Online Casino Bonus
The Weekend Bonus Fair never ceases to amaze at Stakersland, and each weekend seems to bring in a bigger attendance than the last. German, Austrian, British, Spanish stakers – they all want a piece of the action and to get their hands on the best casino bonuses around, and the best way of doing that is to turn up and roam the offers being advertised right here.
Welcome Bonuses
What makes out virtual fair so unique is that not only are these offers selected by our own bonus regulatory inspectors, but also by your fellow members as well. Stakers write in to let us know about the fantastic casino bonuses that they have claimed, enjoyed, and sometimes made a profit from, and we then pass the best ones on to you. We also have a long list of casino sites that are eager to get themselves set up in Stakersland. These sites wait with their bonus marketing materials in hand, but only a few ever get past our strict compliance requirements as each casino needs to be thoroughly tested by our Stakersland inspectors.
First of all, and even before the fair opens up to the weekend stakers, our Casino Bonus Inspectors routinely examine all the ‘Suggested Bonus Offers’ sent in by our union of staker members. Only those offers that have been independently checked via our three-tier approval process will then make it through to the Weekend Bonus Fair. We have a strict routine here at Stakers HQ, but that does mean you get exclusive access to the very best offers in the park, as well as a crystal-clear view of the iGaming theatre in one quick glance.
Deposit Bonus
The deposit casino bonus is one of the more traditional casino offers out there, and one that you will come across time and time again once you become a full casino member somewhere. Similar to the welcome bonus, this offer again matches your deposit up to a certain amount when you make a deposit. Bonus codes are often used in relation to these offers but not all the time, so check the promotion details before you make your deposit else you may not receive any casino bonus at all, and that can be annoying.
Our casino bonus gurus will always let you know if a code is required or not.
The majority of these offers will be a 100% deposit match casino bonus which will double your playing money, but the amount could be 200% or it could be 50%. Often this amount is linked to your loyalty club status and so the more you play, the bigger your casino bonus will be. As with the welcome bonus earlier, you need to be aware of the wagering requirements. Again, use the Stakersland standard of 35x and base the offer around that.
For example, 35x on a £10casino bonus will give you £350 in wagering requirements, whereas 70x on the same £10 casino bonus will end up giving you £700 in wagering requirements to satisfy. The total wagering amount quickly increases and especially so with bigger bonus amounts, so take note of that casino bonus rule before you deposit and claim the offer.
It is also worth pointing out that these offers can also credit an online casino bonus in the form of free spins, and so the same rules apply and you would need to check how the winnings are credited, bonus or cash, and if there is any withdrawal cap as well.
Free Spins
One of the more straightforward online casino bonuses out there, yet one that the casino marketing teams still manage to work a few tricks into, is usually at the top of a slot players bonus wish list. The idea is that you sign up and register your account at a casino that you like the look of, make the minimum deposit that is in line with the promotion, and then you will be credited with a bundle of free spins. These spins will often be playable on one specific slot machine, but sometimes you can get lucky and get a choice of games, too. However, you should still expect turnover requirements similar to the no deposit bonus, as well as the cash or casino bonus factor and whether you only keep the winnings from the spins. So here we have another set of conditions to assess and evaluate before you can think about the amount of winnings that you might be able to take from the casino bonus offer.
For example, with most deposit free spin bonuses you will be allowed to keep the winnings that you make, which means the winnings is credited as real cash money. In some instances, the winnings will be cash but there will be a maximum winnings cap in place. On the off chance, and we will make this clear to you claiming these casino bonuses, a casino may still credit winnings in bonus money which will then come with the wagering requirement rules as well.
As you can imagine, this type of online casino bonus is extremely popular, but the real value of the casino bonus lies in the terms and conditions. As we said, we will always spell out the rules for each of the offers that we display here at the Weekend Bonus Fair, but the vast variations in the casino bonus rules ultimately means that you could potentially have a great profitable offer or one that holds no winning potential at all.
Reload Bonus
The Reload Bonus is a popular online casino bonus amongst stakers and an offer that casinos like to use to keep stakers loyal. This type of casino bonus is usually offered once a month, but it can used once a week at some casinos, and it is, more often than not, based on the
deposit match casino bonus mechanism. A reload bonus is usually worth less than your standard deposit bonus and it is often in the ballpark of 50%, which means you would get a £25 bonus from a £50 deposit.
The rules will also include a maximum ‘up to amount’ and these overall bonus conditions will depend on the casino itself. In terms of whether they want to put more value on the reload bonus to keep existing stakers happy or reduce the reloads and increase the value on the welcome bonus to attract more new stakers.
Three Important Steps To Maximize Your Deposit Casino Bonus Profit At Stakersland
The casino marketing teams have many tools at their disposal to keep your bonus winnings away from your withdrawable casino balance, and all these are hidden away in the small text. These tools will always be used, but what we are looking for is whether the turnover requirements are in line with the industry standard conditions of the winning limit, withdrawal limit, and the overall free spins logic, which is never really obvious until you win big and realise the fate of your casino bonus earnings.

1
Wagering Requirements
We have put a lot of emphasis on this detail already but to make it clear, the wagering requirement is the total amount of wagering that you need to be able to withdraw the casino bonus and the winnings you made from it. Until you have reached this amount, your bonus money and winnings will be locked as bonus money – you cannot withdraw bonus money. The 35x wagering requirement is the average mark and anything below is a good deal, anything above and you need to start considering whether to leave the casino bonus offer alone. It is not unusual to find yourself with a total of up to £2,000 and above, for example from a £50 casino bonus with 40x wagering requirements, this may sound a lot but let’s show you how to you can make this a reality over the next two points.
The wagering requirements are often mixed up through the casino bonus terms and conditions and it would often depend on whether a specific deposit offer has identical conditions to the welcome bonus. And as such, it could technically mean that a deposit offer has 60x turnover requirements and then free spins which do not come with any dynamic turnover is applied. Only fair and tested casino sites are allowed in Stakersland and we take all necessary steps to filter the unfair businesses from our Weekend Bonus Fair.

2
Bonus Expiry
The bonus expiry detail is directly linked to the wagering requirements and ultimately, this time period indicates how long the casino is prepared to give you to clear the wagering requirements. If the expiry is 48 hours, then forget it. Seven days? A little bit better but you will still be under pressure. At Stakers, we liked to see at least 21 days or better yet, a 30-day expiry period. The longer the time period, the better chance you will have at making a profit from the bonus money.
-

Game Eligibility
This last point all depends on the casino and particular casino bonus offer in question, but in summary it means that you can satisfy and clear the wagering requirements quicker on certain games. It is calculated on the game eligibility and the weighting that each type of game is given. Slot games are often given 100% weighting, and this means that all of your bet will be counted. Table games and jackpot games, for example, are either excluded or given much lower weighting such as 50% down to 5% and lower. What this means is that only a fraction of each bet will be counted, and so it will take much longer to clear the requirements.
No Deposit Bonus
The no deposit bonus does exactly what you would expect and offers up a casino bonus without any deposit being required. You will need to register your basic details, but this is often just your name and email address, and due to legal requirements, the casino is required to verify your age. In any case where the background checks fail, you will be prompted to establish your identity either through online tools or by manually sending document via email.
Once you are verified then this type of casino bonus is often seen as a no-risk deal for stakers, although you should still expect further conditions on winnings which are usually capped off at £100. It is the ‘free to play’ aspect that stakers enjoy though and this is why it has become so popular at the Virtual Fair and right across Stakersland as well. The online casino bonus will mostly come in the form of free spins or free bonus money, but on occasions you may also
be credited with free chips.
Obviously, everyone is going to be drawn to the no deposit bonus for the very fact that you do not need to risk your own money, but there are important details to watch out for. Our team of casino bonus inspectors know the rules inside out and they know that everything is not always at it seems with these types of bonuses. Sure, you do get free spins on a slot game or free rounds of blackjack, but the chances of actually making any money are always very slim if not
impossible.
No deposit free spins will require you to check the terms and conditions and find out how the winnings is paid out, casino bonus or cash, and whether there is wagering requirement or a maximum winnings limit set in place. No deposit bonus money will have a significant wagering requirement in place as well, and you can use the industry standard of 35x to weigh up if the casino bonus offer is worthwhile or not. Remember, the lower the number, the more chance you have of
making a profit, but keep in mind the maximum winnings cap which is often limited to £100 and could even be as low as 5x the no deposit bonus value.
No Deposit Casino Bonuses Will Almost Always Come With A Withdrawal Limit
All that free casino bonus with the maximum winnings limit applied, of course, is not a gateway to making money because as we mentioned earlier, casinos are just not that generous. This is why nearly every no deposit bonus is going to have a maximum withdrawal limit in place. It is a simple way to stop stakers taking too much money out of the casino vaults. With this in mind, you should not think of this type of tempting casino bonus as a money-making
tool, but rather a free test casino bonus to see if the casino in question is right for you.
The maximum withdrawal limit is often anywhere in the region of £50 to £100, with some casino bonuses allowing you to withdraw more than that being a rare exception. The rules are quite simple here and so if you attempt to withdraw more than the maximum amount stated in the terms and conditions, the casino will then deduct and remove the excess from your casino bonus balance.
Being able to walk past the casino reception by registering your details without putting your own money down is actually very helpful. Free access to the casino lobby and navigating your way through everything that a paying member would experience is the perfect scenario, use these casino bonuses to find out if you can see yourself being a full-time and long-term paying member.
Free Spins on Request
You will find the majority of online casino bonuses displayed in all their glory on casino bonus boards and homepages of casinos, amongst the stalls and displays here at the Weekend Bonus Fair, and also via the good word of our bonus crackers at Stakers HQ and your fellow stakers. Whereas registering an account and then perhaps a deposit depending on the promotion is enough to get you an online casino bonus at most casinos, some casinos take a stricter approach and require a more formal direct bonus request.
One of the top tips that any staker can take advantage of when it comes to finding and claiming online casino bonuses is this ‘request-a-bet’ option. While you may not see these casino bonuses on display at any of the stalls set out on the Weekend Bonus Fair, they are still very much out there in the park. You just need to know where to look and more importantly, who to ask, and you may find yourself with one or two extra online casino bonuses in your account.
Your best bet, excuse the pun, is to head to the live chat feature once you have registered and created your account. A deposit or two will put you in a better positions to claim one of these casino bonuses as it shows that you do intend to stick around and play there, instead of hopping around several casinos and claiming free bonuses. You then simply request a casino bonus and see what they say, you may get lucky, you may not. But you don’t ask, you don’t get.
It is also worthwhile trying this route when your casino has not offered any casino bonuses in a while. Contact them via live chat, email, or even telephone and ask about the possibility of claiming an online casino bonus on the house. There is no harm in asking and you may be pleasantly surprised with what a little bit bonus persuasion can do for your casino bankroll.
How Do Casino Bonuses Work Online?
The most fundamental idea behind the online casino bonus and this is something that every staker needs to understand is that the casino bonus is not there to make you a quick profit. Online casinos are shrewd businesses run by even shrewder businesspeople. They make their living by running large scale offices full of hundreds if not thousands of employees behind each operation, generating huge sums of money each and every year. Huge sums of money
that they need to pay back out to cover the extreme TV advertising costs that reach into the millions of Euros every time it appears on your screens. They don’t make their money by giving away free casino bonus money though, and the key word there is ‘free’. Casinos do advertise their venues by giving money away in the hope that you will return again soon, but there are casino bonus rules attached 99.9% of the time, and this is something that we are always eager to talk about
here at the Weekend Bonus Fair.
Nothing but free, useful advice and the best online casino bonus offers available for your weekend entertainment.
Firstly, before we get into the specifics of the casino bonus, let us talk more on this free casino bonus wording. Unless the offer clearly states that the online casino bonus is free or if the winnings from the casino bonus is added straight into your withdrawable cash balance, and there are also zero bonus rules connected to the bonus money then, yes, you can take that casino bonus as a true freebie. You can always get in touch if you are ever unsure about whether bonus money is
really cash.
So, in Stakersland, the word ‘free’ does not always imply that something is completely free, although it still may become free if you find some luck and clear the casino bonus rules. As you can see, it can be complicated, but this is why we are giving you
our expert bonus advice and tips. Let us now explain to you what we mean by the casino bonus rules and which of these details you need to pay the closest attention to.
Casino Bonus Wagering Requirements
The one bonus condition that stops you from withdrawing bonus money and any winnings made from bonus money or free spins is the wagering requirement. It is how the online casinos keep control of their treasured money. You may see it displayed as turnover requirements or rollover requirements, but the meaning and rules stay the same. The wagering requirements is expressed as a number (for example, 35x) which is related to how many times you need wager the casino bonus before the bonus is clear for withdrawal. The word ‘clear’ describes the casino bonus being free of any further conditions and being converted to real cash money which is then open for a withdrawal.
If you made a deposit of £100 and you received a casino bonus worth £100 with 35x wagering requirements, you would then require a total of £3,500 in wagering. To make this point clear, if the bonus amount were only £10, the wagering requirements would only be £350 in total.
Keep an eye out for bonus wagering requirements that include the deposit amount as these often double the total wagering amount. It would be written similar to “35x deposit + bonus wagering requirements”, and so here you would need to add together the casino bonus and deposit amounts (£100 deposit + £100 bonus) and then multiply it by 35x to get your overall wagering amount, which in this case would be £7,000 in total.
Essentially, this would be the same as a 70x bonus wagering requirement and a bonus condition that our specialists would instantly call out as being unfair.
Game Contribution Wagering
The next part of the casino bonus terms and conditions puzzle is something called game contribution wagering, and this can often baffle the beginners here at Stakersland. What it means in summary is that each type of casino game contributes a different fraction of your bet size to the wagering requirements. Let us break it down further to show you what we mean.
Casino Game Contribution Examples
- Slots – most slot games will contribute 100% towards the wagering requirements which means the full £10 of your £10 spin is contributed.
- Table Games – many games like blackjack and roulette will only offer a small percentage between 5%-50% depending on the game rules. If it was 50%, then only £5 of your £10 bet on the table game is contributed.
- High Volatile Slots – many of the higher RTP slot games, usually at 97% or above, are excluded altogether or come with smaller percentages similar to the table games.
Understanding what the rules are in line with the game contribution wagering can help you clear the wagering requirements more efficiently. It is not unheard of for stakers to play with bonus money on their favourite games and to then only find out that they are excluded from the game contribution wagering rules.
All of the above rules are related to the standard deposit match bonuses, but saying that, they can often be applied to many other casino bonus offers found
at the Bonus Fair this weekend. The no deposit bonuses are a bit different in terms of working out the wagering requirements due to there being no deposit required. If you want to find out more from our no deposit experts, and find out the latest deals, then click here for more casino bonus talk.
Popular Online Casino Bonuses Explained
Online casino marketing teams use a combination of tricks and tactics to promote their gaming sites with outstanding looking promotions. These are advertised with hundreds and thousands of Euros being available to new members via a range of casino bonuses such as welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, free cash credits, no deposit free spins, and many others. Our job here at the Weekend Bonus Fair is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the casino bonus tools that these casinos are using. You will then have a better chance of making a profit and taking home some winnings, or at the very least entertain yourself over a long bonus gaming session throughout the evening.
Before you jump in and claim one of them, be sure that you know what to expect and how to best use the online casino bonus. Read on as our Casino Bonus Specialists give you a full rundown of all the top casino bonuses available to you. This inside knowledge from our elite team of ex-casino managers and regulator inspectors ensures that Stakersland is supervised and assessed from all angles. The team works relentlessly to make sure that you get access to the casino bonuses that give you a fair chance of winning as well as some top casino gaming entertainment, which is everything that we want from an online casino bonus.
Welcome Bonus (Match Bonus)
The welcome bonus is something that we take very seriously at Stakers HQ. It is the opening encounter that stakers have with a casino, so the bonus offer needs to be honest and it needs to hold value. The best welcome bonuses also show you what you can expect to see after you sign up and become a full-time member of that casino.
The Weekend Bonus Fair is full of welcome offers that have been carefully examined by our casino bonus inspectors. All the promotions that are too difficult to accomplish or those that come with unfriendly terms are filtered out before the Fair opens. What you are left with is a collection of friendly welcome bonuses that are used to tempt in new stakers for a closer look. The standard welcome bonus used by casinos is based on the deposit match casino bonus, which helps to boost the bankroll for your first gaming sessions at a casino.
A deposit match casino bonus is where the casino will boost your deposit amount up to a certain value. Most offers are based on the 100% deal where casinos simply double your deposit, but it is not unheard of to see casinos offering 200%, 300%, or even 500% extra casino bonus on your deposit. Anything over 200% should be raising the alarm bells, and you should then take the time to check the terms and conditions to ensure that what you are about to claim is fair and staker-friendly. It is likely that these large deposit bonuses will come with dangerous and forceful requirements that will either cap your maximum winnings to your deposit or to unfair amounts such as 2x your deposit.
Multi-deposit welcome bonuses are a new breed of casino offer that will definitely catch your eye here at the Bonus Fair. Some casinos display something like a £2,000 Welcome Bonus, for example, and this does look enticing, but it should also raise alarm bells because as the old saying goes, “if it looks too good to be true, then it usually is”. However, as you look further into these types of casino bonuses then you will find out that the £2,000 is actually rewarded over multiple deposits. For example, you can claim £2,000 in casino bonus through your first five deposits which are all 100% match deposit bonuses up to £400, or the amounts may even get staggered with bonuses worth 25% up to £500, which would require a huge £2,000 deposit to receive the full £500 casino bonus.
You may find some of these welcome bonus offers at Stakers and if you do, you can be sure that they have been tested and checked by our team. Working as the official regulator of Stakersland, we accept only those casino bonus offers that pass through our tough compliance which is heavily based on the fair balance between stakers and the operator. Remember, we are only interested in fair and honest online casino bonuses and so we only recommend you the best staker-friendly deals in the park.
How To Claim And Use A Welcome Match Casino Bonus
Find a casino bonus offer that is popular amongst stakers from your country, as well as one that suits your budget and matches the average spend that you are comfortable with. Check the minimum deposit amounts and eligible games that you can use the casino bonus on, so you fully know what to expect. Only when you have checked those details will you be ready to claim and play…and remember, you should never take the idea of gambling this casino bonus as a source of making money, but rather consider it as a limited period of enjoyment at a pre-determined expense.

Tournaments
A well-balanced promotion from Ladbrokes for new members and without any unnecessary small text to confuse you. Start your adventure with a £20 free bet credited in 4x bet instalments of £5. The promotion is available for new stakers making a deposit and a qualification bet of £5 at odds.
The Ladbrokes team have mastered the art of combining bonuses through the social networks. You might well have even been reading the promotion name ‘#GetAPrice’ over and over from influencers trying to persuade you to get involved. Under this promotion, the Ladbrokes team expect you to send that hashtag message.
Tournaments, we know that this is not technically a casino bonus as such, but the special tournaments being run by casinos do give you the chance to make a profit. The fact that they run regularly, sometimes multiple tournaments a day, means that there is a lot of casino bonus and real cash to be won. You will likely have to pay an entry free to participate but the beauty of these tournaments is that they do offer big prize pools and all it takes is some luck to win, therefore, there are no special skills required to enter or to win prizes unlike, for example, poker tournaments. Furthermore, many of the bigger casino sites also run freeroll tournaments, too. This means that you can enter them for free and potentially win real cash prizes. A perfect scenario for those stakers who are more strict with their casino budgets.
Cashback Bonus
The cashback bonus is another much-loved tool used by the online casinos and something that many high roller stakers enjoy, depending on the terms of the cashback deal. The basic idea is that the casino will pay you back a certain percentage in relation to your losses over the course of a month, week, or a single day. A simple example shows that if you bet a total of £200 on a slot game and you lost all of that £200, if we were to base the cashback bonus on a 10% deal then you would get £20 back into your account.
The bigger casinos are known to let you use that cashback money as real cash and play or withdraw it, whereas most will attach the usual casino bonus rules against the money such as the much-talked about wagering requirements. If you think about it then this online casino bonus requires you to lose to get anything back, and then whereas the offer makes it feel as though you are getting your money back, in fact, you are only getting the chance to bet again. It may sound tempting, but it is certainly not the best online casino bonus available at the casinos in Stakersland.
Сlаіmіng А Саѕhbасk Casino Bonus – Fіnd Оut Ноw
The cashback bonus may seem complicated with phrases like ‘money back on losses’ or ‘10% on your net loss’, but in fact, it is easy to understand. Casinos may set up their cashback bonus offer in a number of ways, but what it comes down to is that you need to bet on specific games, and lose, to be eligible for any cashback bonus.
The eligible games will be decided by the casino this could be anything from a specific game that they are trying to promote, a range of games like blackjack tables, or perhaps even a whole collection of games like the live casino platform. Here are a few ways in which you will see the cashback bonus represented on your travels across Stakersland:
Daily Losses
A more laid back type of cashback deal is one based on daily losses and so here there is no specific game in mind, or it may require you to play slots or table games, so your options are still broad. If you then wagered a total of £250 throughout the day on various eligible games and lost all that money, the casino would give you back £25 on a 10% cashback deal. If you lost only £50, then you would only get £5 back. If you won £300, or anything
above £250, then you would not receive anything back in your account due to making a profit on the day.
Live Casino Cashback
Something a little more modern here but many casinos are now tempting their staker community into the live dealer games with a special live casino cashback deal. Often displayed as something catchy like ‘20% up to £100 on your live casino sessions’, stakers would get up to £100 on losses playing any of the live casino games. Therefore, wagering and losing £500 on live casino games would mean you will receive £100 back in your account. If you
wagered and lost £750 on live casino games, then you would still receive only £100 due to the maximum amount determined in the cashback deal terms and conditions.
Specific Game
If a new game has been recently released, then the casino may look to tempt stakers in to playing it by adding a cashback deal for a period of time. For example, let us say that the Mega Slot Game has just been released and the casino is offering 20% cashback during all staker play on Sunday.
If you were to play the game on Sunday and bet £100 in cash and lose all your money (unlucky!), the casino would then put £20 back into your account. Depending on the maximum cashback amount, stakers who wager larger amounts of money can obviously receive larger amounts back which are then enough to enjoy another gaming session. 
Loyalty And VIP Bonus
Loyalty bonuses is the one factor that most stakers claim is the reason behind them staying at an online casino. A well thought-out loyalty club and VIP program will enable stakers to remain faithful to the casino and also increase their overall play due to the many tempting benefits and casino bonuses that are made available as they move up though the various club levels. The more you bet, the more likely it is that you will receive extra bonuses and perks. If you wager considerable amounts, then you will get a private message from the casino to talk about their VIP club where all sorts of mega bonuses and privileges await you.
As the casino space becomes more competitive, we are seeing loyalty bonuses become bigger, better, and more extravagant than ever before. Casinos are competing for your custom and so they need to pull out all the stops to entice you in. It is why you can find a range of online casino bonuses here at the Weekend Bonus Fair as the casinos lay out their finest offers and biggest bonuses. Bonus money, free spins, free chips, tickets to shows, holidays away, mobile phones and tablets, and even cars can be won when you sign up to the loyalty and VIP clubs.
Loyalty is something worth talking about when it comes to Stakersland, so read on as we now look into the different types of online casino bonuses that you may come across on your travels.
The Different Types of Loyalty & VIP Bonuses
Every staker is a little bit different to the next staker and so this is why casinos fill out their loyalty and VIP clubs with multiple bonuses and offers. Different preferences when it comes to playing and spending time at an online casino means that there needs to be a wide range of offers available for stakers to choose from. Taking the time to find out what each loyalty club and VIP club is offering, and the terms and conditions connected to those offers, will result in you being able to pick the right casino and collection of online casino bonus offers for you.

The Value of Understanding Casino Bonus Terms and Conditions
Terms and conditions exist in almost every offer on earth and so it is no surprise to learn that they are included in every casino bonus. Even a completely free casino bonus will have some rules applied such as expiry or simply just stating how much the online casino bonus is worth. For the most cases, bonus conditions are of the utmost importance and the major reason is all down to one factor – casino bonus value.
Understanding what the terms and conditions are and what they mean will ultimately allow you to decide whether a bonus offers good or bad value. If the casino bonus offers good value, you can go ahead and claim it. If it offers bad value, move on, and find another bonus. It is that simple, but first, you need to build up your knowledge on the various terms being used and then be able to interpret them to make a final decision about the overall value of the bonus.

Other Casino Bonus Factors To Take Into Consideration
Stakers sometimes attempt to gain an unfair advantage over the online casinos and so there are various other restrictions and limitations in place that go above and beyond the use of bonuses. Here are some of other factors to take into considerations:
Same device
Casinos do not like more than one account being used on the same device due to the possibility of stakers using multiple accounts to rig the system, so again the end result will be account closures if this is found to be the case.
Same address or office space
Logging in and accessing the casino from a public space is never a wise move because if someone else has already used that public IP address to log in to the casino, your attempt will be considered a breach of the multiple account rule.
Players Collusion
It is sometimes possible for two or more players to work together in card and table games to try and gain an unfair advantage, this is completely against the casino rules and account closure is usually the end result.
Multiple accounts
Stakers are not allowed to hold multiple accounts and this is considered a serious issue which often results in closure of accounts and loss of all money.
Same IP
Casinos will track your IP address to ensure that there is only one account linked to that address and attempt to close at least all but one if they do find an issue.
Restricted countries
There are still various countries from which it is illegal for stakers to play from, and so the casinos are continually looking out for any signs of stakers from those restricted countries with the view to close the accounts down straight away.
Pros & Cons: Two Sides Of The Online Casino Bonus
The online casino bonus is the source of a lot of controversy amongst the staker community, but the real issue comes down to one very simple fact. Those who have no luck with these bonuses are usually not using them correctly, and that comes down to not understanding that these bonuses are worded to make you feel like you have a strong chance of making a profit. Therefore, this is why we advise on using only the recommended casinos who have a
trustworthy reputation and give you a fair chance of withdrawing your winnings without all those unreasonable limits on top.
The Weekend Bonus Fair was set up to give stakers like you a full view on all the bonuses available and all the important details to look out for. You now know that it is in your best interests to read those terms and conditions in order to find the safe and friendly bonuses, or simply follow our lead and claim the approved bonuses that our bonus inspectors recommend.
You may hear stakers talking about being ‘ripped off’ or that some casinos are ‘fraudsters’, but what it really comes down to is that the staker has not taken in all the expert casino bonus information at the Stakersland official website. Yes, the terms and conditions are lengthy, but a lot of this can be avoided by looking through our casino ratings and taking more informed decisions. You can learn a lot very quickly at Stakers, and you should remember this before you jump
in blindly to a £10 no deposit bonus and win £100,000 on your first spin, but only then find out that the winnings are capped at £100! Take the frustration out of the game and make better choices with the Stakers team.
It all comes to down to this, which is a very simple rule created by Stakers HQ:
Read the terms and conditions before you claim the bonus offer or do not claim the casino bonus at all.
You don’t need to claim bonuses and you can make your life easier by always playing with real cash money, but with so many great bonuses out there you would be missing out on a lot of extra entertainment, so let us lead the way when it comes to online casino bonuses.
Pros:
- You get more money to win more prizes
- Sometimes bonus offers come with no risk

FAQ – Online Casino Bonus
The Weekend Bonus Fair is nearly over, and it has been another exciting journey of big and little bonuses and fair and unfair rules. To make the most of an online casino bonus you need to understand that they are being offered by real businesses, who are aiming to take your money by using a combination of complicated maths and sophisticated terms. So, as one last parting gift to help you understand better, we have supplied you with a list of the most common bonus questions left at our reception in Stakersland.
How much money will I get from my deposit match bonus?
It all depends on the offer in question and the casino may match your deposit from as little as 50% up to 100%, 200%, and much more. Just remember that the bigger the bonus, the more wagering you will need carry out to satisfy the requirements.
What other important bonus conditions are there to think about?
Apart from the important wagering requirements then things like game exclusions, withdrawal limits, bonus expiry, game contribution weighting, and maximum bonus amounts are all very important and need considering before you claim an offer.
What is considered friendly wagering requirements?
There is a large range of wagering requirements across Stakersland and they can start as low as 5x, with some as low as 1x depending on the offer. While the average amount and what we consider to be staker-friendly is the 35x marker, with anything above considered more unfriendly the higher you go.
How can I get the most out of my casino bonus?
Playing at official online casinos is first on the checklist as these tend to offer bonuses with staker-friendly rules, plus always look out for the online casino bonus packages where you get free spins on top of the bonus money, as these can often be profitable if played correctly, and you have a bit of luck, too.
