    Here is what I have learned:

    1. Wagering requirements

    Always check if the wager is applied to bonus or to bonus+deposit. In second case you'll have to bet 2 times more if you take 100% bonus and 3 times more for 50% etc.

    2. Game restrictions
    Many casinos have restrictions on games you can play with active bonus. Some games won't contribute or contribute less towards wagering requirements and in some casinos your bonus will be canceled after you play certain games.

    3. Maximum bet
    Always check maximum allowed bet. Normally, you won't be allowed to ber more than $5-10. This is another reason to cancel a bonus.

    also, be careful if casino offering you a highroller bonus, but the max bet for this bonus stays the same €5, this is incredibly hard to wager bonus. if they increse max bet for highroller bonus, that's good, but I rarely seen this.

    I think there was a discussion on Casino Cruise highroller bonus. A player was granted this bonus and manager said he could play with any bets. In the end the bonus was voided cause of breach max bet rule. But it's more about fraud than about general recommendations.

    Playing games that are restricted for 1st deposit bonus is not that bad like making a bigger bet. If ypu do a big bet - they will not pay you winnings. Do they can cut your winnings for playing restricted games, ot that games will just not give you a wager?

    Depends on the casino, mate. Normally it is written in their rules. But as a general rule, they would cancel your bonus after you play some pokies if they are not willing to pay; if it is a more player-friendly casino, they would cancel all wagering on certain pokies just to protect themself from abusers.
