Almost every casino online has a matching deposit promotion that may be okay and may be
just and illusion. Some of the casinos that offer $500 or $750 deposit bonus are just like a
magician. The fanfare is real, but the money is never really available to the player. The
strings attached to it are so restrictive that even if you win a great sum of money with the
deposit bonus the winnings can never be sent home due to a play through rule that states the
the bonus and any money it matched must be gambled 30 to 60 times. This means on a
$500 matching bonus the money must be gambled to the tune of $15,000 to $30,000. Those
are high odds against having anything left after betting that many times. The bonus is real,
but it never can be touched and brought home. The better way to play this game is to stick
with really good casinos that have a reasonable matching bonus and even better play through
rules.

The smart casino players are catching on to the bonus illusion and not falling for it any more.
A few of the newer casinos online have done away with the play through rule all together.
The most flagrant of the casinos about play through and other restrictions on sending money
home are many of the bingo casinos. These dinosaurs of the past are still of the opinion that
gamblers are not very smart people or they would not gamble. Even some of the newer bingo
casinos are now fighting this antiquated rule. Players has wised up to some of the ploys that
online casinos are using to keep a player playing and never being able to send the winnings
out of their account. Players that continue to give these casinos business are falling into a trap that can be avoided. It is remarkable that players continue to let casinos get away with these kind of shenanigans. The newer casinos in many cases are aware that players are smarter about ploys than they used to be. For this reason they are coming out with casinos that have done away with outrageous rules and restrictions about what players can do with money they have won. Live casinos do not use these ploys at all and there is no reason for online casinos to get away with these unfavorable rules any more. Power to the player. And down with casinos with unfair rules for the player.
