There are a few things that are important to keep in mind when you accept a casino bonus, no matter if it’s for $500 or $5.  First, find out if the bonus is sticky, which would mean that you can’t withdraw it.  This is a pretty standard thing among online casinos.  The good news is that you can win money off of your casino bonus, but just once you try to cashout it will be deducted from your winnings.  It’s not actually free cash, it’s just free money that you can win cash off of.

There are terms and conditions (like most things in life) that come along with accepting an online casino bonus.  It’s really important to know them as they vary from casino to casino.  The most critical thing to look for, or ask about, is game restrictions for wagering requirements.  Along with not being able to withdraw the bonus, most online casinos have wagering requirements that you have to reach before you are eligible to withdraw period, one you have accepted a bonus.

It’s important to know which games don’t count towards the casino bonus wagering requirements (game restrictions) because if that’s all you play, then you might not want to accept the bonus.  These games tend to include blackjack and roulette, but not always.

Also, if the casino bonus is advertised as a really high number – like $777 or $888 or $1000, make sure to read how it’s given out because 9.9 times out of 10 it’s broken up in to the first 3 or 4 deposits.  That way, you’ll know how much to deposit each time to make the most of your bonus (i.e., if the first deposit you only get 100% up to $100, it doesn’t makes sense to deposit more than $100 on your first shot.)

If you’re wondering what sets internet backgammon sites apart, the answer usually lies in the backgammon software the casinos use.  Technology moves so fast these days that it doesn’t take long to have the latest backgammon software become obsolete.  Internet backgammons sites invest a lot of money to keep their software up to date, but it is true that some sites offer more improved software than others.

The differences in backgammon software can be very noticeable because the software is what determines the graphics you will see, the special features, the user friendliness, and the speed at which everything runs.  Casinos try to keep their software up to date because any player not satisfied with their backgammon experience these days can easily jump ship to another site.

Backgammon software can even, though not neccissarily, affect the type of free money bonuses you receive, the tables available for play and, in the end, how many other online backgammon players will use the site.

Now, you don’t have to go read up on the different software offered out there and the technical aspects of each; seeing the difference in software is easy, just look at it. When I’m choosing a new backgammon site, the first thing I do is line up a few I’m considering and just jump around their site a bit to see what site feels the best and is easiest to use.  After all, in the end the, what makes the best site is all about what gives you the best experience
