Claiming online casino bonuses is not a simple task but it is well worth the reward. There are several conditions to be met, some of which have been instituted by the online casino to prevent bonus abuse. Failure to meet these conditions will result in the forfeiture of the bonus, if it is cashable, and the winnings from the bonus. In the worst case it can result in eviction from the site. Therefore players must be aware of the processes involved in redeeming a casino bonus. These processes commence even before the player starts wagering.
Claiming the casino welcome bonuses can be availed only once. Today all online casinos clearly specify that only one member of a household can claim these bonuses. If the spouse has claimed the welcome bonus at an online casino and the player signs up later, he is not entitled to claim the welcome bonus. Online casinos prevent against abuse of this provision by checking for duplication in the information provided by the player. Names, addresses, email ids and credit card numbers are some of the parameters that are automatically checked by the software. Hence if anyone else in the household has used any of these while registering the player should not register at the casino. If he does so then it would constitute a fraud and the penalties would be severe.
In many online casinos players need to enter a bonus code before making a deposit. Usually there would be a prompt message to remind the player, but for any reason should the player make the deposit without entering the code he stands to lose the accompanying bonus. When he tries to redeem the bonus he will be informed that he had not entered the required code. Hence in order to redeem bonuses it is important to remember to add the codes when required.
While Wagering
One the player has fulfilled the required steps the bonus is credited to his account. However it cannot be redeemed till he has completed the wagering requirements. Therefore the player must devise some mechanism to keep track of how much he has wagered towards these requirements. He can call for his transaction history but that is a cumbersome process to repeat very often. It is best if he keeps track manually on his own. Once he thinks that he has fulfilled the wagering requirements then he should contact customer support to cross verify. Only when customer support has confirmed this should he make an application for the withdrawal. The confirmation is important to prevent the casino from taking any drastic action such as lapsing the bonus or branding the player as a bonus abuser.
While Redeeming the Casino Bonus
Once the wagering requirements for online casinos are met the bonus becomes a part of the players funds and can be withdrawn in the normal manner. Withdrawal of funds has certain conditions and these should be complied with. The withdrawal amount should be between the minimum and maximum specified limits. The withdrawal method chosen should be applicable for the player’s currency and country and be consistent with the deposit method employed.
Hence the hard work for redeeming a casino bonus needs to be done before the actual act of redeeming it.
