    Hi there.

     

    This is my first post and so I guess this is hello! I hope to post a load more here and get to know you guys.

     

    I have searched high and low for information on this, with no luck so! So....I am turning to the users of the sites who I imagine will know more than the sites themselves (maybe)!

     
    I am writing a piece on the history of online Casino bonuses and free sports bets. All articles I can find online that cover the matter are weak on detail. Everything I find online does not include any real date information other than it was late 1990's. Nor is there any juicy info on the terms and conditions of the initial bonuses.
     
    I know that the first cash wager at an online Casino was in 1996 at InterCasino (as far as I can tell) however, I want to know when the first deposit bonuses were offered.
     
    What were the terms and conditions, I read that they were easier to turn into a profit due to no wagering requirements etc? Do you have an information on the early bonuses offered and by who? Perhaps a law was passed that enabled a sign up bonus to be offered?
     
    Additionally do you know when the first sports freebet was offered? What year and by who? 
     
    Do you have any images of the offers offered?
     
    Any help would be very useful.

    Hi Isaac and welcome to the forum.

     

    I wish I could help but I'm afraid when it comes to the history of bonuses I have no clue and I would imagine as you said this is a piece of information very hard to find out.

     

    However we have members here that have more years experience than me so maybe they may be able to steer you in the right direction. Hope you get the answers your looking for.

    Thank you for the response. I am indeed hoping there is someone here that remembers as far back as 1996 and can assist with this querie. I figured this would be a good place to meet a few 'old timers' or someone who has access to this kind of info.

    I have to agree though, this information does sound pretty hard to come by, but if you do find it out, please do let us know! 

    Quite curious to find out now myself  ^_^

    Hi there and welcome to AskGamblers. 

     

    Well, since your research refers to period of time which 99.99% of our members have long forgotten ( :D) I think the only way to find that piece of information would be to contact Intercasino directly OR ask Microgaming for assistance as they were among the very first players on the bonus market. ;)

    I'd guess InterCasino is the better option here can't see MG offering a reply on this  :huh:

    I think 31  is definitely middle aged isn't it but still way to young to know when the first bonus was offered  :blush:

     

    There you go...31 is still too young...hehehe.

     

    People assume the 40s to be the start of middle age, which is halfway the lifespan of humans (80 years). 31 is still young, but don't let the numbers fool you. Jennifer Lopez is 50+, if I'm not mistaken, but still very hot! Age is but a number!  :D

     

    As to remembering about when the first bonus was offered, even a 70 years old man wouldn't remember it....because no one would really be bothered with such unimportant things, would they? Ask him how old his favourite woman is, he'll probably remember! Hahaha. But heeeey...I'm not saying I'm 70 years old okaaaay!!!  :lol:
