Cash Bonuses
Looking for free cash bonuses for slot machines? then you’ve hit the right page, nearly all online casinos/slots websites will offer new players a free cash bonus when they join. To be brutally honest there’s nothing better than playing slots with other peoples money! Some bonuses can be worthless, others represent really good value for the average player.
Every bonus will come with various Terms & Conditions attached, each site has different requirements and there seems to be no standard in the T&Cs. Most sites will prevent you from withdrawing the bonus, this is to stop players signing up, grabbing the bonus cash and then withdrawing it back onto their credit card. No online casino is in the business of throwing money away!
The most common way for online casino’s to stop you withdrawing bonus cash is to require you to wager it multiple times, in this way the casino hopes to win back the free cash they have just given you. These minimum wager requirements can range from 2x to 30x the bonus amount, obviously the less number of times you have to wager the bonus cash the better it is for you.
It’s also worth noting that some casinos count money won with bonus cash in the same way the actual bonus, so if you win £300 with £10 free cash the £300 now falls under the bonus cash requirements… in other words you will have to wager the £300 multiple times before you can withdraw it! If this happens to you consider waging your winnings on Roulette red or black outside bets, as this has the best house edge for the player. Again check that roulette is an eligible game to count against wager requirements. Some casinos will allow you to withdraw winnings minus the bonus cash, again you must check the terms & conditions.
Now that’s not to say all online casinos are out to screw players, there are some really good new player bonuses available. Check out my best bonus selections below.
JackpotJoy £100 Cash Match Bonus
The Jackpot Joy £100 welcome bonus is a nice deal for players, firstly the £100 is the maximum bonus you can claim, if you deposit £10 in real money then Jackpot Joy will match it giving you £20 to play with, deposit £50 and you’ll have £100 in funds.
I like bonuses on are on a sliding scale as they reward all levels of player, not all of us want to deposit £50.
This is a welcome bonus which means it’s only available the first time you deposit, so it’s worth giving consideration to the amount you deposit the first time you play. It would be a waste to deposit £10 and then a few hours later deposit another £10, much better for you to do £20 the first time as you’d get a match on the full £20 rather than the first £10.
On standard Jackpot Joy bonus players are required to wager 2 times the bonus received. Wagering on different games will contribute differently towards your wagering requirements. Wagers on Bingo and Snap games will contribute 100% of each wager towards your wagering requirements, wagers on Slots and Instants will contribute 5%, wagers on 7 and a Half, Play your Cards Right, Hi Low and All Video Poker Games will contribute 2.5% and wagers on Roulette Splendide, Classic Roulette, Three Card Poker, Pai Gow and Caribbean Stud will contribute 1.25%. All Blackjack games and Baccarat are excluded from our bonuses and do not contribute towards your wagering requirements.
Example: If you receive a bonus of £10, you will need to wager £20 to meet your requirement. Jackpot Joy clearly show you how many times you need to wager the bonus cash in your online account.
Terms & Conditions do change from time to time, so please check them on Jackpot Joy site before joining.
