What are Refer-a-Friend Bonuses?

Online casinos go to extraordinary lengths to not only attract new players, but to hold on to them as well. After all, which business wants or can afford to lose the customers they've already invested so much money, time and effort trying to win over in the first place. Luckily - as we like to say in the gaming biz - online casinos enjoy a significant advantage over land-based gaming establishments in terms of operating expenses like rent, salaries, advertising etc. Thus Internet-based gaming companies can easily offer what are well known as "Refer-a-Friend Bonuses."

These particular bonuses are similar to the vast array of other bonuses also available at the hundreds upon hundreds of online casino sites. Take for instance the typical Welcome Bonuses, also known as Sign-up Bonuses and Deposit Bonuses. With these, new players registering a casino account and depositing funds are commonly granted matching cash rewards which are calculated based on varying percentages of how much a new client deposits. One online casino may offer say a 100% matching bonus. In this scenario, if the player deposits $200, he or she will also be granted an additional $200 Free! These particular bonuses are limited to maximum amounts and always come with some sort of strings attached, so be sure to read the casino of your choice's Terms & Conditions.

Refer-a-Friend Bonuses, on the other hand, are incentives designed to encourage a casino's regular players to direct their friends, relatives, colleagues, cell mates, what have you... to that particular gambling venue. In doing so, players are rewarded with yet more cash freebies, usually to the tune of somewhere between $25 and $50 per referral.
