This is an interesting subject. Online casinos, such as Jackpot Capital Casino, can offer much larger bonuses than any land-based casino can offer. A land-based casino can offer a bonus to a high roller who will likely either complete the wagering requirement before returning home or come back to the casino soon.
A top-level online casino, again like Jackpot Capital, offers deposit and no deposit bonuses to high rollers and average gamers. It is the large group of average gamers who benefit the most from casino bonuses, and that is what we will talk about.
What Exactly is an Online Casino Bonus?
You make a deposit and you get money in return, in addition to your deposit. Every bonus has its own set of terms and conditions, so it is a good idea to read the terms and conditions to understand what the bonus really gives you.
Bonus Size and Bonus Rate
Any bonus is a good thing, but a 100% bonus is twice as good as a 50% bonus. So, we can recommend that you look for relatively high bonus rates if you are an average gamer making $50-$100 deposits. able to make substantial deposits.
High rollers can take any bonus offered since they make very large bets.
Let’s Look at a Jackpot Capital Casino Bonus
The Litecoin Bonus is for gamers who deposit using Litecoin, a popular cryptocurrency. The bonus is for 250% up to $2000. Finally, the offer declares that there is no withdrawal limit.
Here we have three very significant parameters wrapped up in a single promotion.
- At 250%, the bonus rate is high.
- At up to $2000, the bonus size is high.
- With no withdrawal limit, you can win big and take it all home with you!
Along with the bonus is a wagering requirement. This is a factor of the bonus and the deposit combined. In most cases at Jackpot Capital, the wagering requirement is 30x the sum of the deposit and the bonus. So, in the example above, if you deposit $800 in order to get the full $2000 bonus at the 250% rate, you will have to bet 30x $2800 to fulfill the wagering requirement. This may sound like a lot, but you'll be surprised how quickly you can fulfil a 30x wagering requirement.
There is a limited number of games that apply toward the wagering requirement: keno, scratch cards, bingo, European slot poker, and all slots (unless specified otherwise). So, the big deposit bonuses are best for gamers who play slots above all and who also enjoy the other games that apply to the wagering requirement.
Slots Are Great Fun to Play
Most online casino gamers, here at Jackpot Capital Casino and at most other online casinos, prefer to play slots above all other games. The return to player rate in slots at Jackpot Capital is always in the 96-97% range. This is vastly different than the return to player rate in slots at most land-based casinos, where the rate is 85% or less.

A Bonus is a Treat
Well, in the spirit of Halloween, we would like to encourage you all to see a bonus as a treat. That means that just as you savor a candy received on Halloween, you should savor the extra fun a casino bonus gives you.
Every game you play with bonus money is like a free spin in slots or a free hand in video poker and blackjack. It is a free trip to the castle in Banana Jones and a free fishing expedition in Fish Catch. Bonus money gives you free spins in roulette.
Just as Halloween treats are best when you don’t overdo it, so casino treats, aka bonus money, are best used when you don’t change your gaming protocols at all.
This means setting up your gaming protocols in advance and then sticking to those protocols even though you now have a lot more money to play with.
What are Gaming Protocols?
These involve how long you will play, when you will play, how much you will budget for gaming, how you can vary the games you play, and how you can maximize the fun side of gaming.
Let’s take a look at these one at a time. These protocols are nothing new; we talk about them often in our blog articles. So, here we will simply express the highlights of each protocol.
How Long?
How long you can and will play is a function of how much time is left after you have taken care of business in all other areas of your life. For some gamers, hours are left over. To these gamers, we have often said that gaming might be frequent, but it should also be relatively short.
Get a hobby. There are so many things that people like to do. Make one or two of them a hobby, and then you will have just the right amount of time left for online casino gaming.
When Should You Play?
This is subjective, but we have found that any time of the day is okay for gaming if it fits into your schedule easily.
How Much Money Should I Budget?
The bonus money is really your own money. It sits in your casino account. There are rules that apply to the bonus money, such as the wagering requirement, but we feel that you should see the bonus money as if it were your own money from the get-go.
In order to set up a sound monetary budget for gaming, you have to be totally up front with yourself. If you allocate too much money for gaming, you will likely run out of money for other, possibly more essential things. So, be very careful with your money.
Another aspect of how much money to allocate for gaming involves the super-rich progressive jackpots. We know how much gamers love to go for the gold. Still, we also know that money runs out more quickly in slots with high volatility, such as progressive jackpot slots. So, it behooves you to formally allow perhaps five spins on a progressive jackpot slot per session, and may the force be with you.
Play an Assortment of Games
We always encourage gamers to play all of our games over time. We offer about 400 games, so “over time” might actually be a long time! One way to “force” yourself to play as many games as possible in a single short session is to plan ahead which games you will play.
Let’s say that you want to play slots to start. Budget 10 minutes for the newest slot and perhaps 5 more minutes for another slot that you have not played yet. Then plan to play something like blackjack or video poker for the high (99.5%) return to player rate or a super fun game like Banana Jones.
Five minutes of Banana Jones is usually enough. Then either blackjack or video poker, Caribbean Poker, or Roulette.
As we said, we have so many games on offer that you can play a game that you have never played before, in many sessions, before you have to repeat yourself.
The idea is simply to play a lot of different games.
How to Have More Fun
Make online casino gaming here at Jackpot Capital a kind of mind game. If you bet too much and lose, you will feel sad, so bet less. Then, even if you lose, you will feel that you enjoyed playing.
So, the first step in having fun at our online casino is to set small betting amounts for every game.
The next step is to find as many games as possible that you really like playing and then play them over time. This goes hand in hand with what we said above about playing a wide variety of games.
The third step is to have so many fun activities outside of the casino that you never feel the need to rely solely on online casino gaming for fun.
This should be a cliché: The more fun you have, the more fun you have.
Jackpot Capital Makes Gaming Fun and Easy
We emphasize fun, and to that end, we offer 400 or so games, easy and safe banking, promotions all over the place, and a great atmosphere of happy gaming.
