| It's always nice to get an amount
added to your casino account when you make that first
deposit, or for your loyalty to a casino. Each casino
bonus has attachments though, they have to be played thru
a number of times before you can cash them out. Let's
take an example of you deposit $25 of your money and
receive a bonus of $100. The terms and conditions say you
must play thru the bonus 20 times; that means before you
can cash out you have to wager $2000. 20 times
playthru is a high amount, but it is achievable, most
online casinos require a lower amount....thats why you
need to read the terms and conditions for each casino you
wager at.
Most casinos have a way to keep track of your wagering,
let's review those so you know where to find the info.
Microgaming
Microgaming Casinos have a area called play check,
you'll find the button for this on the top menu, left
side. Play check shows you your wagering, it keeps track
as you play. Microgaming has also implemented a new bonus
system called ez bonus. This keeps track as you wager. If
you mouse over your casino balance, it shows you the
amount of bonus and the amount of real money. The real
money is yours to cash out.
Playtech
Playtech casinos you need to contact customer support
to see if you have played thru your bonus. Some have an
area that keeps track of wagering similar to microgaming
playcheck, but customer service is happy to help with
figuring it for you.
Poker
Poker Rooms give a bonus also, generally you are
required to have so many raked hands prior to cash out.
Check the poker room terms also. Poker rooms also hold
what are called freerolls, generally the top placed
players win a cash prize that goes into your poker room
balance. Some are cashable, some have terms on them
requiring playthru.
RTG Software
RTG Casinos offer alot of free money, and generally
have the highest play thru requirements, some are not
cashable until you make a deposit, others not even then.
Thats the importance of understanding the requirements.
RTG software does have an area in the cashier window that
tells your bonus amount wagering requirements.
Bingo
Most Bingo Halls give free cards or bingo bucks before
you deposit and a first deposit bonus. Generally the bingo
bucks are not cashable, but if you bingo and win money,
this goes to your cash account. Often the cash amount then
has a required playthru.
