The Prey:

After a quick Google search, it rapidly became apparent that there are several Websites devoted to helping people find the latest casino bonuses.
It also became obvious that there are several different types of bonuses and that not all of them were created equally. Some bonuses gave “credits” for playing specific games, which could be turned in for cash. However, the conversion rate was not very high (100 credits for $1 is not unusual) and you only got 1-3 credits per hand so that it seemed impossible that self-respecting bonus hunters should pursue this type of bonus. After all, although a 1-3% discount for playing their game is a nice gesture, you still probably won’t actually make money from it.

A more promising trail led to no deposit slots and other bonuses that gave the player real money, or free spins, to work with. Most of the time, when an online casino offers bonus cash, you see the words “sticky” or “phantom.” If you see either of these it means that, while you can play with the bonus, you can’t cash it. This makes some sense because, clearly, if they simply gave people money that they could simply walk away with many people (and certainly this mother bonus hunter) would simply take the money and leave. However, even though you can’t cash out the bonus, you can cash out any money you win with the bonus, which means, if you didn’t deposit any of your own money, you can make some money with very little risk. Similarly, no deposit slots allow you to either have free spins or a certain amount of free playing time and in either case you get to keep your winnings.

Good Sportsmanship

However, there was also a warning that signing up for the same site over and over to keep using the same bonus is fraud. This too makes sense. Good sportsmanship is as important in bonus hunting as in any other sport! the goal is to have fun, make money, and play fair! After all, we have to set a good example for our children.
