For me, the most important bonuses are Cashback, a birthday gift, weekly free spins.
I don't like deposit bonuses because they are often limited. In general, the deposit bonus is bad
Not really, deposit bonuses are going to lure a lot of players if they're interesting offers. Not entirely bad at all but is just another marketing strategy that can be done by any casino.
Those that you've mentioned are good, having a birthday gift is something that everyone will appreciate for real. Like it's been a year since your registration to their casino and they've gifted you some sats to gamble with.
Or even with free spins but then, there's always the requirements that they should set for an account to be qualified for such and that's through wagers.
You are very correct, I think most gamblers just want casinos to give out bonus, more bonuses and even much more bonuses without any form of limitations or requirements, they forget that casinos are not charity organizations, casinos are running a business, and every bonus they give must be done in a way it brings profit to the casino, else, the bonus is just another big loss to the casino, and as I understand, losses are one thing casinos don't smile at.
