"Online casinos have been flooding the online world lately. It seems that they have been trying very hard in attracting more and more players to try their luck at online casinos. They have been have been trying to think up of different offers to catch a potential player’s attention. One such promotion is offering different types of casino bonuses to get people into playing on their online casinos.
Casino bonuses are offers being given by online casinos that would enable a player to avail of bonus betting money to wager on the several casino games being offered. The amount may differ for different online casinos. Some may give out 25 to 50 dollar bonuses for a minimum bet. There are even some online casinos that can offer a 100 percent match bonus for every deposit that the player makes. This means that if the player deposits $100 o his account, the online casino will match that amount in full, making the player acquire $200 initial betting money on his account. There are also other casinos offering bonuses next to nothing, just to have people have a taste of playing online and possibly have them hooked to play some more later on.
Although you might think that this is easy money on your part, there are certain requirements that you have to follow in order to cash in on your proceeds. Online casinos have established these requirements as a safeguard to possible abusers of their offer. One of the usual requirements is that a player should wager at least 25 times the amount of deposit and bonus before being able to cash in. There are some games like baccarat, craps, roulette and even blackjack that do not count in meeting the required wagering provisions.
Casino bonuses can really attract players into getting started on online betting. They seem to want to avail of the extra amount being offered that would provide them with more betting money. It has made many people turn into regular online players and has done well for the online casinos. But there are also some people who have taken advantage of this offer in order to cash in on casino bonuses. These players, otherwise known as “bonus hunters”, take full advantage of the offered casino bonuses by opting to cash in on their winnings after all the betting provisions are met. Whether players may like it or not, these actions are strictly prohibited by the online casinos because it has been part of their conditions that players may only play for recreational purposes only. Online casinos are always on the lookout for bonus hunters. When caught, their promotional privileges are usually revoked.
If you do not want to be labeled as a bonus hunter and have your online privileges revoked, there are certain things that you should avoid. First of all, you should refrain from maintaining multiple accounts when playing in an online casino. Also try not to cash out on your winning before fulfilling the casino’s wagering requirement. You should also try to gamble normally. A sudden increase in the amount that you bet may make the casino throw a red flag at you. And last but not the least, make sure that you have the proper credit information given and avoid having irregularities on your credit card. Wrongful information may compel casinos to bar you from playing on their site and deny you the privilege of availing casino bonuses."

Casino Comps...
"Let’s talk comps--that’s short for complimentary, or freebies that you earn from casinos. Comps are a reward system for visiting a casino.
The following is an article I wrote with the intent that I wanted to approach the topic of comps with an easy, fun read. My thesaurus was worn out while looking for words with comp in them. As you will see, I added a few new words to the English language.
COMPS or complementaries for rooms, food, beverages, and other goodies are a casino’s compensation to the loyal player. However, the player has to earn them, and learn the rules of the Comp game. Just as you prepare before entering any casino, so too is a complete education part of your casino compbat training.
Slot Club Cards are your entrance pass to Comp Heaven and table game players are included as casinos are patching you into the same rating system. Slot Club Cards now encompass all the games in the casino, and it’s Free!
Slots Clubs were started in Atlantic City where casino execs were very aware that quarter slot players could easily move next door to competing casinos. Some incentive to remain loyal to their casino was established.
This plastic marketing tool now comprises policy for most casinos worldwide.
Read the casinos’ literature, and determine which casinos give the most compromising bang for your buck.
You want to develop a best, better and good casino complete listing. There is no complaint list as it is only to your benefit as a player to join.
Compiling active status and total points plus the redeemable value of your card is mandatory for any competent player.
Analyze casino card offers as they will compensate you, the games you play, the surroundings, dining/menu offerings, entertainment, and particularly cash back.
What are you competing for? Free room, free food, free shows, playing coupons, promotional items as take-home souvenirs, or cash-back?
To compare, the rebates available are:
All casino players have complied in the beverage category.
RFB - king of COMPs - room, food, and beverage - all that any high roller or ‘whale’ could comprehend, however, with some limitations, low to medium players are eligible.
The compcept is to reward all loyal slot players.
Cash Rebates – depending on the dollar value for every $100 play, this should determine the casinos ‘rating’ for your compliance list. Turn the tables and ‘rate’ the casinos when comparing slot cards.
Meal COMPs - averaging one meal comp for every four hours of quarter machine play.
I ask for a meal comp after a jackpot win and have never been refused---the casino wants to keep you at the company store, plus no standing in line--you head straight for the VIP or ‘invited guest’ short queue; composed as you pass other waiting diners.
Room COMPs: watch your mailbox for casino newsletters, companion room offers or members can reserve rooms at casino rate—generally a 50% reduction.
Another component is entertainment goodies. 2 for 1-weekday show coupons and members’ rewards can be a headliner showcomp in the mail.
Promotional Gifts - dice, cards, caps, t-shirts and that’s just for signing on. Your birthday greetings arrive with compatible meal, room and cash coupons.
Funbooks and ‘lucky bucks’: compensation for table games. Put your bet down with these coupons and you’ve just reduced the house advantage. Ask for these when reserving your room, registering, when you book your trip, or all three.
Swing by the front desk to pick up casino brochures or local freebie magazines in the larger casino areas and compclip.
VIP compatible for active members -- special handling just for you.
More complimentary tips:
Ask, ask and ask again—be friendly—-if you are comptitled.
Make friends with the slot host. Ladies are more competent with the male slot hosts...get my drift?
Call the toll free number or go online at your favorite casinos for updated compformation.
Contact casino marketing or Events Manager. Ask for total points accumulated, the redeemable value, upcoming special promotions, especially double or triple points days—an incomparable advantage of an active member’s dreams.
Two comppers can reach their freebie goal faster; request two slot cards with same name/membership compartment number and doublecomp those points.
Participate in a companion run hitting at least five casinos, joining as you go and collect all the compoffers.
It’s a common miscompception among gamblers that you must lose money to qualify—not true. Casinos want your time in their establishment—use those cards.
Tracking your points is based on all monies put through machines whether you are dropping coins or playing off your credits—it all computes.
Look UP, at the neon signs, in the casinos windows; where they advertise their best games, best payouts—all compliments of the house.
Attaching a card to you is a good idea. I’m the one with the colorful twisted cord attached to me. I have lost my composure and nearly a vital body part at times when forgetting to remove my card.
Finally, wager management should also be part of your complete education. Don’t play just for COMPs, however, in comparison—a reduction in the cost of play increases your gambling bankroll.
Compulsive gambling is bad but compulsion is good for every casino player; not only will you have good luck but you are making your luck with competence."
