Probably every slightly experienced player knows that one of the most important and at the same time most pleasant factors that can influence the final choice of a favorite casino is the entry bonus – specifically the welcome bonus for completed registration. The more attractive the starter program, the greater the chance of attracting a large number of players. Does this setting perhaps have a catch?
What to watch out for?
Right from the start, it is necessary to emphasize that although an initial bonus of €20 may seem like a big attraction, it is extremely important to make sure that it is a legitimate offer. Given that the official currency of the Czech Republic is still the Czech koruna, bonuses in euros practically do not exist here. It is often a reward offered by foreign casinos, which, however, usually do not have a license here.
1. Czech casinos can offer rewards only in the national currency
Although this may change in the near future and Czechs may soon receive rewards in euros, currently bonuses in foreign currencies can only be offered by foreign casinos – but unfortunately, people from the Czech Republic cannot play there. You will therefore not find any on the list of legal casinos approved by the Ministry of Finance with a Czech license that would offer you a €20 entry bonus.
2. Is €20 the most advantageous option possible?
The answer to this question is, of course, no. There are (legal) casinos all over the Czech Republic that offer a much more advantageous registration bonus than the mere €20 – which is equivalent to just under 500 CZK. Some casinos even offer you an entry reward (to a previous deposit) of up to a hundred times this amount. For example, Forbes Casino will give you up to 50,000 CZK plus another 50 free spins.
Where can I encounter bonuses in euros?
If you are “lucky” and have indeed come across casinos that tried to entice you with registration benefits in the form of euro bonuses, then it could have been one of the following options:
1. Foreign casino
In the better of these two examples, it could have been a foreign casino, most likely a Slovak one. Even in such a case, it might just be a lucky exception. Foreign casinos tend to enjoy offering bonuses for made deposits much more. Registration bonuses are not exactly rare, but they are certainly not as popular.
2. Fraudulent casino
Bonuses in foreign currencies – most often in euros – often also lure fraudulent casinos. You might be wondering exactly what could threaten you in these gaming houses. In illegal establishments, neither your finances nor your personal information, which you provide at registration, are safe. We therefore strongly urge you to try to avoid these businesses.
Are rewards in euros or Czech korunas better?
The answer to this question is not as clear and easy as it might seem at first. Generally, we can state that registration bonuses in Czech korunas are at least comparable, often even better, than those in euros. However, it is necessary to look at this matter from a greater distance, because without complete information, you might interpret the potential offered reward incorrectly. Some initial bonuses might be lower, but they are ultimately truly free. Many higher registration rewards come with a number of conditions for their application, so it is very important to emphasize these details.
How should I proceed to obtain a bonus?
We have already emphasized that when obtaining rewards in euros, you must be extremely careful, for your own good. If you are not careful, you might end up with theft of your data or money and the like. In the future, however, it will certainly be possible to deal with foreign currency even within legal Czech casinos. In theory, we can certainly discuss this futuristic scenario together:
1. Finding the right casino
The alpha and omega will always be finding an adequate and suitable casino facility. Although it may seem like a triviality, this first step should not be underestimated. Its role can be played by almost an absurd number of variables – e.g., legal licenses, the range of individual games, used software, bonuses and rewards, possible payment methods, guaranteed fairness, customer support, the reputation of the given facility, internet ratings, and many others.
2. Familiarizing yourself with the conditions
Some registration bonuses are basically without restrictions, which is of course the preferred state, but it is desirable to first actually verify this setting in advance. Each casino creates these conditions itself and not all rewards are really “free” as they appear. You cannot therefore take it for granted that what works in one facility will work in another. Definitely get to know the specific conditions of the given casino and the promised (presented) application of the bonus in advance to make sure that the set conditions really suit you and you are able to meet them without a problem. If not, seek another facility that will suit you.
3. Going through the required registration process
Usually, it is not a complicated procedure. In the vast majority of cases, registration for you means providing the required personal information – email address, phone number, personal login name, and chosen password. It is absolutely standard to also provide your date of birth and confirm your age, because registration and generally playing is not possible under the age of 18. Proper completion of registration may of course include other information, possibly directly verification/validation of your account – by sending a verification email to your contact address. However, individual procedures can vary from casino to casino.

Frequently asked questions
1️⃣ How can I withdraw my €20 bonus?
This depends on the specific payment methods offered by the facility. There are of course multiple options, most people prefer crediting the amount to a registered payment card / bank account. It is generally advisable to use a payment system that suits you best.
2️⃣ Do I really have to register to receive the bonus?
Yes. In most cases, it is a reward just for registering a new player. Without this step, therefore, it is not possible to claim the advantage. Of course, you can always ask about potential bonuses that are not related to registration. Generally, however, benefits are applied only to registered users.
3️⃣ Can I play for real money with this bonus?
Yes, of course. One of the advantages of registration bonuses is precisely the provision of a certain financial amount, or free spins “to start”. So it’s a kind of start-up capital with which you can start. Again, however, it is necessary to emphasize that this advantage may be subject to further conditions – e.g., the need for your own deposit, minimum bets, etc.
4️⃣ Can I also apply this bonus when I’m playing only on a phone?
This option pertains exclusively to online casinos, not to standard, brick-and-mortar establishments. No online casino should, however, limit its players based on the chosen gaming platform. Ultimately, the chosen device does not matter at all. So there should be no problem using a mobile phone.
5️⃣ Why don’t all casinos offer this bonus, but I have to look for which ones do?
Any offered bonus for registering a new player is essentially nothing other than a marketing move. Each casino conducts its own business campaign to gain new players according to its own conditions. Some gaming halls will offer certain rewards, others will offer different bonuses. Logically, it makes sense that the registration bonus of €20 is not used as the default lure.
