Hi guys, i would like to start a discussion about bonus money: Do you guys take bonuses? Personally, i was extremely unlucky each time i took bonuses, either there was some max withdrawal amount in the t&cs or it was a nightmare to wager… i stopped to take bonuses completely, it is just not worth it. any counter arguments?

I’m regularly using my challenges for bonus clearances. But then, I probably play more than the average hobby gambler.

Yeah, I’m the opposite. Don’t even care how much bonus there is. I don’t want to play in casinos as much as they want me to.

Treat bonus money as what it’s called. Don’t even consider it real. Use it and when it’s gone it’s gone.

I totally get where you’re coming from! Bonuses can be a bit of a mixed bag. While they seem appealing with the extra funds to play, the terms and conditions can sometimes be quite restrictive. Wagering requirements can be high, and as you mentioned, there are often maximum withdrawal limits.

If I want longer playtime and higher bets I go for bonus. But if Im looking for a lucky quick cash out I just deposit without bonus.

I used to accept casino bonuses, but the complex wagering requirements and withdrawal limitations became frustrating. Now, I avoid bonuses to maintain greater control over my gambling, even if it means playing with my own funds.

Hey there! Bonuses can be tempting, but I’ve had similar experiences with restrictions and wagering requirements. For me, the hassles outweighed the benefits, so I stopped taking them altogether. Curious if others have found a different experience?

Yes. I only play bonus money to be able to play a bit higher stakes.

Sometimes :). Depends what game and stakes I want to play :). If I play a game that requires multiple spins for potential bonus trigger i take the bonus. If I take a low volatile game like big bass bonanza I just play without bonus.

If the wager is above 40x I dont use it. Some sites are really sneaky. Read T&C

If you are ready to play for a long long session then bonus is ok to take.

Hi all!

I completely understand your dilemma regarding bonus money.

On the one hand, it’s free money that can increase your bankroll and give you more time to play. But on the other hand, those wagering requirements and maximum withdrawal limits can seem like a real hurdle.

Personally, I myself am a bit of a skeptic about bonuses. I’ve also had my fair share of disappointing experiences where the excitement of free money quickly turns to disappointment.

However, I don’t think all bonuses are created equal. There are definitely some good ones out there, you just have to know where to look.
