Reload Bonus
In order to stop players from moving to another casino as soon as they have received and spent their first deposit bonus casinos began to offer a reload bonus on either a weekly or monthly basis. This is a great way of keeping players as it rewards their loyalty with a financial incentive.
The bonus works in very similar fashion to the first deposit bonus except it matches either your weekly or monthly deposits rather than just your initial deposit. Just like the first deposit bonus, the reload bonus will vary from casino to casino as to how big a percentage of your deposits are matched. It is often a lower percentage than the first deposit bonus, ranging from 10% to 100%, which doesn't compare so favourably with the 50% to 200% offered on first deposit bonuses.
The reload bonus can be very useful if you become attached to a casino because you like their games, feel it brings you luck or for any of reason as it is basically giving you free cash. It should be remembered that the reload bonus will come with the same or very similar wagering requirements as the first deposit bonus at the casino.
If the casino's only incentive for current players is a reload bonus then they are going to find that players move on fairly quickly as they will realise bigger bonus can be gained by opening new accounts at different casinos which is why it is often offered in conjunction with other incentives such as casino loyalty points and Casino VIP Programs.
