So far a 50/50 split on taking the bonus.
Perhaps it would help people to make up their minds if you explained in more detail exactly how the bonus works, as casino and bingo bonus offers can behave VERY differently. When can you access the bonus funds? Does casino play count towards the PTR? etc etc.
There are other factors also to consider. Unlike when you play a slot/casino game, the time of day and the bingo room you pick can drastically affect your odds and payouts. Naturally, most bingo rooms are emptier at 3am, so your chances of winning will go up considerably... but of course the amount you can win drops accordingly
So bankroll management is definately something to consider if trying out Bingo for the first time (or even for you Bingo vets).
You should also consider chat games, access to any 'free room' they may have and other elements available to you that traditionally do not come from casino offers. These are all good ways to boost the bankroll and extend playtime.
As always people, knowledge is power, so read those terms and do your research. Especially when trying something new
