Get Your Casino First Deposit Bonus – Sign Up Bonuses

There is one type of online casino promotion that is available up for grabs everywhere. It is the sign up casino bonus. All casinos offer new players this bonus to attract them to their gaming sites. The sign up promo is also called welcome or first deposit bonus. You can only get it after registering with the chosen casino. Welcome bonus can be deposit and no deposit, sticky and non-sticky. First deposit bonuses are only given after the player has made a deposit while no deposit bonus can be claimed immediately after registration. Sticky bonuses are given for playing purposes only, the player can’t withdraw this bonus just winnings from it. Non-sticky bonus is cashable.

There are also ongoing bonuses; the casino will give you bonuses on your two, three or more first bonuses. Thus, Spin Palace offers CAD1000 on the first three bonuses. Some online casinos, for example, All Slots or Red Flush, offer welcome packages made up of a number of perks, for example, a deposit bonus and free spins, etc.

Now let’s consider some of the biggest welcome bonuses. Most first deposit promos are match bonuses. This means you will get a certain percentage of money deposited as free money. For example, JackpotCity casino gives new players a 100% sign up bonus up to CAD400 this means if your first deposit is CAD50, you will receive CAD50 as a bonus and will play with CAD100. If you deposit CAD400, the casino will give you CAD400 more so you will start playing with CAD800. However, if you deposit CAD500, you’ll get CAD400 from the casino and will get CAD900 on your gaming account.

Some casinos give fixed sign up promotion. 32Red offers CAD32 free with every CAD20 deposited. This generous bonus gives you up to CAD160 free on your first deposit.

There are not too many no deposit promotions. BitStarz also offers its players 20FS no deposit bonus.

Casino requirements

However, if you think it’s a present from a casino you are mistaken. The casinos give signup bonuses to attract as many new players as possible to their sites. They set certain requirements and if the player doesn’t meet them, he won’t get this promo, for example:

• open the real money casino account (meaning you have to register at a chosen online casino as a Real Account holder);
• make the minimum deposit amount; as a rule it is CAD20.

The first deposit bonus is valid for a player's initial deposit only and it must be claimed before playing with your initial deposit.

Before making any withdrawal you must play through wagering requirements attached to this bonus, otherwise you will lose both your bonus and your winnings. So, before claiming a sign up bonus, read thoroughly the casino terms and conditions. Sometimes the requirements can be too tough that you won’t be able to fulfil them. Different games contribute different percentage towards meeting the playthrough requirements. Typically slots, scratch card, keno or other lottery type games give 100%, other games less. Read the wagering requirements to get only positive casino experience.
