First time online casino - get the free money bonus

So you have decided to play at the online casino, after verifying that it is legal in your jurisdiction, but since this is your first time, you are unsure what to do. Well, don't worry, we are here to help. From our experience, based on the many years we have monitored the online gambling arena, the most often asked question by the online casino first timers is related to the free money and the bonus. A lot of folks are drawn to the online casinos, after learning that they offer free money when you open an account and would like to take advantage of the offer. But sometimes the bonus terms and conditions are written in a hard to understand language, which leads to confusion and maybe problems in the future, when time to withdraw winnings comes. Here is the skinny on the online casinos and the first time free money:

All online casinos will offer a sign-up bonus for new players, often advertised as free money, but this wording could be a bit misleading. Back in the days, there were online casinos which would offer a small amount absolutely free (in the $10-$20 range), but time proved those casinos fishy. Today, when an online casino offers free money to first time players, it means that the gambling website will match your first deposit to a certain amount. For example, if you deposit $100 the first time you open an account with an online casino, the casino in turn will add an extra $100 to your gambling account and you will play with the total of $200. In essence the bonus is free money, but you would have to deposit real money in order to receive the bonus offer. Still, we do recommend you take advantage of the free money when you play at the online casino for the first time. It will provide you with double the bankroll to play, which means you will have twice the odds to strike it big at the casino. Keep in mind that you will have to meet the minimum play through requirements, if you take advantage of the free casino money, before you can withdraw all your winnings. That means the player would have to wager (not to be mistaken with lost) a certain amount, before the free money could be withdrawn as part of your winnings.
