Why should I sign up to a new online casinos?

The answer is simple. It’s 2023 and time to look for something new. New casinos pop up everyday and are making money.

Online is now our gambling medium of choice. The latest figures show that online gambling now accounts for 40% of all gambling in Canada.

So…

The future of casino gaming is online and the future is mobile. Businesses are seeing the potential for the perfect storm of cutting edge technological development that consumers are accustomed to in the smartphone age, coupled with a fast-growing demand for casual, on the couch or on the train casino gaming.

By the same token, cutting edge may not necessarily be your thing. Maybe you are just looking for some new slots to play, a killer welcome bonus to add a little thrill, or you’re a huge Batman fan and you’ve just read that Playtech are unleashing a whole selection of DC slots and you want to find the casinos that have them. We can help all of you because we know that every individual player’s needs are different. And we know that there is a casino out for there for every individual player.

What should I look for in at new online casinos?

Different new casinos have different strengths and weaknesses. What you like about a casino may be entirely different to what Lisa likes. Lisa is a Starburst junkie who loves the dulcet, synthesizer induced, space aged torpor of spinning those gemstones over and over again. I also just made Lisa up. (We all know Lisa). What you like isn’t necessarily what Pete likes either. Pete’s only interested in casinos that allow him to deposit and withdraw money through his Paypal account so Anonymous can’t get his home address. Newsflash Pete – Anonymous don’t want your home address. Because if they did, they’d be able to get it anyway. But they don’t. Because like Lisa, I just made Pete up.

However, one thing you, Pete and Lisa do like is an attractive welcome bonus when signing up to a new online casino. Everybody wants something for nothing. Cynical but true. We love the feeling of scoring a great deal – buy one, get the second half price. A free pint with your burger on Monday. It gives us a sense of satisfaction that, in some small way, we have beaten the system that day. We may enjoy this feeling but often, it is more a question of perception than reality.

A new casino offering a sign-up bonus may appear to give us something for nothing, but the truth is more complicated than that. Let break down for you the most common welcome bonuses:

The deposit bonus

Or match bonus, is offered pretty much across the board. Effectively, the casino is matching the value of your first deposit (often up to $100) in bonus credit. For example, if you deposit $100, then the casino will give you another $100 to play with. Some casinos may even go further than just matching it – on your first deposit, a casino could offer a 200%, 300% or even 400% bonus. Seem too good to be true? It pretty much is. We’ll explain why in a minute.

Free Spins at new online casinos

Or perhaps more accurately, bonus spins, are frequently offered with your first deposit. Often this will be 20 or 30 spins (maybe more) on a specific slot or group of slots of the casino’s choosing. Frankly, this specific slot is most likely to be Starburst, the internet’s most recognizable slot. Ideal for Lisa, the aforementioned imaginary Starburst super fan.

The No deposit bonus 

It is what is sounds like; bonus credit for signing up without having to deposit a penny. Of course, the emphasis here is on credit as it’s certainly not free money. Any winnings will go into the siphoned off bonus account and you’ll have to jump a few hoops before that’ll look anything like real cash.

The Wagering Requirement

The way you turn this bonus money into tangible money is by completing the wagering requirement attached to almost every single Bonus’ Terms and Conditions. Now, “The Wagering Requirement” may sound like a slightly naff Richard Gere thriller from the 1980s, but I assure you that it’s all too real.

In the T’s & C’s, there will be a number followed by a multiplication symbol. This number will usually be between 20x and 45x of the value of the bonus and sometimes the value of the deposit. However, the percentages could be even higher.

Let us formulate a simple equation: imagine W means wagering requirement, B is the value of the bonus offered and D is the deposit. For example, Y casino offers 35x. Therefore:

W = (35 X B) + (35 X D)

Y casino’s welcome offer is a 100% match of the first deposit – so – let’s say that you deposit $60 because you like the number 60. Obviously, you receive $60 in bonus credit. Let’s add that to the equation:

W = (35 X 60) + (35 X 60) = 4,200

$4,200 dollars?

In order for you to gain access to that $60, you’ll need to get through a fair few bets. It’ll really get you throwing caution to the wind and wagering pretty hard off the bat, especially on slots. Table games tend to only contribute a percentage of every pound wagered to the wagering requirement. In fact, some games like Blackjack and Roulette probably won’t contribute to your wagering requirement at all.

Of course, it doesn’t mean you have to deposit $2,100 and bet all of it on your first day just to be eligible for a $60 bonus. Perhaps you’ll spin that original deposit into hundreds of pounds worth of wagers. If you’re on a bit of a streak, you’ll meet these requirements in no time at all. For example, if you’re betting $10 a spin on a slot game, then it’ll only take 210 spins before you’ve met the requirement. It’s a clever way for the casino to have you re-investing your winnings right off the bat.

In addition, the casino most likely will impose a time limit on being able to fulfill these wagering requirements. But there’s no need to worry; though we recommend that you read the terms and conditions of a welcome bonus yourself (for posterity, of course), we’ll be scouring through them ourselves. We’ll give you all the details that you need to know.

Some casinos are doing things a bit differently these days. Perhaps a casino will offer you a bonus for your first five deposits (usually of less and less value). Perhaps, like Casumo, you will be taken on an adventure. You’ll receive points, treasures and trophies to level up to the next universe. You’ll even earn Kung-Fu like belts so you know just how skilled you are.

A particularly innovative bonus scheme was recently launched by OJO casino. In a bid to capitalize on the cultural moment, they are focused on transparency, fairness and an approach to Terms and Conditions designed to help the player, not confuse them. They have decided to do away with wagering requirements entirely AND when they do offer free spins, any winnings do become real money.

So why are they taking such a drastically different approach? Totally Gaming’s response to an article entitled “What do Millennials want?” sums it up quite succinctly: “Transparency and instant gratification seem to be the key factors in attracting and retaining millennials as customers whichever business you operate in, gambling included.” Is this the first true example of “something for nothing” in the online casino world?

So, what of the actual games?

That basically depends on what you like.

Some games, slots especially, are shockingly backwards; tacky and not befitting this millennium (a lot has changed in 17 years). On the other hand, some games have a smooth interface, immersive graphics and explosive, genuinely thrilling bonus rounds, complementing a player’s anticipation of scoring a fat jackpot.

Only gaming enthusiasts will know a NetEnt slot from an IGT slot, and as we’ve mentioned this is not mere details. However, once you combed through our reviews, you will know a Microgaming from a Williams, a Playtech from an Yggdrasil, a Bally from a Novomatic and you will know what you are looking for. For some players, this will be a deciding factor when alighting upon your new casino. Don’t just settle for what you’ve heard of – the big betting companies have online casinos and they are not necessarily the best.

When it comes to depositing and withdrawing money, flexibility is key. Not every player is in the same financial situation as the next.

Debit cards are a must (thumbs up), credit cards too (even with the associated fees), bank transfers (often quite slow), pay-by-phone (bit antique (suitable for antique players)), Bitcoin virtual currency (bit futuristic?) and a host of trusty e-wallet services like Paypal, Neteller and Skrill (fees again, but a little privacy?).

However, even if you have a preferred payment method in place and you’ve chosen the casino that you think is for you and you’re giddy with excitement and then you try to sign up and… the casino is not available in your country. We will do our best to flag where a casino is available and verify that it is properly licensed and regulated. Only such casinos will appear on our website.
