More
online bingo sites have been opening recently to accommodate the increasing
number of online players. These online bingo sites offer almost similar games
and features that leave players confused where to sign up. This is the most
common dilemma that new players always encounter: choosing the best online
bingo sites to play with. Because most of these online sites offer the same
features, the only thing that gives an edge over the other is the bonus and
prizes they offer. If you were to choose between two sites offering the same
set of games with different bonuses, what do you think would you choose? Most
likely, you will choose the site that gives you a higher return.
Bonuses
and prizes are integral parts of online bingo sites. Without these two, players
will not stay too long on the site because they have nothing to look forward
to. Because of the need to gather more players so as to increase their player
base, most online bingo sites lure new players by giving welcome bonuses and other tempting offers.
There
are basically two kinds of welcome bonus offers that are very popular today and
what most bingo sites are offering. These are the NO DEPOSIT BONUS offers,
which gives new players free money after signing up, without the need to invest
their own money. And the other one is the WELCOME BONUS based on a certain
percentage of your first deposit. The second type of bonus requires you to make
a minimum deposit in order to register to the site. The amount of your deposit will then be
multiplied to their current offer.
Most
no deposit bonuses are quite small, ranging from $5 to $10, while the
percentage promotions range from 100% to 300% of your first deposit. However, there
are some sites that are very generous, they give $25-$30 no deposit bonus plus
400% -1150% bonus on your first deposit. That basically sums up to a huge
amount.
You
may wonder how these sites can afford these huge bonuses. One reason might be
because they already have a large player base from which they derived their
revenues. It is given that if you have a large player base, especially sites
that require deposits, you also have a huge bankroll. More players
automatically imply more deposits and more deposits mean more income. Another
reason why some sites are very generous with their bonuses is because their
bonus offers are non-cashable.
Other big bonuses have accompanying terms and
conditions that restrict the amount of cash out winnings, meaning that you can
only use that bonus to play the games until you reach the maximum amount of
winnings. And if you happen to win, the only amount you can withdraw is the
winnings less the bonus.
For
whatever reason it may be, online bingo sites still continue to use this
marketing scheme to promote the site and gain new players. Just take advantage
of the offers given by these generous sites, but don’t forget to read the
applicable terms and conditions.
