Genie Answers:

Casino welcome bonuses are incentives designed to appeal to new players. With such high competition between online casinos, the number one way in which sites can stand out from the crowd and reach new players is by the welcome deal that they offer. 

Welcome bonuses can include gifts such as free spins, matching bonuses, and even free cash to use within the casino. To find out more about the different bonuses on offer, keep on reading.

Defined: What is A Casino Welcome Bonus?

A casino welcome bonus is a package of offers unique to new players of an online casino. Used to entice players to join a specific casino, and because of this some UK casino welcome bonuses can be grandiose and offer players a crazy combination of free spins, deposit bonuses, cash bonuses and more. Some casino welcome bonuses require no deposit from the player, while others can only be redeemed upon first deposit.

These forms of welcome bonus tend to come with stipulations known as playthrough requirements, and new players should always thoroughly read the terms and conditions of their chosen sign up casino bonus before they register.

What are the Different Types of Casino Welcome Bonuses?

As you can see, a casino welcome bonus can come in many different forms and can even form a package that combines multiple different types of incentives. To make things a bit clearer, we’ve listed the most common forms of casino welcome bonus below.

Free Spins Welcome Bonus

Free spins on a specific slot game are one of the most common forms of casino bonus, and can take the form of a casino bonus with no deposit required, meaning that new players simply need to register their account (and sometimes enter a code) in order to receive this offer. Free spins welcome bonuses are also commonly included in combination with some of the other welcome offers on this list.

Matchup Offer Welcome Bonus

Match up offers are a form of first deposit casino bonus which requires players to make an initial deposit which the casino will then match (up to a certain value). Examples of promotions such as this include ‘Get 100% up to £50’. This means that players can deposit an amount (theoretically) from £1-50, and the casino will match its value. Therefore, after casino bonus registration, if a player deposits £25, the casino will give them an additional £25 in credit, for a total of £50 to play with.

Matchup + Free Spins

This is the most common form of casino welcome bonus package and combines the offers listed above, meaning that when players deposit cash, the welcome bonus will match their investment (up to the stipulated value), and players will be given free spins on a specified game or games, which is usually a new release or popular title. 

Free Money Welcome Bonus

A free money welcome bonus is a less seen form of bonus offer and is a casino welcome bonus that sees the player receive real money from the casino. To receive this form of bonus all players need to do is register an account with the casino, and enter any specified code in order to receive their ‘free money’ (usually a value under £20), to try on the casino as a whole, or on a game specified by the casino.
