Casino bonuses play a major role in drawing new customers to online gaming portals and online casinos - the bigger the bonus, the better the player traffic.  There are different types of bonuses available such as the welcome bonus, no deposit bonus, deposit bonus, refer a friend bonus, and so on.

Welcome bonuses are by far the most popular type of deposit bonus, and they are also called the Sign Up bonuses.  These bonuses are usually in the form of Match bonuses and Percentage bonuses.  A Match bonus is where the online casino either matches your deposit to a limit, or pays an additional percentage that is calculated on your initial deposit amount, which would be a Percentage bonus.

The casino may also offer Reload bonuses, which give out smaller bonuses on second and third and subsequent deposits, depending on their deposit bonus policy.  This is a follow up to your welcome bonus and will give you a little extra in the bank, as you make your next deposit.

The No Deposit bonus is an interesting bonus, and the player is not required to spend any of his or her money.  Here, the casino will place a small sum into your account to encourage you to start gaming.  These deposits are usually small sums, but are nevertheless good incentives.

In addition to this, online casinos also award Comp Points or Loyalty Points to frequent players that can be redeemed for money or more playing opportunities. There are also loyalty bonuses which increase in value with the VIP status of the player.

The Preferred Deposit bonuses, or Alternative Payment bonus, is given to players if they choose a specific means of online payment, or come to the online casino on a particular website link.  There are also other bonuses such as the High Roller bonuses for players who play deep, as well as the Refer-a-Friend bonus, which rewards already existing players who refer new players to the casino.
