An Overview of Pennsylvania Bonuses

The No Deposit Bonus is the most well-known bonus in Pennsylvania and beyond. As its name implies, it’s the kind of bonus you can get even if you don’t make a deposit. It serves to attract new players to the offerings of a casino. In other words, it allows you to have fun without any risk to you. The type and size of No Deposit Bonus offered can range from free spins to free cash, or even free chips in the case of table games. With the no deposit bonus, you can essentially discover and explore the casino you are interested in without having to bet your money. What’s more, the requirements when it comes to play-through are usually low as well.

But here’s what you should remember regardless: the contribution rates of different games will vary – in short, different casino games may have different rates. For instance, online slots have contribution rates of 100%. So if you wager $1 on slots, this will have a contribution of $1 to your account as well. But if you play table games such as roulette or blackjack, the contribution rate is often lower, approximately 10 to 25%. This means that if you play these table games, you would have to place larger bets just to complete the requirements and withdraw your winnings. So is there a catch to this? Fortunately, none. The casinos simply want to secure your loyalty and get you to play more.

Free Spins are usually relegated to slot games, and just like its name implies, you will receive free spins so you can play a particular slot game. Keep in mind that free spins are also often offered side by side with either a deposit match bonus or a no deposit bonus. Also, you can use the free spins on a certain number of slots only or on a popular slot game, hence the reason why it’s combined with other bonuses. Free Spins are also quite volatile; this gives you a better chance of getting a bonus feature. If you win by using your free spins bonus, you can keep your winnings as long as you meet the criteria for wagering. For instance, if you win $20, you may have to bet your winnings 20 to 30 times so you can unlock them and withdraw them. Alternatively, you can use your winnings on other casino games.

A Deposit Match Bonus or casino deposit bonus is the kind of bonus you will receive if you make a deposit to your account upon registering. After you sign up, for instance, you can make a deposit of any amount using one of the deposit methods mentioned on the casino operator’s page. The deposit you made will then be matched by the casino by as much as 100%. Note that the casino will match it in bonus funds. A typical deposit match bonus offered by BetMGM, for instance, would allow you to claim 100% to as much as $1500 on your initial deposit. But different operators will also have different multipliers. Afterwards, you can play eligible slots and casino games and clear your deposit match funds within a certain time frame. Note that there will also be wagering requirements similar to the no deposit match bonus.

Free Bets (also referred to as bonus bets or bet credits) are usually seen with sports betting, and it is where you will place a bet with the bonus bets and you will get to keep the profits but not the original stake. To give you a better idea: let’s say you have acquired $75 in bonus bets (with no cash). Then you wager $50 in Free Bet on a team to beat another team at +110. If your team wins, you will get a profit of $55, but you will not be able to keep the $50 in bonus funds, either. As a result, you will have a total of $55 in cash as well as $25 in bonus bets. If your team loses, then the bonus bets will go away as well.

In addition, bonus bets are also given if you end up losing your initial bet or as a reward or incentive, and your deposit matches may even become bonus bets. Plus, any bonus that states, ‘bet $5, win $200’ just means that you’ll get $200 in bonus bets and not in cash.

With a Cashback Bonus, you will basically get back a portion of any funds you deposited, provided that you lose on the bet. The cashback bonus is usually only given on certain days, so watch for them. Deals may vary according to the operator, but sometimes you can get cashback bonuses of as much as 100%. Often, you may also receive refunds in the form of bonus funds, and then you must meet a betting requirement in order to withdraw them.

A Reload Bonus is similar to deposit bonuses in that the casino operator will promise to match a portion of your deposit by giving you bonus funds. In many cases, a reload bonus will match around 25% of your original deposit. To give you a better idea: if you are getting a reload bonus worth 25% every week, you have the option to deposit anywhere from $10 to up to $100 and the casino will make sure to match it by 25%.

A Referral Bonus is simply a bonus you will receive if you successfully refer a friend. If you have friends and you refer them to the casino operator where they will sign up and make a deposit, this means you will also get a bonus. But remember that the referral bonus will only be given if your friend meets certain steps, such as registering for the site and creating an account, and, more importantly, depositing funds as well.

A Sticky Bonus (also referred to as a non-Ccashable bonus) is a bonus that you can wager with but you can never withdraw – you can only use it to play games or wagers. It is called ‘sticky’ because it sticks to your account. It has certain wagering requirements, but once you have met the requirements, you can withdraw any winnings – but the amount of the sticky bonus will remain with the house. For example: if you deposit $100 and then receive a sticky bonus worth $100, your total account balance is $200. And if you bet this and end up with $300 in your account, you are only allowed to withdraw $200 since it constitutes your original deposit plus your winnings, and the $100 will remain in your account as the sticky bonus.
