There is no escaping the fact that we want to play long hours when we make a visit to Sloto'Cash Casino. To increase the possibility of winning, starting off with a big balance makes all the difference. Therefore, many of us decide to take a bonus along with our deposit. The extra bonus cash allows us to play through moments when the slot machines are tight. But taking a bonus is not always the wisest move; especially if you want to play the entire range of games including table games and progressives or if you want to cash out quickly.

In this article (click HERE for video article) we will look at all the various conditions and terms as well as types of casino promotions. With this knowledge you will be more confident when claiming a bonus and ultimately enables you to optimize the results at our games. With knowledge comes the power to be in control and you will have the freedom to select the best fitting bonus for your desired outcome.

The basic promotion types: Upfront vs Cashback

90% of all promotions are Upfront Bonuses meaning the bonus money is giving in advance either with or without a deposit. Bonuses that go along with a deposit have different names such as:

Match Bonus: a bonus equal to or higher than 100% your deposit. The casino 'matches' the player's deposit so they can play with at least double the deposited amount. For example, if you are offered a 100% and deposit $100, the casino gives you $100 in bonus money for you to start playing with $200. These are often available as welcome bonuses for the player's initial deposit(s).

Reload or Percentage bonus: bonuses available for existing customers that need to boost their balance after each deposit. Reloads are often under 100% of the player's deposit, but on occasions the term Reload is interchangeable with Match Bonus, so the percentage can exceed the 100% mark.

Fixed amount bonus: with these bonuses you are specified the exact bonus will you receive with a precise deposit amount. For example, the casino will offer you a $50 bonus on a $25 deposit. This will represent 200% the deposited amount. Note that depositing more on a fixed amount bonus won't increase the bonus amount. In the case above, if you deposit $50 you will still only get a $50 bonus.

When you do not require a deposit to receive an upfront promotion, the bonuses are of several kinds:

No deposit bonus: These are quite popular and most players are familiar with them. They can also be called No-deposit tokens, chips or cash rewards. The player receives a predetermined amount in bonus cash after redeeming a coupon code. This type of promotions is generally granted when you sign up to casino and are often called: Sign up or free trial no-deposit bonuses. You also get these as rewards for your loyalty to the casino. With these promotions you are often able to play a great variety of games, such as all slots, keno and scratch cards.

Free Spins: When you get free spins, the spins are mainly restricted to a single game. You are granted a finite number of spins to play on the game. You are then allowed to keep the winnings from the spins after fulfilling certain conditions. The Free Spins can be granted without a deposit involved, but they are also used in combination with percentage bonuses. The casino gives you a number of Free Spins prior to playing the bonus and your deposit.

If you do not wish to receive an upfront bonus with your deposit, there is often a possibility for you to receive bonus cash after you finish playing with your deposit.

Cashback: With this promotion you get a percentage of your deposit back, if you don't happen to win with the deposit. While the percentage is generally lower than a Match or Reload bonus, the upside is that the terms are leaner than an upfront bonus. This is great option for those that enjoy playing more than slots, as the cashback offers at Sloto'Cash also allow you to play table games and video poker.

Casino promotions explained

Playthrough: The casino has to protect itself so players don't cash out all the promotion money right away. Therefore, all bonuses carry a wagering requirement also known as playthrough or turnover. The playthrough condition demands that you 'risk' or wager the money for a specified amount in the games prior to cashing it out. The condition is expressed as a multiplier figure. For example, if you receive a 100% bonus with 25x playthrough (deposit+bonus) and deposit $100, you will start playing with $200. This amount ($200) has to be multiplied by 25x. This totals $5,000 that must be placed as wagers on allowed games before you can withdraw your winnings from the promotion.

Sticky bonus: Always check to see if you can keep the bonus after you finish with the playthrough. If a bonus is 'sticky' that means that the bonus amount will be deducted upon completing the playthrough. Following the example mentioned above, if you have $700 when you finish the promotion, the bonus amount ($100) will be deducted and you can cash out $600 overall.

Good thing is that Sloto'Cash never has Sticky bonuses, so you can always cash your bonus along with your winnings!

Max Cash Out limit: On certain promotions the casino may limit the maximum possible winnings from the promotion. This is a standard condition for most Free Spins promotions. For example, a Free Spin promotion may limit winnings to a maximum of $500. If you receive 100 Free Spins on a particular game and you win $1000 at the end of the promotion the system will remove $500 from your balance and you can cash out the rest. Some percentage bonuses may have maximum cash out limit and these will be expressed in the form of a multiplier. In the case of a 100% bonus with maximum cash out of 20x the bonus, a $100 bonus granted will allow you to withdraw a maximum of $2,000 from that particular promotion.

Sloto'Cash refuses to add maximum cash out limits on deposit bonuses, so you are welcome to cash out as much as you win from your bonused deposits!

Game restrictions: Each promotion can have restrictions on which games can be played with the bonus money. It is important to check in the cashier for all the allowed and restricted games for each particular promotion you play. Most promotions are slots oriented so if you are a table games player, then look for those that allow you to wager on the games you love to play.
