Bonuses based on your deposits, free bets, occasional bonuses - a list of different type of betting promotion have been offered by the bookmakers seem not to have an end to the list. However often You comment or write to us that online bookmaker has cheated You and has not given any promotional funds as mentioned to do so. Sadly, instead blame is to be given to a player, not the bookie, why? As we cited in the title of this post, to do it smoothly, it is worth to read terms and conditions regarding a specific bonus a player take advantage.
On which bonus terms paragraphs shall a player focus on the most?
- Firstly
check if You are eligible for the bonus. In the current times, we live
(used to be different) many bookmakers apply a list of restrictions one
of them is a country restriction, it is good to check if Your country
that You reside in, it is not excluded from the promotion. If yes and
jolly You want to get a bonus maybe it is better to look for a different
bookmaker?
- One crucial factor is a payment option that
You chose to deposit money into your new betting account, check if it
isn’t excluded from getting a bonus. Very often I saw terms mentioning
that for example, Neteller, Skrill or Paypal or any other payment method
does not count for the bonus.
- “Bonus Code” While
registering for a new account does welcome bonus to active doesn’t
require to put a special bonus code in a specific field in the
registration form? Check that one too because sometime later You won't
be able to make any changes, even if You ask support to do so.
- If
You finally decided to deposit and You have done so, and the starting
bonus hasn’t shown at all, maybe there is a time frame that You have to
wait until Your extra money appears on your account? Many times there is
24 hours before the bonus activates.
- For free bets
Bonus activates when You bet on specific sport, minimal odds or at
minimum betting stake, of course, any other points maybe fulfilled too.
- Finally,
You’ve got a bonus added and can be used, check if You can wait long
before You decide to play because for example after seven days You may
not be able to see it again. There maybe be a deadline to use Your
bonus!
- Another significant factor is the bonus turnover
requirement. What is this? To be able to withdraw bonus amount You have
to stake few times your bonus amount (it maybe 3x times your bonus and
deposit amount, five times just a bonus amount it all depends on a
bookmaker). Before having done this Your bonus cash is locked and can
not be withdrawn.
