First of all:<\/strong> Those who generally play without a casino bonus<\/a> do not need to give this any thought when staking real money in an online casino. However, the following information is intended for those players who want to participate with a slots bonus.<\/p>\n

What is a slots bonus?<\/h2>\n

Strictly speaking, there is no typical slots bonus. The reason:<\/strong> unless a bonus is specifically designed for another category of casino games (e.g. table games<\/a>), it can generally be used with online slots. At the same time, every real money stake on slots is offset against the wagering requirement (100% playthrough). This is explained below.<\/p>\n

What does 100% playthrough mean?<\/h2>\n

Real money staked in an online casino counts towards bonus wagering requirements. Depending on the terms of the bonus conditions, the bonus received (and often also the actual deposit) must be wagered several times over<\/strong> on casino games in order to achieve the minimum wagering requirements – further information can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, stakes do NOT<\/strong> generally qualify with all games or groups of games, such as table games<\/a> or video poker. This is due to the low house edge<\/strong> for the casino, for example, with games such as blackjack. The reason:<\/strong> Players potentially have better odds of releasing a bonus with table games. For this reason, real money stakes on table games often do not<\/strong> or only partially<\/strong> count towards the playthrough requirement.<\/p>\n

Slot machines and other games such as Keno, on the other hand, are games with a high house edge<\/strong> for the casino. The odds of winning on these games are purely a matter of luck and are therefore more profitable for the casino. For this reason, wagers on slots, Keno and lottery games etc. generally count in full<\/strong> (100% playthrough). Example:<\/strong> a $10 wager (or currency equivalent) will also contribute this value, unlike in table games where often only a maximum of 25% is offset: 25% of $10 = $2.50.<\/em><\/p>\n

What to look out for with a slots bonus<\/h2>\n

As already pointed out, releasing a bonus on slot games is a straightforward task. However, various online casinos differ even in this sector. The following points should be noted:<\/p>\n
