Hello cgoodrich09: WELCOME TO THE NO DEPOSIT FORUM............

To answer your question about bonuses, here is my take on it.Bonuses are okay to take with a deposit if you like to start your bankroll a little bigger.  However then you have to deal with the  PLAYTHRU  the amount you must wager before a cashout is available.My advice is never take a bonus if the playthru terms are more than 30X. Otherwise you may never see the end of the road with trying to meet the playthru requierments.Personally I do not take a bonus, and another reason is what is called a  MAX CASH OUT.   Some bonuses are tied to a limit of what you can actually withdrawl if you do if fact make playthru.  So if you are lucky enough to hit a random jackpot, you are never going to see but a portion of it.
