Free Cash Bonus

Free cash bonus is a term used to refer to free cash that is given to a player as a reward for either opening a new account or making a deposit into an existing account. There are several types of free cash bonus, and the main ones are as follows...

New Account Bonus
Some online casinos will give you a small free cash bonus to play with even before you have made your first deposit. This allows you to try a few of the casino games on offer before you decide whether or not you want to commit any of your own money. In essence, a new account free cash bonus is virtually money for nothing.

First Deposit Bonus
This is the free cash bonus given to you when you make your first deposit with an online casino. The first deposit bonus tends to be the most generous of all bonuses, and you can often get 100% or even more of your initial deposit value. This gives you double of more of the gaming action your money would normally buy – and twice as many chances to land a big win.

Reload Bonus
The reload bonus is a free cash bonus paid on a deposit you make into your account after the first deposit. Most casinos offer one reload bonus every calendar month, so if you time your deposits carefully you should be able to make the most of them. For example, instead of depositing £10 each week and getting a reload bonus on just one of these transactions, you could deposit £40 a month and get a bonus on the whole lot. There is always a maximum bonus that can be awarded, but online casinos are getting increasingly generous, so make the most of what they offer!

Other free cash bonus schemes are sometimes offered for particular promotional events, but the three bonuses described here are the main ones. Take a look at our directory of casinos to see details of some of the free cash bonuses currently being offered.
