This bonus is different from the other 2 in a few respects: it is available to you only when you fund your account. There are different categories under this bonus:
- 100% match bonus up to $400: The casino matches your deposit 100% with one of its own, up to a maximum of $400.
- 400% welcome bonus: The casino matches your deposit 400%! So if you deposit $100 into your account, the casino makes a 400% deposit of its own as a bonus, i.e. another $400, giving you a total of $500 to play with! Some casinos place a cap on how much bonus it will offer, so you could receive a bonus of 400% up to $2000, for instance. This is a great bonus because of the big returns.
- Match bonus with 400 free spins as welcome bonus: Some casinos offer the welcome bonus as a combo pack – you get a match deposit bonus of a certain percentage and also 400 free spins to go with it. Players favor this type of offer because it gives them both the types of bonuses in a single package.
For instance, you could get a welcome package of 100% up to $1,000 and 400 free spins. The free spins are usually limited to a set of slots, and the percentage of match bonus depends on the casino.
A number of casinos divide their welcome bonus across multiple deposits, and they add up to $400 in all. For instance, a casino could offer a welcome bonus of up to $400 across their first 4 deposits:
- 100% up to $100 on your first deposit
- 75% up to $100 on your second deposit
- 50% up to $100 on your third deposit
- 100% up to $100 on your fourth deposit
In all the 3 instances above, the bonus is not free, and therefore the amount is usually big. Another advantage – there is no cap on withdrawals. You keep what you win as long as you fulfill the wagering requirement and other terms. There are fewer game restrictions too.
