Name

The list of Casinos are in alphabetical order for easy to locate accessibility. A link to each Casino launches directly to the website.

Cashable?

This indicates whether the bonus is Cashable or Non Cashable. A cashable bonus allows the winnings plus bonus amount to be cashed after fulfilling the applicable terms and conditions. A non-cashable bonus is one in which only the winnings from the bonus can be cashed after fulfilling the applicable terms and conditions. The bonus amount itself cannot be cashed.

Bonus

Casinos promote two types of bonuses including a no deposit and deposit bonus. A no deposit bonus is free money placed into your account that requires no deposit. The deposit bonus value is a percentage that is determined by deposit amount and is given to boost your starting bankroll. An example bonus amount of 500% implies that the bonus amount will be 500% of the deposit amount.

Max Bonus

For this type of bonus the Casino sets limits for the maximum bonus amount offered in money (usually $) terms. If the Deposit for Max Bonus is $100 and the Bonus is 500%, then the Max Bonus will be capped at $500. Any deposit amount over Max Bonus limit restriction will not goes towards the value of the percentage. 

Deposit for Max Bonus

This is a ceiling on the deposit for the purpose of calculating the bonus. Suppose that the Deposit for Max Bonus is $100 and the Bonus is 500%. If you deposit less than the Deposit for Max Bonus, say $50, your eligible deposit will be $50 and the bonus in money terms will be 500% of $50, which is $250. However if you deposit more than the Deposit for Max Bonus, say $150, your eligible deposit will be the Deposit for Max Bonus, which is $100 in this case. And your bonus in money terms will be 500% of $100, which is $500.

Play with

This is the total calcualted amount you are entitled for gameplay. Let's assume your deposit is equal to the Max Bonus, then your bankroll amount equals the sum of the deposit and the bonus. This adds up to the total available funds to play with in your account. 

Wagering Requirement

This is the amount that you have to wager before you can request a withdrawal of your winnings. Depending on the terms and conditions of the casino these rules will vary. Some casinos specify a multiplier which is the sum of the deposit (d) and bonus (b) which must be cleared before requesting a cashout. Other terms may specify it as a multiplier of the bonus only. If d = $100 and b = $500 and the wagering requirement is ‘25xb&d’, then you must wager $15,000 before you can request a withdrawal.

Payout%

At some Casinos there is a list for slots which will indicate the payout percent (chance of winning). The larger the payout percentage, the lower the house edge, for example a 100% payout would mean zero percent house profit ( an unrelaistc number), however, the higher the percent is the better advantage it is for the player.
