<h2>What is Bonus Hunting</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Casino bonus hunting means that a player can mathematically gain an edge over the house. That will help him to turn the bonus into a profit. Bonus bagging arbitrage is when a player bets on all possible outcomes. Well, this is a good way to get guaranteed profits, but it can lead to a ban in the entire casino network.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's not illegal, but it's definitely against the terms and conditions of any casino. It is better for players not to violate the terms of the casino, as any violation of them can lead to anything from refusal to withdraw winnings to a complete ban, so naturally you will want to avoid this.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Almost every bonus comes with a wagering requirement and this is what every player must meet before they can cash out winnings. Bonus hunting will give players an edge in meeting these requirements, resulting in guaranteed profits. They can use one bonus and then quickly hunt down another bonus right after completing the first one. Players who gol from casino to casino quickly grabbing one-time bonuses may go unnoticed for a long time, but not forever.</p>

<h3 class="has-mercury-clouds-background-color has-background">Understand how wagering requirements work</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In order for an online casino to have no reason to consider you a bonus hunter, you need to understand how its wagering requirements work. For inexperienced players, wagering requirements are simply the number of times you need to wager before you can request a withdrawal. Do not take a casino bonus if you absolutely do not know how to wager it!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"mercury-white","textColor":"mercury-gray"} -->
<p class="has-mercury-gray-color has-mercury-white-background-color has-text-color has-background">You should be aware that almost every bonus you claim will meet these wagering requirements. The number of times you need to wager can vary greatly depending on which online casino you are playing at. For example, let's say you deposited $30 and accepted a $30 bonus with a 30x bonus wagering requirement; this means you will need to wager the $30 bonus 30 times. This means you need to accumulate at least $900 stakes before you can successfully request a withdrawal (30 x 30 = $900).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However, you should also pay attention to whether the wagering requirement applies to the bonus only or to both the bonus and the deposit. The most attractive kind of bonuses are those that only ask you to wager the bonus, because when you are asked to wager both the bonus and the deposit, you are actually being asked to fulfill a double requirement.</p>

<!-- /wp:quote -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Let's use the same example to show you how it works. You deposit $30 and get a $30 bonus, but this time the wagering is 30x bonus + deposit. This now means you have to wager $1,800 in stakes (60 x 30 = $1,800). It's not as good a deal as the previous one, but don't worry, it's still achievable. So don't be upset if the bonus you like meets these requirements.</p>
