Before claiming any online casino bonus always be sure to read the terms and conditions of the bonus to make sure the games you are planning on playing count towards earning your bonus.

When you visit an online casino you will notice many highlight their bonus and display it prominently. A free $5000 bonus may sound awesome but if you have to play games you do not want to play in order to clear the bonus it is not worth it. Most bonuses prominently displayed on online casino homepages is for playing online slots. Most times you have to visit the casino promotions page to find bonuses valid for table games and many times the bonus is much less than the slots bonus. The reason for this is simple. The casino advantage for table games is much lower than slots, hence the smaller bonus. When it comes to live dealer play, the casino advantage is even lower and that is the main reason bonuses are generally not valid for playing live dealer games.
As a player, the fact the bonuses are not valid for live dealer play is actually a good thing. Although you miss out on being able to claim some free money, it tells you that your chances of winning when playing at a live dealer casino is much better than playing any other game. The fact the casino cannot afford to offer bonuses tells you the casino advantage must be pretty low which in the long run benefits you as a player.
So be careful when you thinking about claiming a casino bonus. Read the terms and conditions to make sure the bonus is valid for live dealer play. In many instances it is not, you must play standard online games and/or slots to clear your bonus. If you plan on playing games other than just live games then it may be worth while to claim but if you only plan on playing at live dealer games then you should not claim the bonus.
