[jamesheart]

Hi, My name is James and i'm new at the gaming industry. I have started playing Poker and casino and i figure that there is a lot i still need to learn My question is this: From your experience in the gambling industry what is better: getting a big bonus on your money or low wagering and why? Thanks, James.

Hi James:Welcome to the forum here at No Deposit Forum.  To answer your question, from my own experience, the greatest thing is a BIG bonus, WITH  low wagering.    It involves both.Simply put:My reasoning is that anytime you can get a big bonus to increase your bankroll is a good thing, but if that bonus comes with a playthru that is simply impossible to get thru, then that bonus was worthless and not worth taking. You'll even see a bonus for 100x playthru, which, experienced gamblers know, is just a terrible playthru. Look for bonuses in the 20x and 25x . Those are good ones to get.  Anything above 40x in my opinion is not a good bonus. Remember, a dollar amount to increase your bankroll ALWAYS comes with Playthru.  Get to know the terms and conditions BEFORE you accept the bonus. Thanks for the question.                                                                                             Pam

I agree with Pam but would like to throw in that I never take (or try hard to avoid) great bonuses (I'll take up to 200%) with low playthroughs (I can do 30 times) that have a MAX cashout. There would be nothing worse than hitting that jackpot and not being able to bring home all of it.

I typically play with bonuses......Especially at RTG and Rival. At MG, I will take a 20 or 30% bonus.
