Which are better: Free Chips or Bonus Codes?
You’ve seen free chips. You’ve seen bonus codes. You’ve seen complimentary chips that you have to call in to redeem. You’ve seen free chips that are redeemed using bonus codes. You’ve seen bonus codes with restrictions. And you’ve seen them without.
Bottom line? It’s all very confusing, especially at Palace of Chance where we have an abundance of bonus codes and more free chips than most other online casinos. So if you can’t wrap your head around which is better, you’re not alone. Thankfully, you’ve got us. We’re here to sort it all out so you know exactly what to look for, what to use, and how to build that bankroll faster and higher than ever.
All about bonus codes
Bonus codes get you a match bonus on your deposit. For the most part, you need to make a deposit to get the free funds. A 300% match bonus means that if you deposit $100, you’ll get $300 in additional funds to play with. It should be noted that while this money can be enjoyed at Palace of Chance, there are usually some restrictions in place.
For example, in some cases, you may need to meet playthrough requirements. This means that you need to wager a certain amount of money in order to receive the funds and be able to withdraw them. But don’t worry. Even if you see a 30x playthrough requirement, that doesn’t mean you have to bet 30x that amount in one shot. Nor does it mean you have to have that kind of cash on hand. It simply means that you need to wager that amount.
That’s as easily done as it is said. Remember, with a $100 deposit, you could easily wager $1,500 over the course of 30 minutes. As you win, you’re wagering with the house’s money. And because you tend to swing up and down and experience win streaks, you’ll meet that wagering requirement in no time. It’s not about winning 30x your bankroll. It’s about wagering it.
All about free chips
Free chips are essentially free money that are yours to play with right away. In most cases, you don’t actually have to make a deposit to earn the free chip. So while bonus codes are reserved for match bonuses, free chips are often free money to play with off the bat—all without having to deposit.
However, that’s not always the case. In some cases, free chips come in a match bonus format. But in many cases, these bonuses are added onto a deposit bonus. For example, you might be awarded a $30 free chip if you lose your $30 initial deposit.
Free chips are often handed out through our social media circles, via email as a surprises, and through other means. It should be noted, however, that some free chips come with wagering requirements and cashout limits.
It should also be noted that while some free chips require a bonus code, others require players to call customer service to redeem it. This is done to ensure that players have met all the requirements, and to ensure that a ridiculous number of free chips aren’t floating around the internet.
Free chips are harder to come by
If you want to get your hands on a bonus code, there’s no shortage of places to look. We’ve got daily promotions, monthly promotions, and all kinds of random promos. Free chips, however, are generally harder to come by than Bonus Codes, particularly at Palace of Chance. Just take a look at our daily promotions in March for proof.
