If, like me, you have trouble finding Casino of Dreams’ welcome bonus, don’t fret! There is one there, you just have to do a little digging to find it. After getting in touch with a customer agent I was offered a £10 casino bonus plus 100 free spins, though the details of the offer could be far clearer.
It’s not a process I enjoyed and I was left a little confused by it. I’m not sure why a casino wouldn’t want to advertise its welcome offer to new players; after all, it’s a casino’s one main chance to entice players away from competitor sites. I’d like this to be corrected soon in the future.
There are blanket wagering requirements across this casino of 35x, applied to both any cash bonus and free spins winnings. This means you’d need to wager a total of £350 (£10 x 35) before you could make a withdrawal of any bonus money. And if you were to win £20 from the 100 free spins, you’d then need to playthrough a total of £700 (£20 x 35) before you could withdraw those winnings.
Casino of Dreams also enforces a £20 minimum deposit at all times, so you’ll need to part with this amount if you want to claim the welcome offer. For this reason, it’s not the best bonus I’ve ever seen – I think a £20 deposit should yield more than £10 of bonuses. The free spins are very useful, but with heavy wagering requirements attached, it’s unlikely that players will turn a profit from those spins.
Elsewhere, there was just one other promotion to discuss during my review: a 10% cashback bonus worth up to £10 on any losses of £5 or more. This bonus is available every Tuesday throughout your time as a casino member.
The standout feature in this section is the casino’s loyalty scheme, which offers up points each time players deposit and play £1, as follows:
- 1 point for every £1 wagered (cash or bonus money)
- 15 points for every £1 deposited
Advance through the casino’s five different levels for improved prizes and rewards. These prizes follow the same format in every level – such as free spins bonuses on Thursdays – but the size and quality of the offer will be enhanced as players move through the ranks.
Level 2 perks begin at 500 points, so the minimum deposit of £20 would already generate 300 points for new players. There are big gaps to the other levels, but it’s good to see a system reward players quickly.
