What are Online Casino Bonus Codes?

Henrik Kjellberg - 23 Nov 2007

Bonus Codes for first time depositors are nowadays rare in online casinos, however, some casinos especially Cryptologic and RTGs have deposit bonus codes.

Usually you will find that when you click on any link on Casinopassport you will be taken directly to the offer page at the online casino, without using a bonus code; if you do need to use one then we will tell you.

Bonus codes for online casinos are generally used once you have visited a casino web site and then downloaded the software, registered a  real money account (where you have to deposit funds using your credit card and made an initial deposit).  On making a deposit you will be given the opportunity to enter your bonus code.  If you are joining for the first time usually these bonuses are automatic.

Online Casinos have extensive security checks to ensure that players do not “scam” the casinos and so police new account openings. Some casinos take the view that some countries are high risk for so called bonus hunters and do not apply bonuses if you reside in a country that is known to be bad for bonus abusers (for example: Bulgaria is on the black list of many online casinos).

Casino bonuses cannot be cashed in immediately. Usually you will have to play this money a minimum amount of times before you can withdraw the funds. (This is called “play thru” or “minimum wagering requirement”).  Online Casinos restrict the games you can play to achieve this wagering requirement and this is something we recommend you look at in the terms and conditions of each individual online casino.
