Bonuses in online casinos

Online casinos are competing against each other with free bonuses and a bonus war has appeared. Casinos’ strategy consists of getting novice players to test the water by offering them a free bonus without their making a deposit.

This bonus could be called a “discovery bonus” as players see their account credited with ten, fifteen, even 20 euros, just to play under real conditions at online casinos. There is no obligatory deposit in this exact instance. This formula appeals to novice players who want to play in a real version casino without spending their own money. So, a player can find out how the site is set up and can surf the casino games offered. Knowledge of a site is essential for players who have never set foot in an online casino. Free bonuses are much sought after, not only by novice players, but also by experienced players who are on the lookout for bonuses. A category of players that the casinos call “bonus hunters” is made up of players who only use bonuses. This type of player registers in all of the casinos that offer free bonuses to test their casinos. These players then download the online casino software, register, receive their bonuses and play them. Once the bonus has gone, they start again in another casino and repeat this strategy in multiple casinos. These players are not loyal and are not really casino-friendly as their objective is to receive free bonuses. This population of bonus addicts represents an infinitesimal share of online players. Free bonuses are generally the first stage to familiarise players with the casino site. Then, players find their feet in the casino and see that it is reliable thanks to its customer support, receipt of bonuses due etc. Building confidence is a process that varies according to the player’s temperament. A “timid” online casino player will take more time to give his credit card details than a player who purchases only online.

Free bonuses are start-up bonuses which come with other bonuses as players deposit. Several sorts of bonus are granted by casinos, which are very imaginative. These latter impose a minimum of bets so that players can reclaim the sum won, but that is part of the game. In physical casinos, bonuses don’t exist and players only bet what they have and never wait for bonuses from the casinos.

It would be good to invent a launch bonus in a real casino, which would allow the player to receive a bonus in the form of tokens. In this way, he could play without being able to exchange it for real money. Casinos could offer free bonuses and attract more people into their gaming rooms. The coming into force of smoking bans and identity checks upon entry to casinos have led to a drop in casino frequentation. Perhaps free bonuses would be one solution to restart casino activity.
