Best casino sign-up bonuses

Casino sign-up bonuses (a.k.a. welcome bonuses) are offered by almost every online casino as a way of enticing you to try their casino. They come in many forms, but the most common is a "match bonus" where the casino awards you a bonus that matches the amount of your first deposit. So for example, a 200% match bonus means that if you deposit $100, the casino will give you another $200 to play with. You can read all about casino bonuses in our beginner's guide to casino bonuses.

Below we list the best welcome bonuses on offer, ranked using a formula we have devised that estimates the bonus value, taking into account the quality of the casino, the size of the bonus, the amount of wagering required before withdrawal, the expected value after completing wagering, and the risk to your bankroll, among other things.

There are two main types of casino sign-up bonuses:

• Cashable sign-up bonuses: bonuses you can keep after meeting wager requirements. Look for the dot in the "Cash" column below.
• Non-cashable sign-up bonuses: (a.k.a. sticky) bonuses you can wager and keep winnings, but you cannot keep the bonus money itself.
