Online Casino Bonus Guide

Online casino bonuses are one of the biggest draws of playing at an online casino like Wildz. From the moment you sign up for an account, you’ll be able to access an array of bonus offers that will give you more to play with and even let you try out free games, as well as free spins on popular slots titles.

While online casino bonuses are a staple of real money casinos online, it can be confusing to know what type of bonus can be used for what. For instance, some cash value bonuses will have a playthrough requirement you’ll need to meet before you can withdraw them.

That’s why we’ve created this online casino bonus guide, to help clear up any confusion you may have about the different types of casino bonuses you’ll find online and how you can spend them.

Online casino welcome bonus/sign-up bonus

As the name suggests, welcome bonuses are a one-off bonus used to welcome new players to an online casino. A welcome bonus offered by a real money online casino will typically be for a high amount, as it’s designed to catch the eye of new customers. The exact value can vary depending on the specifics of the offer; however, our online casino welcome bonus is a deposit match bonus.

The Wildz Casino sign-up bonus is one of the most competitive in the industry. A 100% deposit match bonus, our welcome bonus will match your first deposit of up to $1,000, and we’ll even give you 200 free spins as an added extra. Plus, the low wagering requirements of our sign-up bonus and minimum deposit of just $10 make it one that’s accessible to everyone.

When you sign up for a new player account, you’ll be automatically eligible to claim the bonus. Simply make your first deposit of up to $1,000 and you’ll be good to go.

That’s still not all though, because we give you a 100% deposit bonus on your second deposit too, so you can have twice the fun when you play at Wildz Casino.

Deposit bonus vs no-deposit bonus

There are key differences between deposit and no-deposit bonuses that you, as a new player, need to be informed about.

With deposit bonuses, you’ll be offered a percentage (up to 100%) on new real money deposits that you make. Deposit bonuses can be one-off, like the Wildz sign-up deposit match bonus, or can occur periodically. Deposit bonuses are of a higher value than no-deposit bonuses, and, importantly, they do have associated wagering requirements.

On the other hand, no-deposit bonuses don’t have any deposit or wagering requirements, so they can be a great introduction to online real money casino gaming for beginners. No-deposit bonuses are typically smaller cash gifts or free spins offers, such as the 200 free spins you’ll get at Wildz when you sign-up. While this type of bonus doesn’t have wagering requirements, there may be time limits involved for validity.

Free spins bonuses

Free spins bonuses are a great reward you can take advantage of when you join Wildz Casino. With free spins bonuses, you can play and bet on online slot games free of charge without having to risk your hard-earned real money. Plus, if you land on a winning combination using your free spin, you’ll even get to keep your winnings.

It’s possible to find several different types of free spins bonuses, such as:

No-deposit free spins
No-wager free spins
Deposit bonus+free spins

At Wildz, we have a fantastic free spins bonus as part of our welcome offer. After you’ve nabbed your deposit match bonus, load up on our bundle of 200 free spins. They’ll be awarded over eight days from the date you make your first deposit, and you can spend them on exciting titles like Sweet Bonanza and Tomb of the Scarab Queen.

Reload bonuses

Online casino bonuses don’t just end with welcome offers and free spins; as a regular player, you may also be offered reload bonuses. A reload bonus is, quite simply, a bonus provided to registered players who have already made a deposit into their casino account. They can be very easy to claim and often occur on a regular basis, such as a weekly reload bonus that will give you a percentage of your deposit back.

At Wildz, our reload bonus offers can appear at any time, so keep an eye on what promotions are open to you in your customer account. Any reload bonus we offer will award Bonus Money on a real money deposit made into your account. In this way, you can think of our welcome bonus as a reload, since when the qualifying deposit hits your account, you’ll get a bonus money percentage back on that amount.

Cashback bonuses

The specific details of cashback bonuses vary from casino to casino, but as the name implies, they’re bonus offers that provide some form of cashback to players. Under the category of cashback bonuses, you may find:

Reload cashback bonus
Cashback on total wagers
Cashback on losses

Cashback at Wildz is available when you join our Loyalty+ program. You’ll be automatically entered into the programe when you sign up for an account and make your first real money deposit. With our cashback bonus, you could be eligible for up to 20% cashback on losses you’ve incurred over a limited time, and it’s even paid out on a weekly basis.

Online casino bonus codes

The clue is in the name with online casino bonus codes. Simply put, they’re codes that will enable you to unlock specific bonuses. Wildz bonus codes can relate to our Cashback promotions — which lets you claim back a fixed percentage of your losses — or free spins offers. If you are eligible for a bonus code, we’ll let you know by email, SMS, or both.
To claim your bonus, all you need to do is:

Login to your Wildz account
Click on ‘My Account’ to see your eligible offers
Type in the specific code in the empty box under ‘Bonus Code’
Hit ‘Claim’ and enjoy your reward!

High-roller bonuses

Much like land-based casinos, there are specific bonuses on offer in online casinos that are available to high-roller players. High-roller bonuses often include cash gifts or match bonuses on larger deposit amounts, as well as high-tier VIP rewards. High rollers are loyal casino players, so it makes sense that casinos like to offer them plenty of “comps” to keep them playing.

Here at Wildz, we value our loyal high rollers and have created the Loyalty+ programme to reward VIP players with plenty of exciting benefits. One such benefit is being able to opt-in to bonuses with reduced or even zero wagering requirements.

The benefits don’t end there, either. When you become a Loyalty+ member, you’ll receive 20% cashback bonuses. You’ll even be assigned a personal account manager who you can contact directly to ensure that your experience playing at Wildz Casino is as fulfilling as it should be.

Campaigns and promotions

From time to time, online casinos will run campaigns and promotions that allow loyal customers to gain extra rewards as they play. These periodic campaigns can include incentives like free spins, free table games, and even extend to referral bonuses for any successful sign-ups generated for the casino site.

What are wagering requirements?

Wagering requirements are conditions that are applied to online casino bonuses and impact how you can withdraw or spend your winnings. In the terms and conditions of bonuses like the ones that are mentioned above, you’ll see that they each have a set number of times you have to play through them before you can withdraw your potential winnings.

For instance, a welcome bonus of $50 with a wagering requirement of 10x will have a wagering requirement of $500 ($50 x 10). Generally speaking, the higher-value rewards will have more extensive wagering requirements.

Here at Wildz, the wagering requirements for Bonus Money vary from bonus to bonus and game to game. Bonus Money includes any matched funds you’ve won as well as your winnings from Free Spins games. Whilst you can play and withdraw your Real Money balance at any time, you’ll need to meet the specific wagering requirements to withdraw from your Bonus Money balance. For most of our online slot titles, that playthrough number is set to 35x, meaning you’ll need to wager thirty-five times your free spins balance to play or withdraw it.
