That being said, just because an offer has higher requirements, does not make it a bad value. Generally, online casino games have a much higher return rate than their retail counterparts. Where the average in-person slot game will only average around 88% return, most online slot games offer a 95% return on your money. It is fully up to you where you want to start. A $250 1x is quick and easy, where a $1000 10x will take more time, but may be worth more in the long run.
Look for qualified games restrictions
Once you’ve nailed down the wagering requirements and playthrough rate, look for qualified games. Some casinos restrict the games that you can play to clear a bonus. For example, a bonus might have a 1x playthrough but it has to be cleared by playing slots. If you enjoy slots, that’s not a problem… but if you only really enjoy playing blackjack, baccarat, or other table games, that offer won’t be worth as much to you.
Sometimes casinos will even restrict you to certain slot titles. They may provide a list of slots, typically, if restricted, it will be the high ‘return to player’ machines that don’t qualify. Other times the casino may list various contribution percentages. In these sorts of scenarios it might have slots with a 100% contribution percentage, meaning $1 wagered at slots will count as $1 towards the clearance of the bonus. However, a game like blackjack might be at 20%… meaning for every $1 wagered at a blackjack table you will only clear $.20 of the bonus.Continue reading
