Question about best bonuses

[isaac]

hello everyone, haven't been on for a while and saw that more people are using questions so I'll ask one I like bonuses but are there ways to tell if one is better than another other than size/amount? I'd like to get more wins if I could. Thank you.

hi isaac nice to see you around again

 

playthrough is big for me. i don't know tonnes of gaming maths but i know that playthrough is very important. i mean if it's low you don't lose much in the betting so you end up with close to starting balance, but you get high up and it's terrible. for no deposit bonuses that's ok because free is free i guess but be careful to check. other people will have more help i'm sure <3

ask about if you are allowed to be cashing out the bonus money!!!

Black Diamond will have the best advising I'm sure but here's my tidbits from experience.

 

Percentage is more important than the money amount. A bad bonus is a bad bonus no matter how much £££ it is worth.

 

Make dang sure you take it at a safe place!!! Bad casinos like to confiscate on bonuses so make sure you can trust them. So like, even if the bonus is good, remember it's completely worthless if you can't even cash it out!!!

Everyone above has mentioned most of what is most important. Yes the percentage of the bonus is a big deal but there are things that determine whether it's good or not. A lot of the big percentage bonuses are really crappy when it comes to these aspects:

 

Playthrough: How many times do you need to wager the bonus (or deposit + bonus) before you can withdraw? There are calculators that can show you how likely you are to withdraw (and how much) after X amount of playthrough. Unless it's a no deposit, I usually don't do anything over 30x, and even then I'll hold off sometimes. 20-25x is my comfort zone.

 

Max Cashout: If it's a match bonus with a max cashout, don't take it. That's basically my rule of thumb. Especially if slots are required. NDB's are fine since free is always good.

 

Game Selection: We all like slots but other games almost always have better odds, so if you can find a bonus from a good casino that allows you to play table games or video poker, that's much better.
