If you\u2019re just starting your <\/span>Casino Matched Betting<\/span><\/a> journey, without ever having encountered online casinos before, you might find yourself quite overwhelmed by the frenetic graphics, the profusion of games, and the surfeit of new terminology you have to get to grips with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Golden chips are at least a relatively straightforward concept. <\/span>They\u2019re a type of bonus offered by certain bookies and casinos<\/b> (notably Betfred and Bet365), which can be used on live casino and table games.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been awarded golden chips and don\u2019t know what to do with them, or you\u2019re nervous about tackling an offer that promises you golden chips as your reward, you\u2019re in the right place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Read on to find out how to get golden chips, how to use them, and what the most profitable strategies are once you\u2019ve got them.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Casino Golden Chips?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Casino golden chips are free rewards offered by some bookies or casinos, which can be used on table and live casino games.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re essentially the equivalent of free spins for slots games, or of free bets for sports betting.<\/span><\/p>\n

A golden chip can be used on live casino with <\/span>zero risk.<\/b> If you lose – no biggie, it was free in the first place. And if you win – hooray! You get to keep the cash for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing to bear in mind with golden chips is that, much like with free bets, <\/span>if you win you don\u2019t get the value of the chip itself as part of your winnings<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re playing roulette and place \u00a31 of real money on red, you\u2019ll receive \u00a32 back if you win – your original \u00a31 stake plus \u00a31 in winnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you use a \u00a31 golden chip, however, you\u2019ll only receive the \u00a31 in winnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should be aware that not all bookies and casinos offer golden chips. Many will simply offer you a certain value of live casino bonus (which can be quite useful, as it\u2019s more flexible).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll usually use golden chips or bonus funds in roughly the same way, though, and both are well worth having.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Is A Golden Chip Worth?<\/b><\/h2>\n

That entirely depends on the offer! <\/span>Golden chips don\u2019t have a standard value<\/b>; instead, their value is confirmed as part of the offer you complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s very common for golden chips to be worth \u00a31, though you may well see higher value golden chips with some bookies or casinos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The downside of higher value golden chips is that you won\u2019t normally be able to split them. If you\u2019ve got a \u00a35 golden chip, for example, you\u2019ll be able only to make one bet of \u00a35, rather than 5 bets of \u00a31, which would reduce your variance.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the bonus is being offered simply as bonus funds, on the other hand, you can usually make your stakes as high or low as you like (so long as you don\u2019t run out of bonus altogether!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Use A Golden Chip?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019ve been credited with golden chips, or a similar live casino bonus, your bonus will be available to use in any eligible game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Golden chips will normally appear alongside regular chips in a live casino game, usually in gold, with their value shown on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To use a golden chip, click on the symbol and then on whatever you want to bet on<\/b>, whether that\u2019s a number in roulette or a hand in blackjack.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have bonus funds rather than golden chips, it\u2019s equally simple – just click the value of the chip you\u2019d like to place, and then on the bet you want to make.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Get Golden Chips?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are a few different ways you can receive casino golden chips, or other live casino bonuses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some offers will be available only to new customers (known as <\/span>sign up offers<\/b>), while others will be available to everyone (<\/span>reload offers<\/b>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whichever kind of offer you complete, there\u2019ll usually be some sort of qualification requirement. Most commonly, you can earn golden chips in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n
