In general, casinos usually offer deposit bonus for 100%, means double the deposit. For example, if I deposit 100 USD, i got 200 in my bankroll, if I lost 50 USD when I play, 50 USD is my real money or bonus?
In other word, if I lose money, does casino deduct the money from the bonus or from the deposit?
If they deduct money from the deposit, the bonus and the deposit is dangerous, maybe lose all in the rollover period. Won't play in this kind of casinos.
If they deduct money from the bonus, it's fair to player, if player lost bonus, they have remaining money(deposit), which they can withdraw.

Read the rules and definitions! (The small print)
Sometimes you have to bet 5X the amount of your Bonus Money. In your example of a $100 in Bonus Money added to YOUR $100 deposit, you would have to bet $500 before you can touch the Bonus Money.
Again
*******Read the rules and definitions************
After you've completed your obligation, the entire amount remaining in your account is withdrawable, whether it's larger or smaller than your original cash deposit (subject to withdrawal amount caps, more fine print). It's kind of like a RoR formula in reverse; the casino's betting you can't turn the money over that many times without losing it. Maybe 1 person in 1000 can get to the end with funds, let alone a profit. I got close once, 90% of the way there, but everything tanked on that last bit of gambling.
I have a Bovada account.
Its primarily for poker and sports betting.
Out of all the online games offered, I recommend only playing poker or betting on sports.
My advice if you want to gamble online.
Do not accept a bonus.
Once you accept a bonus, the casino is now in charge of your money. The casino now dictates how much you have to play and what games you have to play.
When I walk into a casino in real life, I am in charge of my bankroll. I may make a 5 dollar bet then leave. I may play a couple of hours. I decide how much I want to play. I can play say only 10 hands of BJ , am hot, say win 8 of the hands. I can at that time cash out with a profit and leave.
The Bonus game is a whole different thing. Due to extremely generous bonuses, you will give up a lot of control over your bank roll and how much is required to play vs what you want to play. Its ying yang.
My advice is to play online but not accept the bonus. That way you can play as much or as little as you want.
You hit a jackpot, you can withdrawl the cash right away.
I looked very closely at some of the casinos bonuses below and the fine print. They are all up front in the rules about how much play is required on what games before you can make a withdrawl. What bothers me is some of these online casinos have no automated procedure to make a deposit and refuse a bonus. Some sites say if you don't want the bonus, you must accept initially and then send them an email for manual intervention.

It depends on if you want an advantage or not. Rarely will you find an advantage online without a bonus you can find many advantages using bonuses.

Quote: WizardDepends if it is a cashable bonus, Sticky Bonus or Phantom Bonus.
What are the differences between cashable bonus, sticky bonus and phamtom bonus?
Are these bonus terms different from the rules regarding bonuses advertised below?
I find the rules regarding the below bonuses advertised at the bottom of this website to be extremely restrictive.
