What is an Online Casino Refund/Cash-Back Promotion?

2007 January 27, Erana Hansen

Often you will see promotions from online casinos where they offer you cash back or a refund for playing at their casino games. So how do these cash-back promotions work?

A cash-back promotion is one that literally provides you with a refund on part of your losses when you play at an online casino over a defined period of time.

So for example, a casino may offer a promotion where you will receive a 20% cash-back up to $100 on all losses over a certain weekend when you play on the casino's online slots. Then over the weekend you play your favorite slot machine but unfortunately lose $150. Once the weekend is over, you will be issued a refund bonus of $30, which is 20% of the $150 that you lost. That is free money back in your hands!

This is fantastic, not just for inexperienced players but for all players, as we all like to be given back money that we have previously lost! This gives you more money to go and play with once again to try and hit that big jackpot!

Remember that cash-back promotions are only for those who lost money during the promotion period. If you were a winner then congratulations, you won't receive a cash-back bonus. Additionally if you played a different casino game than specified or played outside the promotion period, and lost money then unfortunately you also won't be eligible to receive the cash-back bonus. Sometimes you may have to wager a certain amount or make a deposit during the promotion period in order to qualify. You may also have to complete a claim form or send an email to the casino in order to receive the refund. So make sure you always read the terms of the promotion before you play so that you understand when and where you need to play to be eligible for the cash-back bonus.

Casino-on-Net (888) have an upcoming cash-back promotion on January 30th called the "Successive Progressive" promotion. All you need to do to be eligible is deposit a minimum of $150 on January 30th and you can receive 20% cash-back up to $100. You can play on any casino game and if you lose you will be refunded as follows:

• Deposit minimum $150: if the house wins $150 or more - Get back $30!
• Deposit minimum $300: if the house wins $300 or more - Get back $60!
• Deposit minimum $500: if the house wins $500 or more - Get back $100!

Cash-back promotions are a great way to extend your game play and receive some of your losses back if you've simply had a bad run of cards on the blackjack table or your number just won't come up on the roulette wheel. Cash-back promotions mean extra cash in your pockets so take advantage of them when you can and turn the refund into profit!
