I don’t like bonuses and routinely refuse them.
More and more players feel that way – there is a thread at Meister about that.
Increasingly bonuses are only good for those who are versed in squeezing every penny out of them – gaining the bonus amount to withdraw.
I consider them traps anymore – I have a lot of novice players and none of them like bonuses, all feel that it ruins all the fun. If you win, you get trapped into playing and playing until you lose it all.
That is not good business. A happy player is a repeat player. Bonuses are lousy for retention every way you look at it. Casinos should be heavy on loyalty rewards instead.
