Basically, a Bonus Hunt is a special strategy that can be used in online casinos. In the past, this meant any behavior that led to exploiting all of the providers' bonus offers for oneself in order to have a positive result in the end. Most recently, bonus hunts have become increasingly popular among Casino streamers. But here the approach was different.
In a Bonus Hunt, the Player first deposits any amount into the casino account. The next step is to start the game in the first slot and play until a bonus feature or Free spins are activated. Then one closes the Slot machine again and starts the next slot with the same procedure. Once the entire Deposit amount is gambled away in this way, you go back to the respective slots and redeem your freespins or bonus features. So, the strategy is to save all the promising wins until the end in the hope that the wins will eventually exceed the initial deposit amount. Of course, accumulating the free spins and additional features is not very exciting at first.
What is interesting is the fact that not all software providers allow accumulating bonus games. For example, this is not possible with Red Tiger, ELK Studios and Cayetano Games. On the other hand, with slots from Quickspin, Play'n GO, NetEnt or Microgaming, for example, it is not a problem to collect bonus games first. Every player should be aware that this strategy requires a certain minimum budget, as it can sometimes take time until several slots release the respective free spins.
Elsewhere, Bonus Hunt also refers to any "bonus hunter" who moves from Provider to provider to secure as many Bonuses and free spins as possible. However, most online casinos have reacted to the organized exploitation of their bonus offers accordingly with countermeasures, for example by adjusting their general terms and conditions (GTC). Since then, a "max-bet rule" has applied almost everywhere, which usually means a Maximum bet of five euros per game round. Also, almost all casino games with high payout ratios are now excluded from bonus turnover (e.g. Roulette, blackjack). Likewise, nowadays there are usually stricter turnover conditions and other requirements to be met. Around 2006, the awareness of bonus hunting among the managers of online casinos increased noticeably. For this reason, classic "bonus hunters" have it anything but easy. However, this does not mean that bonus offers in online casinos are not worthwhile.
