When I was a daily depositor online (bearing in mind I dont play online anymore) this year I started taking bonuses on every MG deposit. I quite liked them. Gave me the chance to bet more than I normally would (mainly low-medium variance). Went three months without being able to more than triple my initiall BR amount though and that's why I stopped playing. Taking a bonus can also give you a bit of extra playtime as well.
You just need to work out if the above outweighs being tied into the WR. I would never take a bonus on a deposit over $15. I would rather play with my own money on a $40-60 deposit even with a low playthrough 30x$40=$1200=Far to much for a measily $40 (IMO).
Of course I dont get any bonuses at my local venue but they have other incentives like free finger food, rewards card, raffles, the occasionall free drink, last Christmas they were giving away little boxes of lindt chocolates. No wagering and I'm well up there.
