Net Casino Bonuses Just Keep On Rising

Back
in the old days of internet casino gambling...circa 1999 through 2004, bonuses
in region of $20 to $100 were the norm. Anything above $100 was the
exception rather than the rule and caused a stir amongst the bonus hunters out
there.
Today, it would be very hard to find an online
casino offering less than $100 in free money to new players. And anything
less than $500 seems to be very ordinary indeed.
Bonus amounts have skyrocketed in the last couple of
years particularly. Whether this has been die to a contracting market due
to various prohibition moves by governments around the world, or increased
competition from competing offerings like poker and sports betting coming of age
can not be known for sure. But the undeniable truth is that the amounts of
money that casinos are currently offering new players to sign up is becoming
ridiculous.
A number of casinos are offering up to $5000 in free
cash to new players and all casinos are having to raise the bar to stay in the
game. Only recently two of Fortune Lounge Groups better known casinos
finally relented to pressure and changed their long standing sign up bonus
offers from amounts in the low hundreds to over $1000.
Who knows where it will stop. But surely at
some point soon casinos will be getting to the point where the cost of these
enormous bonuses are seriously impacting their bottom lines and tipping some
over the edge into oblivion?
Players...get it while its still available.
