Picking an online casino to join can be a bewildering business – how do you know which casinos are trustworthy? Which have the best range of games? Is that particular one easy to navigate? Hopefully elsewhere on this site you’ll find guides on what to look for when choosing as well as several recommendations.

As well as those factors listed above however, many new customers pick a casino solely on what sort of bonuses it will offer new players. We would always advise  that the final choice should be a combination of all the good points, not just the financial reward offered.  As part of our series of guides about casino bonuses, this article will explain what the No Deposit Bonus is and how it works.

The No Deposit Bonus is probably one of the most sought after rewards and it’s not offered by many casinos; essentially it does what it says on the tin and gives you some money to gamble with just for signing up.  No deposit is necessary by you and once you’ve signed up for that particular casino you will find a certain amount of money just sitting in your account, waiting to be used.

Now you have that money you can spend it however you like on that casino; we would head straight for the online slots to try our luck but if that’s not your thing you can enter poker tournaments, play Blackjack, put it all on one number on the roulette table  or anything else that takes your fancy.  What you cannot do of course is withdraw the money and go to the pub; you must use it to gamble with and some casinos may even have wagering requirements that mean you must wager a certain multiple of that free bet amount before you can withdraw the winnings.

Either way you look at it though, a No Deposit Bonus is a winner – it’s free money which you use to do what you were going to do anyway!  We should probably add that the amount of money you’ll get will never be that substantial; £/$/€10 will probably be what you’ll receive but that’s enough to grab you some serious gaming time on a slot machine at the lowest stakes.
