What are Deposit Bonuses?

Similar to ‘Sign-up Bonuses,' which are awarded to players for opening an initial account with a casino and depositing money, ‘Deposit Bonuses' are regularly granted to returning players for making subsequent deposits into their casino account(s).


For instance, where a new player signing up for a particular casino is awarded a bonus based on how much he or she initially deposits into their account, up to a limited amount, players making second, third, fourth and even more additional deposits can also enjoy some very attractive cash benefits. Like Sign-up Bonuses, match bonuses are also calculated based on how much a player deposits. This could range from anywhere between 10% and 100%, and even more, again, up to a limited amount. For example, say you're returning to a web site and wish to deposit another $100. If the casino is offering to match your second deposit by 50%, your account will be credited by a total of $150.

The purpose behind this cash incentive is to encourage players to return to a particular venue repeatedly and, of course, deposit additional funds. Naturally certain terms and conditions will apply depending on the site. One common condition is that players are obligated to wager a certain amount of money or play through a certain number of games or hands before even being able to access their bonus(es). This condition is designed to prevent those folks known as ‘bonus hunters' from trying to collect as many bonuses from as many online casino sites as possible.
