It seems that wherever you go there are some terms and conditions to be seen. Online casinos are no exception to that rule. When you play at one it is important that you read the terms and conditions or some costly mistakes could be made.
When you are looking to join an online casino, there are a wealth of welcome bonuses to be received. It’s a highly competitive industry so sites will do all they can to get you to join them. However, some are not as good as they look and this is where terms and conditions come into play.
Say for example you join an online casino, and they match your first deposit 100% up to £50. That’s an extra £50 to play with and no need to touch that £50 you’ve just deposited. Now, look at the terms and conditions of the offer.
They are full of information about the offer, and you have to read them. For example, they will tell you how long the bonus amount given is valid for. If you don’t use the bonus by the time the expiry date has been reached, the bonus will be lost. That’s the last thing you want to see happen.
All bonuses and promotions on an online casino will have terms and conditions attached to them. It is important that you don’t just read them but fully understand what they mean. There are thankfully sites that will help you with information about the terms and conditions attached to a casino bonus in the UK.
The most important terms and conditions relates to wagering requirements. This is where a supposedly good offer can become the exact opposite. It may be that your bonus has a 20x wagering requirement attached to it. You can’t just take the amount received and withdraw that amount to your chosen payment method (more about those soon).
A bonus of £50 with a 20x wagering requirement means you have to wager £1000 before a withdrawal is possible. This will have to be achieved within a set time. Wagering such a high amount (and higher wagering requirement figures are out there), reduces the chances of you having anything to withdraw.
There will be other terms and conditions too. These allow you to only be able to play on certain games. Some will contribute more to the wagering requirements than others. You will also see a cap on how much you will be able to withdraw after playing your bonus.
Payment methods are also included in the terms and conditions. Often methods such as Skrill or Neteller don’t make you valid for the welcome bonus. Make sure that you know exactly which payment methods are valid or you won’t get a bonus.
They may not be the most interesting of reads but terms and conditions are so important. If unsure about anything, access the support that is available on the sites. Far better than making a mistake.
