Canadian Casino Bonus – Bet their Cash, Keep what you Win

The online casino business has been thriving for years, growing exponentially with every new advent of technology. They are convenient, secure, easy to access, and offer a boundless variety of games. But what’s really helped draw in the masses of the True North are Canadian no deposit casinos that let you keep what you win.

All reputable casino websites let players cash out their winnings, but that’s not exactly what I mean. I’m talking about Canadian no deposit casinos who give new players free money to play the games, without requiring a deposit first. And, you get to keep what you win from that bonus money.

Canadian No Deposit Casinos

Canadian No Deposit Casinos let you Keep What you WinThere are two ways in which casinos can give you a free bonus to play on. One involves doling out actual money in the form of bonus credits. These are traditional ‘no deposit bonuses‘. The other is by giving you a generous number of free spins to use on the slot machines, appropriately termed a ‘free spins bonus‘.

We’ll look more closely at the basic details of these two bonus options, their average value, how to claim and use them, and a few other important details.

No Deposit Bonus – General Rules

Canadian no deposit casinos aren’t so easy to find these days. Most operators prefer to collect a deposit when giving out free credits. But some of today’s most reputable operators continue to provide them, albeit in understandably small amounts.

A typical no deposit bonus will be worth $5 to $10. That may seem low, especially compared to the exorbitant deposit match bonuses on offer, paying $1,000 or more. But when you consider there’s no prior investment on your part, that $5-$10 is pretty generous. Not to mention, once you’ve spent it, you can keep what you win.

How to Claim: No deposit bonuses are generally offered as a one-time deal for new registering players only. Once you sign up, you can redeem the bonus, which will be transferred immediately into your casino balance.

Restrictions: One restriction enforced by all Canadian no deposit casinos is that the free credits cannot be used to play progressive games. It’s a reasonable limitation. They may be willing to let you keep what you win, but not if those winnings involve a multi-million dollar payout.

Restrictions may also be placed on players from specific countries, but Canadian players shouldn’t have to worry about that. Check the terms and conditions to make sure.

Cashout Terms: Before you can cashout the winnings from a no deposit casino bonus, you will have to make a deposit first, and complete some wagering requirements, or play through, of the bonus amount. This is mandatory to ensure a player’s identity, age and eligibility, protecting the casino and player from potential backlash and/or identity theft.

Free Spins Bonus – General Rules

Keep what you win from Free Spins BonusesA free spins bonus is similar to a no deposit bonus, except that players are given a set number of free spins to use on slot machines. Casinos often dish up anywhere from 20 to 50 free spins.

Also like Canadian no deposit casinos, these free spins are generally one-time offers for new registering members. However, casinos like Royal Vegas will also host regular promotions wherein players can earn free spins by participating in specific events.

How to Claim: Free spins are claimed upon signing up a new player account, or by entering a special bonus code in the redemption box on the site’s promotions page.

Restrictions: Because this isn’t a cash bonus, you won’t be able to alter the bet size. It’s usually preset at $1 per spin. You may be limited to what slot machines you can play, as well. Some free spins bonuses are eligible for a single game. Others may proffer spins on a small selection of games. In cases where a large variety of slots are eligible, there may be restrictions placed on progressive jackpots. See Cashout Terms below for further explanation.

Cashout Terms: Online casinos who offer these bonuses will limit the amount a player can cash out on bonus winnings. In essence, you can keep what you win, but only up to $20 or so. Be sure to check the terms for specific details.

You’ll also be required to make a deposit before cashing out, and complete wagering requirements on any bonus winnings. These wagering requirements are often low, since you’ve played through them once already.
