Most of us, when choosing a bookmaker’s bonus, are just searching for the highest amount of money promised by a bookmaker. We tend to follow a simple logic, “the highest is the bonus, the more cash I can win”. But that is not necessarily true.
In this article, we will explain why it is worth reading through wagering requirements when looking for the best betting bonuses and how to actually get the best deal when registering on a new bookmaker’s site.
Pay attention to the type of bonus
Firstly, when deciding whether the bonus is good, take a look at what type of bonus that is. Is it a freebet, a “bet 10 get 10” kind of offer or a no-risk bonus where the user gets money back in case of a loss. The most common bonus, however, would be the one with wagering requirements, where you are expected to play the bonus, and only in case of playing it right and winning can you call the money your own. Wagering requirements vary greatly, and sometimes they are written in a confusing way, which brings us to our next point:
Read carefully the wagering requirements
When you see a lucrative bonus, make sure you understand the wagering requirements, which sometimes are not written in a straightforward way. Pay attention to the amount of bets you will have to make to play the bonus, the minimal deposit, and in some cases even the minimal sum you have to put into each bet. Some wagering requirements are so complicated and elaborate that the possibility of cashing out a bonus is almost unrealistic. In those cases in doesn’t really matter how big the bonus is, since choosing a bonus with simpler wagering requirements would give you a much higher chance of cashing out, So don’t be fooled by the amount and read carefully the instructions.
Look for the text written in small letters in the end of the page
After reading through the instructions on how to play the bonus, make sure you haven’t missed any text written in small letters in the end of the page. Of course, not many bookmakers will lower themselves to this trick, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. If it happens that there is a piece of instruction hidden away from your sight, you can be almost certain that it is crucial information. Those additional steps for wagering your bonus are almost always the toughest part of the game, and being aware of them might sometimes discourage you from receiving a bonus in the first place. And for a good reason.
Hopefully, your experience with bookmakers bonuses with be smooth, and you won’t even need this advice. But for those who want to become an expert in cashing out winnings from betting sites, knowing this information will be helpful. Let’s be smart when it comes to choosing the best bonuses and not let anything mislead us.
