    Hi everyone! I’d like to discuss whether it is possible to get at least some profit when wagering welcome bonuses in online casinos.

    I registered in one casino recently. I offered a 200% bonus match for new users and 150 free spins that I could use for slots. It looked like a good offer to me. So I deposited some money, started playing and understood that the wagering requirements do not leave you a chance to make even a little profit. I had too high WR - 45x.

    Is there anyone who managed to wager a welcome bonus in a casino and make money with it?

    There was at least one point in time and space where if you did the entire circuit and ran the gauntlet of signing up for slot club cards one could make upwards of $2500. I have not done this recently, so my information is old...like me.

    I choose not to take bonuses from online casinos.
    fulfilling the rollover is very difficult, and every day more rules are invented to make it difficult.

    Research matched betting. There is some good information out there.

    It is risk free and extracts about 95% of the sign up bonuses as profit by placing opposite bets with different books.

    If you put some effort into it you can make a nice side hustle of several thousand a month until they limit your bets or close your accounts.

    So make the most of it while you can.

    Profiting from welcome bonuses in online casinos is possible, but it requires careful strategy and understanding of the terms. One method is to seek out bonuses with lower wagering requirements or favorable terms. I've found success by utilizing specific online casino bonus codes that offer lower WR or additional perks. It's all about maximizing your chances while minimizing risk. However, it's crucial to approach gambling responsibly and be aware of the potential risks involved.

    That sounds like a frustrating experience with those high wagering requirements! When exploring online casinos, I've found that options like VBLink can offer more favorable terms. It's always worth checking for bonuses that come with reasonable WR to maximize your chances of profit. Thanks for sharing your insights.

    The wagering requirement is too high to achieve generally

    It’s definitely tough to make a profit when the wagering requirements are that high, like 45x. While it’s not impossible, it does depend a lot on luck and the type of games you’re playing. Some people do manage to meet the wagering requirements and cash out some profit, but the chances are usually slim because the casino designs the bonuses to favor the house.

    One tip is to focus on games with a high RTP (Return to Player) percentage, as this can slightly improve your odds. Also, keeping your bet sizes consistent can help you last longer and give you more chances to clear the wagering requirements. But ultimately, bonuses are more for fun and to give you extra playtime rather than a guaranteed way to make money.

    Hi! Oof, wagering those welcome bonuses can be such a pain, especially when it’s 45x. It really feels like you’re running a marathon that never ends. That said, it’s not impossible! My advice: stick to slots with a high RTP, keep your bets steady, and steer clear of games that barely help with wagering.

    Oh, and FreshBetCasino? They’ve got pretty straightforward terms and actually focus on responsible gaming, so it’s a decent option.

    this hardly happens, because they usually place a minimum bet per round

    It's always a good idea to take advantage of welcome bonuses since you either pay nothing or very little. If you don't win, you can just look for another welcome bonus elsewhere.
