Every online casino has their own share of bonuses for games. There are bonuses allotted for slots, poker as well as blackjack. Blackjack bonuses are used by the online casino to encourage you to join or to lure you in to play at their online casino. This is something that the online casinos can do to stand out from the rest in this cutthroat gambling market.
There are a number of different blackjack bonuses and we will discuss each of them below. Before we proceed, however, understand that before accepting a blackjack bonus, it is important that you thoroughly read the terms and conditions regarding the bonus. Some bonuses will require that you wager so much money on a completely different type of game (such as a particular slot) prior to having the bonus deposited into your account. In order to receive your bonus, you need to know what you need to do and the terms and conditions is right where that information is to be found.
The Welcome Bonus
The welcome bonus is not considered a free bonus because typically a welcome bonus is more of a matching bonus. In other words, the casino will match your deposit up to a certain number of times up to a certain amount depending on what type of promotion they have going on at the time. It is commonly referred to as a sign up bonus and at some casinos, a new player bonus.
As a general rule, an online casino will match your first deposit with the casino 100% up to a certain dollar amount (usually $100). For example, let’s say the welcome bonus was a match bonus of 100% up to $100 for initial new player deposits. If you were to deposit $150 for your first deposit, you would receive an extra $100 as a free bonus (or welcome bonus) from the online casino. However, there will be terms and conditions such as wagering requirements that will need to be met prior to receiving the free bonus so be sure to check this out.
The Percentage Bonus
As a general rule, the percentage blackjack bonus is just like a match deposit bonus except the percentage match amount is 100%. This percentage amount could be below or more than 100%. For example, it could be a 50% match deposit bonus meaning that they’ll give you $0.50 cents for every dollar of your deposit up to the specified amount by the casino. It could also be a 200% match deposit bonus meaning that you would receive $2 for every $1 that you deposit into your player account up to the specified amount by the online casino. While the latter is obviously much better, it is not one that is seen often right now due to the state of the gambling market in some areas.
The No Deposit Bonus
Probably the most loved by new gamblers or seasonal gamblers that are looking for a new place to settle in, the no deposit bonus is a bonus that is given to you by the online casino without requiring an initial deposit from you. Typically, the no deposit bonus is only available to new gamblers that have never signed up for an account with the online casino and thus does not currently have one.
Regardless, there are still wagering requirements with no deposit bonuses and will likely have you betting on casino games other than blackjack such as online slots. Check into this first. No deposit bonuses are generally used to lure in new players and give them the ability to play for real money at their casino to get a feel of their venue without having to risk any of their own money.
