How to Avoid Bonus Abuse: A 5-Step Guide

1. Don’t Create Multiple Accounts

Of all the definite no nos around, this one tops the list. While many think they can outsmart casinos by creating multiple accounts using different email addresses, in a frivolous attempt to claim the same bonus multiple times, they’re sorely mistaken. Casinos can easily detect this from a person’s IP address, so it’s easily traceable. And once the casino suspects such practice, it’ll quickly investigate.But, if you have a plausible explanation for having multiple accounts from the same IP address (e.g. if your partner has a separate account registered) you’ll be given a chance to explain, and your account won’t be abruptly disabled.

2. Avoid Claiming the Same Bonus Twice

While this might be an obvious one, some players still try to claim the same bonus more than once. Normally, the moment the casino picks up on this, it simply blocks the player from receiving the bonus.

Occasionally, players still manage to get their hands on bonuses they are no longer entitled to, but this is usually a glitch – one that is sooner or later realized by the casino. Once this happens, your bonus money along with any prizes won while using it will be immediately confiscated.  So our advice is simple: don’t be greedy and only claim bonuses you’re actually entitled to.

3. Ensure You Meet the Wagering Requirements

Meeting the wagering requirements comes part and parcel with being able to benefit from any casino bonus. Attempting to withdraw bonus funds without doing so will almost certainly put you in the casino’s bad books. Apart from that, it’s highly improbable that your withdrawal will be approved, so you need to ask yourself if it’s worth the unnecessary risk. Not to mention, if you do take the risk, the casino will know you’re untrustworthy, and could quite possibly ban you from their site.

If numbers aren’t your forte, be sure to:

• Read the wagering requirements extra carefully
• Choose a casino with a bonus tracker
• Contact customer support (especially when in doubt about whether you should make a withdrawal)
