I didn’t’ read any terms and conditions, made a deposit of $55, received $1100 additional bonus and I started playing Blackjack. Some of you maybe laugh at me, because it’s really funny, in almost all terms and conditions Blackjack is a restricted game for those who take bonuses. But for me it was very interesting, I thought when I had $2000 in my balance I cashed out $1000. But when I tried to withdraw them my request was rejected, then I contacted customer support and I was told that wagering requirements of this bonus was 60 times, in my cases I needed to wager ($55 + $1100)x60=$69300. WOW! And moreover I could wager $69300 only in slots and keno. Of course I couldn’t meet wagering requirements, because I lost all money before I met them.

From this time I read all terms and conditions of casinos where I wanted to play. And I strongly recommend you to do that. There are a lot of other funny real stories of those players who didn’t read terms and conditions. One of them is about a woman who signed up at a one casino 300 times. I was read it from a one casino player forum. She complained that the casino didn’t pay her winnings although she didn’t mention that she set up 300 accounts. She tried the same casino 250 times before to win. Of course, the main reason of such players to open a lot of accounts in the same casino is to receive the same welcome bonus several times. But in all terms and conditions of reputable online casinos you will find a condition that a player can have only one account, all other accounts will be banned or even all accounts of this player will be banned.

So, now I’ll try to tell you about the most important casino terms and conditions. Usually you will find them on an online casino web site. Sometimes, online casinos have general terms & conditions and bonus terms & conditions. You should read both…

Bonus Wagering Requirements: Remember, if you take any bonuses from a casino in most cases there will be pitfalls as it was with me, when I needed to wager $69300 before withdrawing. Every online casino that offers bonuses has its own bonus rules and wagering requirements or bonus playthrough (15x, 20x and etc), in my cases it was 60x – the largest playthrough I’ve ever seen. Also don’t forget to check if there are any bonus restrictions for your country, because due to the bonus abuse some of online casinos have bonus restrictions, for example, for China, Denmark, UK . So, please don’t forget to check this, because I saw a lot of times, when for all countries except China or Denmark wagering requirements were 30x, but for players from China or Denmark 60x.

Age Restrictions :You must be over 18 or 21, it depends on a casino, therefore you need to check it in terms and conditions of the casino where want to play.

Country Restrictions: Every online casino has own terms and conditions, and most casinos have country restrictions. Especially players from USA should check it, because after UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) was passed, some of online casinos stopped accepting US players. If you are not from USA I also recommend you to check country restrictions.

Limited Withdrawal Amounts:Some casinos have withdrawal limits per week, per month. For example, if you won $10,000, and there is a $5000 weekly withdrawal limit you will receive $5000 in the first week, and another $5000 in the second week.

Multiple Accounts From the Same Household: It was made due to bonus abuses. It’s not allowed to open several account from the same IP and person.

I suppose you’ve already understood why it’s important to check terms and conditions and bonus rules.
