Claiming a casino bonus is no big deal. It’s either automatically claimed or you need to enter a short and witty bonus code during your first deposit. 
But, did you know that seemingly worthless bonus could be a great way to experiment with the platform, take some wild games for a spin, or further polish your gambling strategy?
Let’s be real - most online casino bonuses are worthless. That’s simply because they either require massive initial deposits or their wagering requirements are through the roof. 
But, there are those that can help new players get on their feet, experiment with different games, and even win some money.
<h2>Types of Online Casino Bonuses &amp; Promotions</h2>
Just like the title implies, today we’re all about online casino bonuses. The first task on our to-do list is to go through all the different types of online casino bonuses and promotions. 
In our experience, there are four main categories bonuses can be put into. 
They are as follows:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Welcome bonuses</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Tournaments</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Loyalty programs</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Freebies</li>
</ul>
Let’s take a closer look at each of them!
<h3>Welcome Bonuses</h3>
Welcome bonuses are exclusively meant for newly registered users. Depending on the casino, welcome bonuses either come in the form of a deposit match, free spins, or free bets. 
Welcome bonuses are one of the main tools online casinos use to attract new players to register.
<h3>Tournaments</h3>
Yep, tournaments are some of the most popular online casino promotions out there. 
They can be related to anything - a specific game, a casino section, or a set of games from a certain provider. 
Sports betting tournaments are a thing too. They are way too diverse to be properly explained in one such section. So, let’s just leave it at that.
<h3>Loyalty Programs</h3>
Just like tournaments, loyalty programs are there to provide prizes and excitement for regular players. They typically feature several loyalty tiers with increasingly better prizes as you go up the ranks. 
The prizes are usually stuff like free spins, cashback offers, free bets, and, in some cases, tech gadgets and similar consumer goods.
<h3>Freebies</h3>
Freebies are oftentimes a part of a larger giveaway or just a one-off happy-hour promotion. They can range from free bets to free spins and even cashback opportunities. 
No matter what sort of wagering and other requirements they have, freebies offer free stuff so we just gotta love them!

<h2>Key Characteristics of Online Casino Bonuses</h2>
In the following couple of paragraphs, we’ll take you on a wild ride through the five key characteristics of bonuses available at online casinos. 
If you’re thinking of claiming a casino bonus, these five characteristics should help you claim the right one and make the most of it!
<h3>Eligibility</h3>
First things first, make sure you’re familiar with the eligibility of the bonuses you’re exploring. Some bonuses require newly registered players to be from specific countries. 
Others require a minimum deposit of a specific amount. It’s on you to check the eligibility terms and conditions to know what you’re getting yourself into.
<h3>Wagering Rate</h3>
The wagering rate is by far the biggest and most difficult casino bonus requirement. It’s always the first thing you should check when exploring your options. The wagering rate tells you how many times you have to wager through the bonus amount to be eligible to withdraw the funds. 
Typically, wagering rates are between 20x and 50x. If it’s higher than that, you’re better off not claiming the bonus.
<h3>Time Limitations</h3>
Most (if not all) casino bonuses have time limitations that require players to complete the first step or the entire wagering requirement in a certain period. The period varies greatly from one platform to another, and from one bonus to another. 
Typically, the time limitations are either set to 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month. 
<h3>Bonus Caps</h3>
Almost all casino bonuses have certain caps. For instance, bonuses based on the initial deposit always have a cap. Free spins have them as well - they come in the form of a maximum amount you can win with those free spins. 
<h3>Game Restrictions</h3>
Free spins typically have game restrictions. In other words, this means you can use them only for a specific game(s). This information will be clearly stated in the bonus banner or T&amp;C. 
On top of that, we advise you to pay attention to games’ contributions toward fulfilling wagering requirements. Some games count 100%, while others count 50%, and some even 20%. 
This varies greatly from one platform to another. Take our advice and always check the bonus T&amp;C.
<h2>Benefits of Claiming Casino Bonuses</h2>
What about the benefits of claiming bonuses at online casinos? Do they outweigh the associated risks? 
Well, in our experience, you should claim any bonus that comes with a reasonable wagering requirement and doesn’t require you to step out of your comfort zone.
 As for the main benefits, they are as follows:
<h3>Early Boost</h3>
If you claim a welcome bonus based on your initial deposit, it’s definitely going to give you a proper boost early on. This will enable you to place a few risky bets or take the casino section and spin some new games a few times. 
This early boost will postpone the use of your own funds, which is quite important.
<h3>Chance to Experiment</h3>
Whether you get bonus funds on your initial deposit, free spins, or a free bet, the result is quite obvious - the bonus gives you a chance to experiment. 
You can test out new games, try out a different sports betting approach, or just play new slots you’ve never played before.
<h3>Risk-Free Gambling</h3>
Take it for what it’s worth - no matter what kind of bonus you claim, if you use the funds or free spins it’s practically risk-free gambling. 
You’re not using your own money to gamble, yet you can still win prizes, though you’ll need to wager through them several times over.
<h2>Active Bonuses at Winz.io</h2>
We at Winz.io always have several active welcome bonuses new players can choose from. For a while now, we’ve been giving newly registered players a chance to choose between three different welcome deals. 
They are as follows:
<h3>WOW Bonus</h3>
First up, we have the <a href="https://winz.io/promotions/slot-bonus">WOW BONUS</a> that offers up to 5,000€ and has zero wagering requirements. To claim it, you just have to make your first deposit.

After that, you’ll be able to spin the wheel and get a dashing prize.
The type of spin depends on your first deposit:
⭐️ For a 25€ deposit, you’ll get a bronze spin that can win up to a maximum of 1,000€
⭐️ For a 50€ deposit, you’ll get a silver spin that can win up to a maximum of 2,000€
⭐️ For a 100€ deposit, you’ll get a golden spin that can win up to a maximum of 5,000€
<h3>Live Games</h3>
If you love playing live casino games, you’ll love what Winz.io has to offer. If that’s really the case, we warmly advise you to enter the bonus code LIVE during your first deposit of at least 20€. 
<img src="https://wbcl.justw.in/winzio_live_casino_bonus_4730b24998.jpg" alt="WInz.io Live Casino Welcome Bonus ">
If you choose <a href="https://winz.io/promotions/live-casino-bonus">WELCOME LIVE BONUS</a>, you’ll get 10% daily cashback for 14 consecutive days. 
Best of all, there’s no upper cap on the cashback amount you can get. No matter how much live casino games you play, you’ll always get 10% back.
<h3>Sports Betting</h3>
If you’ve just registered and are ready to get your first <a href="https://winz.io/promotions/welcome-sports">WELCOME SPORTS BONUS</a>, you should consider entering the bonus code SPORTS.
<img src="https://wbcl.justw.in/winzio_sports_banner_70cb2983da.jpg" alt="winzio-sports-banner.jpg">
This will activate a one-off $20 risk-free bet whose value will depend on the amount you’ve deposited. On top of that, you’ll also get 100% of your deposited amount up to $500.
<h3>Other Promotions</h3>
The three aforementioned bonuses represent the current set of welcome bonuses at Winz.io. 
We have several <a href="https://winz.io/promotions">other promotions</a> for already registered players. We’re talking about <a href="https://winz.io/promotions/wheel-of-winz">Wheel of Winz</a>, <a href="https://winz.io/tournaments/luck">Lucky Battle</a>, and all sorts of tournaments.
If you’re a Winz.io regular, you’ll always have promotions to look forward to.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
These days, claiming a casino bonus is a piece of cake. The instructions are always simple and take less than a minute to understand.
 However, making the most out of your bonus (read actually winning and cashing out the funds) is a completely different pair of shoes.
If you’re serious about cashing out your bonus funds, we advise you to claim bonuses with the lowest wagering requirements.
For Winz.io specifically, you should choose the bonus you’re going to use the most. If you’re a punter, use the sports betting bonus. If you’re more into live games, the Live Games Bonus is the obvious choice.
As always, don’t sleep on the bonus terms and conditions page. That’s where all the details are. That’s what you have to analyse to familiarise yourself with the requirements.
