"Bonus Whoring"

"Bonus Whoring" is a term used to describe the process of taking advantage of as many deposit bonus offers as possible. For many players, this activity results in a large increase in their overall bankroll. Because many casinos offer at least a 100% match of your first deposit, you can quickly build your casino bankroll by taking advantage of key opportunities presented to you.

E-Wallets

Bonus whoring involves moving your bankroll from multiple rooms several times in order to take advantage of these lucrative bonus offers. For this reason, it's important to submit your identity verification documents early and keep scanned copies of these on your computer to avoid having to scan them multiple times. Also, consider using an e-wallet for deposits and withdrawals. While these vendors may charge a fee for their service, they payout times are considerably faster when compared with paper checks and bank drafts. In this situation, time is money!

Wagering Reqirements

Before making a deposit at a casino or scratch card site, you should be fully aware of any limitations or wagering requirements to claim your bonus offer and also be prepared to have your bonus released in small increments. While there are a few rooms left who will release your funds all at once upon reaching these requirements, many choose to disperse your funds $5 or $10 at a time. While it will take time to clear many of the higher bonus offers, the end result is a nice addition to your wallet.

Networks & Limits

If a room you're playing at belongs to a larger network of sites or casinos, there may be limits on how many accounts can qualify for a bonus offer. A network with 10 satellite casinos may only allow you to collect a deposit bonus on one or two accounts under the same name, so be sure to read the fine print.

Choosing Bonus Offers

When selecting rooms to deposit your money, start with the lowest deposit match policy first. For example, if given the choice between a room with a maximum $200 bonus and a $500 bonus, select the $200. In this unique situation, you can potentially double your bankroll and use that amount to help cover the higher maximum deposit of the next room. This is one of the many reasons why it's important to deposit as much as you feel comfortable with in your first transaction, as only that deposit will qualify for the bonus offer.

Loyalty Points & No Deposit Offers

When playing at a casino, take advantage of any loyalty point offerings. Even if you never plan to return after clearing your bonus, these rewards can also lead to some free money, merchandise, or other prizes. Once you've met your requirements, however, you should immediately withdraw your funds and move to the next room.

This process can also be done with many of the no deposit offers available as well. Although the process takes longer because of increased wagering requirements, you could conceivably build yourself a nice starting bankroll without putting up any of your own money.
