If you are a relative newcomer to the world of mobile poker or mobile casino gaming, then you will likely be aware that many gambling sites offer new customers a wide range of offers and promotions to tempt them into signing up. It's a great time to be shopping around!
There are a large number of different freebies available for people to take up, but often it isn't quite so straightforward to access these offers and this is especially the case when attempting to take up an offer via a smartphone or tablet.
So to avoid the somewhat unappetising prospect of joining a casino or poker room that promises free cash to new users, only to find that you missed out on the deal because you didn't understand how it works, or because it wasn't available to mobile customers, then you need to take a look at this guide. In it we'll explain how to ensure you get the freebies you deserve and how to find the best deals for you depending on how much you want to spend and also on how you want to play.
1. Always look for no deposit bonus deals
Without doubt the best freebie for mobile gamers are those that offer players cash, without them having to make a deposit initially. If you are a novice player and want to experience playing at an online casino or poker room from your mobile or tablet, then these offers should be your first port of call.
There are not a vast number of casinos that offer these deals as most prefer matched deposit offers. So check the Promos page and locate some no deposit deals for first time customers.
You will still need to input your data to access the offer, because there's no such thing are anonymous gambling except when using a virtual currency such as Bitcins. i So you should not have to deposit any of your own cash in order to access the deals on the above mentioned Promos page. Once you have the cash in your account, you should be able to use it to play on site and whatever you win, should be yours to keep.
2. Freebie not showing on mobile? Check on the website
One of the biggest bugbears I have encountered with mobile versions of sites are the rare occasions when mobile users who register with a site via a mobile or tablet and then make a deposit, and subsequently do not receive their stated freebie.
As such, it is important to closely check whether you will receive your bonus if you register via mobile. If it is not made expressly clear that you will receive your bonus, then do not register via mobile. Instead, register via a desktop and laptop PC and ensure that your account is set up to receive your bonus.
If you are unsure, rattle off a quick chat session to customer services after you have registered, to check that you are eligible. It's important that you already have an account opened prior to starting to chat with customer services so they will treat you like a customer and not someone asking for directions.
3. Check matched deposit bonus terms and conditions
It always pays to read the small print when trying to land a freebie from an online casino or poker room. Many offer matched bonuses that can be worth several thousand dollars, but the requirements to achieve the bonus might be nearly impossible to achieve.
What casinos don't advertise, in many cases, is that to fully activate the bonus you not only have to deposit the requisite amount of cash, but you also have to 'play through' the cash (ie, wager it) often in a stated period of time, in order to facilitate the release of your bonus.
4. Check whether you need to enter a code to activate your bonus
Some sites only activate bonuses when a code is entered in a specific page on the website. It can therefore be very easy for a new customer, or one who is not used to these type of offers, to miss out on an offer because they didn't enter a code.
In truth, using codes is an unnecessarily complex way to activate a new player freebie as you should automatically qualify for this offer as a new customer. However, some sites still use this method to activate bonuses.
As such, there will be instructions on site (and usually via an email sent to you when you register) which explains how to activate any bonus due to you. Keep an eye out for these as if you miss them, you can easily miss out on your bonus. This information is most likely available in the casino lobby once you login.
5. Time sensitivity - How long do you have to claim your full bonus?
Lastly, it is important you understand that your freebie bonus will likely have a time frame within which it must be activated, otherwise you lose any bonus that you have not activated.
For some casinos and poker rooms, the time frame can be as short as 30 days, which if you have deposited a large amount and have to play through it to activate the bonus, can prove to be very expensive and time-consuming.
So, there's little point depositing $200 to activate a 100 percent matched deposit bonus of $200, if over the next 30 days, you are only going to wager $20, and activate around $20 in total. It's best to play your first deposit within a shorter time-frame to get more bang for you buck.
