Cashback bonuses are definitely the most straightforward. I’ve been using Black Lotus lately and their 200% match up to $7000 looks tempting, but the 60x wagering requirement is exactly what the OP is warning about. These casinos aren’t in the business of giving away free money. I tracked my spending at three different casinos last year and found that even with “generous” loyalty programs, I was getting back less than 0.7% of my total spend. The math just doesn’t work in our favor. One thing I’d add to this guide is that some casinos like Bovada have lower wagering requirements (25x) which makes their welcome offers actually somewhat reasonable compared to industry standard. Anyone else notice how these requirements keep creeping up year after year?
