Sometimes there is a restriction in the amount of money you can wager in a slot machine until you meet all of the wagering requirements and release the bonus. So if the limit is $5 and you place a $8 wager on a slot machine then the $8 will not count towards the wagering requirement and the wagering requirement will stand exactly where it was before you placed the $8 wager. If you make any winning there is a chance that they will be voided and none of them will be credited to your account, so make sure you read the fine print carefully.

As mean as this condition may sound, it is a fairly necessary protectionist measure that online casinos need to take. For example if a player received a bonus of $200 and the wagering requirement was 15x the bonus, the total wagering requirement total would be $3,000. Without a wagering limit, the player could wager $200 in every spin and finish release the bonus in 15 spins. The casino would be in a tight losing situation and it is only fair to implement some measures so that gambling is a win-win situation for all parties.

Please share your thoughts with us on this issue, we would be delighted to hear your opinion and know how you are feeling about our current wagering requirements. You can post your thoughts as comments and I will be more than happy to read them and follow through with them.

For example, say you have received a 100%  match up to $100 bonus and the requirement is that the deposit amount plus the bonus need to be wagered 35 times. That means that you have to wager your $100, plus the $100 from the bonus 35 times. The total amount wagered will need to be 200 x 35= $7,000. Now, say you have received a 100% match up to $100 bonus which only requires you to wager the bonus 50 times. In this situation the amount that you are required to wager is the $100 of the bonus, making your total $5,000 to cash out the bonus. Even though it may sound tricky at first, it is easy to realize that you will benefit the most from the second bonus.

There are two types of bonuses, the sticky bonuses in which only the winnings made from the bonus can be redeemed and the cashable ones which allow players to cash out the full amount after the wagering requirements have been met. There is not a real difference between them because, even though the second type sounds better, those bonuses usually come with impossible wagering requirements and you end up winning more with the sticky ones.

I wish you all a Happy New Year and that a lot of great things are coming your way in 2011.

Players often believe that the higher the deposit bonus amount, the better. However, this principle is false as deposit bonuses should be picked in accordance to the stake level the player is at. Keep in mind that there really is no difference between a 50% match up to $100 and a 100% match up $200 as they are both giving you a 50% value on your deposit. For the first bonus you would be required to deposit $200 to get $100 in bonus money, and that is the same amount you would receive if you took the second bonus.

Another important thing to consider is what good is a 100% match up bonus up to $1,000 if you are only able to deposit $100 each time? You would never be able to take advantage of a bonus if you cannot meet the minimum deposit it requires. Therefore, the first thing to look for in a bonus is the deposit amount and ensure that you are able to afford the quantity. Some casinos specialize in high roller bonuses, but I am certain that you can find a place like Silver Oak Casino in which you can always find bonuses for different deposit amounts.

Tomorrow, I will continue to write about two more key things players should keep in mind when picking a deposit bonus. Be sure to come back to the blog to check on it and please share any suggestions you may have with us through the comments section.
