Casino Deposit Bonuses

Casino Deposit Bonuses Feature

Deposit bonuses are funds you earn simply by putting money into your casino player account. They can consist of bonus funds, which you use to fund spins on slots games or play on table games, or free spins on slots. Different casinos offer different types of deposit bonuses, and their value is usually dependent on the size of the deposit.

Find out more on this page about the different deposit bonuses on offer at various UK casino sites. You can also learn about the sorts of wagering requirements necessary to allow you to withdraw your prizes as cash.

Welcome Bonuses

The most obvious type of casino deposit bonus is the welcome bonus. Pretty much every online casino provides a percentage match for your first deposit. It could be 100% of the initial amount you put into your player account, up to £100, or 200% up to £5,000, as at Casimba.

There is no limit for the percentage on offer or for the maximum amount; it is entirely up to the individual casino to set their level. Some also add in free spins to the equation, or other sweeteners for their deposit bonus.

You can use the bonus funds to play slots games or table games, as you would use cash. However, the winnings are kept in your bonus balance until you meet the site’s wagering requirements. You cannot withdraw them to your bank account right away.

Welcome Bonus Wagering Requirements

Most of these old and new casino sites require you to play through the bonus a number of times before you can take out your winnings. Some ask you to play through the bonus plus the initial deposit amount. Once again, the wagering requirement is set by the casino itself, with 35x being a rough average.

The exception to this is PlayOjo, where the welcome bonus consists entirely of free spins, all of which come with no wagering requirement. All prizes come in cash, that you can withdraw instantly. BGO also offers free spins with no playthrough needed as part of its welcome bonus. However, it also provides a match deposit for bonus fund that do need to be worked through a number of times.

The Welcome Bonus page explains more about these tempting opening offers from online casino sites.


Daily Casino Deposit Bonuses

Some casinos offer a deposit bonus on your first deposit of every day. This won’t be as generous as a welcome bonus, but is a neat gift to entice you back. This are fairly rare, as you would expect, but they do crop up from time to time.

Sloty began 2018 by offering users a daily deposit bonus and the site may well do that again. Keep an eye on the online casino review, and the News page to see if this deal becomes active in the future.  


Weekly Deposit Bonuses

Weekly deposit bonuses are more common than their daily counterparts. However, nowhere near all UK casino sites promote them. They sometimes credit your first deposit of the week (the casino sets out which day it counts as the beginning of the week) with additional funds.

At other sites, they designate specific days on which you can pick up your weekly bonus. For example, Royal Panda has a Bamboo Bonus promotion every Friday, where your first deposit of between £10 and £100 brings a 50% bonus. There is a 35x wagering requirement before you can withdraw your winnings.


Monthly Deposit Bonuses

Monthly deposit bonuses work in the same way as daily and weekly bonuses, but they are only valid once a month. Because they come round less often, they are usually worth more than their more common companions.

Take a look at the new casino sites in our reviews section to find out what sorts of deposit bonuses they provide.


Reload Bonuses

A reload bonus is just another name for a daily, weekly or monthly deposit bonus. Literally, you reload your bankroll and receive a reward for doing so.

It is not difficult to understand the reasons why casinos are keen to advertise reload bonuses. They keep players loyal, even when the initial excitement of the very generous welcome bonus has worn off.

If you haven’t played for a while, you could probably be tempted back by the offer of playing with £150 worth of funds when you only deposited £100. Yes, you have to play through these bonuses to see any of the cash, but even if you burn through the £50 bonus, you haven’t touched any of the money you used to fund your account. Claiming a reload bonus is a great way to explore a casino at no risk to your player account.


How to Claim Deposit Bonuses

Claiming casino deposit bonuses is simple. Sometimes all you have to do is fund your account and they appear in your wallet. Often you have to opt in but, as it is in the casino’s best interests for you to take up the offer, it is rarely complicated. Here is the process at a typical UK casino site.

  • Visit the casino and log in to your account.
  • Head to the Promotions page.
  • Find the reload bonus or other deposit bonus and hit ‘Claim’ (wording may vary).
  • Deposit funds into your account at a value that meets the criteria from the casino.  

You should see the bonus funds in your account, which is usually a separate total from your cash bankroll. You can now start spending it.


Casino Deposit Bonus Terms and Conditions

Each casino has its own rules on how you must use your bonus, so make sure you check the fine print. Some bar you from using certain games for your wagering requirement, with others allowing all games but limiting the percentage of the stake that counts.

Some sites require you to spend the bonus funds within a certain space of time. Others limit the number of bonuses you can claim. Although each casino is different, all legitimate sites with licences from the UK Gambling Commission have a duty to spell out everything you need to know before you sign up to the deal.
