The Best Online Casino Promotions

by Simon M Skinner

You may have seen some of the ads and come-ons for major casinos that provide perks and bonuses to their high rolling guests. These can be pretty tempting, and they may have you salivating as you consider what you could do with the free plays, bonus chips and other extras. The only trouble is that the casinos are far away and can involve a lot more financial outlay than you have available at the moment. Okay, maybe a trip to Atlantic City, Las Vegas or Monte Carlo isn?t in the stars for you just yet. Don't worry, because you can still enjoy online gambling and take advantage of some of the best casino bonuses in the world.

Online casino action is taking the gambling industry by storm, and the different establishments are all vying with each other for your business. To make you become a loyal patron there are plenty of great casino bonuses being offered and the best thing about them is that they are free perks to thank you for playing. Now, come on, just how cool is it that you literally get paid to throw down at some of the top virtual gambling sites throughout the world.

Before getting started it is a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what all of the various bonuses are. The typical bonuses that you will find being offered is that of the:

No Deposit Bonus-this is a true freebie deal and is exactly what it says, 'no deposit'. You are not required to deposit any kind of funds to try this bonus out on any games of your choosing.

Matching Bonus- when you open an account with an online casino you will be given a matching bonus amount. These can differ from site to site and may be a dollar per dollar match up to a certain amount, or the casino may double or triple the amount of your deposit. Check the sites for yourself and see where you can find the best deals.

Monthly Casino Bonus- this is a popular offer at many top casino sites. Once you sign up you are guaranteed to be given a certain amount of free chips each month to play as you wish.

Percentage Bonuses- these are similar to the matching bonuses, but are calculated to an exact percentage of your deposit. For instance a 50% percentage bonus would let you receive $100 worth of free chips with a $200 deposit.

Cashback bonuses- these are highly desirable and less common than most other top casino bonuses. With a cashback offer you will be repaid the amount of your losses during a specific time of play.

Refer A Friend- this is another bonus offer that is specifically designed to help the casinos build goodwill and a stronger customer base. Each time you invite people to join and play you have the opportunity to add chips and money into your account. If your friends should become playing you will have money deposited in your name by the casino's management.
