Casino Welcome Bonus
Perhaps the biggest advantage of online casinos over land-based casinos: the casino welcome bonus. Where some of the land based casinos even charge an entry fee, their online competitors offer you a casino welcome bonus. This can be in the form of play money, deposit bonus, free spins or free spins without deposit.
With a few exceptions, most online casinos offer new players a welcome bonus. As a result, you start playing with a head start. Of course, that welcome bonus from the casino is there for a reason. It is a gift with which they welcome you.
At the same time – and we can safely speak for all – casinos are no charity. Hence, there are always conditions attached to the welcome bonus. Always remember to read the welcome bonus casino terms and conditions carefully.
Mobile Wins Casino explains exactly what a casino welcome bonus is. If you wish to claim one of our Mobile Wins Casino bonuses, check out our bonus page.
With our Mobile Wins Casino welcome bonus we offer new players a way to increase their playing budget instantly. This way you get more fun for your buck, so to speak.
For example, you deposit £20 and get a welcome bonus of 25 free spins. Although there are different welcome bonuses, most of the time only one or two will fit your own needs.
Read on to find your Casino Welcome Bonus and how to claim it.
Casino Welcome Bonus Types
There are different types of welcome bonuses you can come across in online casinos. The most popular variant is undoubtedly the deposit bonus casino, but different versions of free spins or a combination of bonuses also occur.
Casino Deposit Bonus as welcome bonus
The most popular welcome bonus with Mobile Wins Casino is a casino deposit bonus. This is usually a deposit match up on top of your actual deposit. This type of bonus is often the welcome bonus that is worth the most.
With a deposit bonus Mobile Wins casino increases your first deposit, often even doubling it. This way, you can essentially play with double the money. Which should result in more hours of fun and, hopefully, winnings!
For example, a 100% welcome bonus means that your £100 deposit is worth £200 in total. The first £100 is yours and the 100% bonus from the casino.
Note that you always have to distinguish between your money (or ‘real money’) and Mobile Wins casino’s bonus money.
You can always withdraw real money as winnings, while bonus money must first be converted into real money. This is subject to a wagering minimum – meaning you have to wager your bonus money x-number of times before it is yours.
A wagering minimum of, say, 30x means that with the £100 from our example, you need to wager a total of £3,000. That seems like a lot, but by betting on slots, you occasionally win. By wagering those winnings again, you should reach that £3,000 amount before your bonus money runs out.
Another important thing to point out is that you play with your own money first and then with the Mobile Wins Casino bonus money. In the optimal scenario, you never need the bonus because you already have a big win before you start playing with the bonus money. If you cash out your winnings before playing with the bonus, the bonus expires. You usually have a month to meet the bonus requirements.
A deposit bonus usually gets more attractive the more you deposit. Such as a higher percentage of a deposit match or more free spins on game X. Mobile Wins offers these promotions and more which you can see here.
Free Spins as a Welcome Bonus
Another well-known welcome bonus comes in the form of free spins. Here, the value of the casino welcome bonus is not fixed, but depends on the outcome of the free spins. As you undoubtedly know, that outcome can vary enormously.
The value of the bonus is shown by multiplying the number of spins by the value of the spins (20 free spins of €0.20 are worth €4, for example). How much you end up with from this bonus is much harder to predict.
The deposit you need to unlock free spins is often smaller than for a maximum deposit bonus. With free spins, though, it is more often the case that you offer the bonus at different levels; the more you deposit, the more spins you get.
Free spins without deposit are often subject to different conditions than a regular deposit bonus. Often you need to play winnings from free spins but sometimes no minimum applies at all. So all free casino spins are instant cash spins. Free Spins can be subjected to a maximum win limit.
No Deposit bonus
A separate variant where free spins are handed out as a welcome bonus is the no deposit casino bonus. Here, you get a number of spins just by creating an account. This version is particularly popular with players, but is much less common than the other bonuses.
The reason casinos are sometimes cautious with this is that they also attract ‘bonus hunters’ with this bonus. These are players who purely register for the free bonus, with no intention of actually playing at the casino afterwards. So in the long run these players don’t represent any value for the casino.
Apart from free spins, the no deposit bonus in the casino can also occur in the form of free play money. Certainly this used to be a common tactic of casinos to attract new players, but nowadays this welcome bonus is hardly ever used. Which we can confirm. This is not a common bonus here at Mobile Wins Casino.
Casino Welcome Package
A casino package is often a collection of bonuses in the form of multiple deposit match up bonuses. It could also be multiple free spins bonus codes. Lastly, it may be a hybrid.
It is very advantageous to review a casino package before depositing. This way, you may get more or know how to activate the bonus. A casino package usually does not change throughout time. However, once you are in, a lot of promotions are offered to keep things interesting. Check our current Mobile Wins Casino Bonus here.
Why you should use the casino welcome bonus
Some players are reluctant to activate the welcome bonus. They think it is too good to be true and become suspicious or flinch at the terms and conditions. Nevertheless, welcome bonuses are an excellent opportunity to start at our casino with a bonus. Indeed, there are several reasons to activate the welcome bonus.
- Extra chances to win
A Mobile Wins casino welcome bonus may seem too good to be true, but from Mobile Wins‘ perspective, it is a way to have you as a player ‘try before they buy’.
By offering a welcome bonus, Mobile Wins casino knows that more players will sign up. Instead of spending marketing budget on, say, yet another television advertisement, Mobile Wins Casino allocated marketing budget directly to the players.
As a player, these welcome bonuses give you extra chances to win. With a regular casino deposit bonus, you get a second chance to win with the bonus money and with free spins, a win is just around the corner. - Your money is always available
Once you are familiar with the various terms and conditions, they are less intimidating than you might think. But even then, it is good to realise that Mobile Wins casino cannot claim your deposit. If you break the rules with the bonus money, Mobile Wins casino may decide to suspend the bonus. Your own money will simply remain with this. - Getting to know Mobile Wins casino
A casino welcome bonus is an accessible way to get acquainted with Mobile Wins as your new favorite casino. As a result, you may find new games that another casinos do not offer. - Discovering new games
This benefit has less to do with the casino welcome bonus, but applies to any bonus at Mobile Wins casino. Especially with free spins, a bonus is a great opportunity to discover new slots with the chance of winning. However, the same goes for bonus money, where you can take more risk than you usually would, for example. So a welcome bonus gives you a good chance to discover new games.
Reasons not to use a Mobile Wins Casino welcome bonus
Not every welcome bonus should be accepted blindly. Yes, you’re hearing this from us. First of all, it is always important to read the terms and conditions so that you know what the rules are and what you need to consider. In addition, there are also situations when it is better to ignore a welcome bonus.
- There is a better bonus available
Many casinos have a rule that you can only activate one bonus at a time. If the casino has another bonus that suits you, your playing style or your budget better, it might be better to choose that bonus and skip the welcome bonus. The same applies, for example, if you have to choose between a regular deposit bonus and a sports betting bonus. - Your roommate has already claimed a welcome bonus
Another notorious condition: you can only claim one bonus per address. So if you live with roommates or in a family, sometimes you can’t get the bonus because your address is already registered. - The bonus is not available for your gaming preferences
If you have a clear preference for the games you want to play, but those games are excluded for the welcome bonus, a bonus is obviously less valuable. On the other hand, it might be a great opportunity to broaden your horizons a bit.
What are the conditions for a welcome bonus?
To qualify for the welcome bonus, you must meet certain conditions. While each casino may have unique conditions, the terms are usually pretty much the same. So are the Bonus terms and conditions with Mobile Wins.
For instance, there is always a minimum deposit to qualify for a bonus. Sometimes this deposit is only £10, but often it’s £20. There are also sometimes different levels, where, for example, you get a small version of the welcome bonus if you deposit £20, but a higher bonus at £50 or more.
A round-robin minimum always applies to bonus money. This minimum is shown as a multiplier. A wagering minimum of 30x means that you have to wager each euro of bonus money 30 times.
For example, if you get £100 in bonus money, you have to wager a total of £3,000 before you can withdraw the bonus money. That seems like a lot, but slots are designed to alternate wins and losses. By wagering those winnings, you get closer and closer to meeting the wagering requirements.
During that roundup, there are certain games that do not count or only count to a limited extent. This is where casinos differ the most. For instance, live table games at Circus only count for 33% compared to slots, but each table game at Holland Casino has its own percentage, ranging from 0-25%. Sometimes maximum bets also apply during round games, although this is not (yet) common in Holland.
You usually have about a month to meet the roundup requirements. After this, the bonus expires.
