Types of casino bonuses explained

Casino bonuses are great offers for Canadian players that let you get some free cash or other rewards.

Most players are instantly eligible for bonus offers but always remember to read the terms and conditions for the bonuses first before accepting any offers.

There is no set format for bonuses so online casinos create their own promotions for existing as well as new members.

How To Be Eligible For A Bonus

To be able to take advantage of a bonus offer is as simple as signing up to an online casino.

You will receive bonus offers once your account has been created and many casinos will even allow you to take the bonus offers while you are completing your registration.

There are a few types of bonuses available from most online casinos when you sign up, but there are two that are the most common.

Sign Up Bonuses Explained

Sign up bonuses are only offered if you are not planning to make a deposit when you have signed up. A sign up bonus gets you some free cash in your account so you can immediately start playing. Any winnings you make with this free cash bonus are yours to keep.

Of course there are wager requirements that need to be met before you can withdraw these winnings, but until then it is free cash.

The wagering requirements will be stipulated at the site’s Q and A section in the fine print of the bonus section.

These requirements generally request that players must first have wagered a certain value in their own cash before they can make withdrawals from their account.

Deposit Bonuses Explained

Deposit bonuses are more common. These types of promotions are like sign up bonuses in that you get free cash paid to you, but now the free cash is as a reward for you making your first cash deposit.

The free bonus cash the casino awards you will usually be a certain percentage of the amount you deposited.

Generally the amount the casino ill award you is capped at a certain value.

Multi Deposit Bonuses Explained

Many Canadian mobile casinos, and online casinos don’t just stop at offering one deposit bonus. You can potentially get two or more deposit bonuses from your second deposit onwards.

The amount the casino pays you will generally be lower than the percentage they offered on your first deposit, but it can potentially still be very rewarding for the player.

Rewards Programs Explained

Another very common bonus is a points system awarded to members when they use the online casino.

These points can often be used to trade for prizes, cash, free spins or exclusive tournament entries.

Basically the more you play the more points you earn.

Referral Bonuses

Whenever you recommend your favourite online casino to either friends or family, you can receive an additional bonus. This bonus can be a cash amount or other forms of bonuses.

To be eligible for a referral bonus, the person you refer must sign up and deposit money into his new account.
