How does an online casino tempt you to play for real money? Well, it can start by giving you some of its own money in the form of a No-Deposit or Sign-Up Bonus. You register your details (valuable information in itself) and get around $30 in return to use at a few tables. Hopefully that is enough to get you started. You will need to gamble several times the No-Deposit sum before you can withdraw your winnings.

The conditions here for withdrawing money are less strict than in No-Deposit, because you have paid in your own money. In broad terms, you are rewarded for the money you pay in by getting extra cash to gamble with:

Bonus Terms

1st Deposit - You get a Welcome Bonus or Sign-Up Bonus as soon as you begin playing for real money. In the case of a 15% bonus, you get $115 credited to your account when you make a $100 deposit.

2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th Deposit Bonuses - The amount of times that you deposit money also affects the size of bonuses that you get (between 25-100%, generally). Many casinos give you a higher percentage for the 2 nd Deposit. Others give more when they see you are loyal, on the 3 rd or 4 th Deposit.

High Roller Bonus - The entry level here may be depositing $1000 or more at one time. As a 'High Roller' (and a VIP) you can expect to get higher bonuses than the regular gamblers who risk less.
