History of bonus-hunters
Very long time ago, when bonuses were big, and an Internet casino and requirements on wager were small, the world did not know such a concept as bonus hunter. That is, the very word yet did not exist, though ancestors of bonus-hunters existed for certain. However still about ten years ago there were no talks about mass bonus-hunt, that was connected first of all with novelty of the Internet, and furthermore gambling online.
I think, that any person, playing online (in foreign casinos), can answer a question, what country has generated a mass movement of bonus-hunters? Certainly, Denmark! And business was so: some Dane (or group of Danes) had understood that playing a casino fairly you will not win a lot of money, you will lose! And on the other hand, you do the deposit in $100, for what the casino gives you from above $100 more, asking ridiculously little - to make some dozens of rates. Fifteen minutes of playing your favorite game and the casino requirement is executed, and you have been gifted practically $100 and this sum has not decreased! Thus, for an evening it is possible to visit pair of casino, having earned about $200 almost without risking!
But it was a little simple to open this way, it was necessary to inform it to the public. On the central TV of Denmark there was a program which has told about a new way of enrichment. After that epidemic bonus hunt begun. The Danes having an access to the Internet, have captivated an online casino, squeezing out from them easy money. In the country clubs of players began to be formed, sites with the information on “tasty” bonuses and new casinos appeared. I do not know, how many dollars have settled in pockets of enterprising Danes, but I communicated with one of them, he has told, that during time of ?a gold fever? has bypassed about 200 casinos! Increase this figure at least by $100 and receive the number comparable to the annual salary of an average European (to speak nothing of the salary of an average Russian).
But such situation could not proceed long, casinos suffered substantial damages as “infection” began to spread beyond the limits of the Danish kingdom. What measures have been undertaken by casinos? They are different ones.
Some of them in general have closed doors for players from Denmark, others have ceased to give to Danes bonuses, the third started to increase requirements on wager (to size of the rates necessary for reception by the player of the right to remove a bonus), the fourth have entered so-called “sticky” bonuses (the player cannot remove bonus size, he can play only on it), the fifth started to forbid non-risky rates (non-risky rate, for example, on black and red simultaneously when the player practically at any result of game does not lose or loses a little) or games with non-risky rates (such as roulette, sic bo, baccarat, bones) for ?playing back? a bonus, the sixth ones have forbidden low-advantage-casinos for games with wager-performance (first of all blackjack and video poker, and some have left only slots), and the seventh and so on took on arms some other methods!
As a result by present time practically there I no casino which would be a tidbit for bonus-hunters. Now for happiness it is considered to find a casino which would not offer a sticky bonus with wager at least 10-20 sizes of a bonus where it is possible to win back a bonus in blackjack or video poker, but such casinos are ever less.
Another problem of bonus-hunters has appeared recently - check of a casino of results of game of the players. If the player has tried to draw out money before performance of requirements on wager if the player has made wager and at once has drawn out money he very much risks to receive ?a red card? from a casino (the exile wave of bonus-hunters from new casinos from Cryptologic recently has swept a lot of bonus-hunters). The players suspected in bonus-hunt, can be deprived of a bonus and a prize, casino can close their account, and also transfer the information in other casinos with the same software. And if the casino finds out, that representatives of any country too actively use hospitality of a casino also the country entirely can fill up the black list. By the present moment for the reason of bonus-hunt, except Denmark, restrictions on citizens of Israel, China, Hong Kong, and also Ukraine and Latvia (Cryptologic), Russia (Bossmedia) are imposed.
