Exactly. No matter how big or small the money in the casino owner's pocket is, if they plan to cheat and take advantage of the customers they have, they'll do it regardless of the status and the reputation of their casino. Although of course, it still is a good rule of thumb to only choose casinos with a large treasury for other reasons such as fast and safe withdrawal and such. But I digress, there are very little chances of Casinos, especially ones that are reputable enough to garner a wider range of audience to cheat on their players. That's just a recipe for failure in my opinion and would equate to them losing their playerbase when found that they are indeed committing these crimes.
There is not much of a reason for a casino to do this, even if a casino owner thinks they can away with cheating their customers, someone will find out this information and then everything they have worked so hard for will disappear, as gamblers will immediately think that if a casino owner is willing to cheat them in this way then they will think about the many different ways in which the casino can cheat them and then never play there ever again.
Right. Casinos who aim to be bigger won't do cheating. I think most successful casinos gained credibility because they have strict rules and regulations to ensure fairness and transparency in their operations. In fact, some even hire third party companies that will audit and verify their games' fairness and randomness. A casino's success is built on its reputation for fairness and transparency and if their customers perceive that they are being cheated more other customers will eventually catch on and stop playing at that casino. Anyway, not cheating in your customers is the right thing to do.
Personally, I pay very less attention to bonuses. Provided the casino is honest enough to give me my winning and they don't do any shady things with my account or fund them I'm cool. I only use casinos I trust.
There's actually no way to know if they actually keep their word but I believe it's just a marketing strategy. They may actually give to some customers as you said and I also believe they will give to their regulars. Casinos make a lot of money so giving out bonuses to their regulars shouldn't be an issue for them because that money is just peanuts compared to what they make daily.
That's admiring of you. You know what you want and you know what your limits are, so regardless what a casino will offer, you won't get manipulated to bet more and more. I'm not sure if it is just me but I think casinos use their facilities like offering players free food or hotel rooms can encourage them to stay longer and gamble more or giving them alcoholic drinks because sometimes those who are under the influence of alcohol are more likely to make impulsive decisions and gamble more than they otherwise would. These bonuses or loyalty programs are used as well to encourage players to gamble more because they'll be given a freebie for reaching a certain level of play or may be offered special perks such as access to exclusive tournaments.
