I’ve noticed casinos offering freebies – how do these work?
As mentioned previously, there are currently around 1200 online casinos in operation today. In order to make sure that you join their casino today, casino operators will offer you ‘bonuses’.
These come in three guises – sign-up, monthly or reward.
The first and most common bonus available is the ‘sign-up’ bonus. This is an incentive that makes sure you sign up with a particular casino. The casino will ‘give’ you X amount of pounds if you register and deposit some cash into their casino.

However, you must be aware that the casinos do not simply give out this cash for nothing. The way it works is simple. They give you free cash, but as part of the bargain you will have to use this free cash in the casino. This is called a ‘wagering requirement’ and each casino may have different
