Interestingly enough, I questioned whether a bonus is worth claiming or not and doing the math, I find in most circumstances, it is NOT worth claiming and heres why.
1)Deposit $50 - spin 18 times on $2 slot, hit bonus, hit free spins= $200+ cashout immediately VS:
Deposit $50 + 50% bonus ($25.00) = $75 - spin 18 times on $2 slot, hit bonus, hit free spins now the hard part...making the wagering requirements..because of a lousy $25.00 bonus that usually you don't even need to hit a win withyou must wager 20x deposit and bonus = $1500.00. when I could have played or withdrawan right up front. Still makes no sense to take a bonus IMO for the piddly amount offered.
I feel the bonuses offered are a hook to sink your winnings right back, and as most say, they can't even get a part of the wagering requirements met for the play is definitely different which I agree with also, for the casino does NOT want you to cash out, but bust out. The few that do make it through the WR and cash out are far outnumbered by those that go bust and that is another point NOT to take the bonus I feel.
