Promo codes: Online casinos and their offers

What is a promo code?

A promo code, also known as a “promo code”, is a 6 to 16-digit code that consists of numbers and letters (both lowercase and uppercase). This promo code entitles you to a benefit, but you must enter it in the activation window either when registering at an online casino or after logging into your gaming account.

What rewards can be obtained for a promo code?

A promo code can bring you a lot of different benefits. Some rewards are more of a cosmetic nature, but other rewards bring really interesting bonuses and you definitely shouldn’t let them slip away. The most common benefits that bonus codes bring you include:

• Free spins
• First deposit bonusBonus on any further deposit (so-called reload bonus)
• Free money
• Free bet

The online casino will usually tell you in advance what bonus the selected code will bring you, as part of the selected promotion or in the code description.

What online casinos is the promo code intended for?

Most online casinos offer promo codes in some form – whether during registration or seasonally . However, each online casino has its own system for offering promotional codes. It is difficult to tell which online casino the promotional codes are for from the code itself. The origin of the promotional code can only be estimated from the length of the code and the use of upper and lower case letters. However, the promotional codes you receive always contain information about which casino the code is intended for.

When will I receive the reward from the promo code?

The reward is usually credited to the player’s account immediately , or at the latest within a few minutes after activating the code. In some very exceptional cases, you may have to wait a few hours or days for the reward, for example until the end of the selected event or competition. However, this does not happen often and if it is to happen, you will be strongly warned about it when you receive the code.

How do I know that I have activated the bonus code and received the benefit?

In most cases, you are notified of the bonus code being credited, for example, through a pop-up window . Alternatively, the online casino will notify you of this possibility by email or SMS . In some online casinos, bonus code rewards are credited to a bonus account, for example, at Playzee Casino it is the so-called “WELCOMEZEE” or “RELOADZEE”. This way you can immediately see all your active rewards and bonuses together.

Unfortunately, some online casinos still don’t have a system that can notify you of all the rewards you’ve won. This is typically the case with free spins. If you get free spins, they can be tied to the selected slot machine. And you won’t see the selected free spins until you open the selected game yourself and start playing it. Only at that moment will a pop-up window open and you will find a message about how many free spins you have available. There is also a countdown window that informs you of the number of free spins left. And finally, another window will pop up to notify you of how much money you won during the free spins. And of course, also that from now on you will be playing with your own money.

Can a promo code be generated automatically using software?

There are many entities on the Internet (both websites and individuals) that offer software for sale to gullible people. This software is supposed to be able to automatically generate promo codes for online casinos (and not only) whenever you think of it. As you probably know, this is a scam!

Promo codes for online casinos are of course generated automatically, however, this only happens within online casinos. No one “from the outside” has access to the promo code generator, let alone the fact that they would have the entire generator at their disposal. In this way, the casino would soon come to the “drum”. Therefore, the next time someone offers you such a promo code generator, tell them a firm NO! You would just lose money.

Bonus Code History

Bonus codes have been offered in online casinos since time immemorial. The first bonus codes began to be offered together with the first online casinos. These bonus codes were used as entry bonuses. So if a player wanted to get some advantage when registering at an online casino, he had to fill in the appropriate code in the registration form. If he did not do so, the entry bonus was forfeited.

Because it was an unnecessarily complex and inefficient way of distributing entry bonuses, this process gradually disappeared completely, or rather became significantly automated. At the moment, all players are usually entitled to a bonus upon registration, completely automatically, without the need to fill in a code. Despite this, we still find casinos where a bonus code is filled in upon registration. These casinos give us the chance to choose our own bonus based on our own preferences. And they maintain a certain sense of uniqueness that is inextricably linked to bonus codes.

Over time, bonus codes have also been used to activate seasonal bonuses and benefits that casinos offer throughout the year, for example via emails, etc. The principle is always the same. As part of a promotion, for example in a banner, you will find a bonus code written in. You then have to enter this code in the activation window, usually when you make your next deposit. This will entitle you to a reward (of course, subject to additional conditions such as a minimum deposit amount or time limit). These bonus codes are still used today, and quite widely.
