Casino bonuses can be a great thing. However, whether they are really worthwhile depends largely on the respective wagering requirements. With every deal, you have to study the small print again to get clarity. That can be annoying. However, if Martyn Hannah, co-founder of a large casino comparison site for the UK market, has his way, such requirements should be clearly regulated in future or even abolished altogether.
Bonus offers or competitions, free bets and similar promotions or prizes can bring nice benefits: An extra 100 euros to get you started, the chance to win higher odds, a bet with a lower risk and sometimes even the chance to win a little more. High bonuses are also possible if they are within the legal framework. But what actually makes such deals so psychologically attractive?
The US National Football League (NFL) season causes an immense stir year after year. More than 17 million people watch the games live in the stadiums in the United States alone - not to mention the viewing figures for the television broadcasts. Overall, the NFL is one of the most attention-grabbing professional leagues in the world. The national betting volume is correspondingly huge. In order to get as big a slice of the cake as possible, the local bookies are already competing with pretty special bonus offers at the start of the new season.
It has long been perfectly normal for gambling companies to sponsor football teams or even entire leagues. However, when one of the largest sports betting providers in the world cooperates with the most important international football competition at club level, it does make waves: This is underpinned by the global partnership between bet365 and the Champions League until 2027 announced at the end of August. The British bookie is not only the first ‘betting partner’ of the tournament, the collaboration also begins with a bumper promotion for its customers.
Scratch cards are real gambling classics. At least many players of a certain age will remember that as children they were able to quickly scratch off a ticket with their parents or relatives (albeit dubiously today) when they handed in their weekly lottery ticket. To this day, the small, colourful tickets with their promising fields are a real hit for a quick game in between. To make them more attractive and contemporary and bring them into the digital here and now, Sachsenlotto has come up with a special feature called GlüXBooster.
Summer has been back in Germany for a few days now. With temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees, it's particularly pleasant near the water, in the park or in the garden at home. But there is also a lot going on in German online casinos during the warmest time of the year. We therefore took a look around for hot slot machines and summer bonus offers.
Nowadays there is hardly an online casino which does not advertise with an allegedly attractive welcome bonus. The main aim of the gambling providers is to increase the number of members. In view of the constantly increasing number of online casinos this is no mean feat. To be able to survive the market, the providers must set their services apart from that of the competitors either by providing an exclusive game portfolio or with a lucrative bonus offer. As a potential player one has the privilege to choose the favourite provider and receive significantly higher bonuses then previous times, when there were less virtual casinos. But watch out: There are a number of pitfalls which could be the downfall of inexperienced players.
