The essentials of every available casino bonus type

‍
Let's share a very bold opinion - bonuses are great. Still, it's important to know your way around all the available bonuses so you can properly judge which casino deserves your money. Sounds logical? Magical! Read on and get to know all the key bonus types, so you know what's worth looking for in the colourful casino world.

Welcome bonuses

This is the most popular bonus type, meant for new customers only. The key thing - you can use this bonus only once. When you register and make your first deposit, the casino gives you extra funds or risk-free spins. The essentials you should know:

• Deposit bonus: The casino doubles your deposit (for example, "100% bonus up to 100€"). The bottom line - you'll have more money in your casino wallet to play with.
• The full welcome package: Often a combination of a cash bonus and risk-free spins, where you get both perks.

Risk-Free Spins

This is players' favourite bonus type in Latvia, worldwide and surely on other planets too, where aliens spin their own equivalent of Book of Ra. It lets you try slots without the risk of losing your money. Sounds sweet, right?

How it works: You spin with your own money, and the casino instantly refunds your stake (usually 0.10€ or more per spin) if the spin loses - or in some cases refunds the stake regardless of the outcome. That's another detail worth paying attention to.

The upside: Winnings are usually paid out as real money with no wagering requirements, but keep your eyes open anyway - or rather, squint them properly so you can read the fine print.

No Deposit Bonuses

A great way to try a new casino without risking a single cent.

You get a small amount of money or spins just for registering. Casinos offering these bonuses are quite confident you won't be able to say no to them once this bonus is used up.

Important: These bonuses usually come with stricter playthrough rules (wagering requirements) before you can withdraw the money. We wouldn't want life to be too easy, would we?

Money Back, a.k.a. Cashback

A safety cushion for regular players. If luck isn't on your side, the casino returns part of your losses. Anyone who's happened to be near a gaming hall in the early morning hours has surely run into heated players waiting for the moment their cashback lands in their account.

Example: "10% Cashback every Monday."

It's usually calculated from your net losses over a set period of time.

Sportsbook and Sports Bonuses

Offers for sports betting fans.

• Risk-free bets: Place a bet on a sports event. If it loses, you get your stake back (up to a set amount). These definitely come in handy every year when the Ice Hockey World Championship rolls around.
• Odds boosts: A chance to win more on specific matches or events - here you have no choice but to follow the news closely. Following our updates and the casinos' news is definitely the smart move here.

What should you know before picking a bonus?

Before activating any offer, always pay attention to these criteria:

1. Playthrough requirements (Wagering):): how many times must the bonus amount be played through before it can be withdrawn? (In Latvian licensed casinos, risk-free spins often have no wagering requirements)
2. Minimum deposit: What's the smallest amount needed to qualify for the bonus (usually 10€ or 20€).
3. Time limit: How many days you have to use the bonus or meet the requirements. Which means there are times you might have to break a sweat spinning.
