Casino bonuses of the future
Bogdan LashchenkoMany Norwegian players who play at an online casino choose to accept a casino bonus. Today, there are thousands of different bonuses out there in the digital world. But you can also see that the landscape around bonuses has changed in recent years. Therefore, it is interesting to see what the future of bonuses will look like for Norwegian players.
Live casino bonuses are likely to become even more popular
For a long time, casino bonuses could only be wagered on slot machines. But we've seen more and more people prioritising the live casino. Game manufacturers such as Evolution and Playtech Live regularly launch new innovative casino games. The selection in the live casino today is larger than ever, and in the future there will be even more games available.
Therefore, the selection of live casino bonuses will probably be even larger in the future. Several casinos now allow their new players to choose whether they want to receive a traditional casino bonus for slots or a live casino bonus. We believe that in the future it will become standard for players to choose which type of bonus they want, and that there will be many more live casino bonuses available.
Deposit bonuses will have lower wagering requirements
Receiving a matching bonus has been popular since online casinos were launched. This is still one of the most common bonuses among Norwegian casinos. The concept is simple. The casino matches your deposit with a certain amount. For example, they can match your deposit with 100% up to NOK 2,000. If you then make a deposit of NOK 2,000, you get NOK 4,000 to play for.
We believe that these bonuses will be very popular in the future as well. However, the downside of these bonuses is that the wagering requirements are often very high. For example, a casino may have a wagering requirement of 35x both the deposit and the bonus. If we use the example above, it would mean that you would have to play for 35 x 4000. That's 140,000 kroner. Of course, it's a lot to have to wager 140,000 kroner when you receive a bonus of 2,000 kroner.
We believe that in the future there will be lower wagering requirements. Norwegian players prefer to prioritise bonuses with lower wagering requirements. Therefore, we believe that in the future there will be lower wagering requirements, but also lower bonus amounts. Perhaps the 20x bonus will become standard instead. Either way, we look forward to lower wagering requirements.
We will probably see more crypto bonuses
It's no secret that more and more Norwegian players are favouring cryptocurrencies when making deposits and withdrawals. The Norwegian government has blocked several payment methods, but cryptocurrencies are the solution to the problem. With low fees, fast withdrawals and high anonymity, cryptocurrencies are the future for Norwegian casinos.
We have already seen many casinos offering specific crypto bonuses. In the future, we believe that there will be even more Norwegian casinos offering bonuses for cryptocurrencies. For example, you can get bigger bonuses if you deposit with Litecoin, Bitcoin or Ethereum. Bonuses designed for cryptocurrencies will explode in the future.
We believe customised bonuses will increase
In the individualistic society we live in, it's not surprising that we want different things when we play at casinos. Therefore, we believe that customised bonuses will become more popular in the future. Today, the casino decides, for example, on which slot machines the free spins can be used. In the future, we believe that casinos will give 100 free spins, but that you will be able to choose on which slot machines you want to use your bonus spins.
Being able to receive a personalised offer is possible today on rare occasions for those who contact customer service and ask for a personalised bonus. But in the future, we believe it will be more or less standard.
