuses and to follow the letter of the law with respect to the conditions imposed by the online casino.  The list of online casino bonuses is long and we invite you to get to know the VIP bonuses, welcome bonuses, High Roller bonuses and online casino bonus codes.
