I’m one of those guys that like to have options, so I keep an eye out for my next online casino. And what do I look for? Bonuses.

Here’s a little-known secret (or well-known, depend on the circles that you move in): most online casinos are pretty much the same.

Well, let me qualify that…most online casinos are pretty lame. There’s a lot of shaky businesses that rarely treat the players right and can’t handle a big jackpot or two. One day they’re there, the next — poof!

But among the real solid and trustworthy online casinos (and I mean the guys who’ve been here ever since there was a thing called the Internet, and a few others who have demonstrated total class right out of the gate over the last few years), there just isn’t all that much difference.

That’s why when I look for a new online gambling site, I look for two things: good blackjack, and good bonus.

Best Blackjack Bonuses:

1. $20,000 from Go Casino – I honestly don’t know how these guys can do it. I mean, $20,000 for every new player? Okay, so they’re so popular worldwide that they take in plenty of money. And the bonus is spread out over your first several deposits. But still…$20,000? Sign me up! Oops, I forgot, I already did…
2. $5,000 from Online Vegas – anything looks a little small next to the Go bonus, but $5000 is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, it’s still one of the biggest bonuses online! Plus, Online Vegas is simply a fun and safe place to play.
3. $4,000 from Lucky Red – my casino of choice for many reasons, not least of which is the hefty $4,000 sign-up bonus that they gave me. Trust me, just because it came in third on this monster list doesn’t mean a thing — compared to the average casino bonus, we’re talking about ten times bigger!
