The Best Types of Bonuses to Get With Online Slots

April 7, 2014

Online slots players have one of the best selections of promotions available of anyone in the online casino world, and it can be tricky to get the best deal for your deposits just because there is such an overwhelming number of options. Even when you try to look at the details for a promotion, it can be difficult to get a straight answer on how much value you're going to get because of all of the complicated terms and conditions. What we want to do here is give you some straight-forward ways to make sure that you're getting a good deal on slots bonuses.

There are two main factors that go into how good a slots deal is. The most important factor is whether or not the bonus itself is cashable. Another factor that is important, but not as important as whether it's cashable, is the actual wagering requirements as a dollar figure. While we're on the subject of what to look for in general, we want to mention something about free spins deals. If a free spins deal requires you to wager through your winnings, it's not a very good deal at all. If you happen to hit a big jackpot, you're not going to ever be able to cash it out because you'll never be able to meet the enormous play-through requirements.

When a bonus is cashable, that means that it will be just like cash in your account once you finish the wagering requirements. Otherwise, you'll only be able to cash out your winnings from the bonus, and that's not a very good deal unless you hit a big winning streak. However, if you're planning on playing down your deposit until you go bust unless you hit a big payout, then non-cashable bonuses are fine.

Finally, you need to know the dollar amount for your play-through requirement because simple multipliers aren't descriptive enough for this. A 20x requirement can mean a lot of different things. Most bonuses these days have requirements that are multiplied by the sum of the deposit and the bonus. However, you should check this because it can sometimes be multiplied by just the bonus, and this can create a situation where a 20x requirement on the bonus and deposit looks better than a 30x requirement on just the bonus when it's actually worse for you.
