Playtrought - in short, playthrough refers to how many times a player must wager the bonus balance, deposit or both before a withdrawal or cashout is permitted. The majority of casino offers are subject to a playthrough.

How much time you will want to take visiting all the casinos to shop for the bonus right for you may vary depending upon how serious of a player you are, but it is important for all players to understand and adhere to the Terms & Conditions when accepting a bonus.

Whether you are playing at an advantage or not, it is important for players to understand the Terms & Conditions of online casino bonuses to be sure not to run afoul. A serious enough violation of Terms & Conditions can result in adverse action ranging from forfeiture of the bonus and any associated winnings up to and including not being permitted to play at a casino anymore.

The vernacular of these bonuses also varies dramatically from one casino to another. While some Bonus Terms are straightforward, it almost seems like one has to be a lawyer to understand others. 

There are a number of Terms & Conditions that, while the wording may vary slightly, will be generally the same at any online casino that you might visit.

It's also important to understand that there will be General Terms & Conditions that could apply to the Bonus but are not necessarily listed under the Bonus Terms. For that reason, if there are separate pages of a website for General Terms and Bonus Terms, then you will want to thoroughly digest both pages to see if any of the General T&C's apply to your bonus. It's always a good idea to be cognizant of the T&C's as a general rule, anyway.
