Going for the larger deposit bonuses

[cheetahwind]

So am I one of the few around here who likes going for the larger deposit bonuses?
The reason why I'm asking is I'm one of those people who when I make a deposit. I deposit small anyways (Mostly under $40) and it seems these days that casinos are making there regular customer match bonuses smaller and smaller. Granted the new customer ones are fantastic, but once they have you hook, lined and sinker they seem to offer very little in the way of good percentage match bonuses.
What I'm defining is something that almost doubles my deposit. My minimum I will take is a 75% bonus. Otherwise it pretty much seems like I'm playing with my own money, but with a wager requirement restriction. Which seems normally pretty unfair. Hmm I make a $20 deposit, get $5 from you guys and now have to wager anywhere from $500 to skys the limit on your slots before I can cash out. Seems pretty horrible.
Now to get deposit $20, and get $15 or better with the same basic wagering requirement 20x to whatever seems pretty fair, because there forking up some free money to play with. So am I the only one who stands alone on this playing field of getting the best deposit bonus without getting scammed?

I always deposit smaller amounts like you. Partly because I don't have a lot of dough, but then again if I did I probably wouldn't gamble at all i. e., if I had money enough to deposit 1000 bucks a month I would keep the money instead. I deposit small and bet low. I'm no gambler really it's a shame
Sorry I'm digressing a bit, back to subject.

When I started I went for the 200-400% bonuses and was just happy to get some more play time and have some kind of chance to hit the RJ.
Then I realised that my way of playing doesn't go well with those large bonuses. It's a tiny chance to make a 20-30x playthrough if you don't take some chances and if you do make it there's not much left anyway. The 50-100% is even less interesting I can just as well play without a bonus.

If you're going for the jackpots particularly the big ones, the large bonuses must be useful.
Otherwise I don't see much point in taking bonuses at all.
I guess it all comes down to how you play and why you play if a large bonus is useful or not.

Completely agree with this - large bonus's = tiny chance of a cash out - may as well play in free mode if you want take 300-400% bonuses - in my mind either play with your own money or MG 30x bonus is not had - 32Red offer 50% bonus on average every second day so if you put $50 in and get $25 for free its only $750 playthrough which isnt too high - compare that to depositing $25, getting a 400% bonus = $125 to play with - probable x40 = $5000 playthrough. Good luck! Even if you hit a RJ better hope its a big one!
