I would like to know what you think about online casino bonuses.
 
Do you prefer to play with bonuses or not ? And why ?
 
Do you have mathematically explanation behind your choice ?
 
Do you have a strategy to complete your wagering requirements ?
 
Personnally, I think 100% bonus with 25X to 30X the wagering requirement is fair enough and should be taken. I avoid bonuses under 100% and/or bonuses with high wagering requirements like 40X deposit + bonus.
 
 
GOOD LUCK GAMBLERS !!!
 

OK, I made my own research and made some math. Let's say I have 100% bonus with 30X WR on the bonus only. I make a deposit of 100$ and can play with 200$ but I'll have to wager 3 000$. 
 
Then I play slots with an average RTP of 96 %. That means that theorically, when I bet 100$, I get 96$ back on average and that the casino keeps 4$.  Now, I have to bet 30X 100$, mathematically speaking, the casino will get a return of 30 X 4$ = 120 $.
 
That means that for every 100$ of bonus the casino gives you, it gets 120$ back. It's still a negative expectation.
 
To have even chances, the WR needs to be no more than 25X if you play 96% RTP on average. If you get a 30X bonus, your average RTP needs to be over 97% on average.
 
My conclusion, mathematically, it is better to play without a bonus unless the WR has a positive expectation vs the average RTP of the slots you play.
 
Any comment ?

Should you claim a welcome bonus at an online casino
 
Have a read and let me know what you think. The most important thing I'm sure for all of us is the wagering requirements. Back in my early days of gambling I'd accept any bonus regardless of the wager nowadays I am extremely careful and I'll only pick low bonuses. More often or not if a wager is x deposit and bonus I'll say thank you, but no thank you.

exactly right. bonus rules usually only extend playtime. not your chances of staying in the black numbers. wr enforcement is a haircut for your bankroll usually. 
 
I prefer bonus avoiding. only if its no rules bonus like froim some rtg i love to take it and bet huge stakes.

Yeesh, I'm new to this site but that's been my number one question... Still debating with myself. It does seem easier to win big with RTG games, on a bonus, betting big.
 
However I love the betsoft games for some reason, even tho they seem wishy washy and I don't want to play bonuses on those.

So far, I usually play with bonuses and had good withdrawals. The problem I had so far is that I build nice bankrolls with big wins, but with WR, I lost half of it.
 
I like to play with the casino money, but I'm still wondering what is the best option mathematically ? No mathematicians out there ?
