As experience gamers know, these offers range from bonuses that are almost impossible to turn into cash, through to bonuses that can add substantially to your gaming bankroll. Here are some simple tips for finding and cashing online casino bonuses such as the Party Casino bonus:

Understand the play-through requirement

You’re almost always going to have to play through the balance a number of times before you can claim your bonus cash. Play through requirements range from 10x your balance to 50x your deposit.

There are a few tricks to look out for here:

  • Look out whether you have to play through your deposit or the value of your deposit + bonus. If you have to play through both the casino has effectively doubled your play-through requirement.

    For example playing through a $10 deposit 10x means you have to play through $100 at the casino before you earn your bonus.
    However, if you have to play through your $10 deposit + $10 bonus you’ll need to play through $200 to claim the bonus.

  • Some casinos only let slots play contribute to play through requirements. This makes cashing some bonuses close to impossible as some slots have payout percentages as low as 60% – which means you tend to earn back 60c for every $1 you bet. Which in turn means you’ll probably go bust before you can cash your bonus.

    • Make a smart game selection

    It’s no use claiming a casino bonus equal to your deposit if you’ve spent your whole deposit trying to cash the bonus. The trick to avoid spending your deposit before you cash your bonus is therefore to play games with a high payout percentage, such as video poker and blackjack.

    Many blackjack games offer payout percentages as high as 98% when played with perfect strategy, which means you can win back 98c for every $1 spent. This means that you can play through a $100 deposit over 50 times before your money runs out – more than enough enough playing time to cash most casino bonuses.

    While these two tips may seem really simple, they can make all the difference between claiming a juicy casino bonus or going broke before you can claim your free cash.
