Money that could be given to you for free for various reasons such as when signing up to an online casino. 

In the context of casino gambling, a "bonus" refers to a promotional offer provided by casinos to attract new players or retain existing ones. Bonuses can come in various forms, including:

  1. Welcome Bonus: Offered to new players upon signing up or making their first deposit, often matching a percentage of the deposit amount.

  2. No Deposit Bonus: A bonus that allows players to try out games without needing to make a deposit, typically in the form of free credits or spins.

  3. Free Spins: A specific type of bonus that allows players to play a certain number of spins on slot machines without using their own money.

  4. Reload Bonus: Given to existing players when they make additional deposits after their initial one, often at a reduced percentage compared to the welcome bonus.

  5. Cashback Bonus: A percentage of a player's losses returned as a bonus, providing a safety net for players.

  6. Loyalty Programs: Bonuses earned through regular play, often in the form of points that can be redeemed for cash, prizes, or other perks.

Bonuses typically come with specific terms and conditions, such as wagering requirements, which dictate how many times a player must bet the bonus amount before they can withdraw any winnings.
