Free casino chips, starting bonuses et
all, the casinos try all they can, to attract more and more
players to their online casinos. What comes into mind, while
looking at all these offers is the validity of these offers
and schemes! But it would be appropriate to put this doubt
into its proper context: are these offers coming from
credible and genuine online casinos?
What started as the first online casino, 10 years ago, has
now resulted in hundreds like it, in the online market
today. With an approximate figure of around seven million
people playing online worldwide and a further estimate of
more than $12 billion spent in online casinos alone, such
offers are definitely doing there part in attracting
players.
But, what are these free casino chips really worth, to an
online casino player. Free casino chip offers are of four
main types:
Loyalty Bonus - All the online as well as offline casinos,
want to play safe and keep a strong hold on their regular
customers, and therefore offer a loyalty bonus, in terms of
free casino chips.
Matching Deposit Bonus - This is
especially useful for new players. This is when the house
will match your deposit and add an extra amount of casino
chips to your account for free.
No Deposit Bonus - This can simply be
called free money, as you don’t have to deposit any money in
your account, before hand, to avail this offer. Genuine
online casinos will offer free chips, simply to attract
players to play at their virtual tables. But, there may be
hidden strings attached with the offers, so always read the
terms before opting for it.
Un-cashable Bonus - This bonus can never be cashed, but its
usefulness lies in that fact that it stays in your account
and enables you to use the bonus account to influence higher
wagers. This bonus, in terms of free casino chips, stays
hidden in your account simply to allow you to play bets,
which you otherwise could not.
So how do we go about identifying which are the honest
online casinos and which are not? Well, a lot has changed
since the time, the first few online casinos started.
Now, we have accredited bodies like
eCogra (E-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance).
Also, an online casino player, himself, should look out for
evidence of a good customer care and decent helpline
facilities. The genuine and credible online casinos will
offer 24 hour live chat as well as toll-free telephone
numbers for help. You should also take notice, if your
online casino offering you a subscription facility, so you
may be in touch with the latest news and events of the
gambling world?
Transparency of accounting systems can also help in
indicating the authenticity of the online casinos. But the
best way to confirm the credibility of an online casino is
through personal recommendation and to check whether it is
affiliated to trusted casino websites and portals.
