A deposit bonus is a type of online casino bonus offered to players in order to entice them to make a real money deposit at the casino. These bonuses come in the form of free credits or cash, giving players extra funds to use at the casino. Most deposit bonuses consist of the ‘match’ bonus, where a percentage of the player's deposit is matched up to a certain amount by the casino. For instance, a 100% match bonus up to £200 will give the player an extra £200 with which to play.
