Match Bonuses For South Africans

Online casinos offer several varieties of bonuses, but match bonuses are the most popular of them all. They are given away as rewards to depositing players and usually comprise a percentage of players’ deposit amounts. Sometimes, they are given away in combination with free spins on featured slots, which makes them more attractive than ever.

The match bonus percentage can be as small as 50% to as large as 500%. In rare cases, casinos offer match bonuses as large as 1000%. Usually, online casinos offer cash match bonuses of 100% on players’ first deposit amounts. For example, if a player makes a deposit of $100, he/she will receive a match bonus of 100% or $100, making it a total of $200 in his/her casino account. Match bonuses can be used on a wide range of online casino games such as slots, video pokers, table games and card games, Keno, and others. However, not all games contribute equally in the bonus clearance process.

Some casinos give away enormous match bonuses, spread over several initial deposits. For example, a casino can give away bonuses as large as $1000, spread over players’ first ten deposits as ten match bonuses of 100% up to $100 each.

• Players should never make the mistake of thinking that match bonuses are free money that can be withdrawn at will. All match bonuses are associated with wagering requirements, which players must satisfy before cashing out their winnings. For example, a match bonus of $100 may be associated with a wagering requirement of x30 on the bonus amount. This means that players have to rollover their bonus amount of $100 thirty times or wager an amount of $3,000 before requesting payout.
• Cash match bonuses are given away only to players who qualify for them by making a deposit. In case of first deposit bonuses, players need to deposit at least $10 or $20, depending on the casino, in order to become eligible to receive the bonus.
• Most casinos continue to pamper their players with a wide range of match bonuses such as reload bonuses, loyalty bonuses, and promotional bonuses. These bonuses serve the purpose of retaining loyal players and giving them an incentive to play. But players should note that these bonuses have their own wagering requirements.

Players should never accept a match bonus without first reading through its terms and conditions. They should remember that casinos give away match bonuses to give them an incentive to play. The bonus money, therefore, is meant for wagering purposes, not for cashing out.

Online casinos offer match bonuses only to one person per family or per IP address. Players may also have to input a bonus code while claiming a bonus.

Players cannot withdraw their bonus until and unless they meet the wagering requirements within the given deadline. If they try to do so, they will have to forfeit their entire bonus amount and the prizes won by using the bonus amount. Since most of the disputes between online casinos and their customers are related to bonuses, so players must spend some time reading the bonus terms and conditions before claiming it.

Q1: Can I cash out a match deposit bonus?
A: This depends entirely on the casino’s bonus terms and conditions. Some casinos do not permit their customers to withdraw the bonus amount although they can withdraw the winnings after meeting the wagering requirements. Even if the casino permits players to withdraw the bonus amount, players will have to meet the wagering requirements first.

Q2: Can I reverse a match bonus if I don’t want it?
A: No, but you can opt out of receiving a bonus. You only have to inform the casino that you do not wish to receive a bonus.

Q3: Can I claim more than one bonus at a time?
A: This depends entirely on the casino. Some casinos allow players to claim multiple bonuses, but players can clear a bonus only one at a time.

Q4: Am I allowed to double up on slots with a bonus?
A: Many casinos offer slots-specific bonuses, which you can claim.

Q5: Can I play any game I want with a match bonus?
A: Casinos do not prevent you from playing any game you please with your bonus, but you must note that all games do not contribute equally to bonus clearance.
