Deposit bonuses (betting bonuses) often have large differences between different sites and providers, so it is extremely important to make a little comparison before redeeming the bonus for betting. There is often a 100% deposit bonus available for betting, which doubles the amount you deposit. Bonus money is often up to around € 200, but some sites also offer thousands of euros in free play money for betting. You will also often see 200% deposit bonuses that allow a player to triple the amount they have deposited. Bonuses with higher percentages are often tied to a naturally higher amount of winnings and relatively less bonus money is available. You will often see 200% bonuses with a maximum bonus money of € 100.
Betting bonuses will only be redeemed by opening a gaming account (if it is not a Pay N Play site) and making a deposit for the amount you wish. The bonus money will then automatically appear in your account balance or must be accepted from the Promotions page. When making your first deposit, pay attention to the maximum amount of bonus money that can be received with the bonus – since this is a first deposit bonus, it is worth taking the benefit to the maximum as it is not possible to use the bonus afterwards!
However, the deposit bonus for betting is not the only possible bonus a player can receive. Often a player is also entitled to a free bet, the value of which can vary from five euros to more than ten euros. Free bets are often subject to certain conditions depending on the wagering requirement, the minimum odds and the minimum bet. In addition, a player can sometimes earn a so-called cashback bonus, which allows a certain portion of the money they lose to be returned to the game account. The cashback bonus for betting can often be, for example, 10 percent.
Sometimes there may also be mobile bonuses or odds raises for a specific item that a player can take advantage of. In addition, there are often promotions and contests where you can win great prizes! Prizes can be, for example, cash winnings, free bets or even a travel gift card! Like online casinos, both new and old players can take part in these.
Increase in the odds betting
In addition to several deposit bonuses as well as free bets, a fairly new form of bonus is the so-called odds increase.
It may not sound very strange compared to free play money or free bets, but raising the odds is actually a really good opportunity to earn extra money! Increasing the odds is a bonus for you that raises the odds of a particular item significantly compared to normal. So by directing your bet to this destination, you can earn up to twice as much as other bets, without risking a single euro! A higher-than-normal odds is indeed an attractive bonus. Odds increase bonuses are also distributed much more often than deposit bonuses, so the player gets to enjoy different forms of bonus very often. Several different betting sites offer a multiplier bonus to their players.
Reload bonus betting
One fairly rare betting bonus is also the so-called Reload bonus. This bonus is extremely good for a player who intends to use the services of the same betting site more than once. When the first deposit bonus is received on the first deposit, the Reload bonus is directed to the next deposit. So you can redeem the Reload bonus for yourself by making a new deposit after your first deposit.
In Finnish, the re-deposit bonus is a bit stiff, so you usually hear about the Reload bonus. If you deal with customer service on a betting site, we recommend using the English word to avoid confusion.
The reload bonus is often available through various loyalty programs. Most commonly, there is talk of VIP programs being offered by several sites to their hard-working players. An active player can even earn a Reload bonus, but it is also used to attract inactive players back to the games.
So if you have played on a site before and for one reason or another you have taken a break, you should check out if you have been granted a Reload bonus for betting too!
