For bonus purposes it is best to separate
Live Dealer Casino games into two groups.
Live game sites like
Lucky Live and
Celtic casinos were built from 'the ground up' as live online dealer games. Then they may also have added computer based games to round out their games offerings. Since these sites reply upon live games for their major revenue you should expect to find the latest games and promotions here.
Other live casino game sites like
William Hill already had well established and complete gaming sites, then they added live games. The games may be the same, but often times the bonus terms and details for these live dealer game add-ons are buried deep.
As a new type of gaming option you may also find
special one-time get acquainted bonus offers like the one from
Paddy Power. While the maximum bonus is £€25, it also has the lowest wagering requirement at
32x and is available on live
Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. For your first real entry into live games it is a good offer!

Ladbrokes - Live Dealer Casino games "are excluded from the qualifying requirements due to

Risk Free and Low Risk Bets
These bets are also typically specifically excluded from bonus calculation. Depending upon the particular casino they may include simple bets on red, black, odd, even, dozens or column bets in Roulette.
Good Faith Bets - These are less restrictive rules than the bets mentioned above. These bets are when players
simultaneously bet on red & black, odd & even, every dozens or every column bet so that the only losing bet would be the ball landing on zero.
Either way, these limitations are important if you play these types of games simply for bonuses. There are many other good reasons to play live games - including the appeal of actually seeing a person instead of a computer spin the ball or deal out cards.
