When we play at an online casino site, often they offer some bonuses, or deposit bonuses, or free spins. Many times there is betting requirement, which is almost impossible to succeed, like betting the winnings of the bonus 10, 20, or 30 times e.t.c., and in a specific limited time. I always leave this option because it is impossible to succeed! What are your opinions about this?

I received 30 free spins on ignition a few days ago. Max win was 2 Dollars which is already a joke and rollover requirements were 30x 😂

Won 1.40 and after a few 10 cent spins i realize it takes my own money first. So i even lost a few cents before deleting that crap.

Lesson learned on ignition i guess.

They make those bonuses very hard to get indeed.
The thing is, if you make a deposit, just play your game the way you want or planned to, without paying much attention to them. If you happen to win and kept playing, you might get a part of the bonus released or even the entire amount depending on how much rake you generated, in which case, you'd consider whatever they give you as a "bonus" anyway. But if you couldn't reach their "expectations", so be it.

In most cases, I also refuse, but I always try it once before doing so. In order to refuse something, you first need to make sure that it is not suitable for you. In most cases, the conditions are indeed too complicated, but not always. Sometimes, such a bonus can be converted into cash in 10 minutes.

I am always wary of various promotional offers, deposit bonuses, and so on. This is because I have had some negative experiences. Once, I was unable to fulfill the conditions of a promotion for a long time, and because of this, I was unable to withdraw money that I really needed for several weeks.

I don't refuse bonuses if they are given for free. Especially if they are casino bonuses. My method is very simple. For example, a $5 casino bonus. What do I do? I open any roulette game and bet $5, for example, on black. If I win, I bet $10 on black again. If I win, I take a break for a day. The next day, I open any roulette game again and bet $20 on red, and if I win, I bet another $40 on red.
How often does black come up twice or red come up twice? It happens more often than you might think.

I wish playthrough wasnt a thing, but its how they fund the promos. A lot of people don't read the fine print and it causes frustration for them when they go to make a withdrawal.

I've seen the deposit bonuses in online casinos, but never deposited for casino yet, I just know from poker bonuses back in the day
I used to chase them all and finally realized it takes way too much money to get a bonus, and I can bet that's how casino works.
I would be like someone said, just play my game, and if I released some of the bonus, then great, but if not, I would not chase it too hard.

This is a lure of players into a money trap; the casino is trying to extract more money from the player.I don't play bonuses.

The mathematical expectation is negative. Winnings are highly likely to be lost. Take the bonus and play for free, but don't deposit more than your deposit. It's possible to wager the bonus. There are players on the forum who wager bonuses, and they write about it.

I agree, very often the requirements are such that it is more profitable to simply remain without a bonus.
I only use bonuses if one of my friends has already used them and can explain exactly how to work with them.
