Bonus Abuse
Due to the large amount of money casinos make available through bonuses they are obviously keen to protect that investment and this is why bonus whores and bonus abuse is an important aspect of online casino play.
Bonus abuse is when a player signs up with a casino with the sole intention of cashing out the various bonuses that are offered by the casino. A bonus abuser, or bonus whore as they are often known, often targets the first deposit bonus as this requires the least amount of commitment on their part.
Casinos have a set of wagering requirements for each of the bonuses they offer in order to stop as much bonus abuse as possible. Some casinos have stricter wagering requirements than others and it is often those with the weaker wagering requirements that are most susceptible to bonus abuse. Casinos can often suspend the accounts of players suspected of bonus abuse to avoid any future bonus abuse. The terms and conditions that a player must agree to in order to sign up to a casino very much favour the casino in these instances.
Casinos will usually require a player to wager at least as much as the bonus (but often more depending on the bonus) in order to qualify for it and then they will have to wager that bonus about 25 times (depending on the casino) in order to cash it out and withdraw it to their bank account. Having to wager the bonus that amount of times obviously means there is a high chance the bonus will be lost and that is exactly why they are able to offer such generous looking incentives to play.
