Choose an Online
Casino for More Than the Bonus
by Mike
Harrison, Strategy and Games
WriterWe talk a lot about online casino bonuses here at OCC.
Being one of the more important deciding factors in
choosing a gaming host to open an account with, bonuses
sometimes unfortunately become the only factor influencing
a gamblers selection of an online casino.
So much
so does this happen, that according to the
2006 eCOGRA
Global Internet Gambler Report, over 75% of internet
gamblers say that bonuses and promotions chiefly dictate
which online casinos they gamble at. Of course, when other
necessary prerequisites have been met by two equally
appearing gaming sites, choosing one over the other based
on the bonuses and promotions being offered is
understandable.
However, before even thinking about the
free cash bonus, players should first determine where an
online
casino is licensed at, what software developer powers
their gaming platform, and the reputation of the software
regulator and gaming site itself. After having given close
attention to customer service (what do other players have
to say), the available types of deposit and withdrawal
methods accepted by the cashier, and monthly payout
percentages, take a look at the new sign-up bonuses being
offered by contending casinos.
Not going so far to say
that bonus offering should be the least of one's
concern, because let's face it, free money is free
money (the less red tape the better), players should
never open a real money internet gambling account on
the sole grounds of how much free bonus money is
being offered.
Carefully weighing a
site's software and reputation in terms of handling
payouts and providing customer service is more
important than how large the new sign-up bonus is.
And if you thought the phrase "if it looks to good
to be true, then it probably is" does not apply in
this case, think again. Free cash bonuses are
usually wrapped with all kinds of red tape that you
should look into as well.
