It’s not every day that a man lands on the moon, so to celebrate that first lunar landing 49 years ago, Virgin NJ Online Casino has a new promotion in store for you this weekend. Their One Small Step, One Big Bonus offer promises to reward you with bonus money for some extra play time.

Virgin Casino’s One Small Step, One Big Bonus

This promotion — running from Monday, July 16, to Thursday, July 19 — is one big bonus for mankind. This playback bonus offer can earn you up to $75 over the four days, if you stay active. In fact, the more days you play, the more you can earn.

Play two days and wager at least $50 each day and you will earn a 10 percent Playback Bonus — up to $20. If you play three days and wager the $50 minimum each day, you can earn 15 percent — up to $50. And, if you play all four days with that minimum wager, you can earn 20 percent — for the maximum playback bonus of $75.

What is a playback bonus?

A playback bonus is a return on your total net loss. In other words, you take your total wager for the day and subtract your total win. If you bet $150/day for a total of $600 and won $300 over the four-day period, your net loss would be $300. This would provide you with the maximum playback bonus of 20 percent, or $60.

Playback bonuses are credited to your account the day after the promotion ends. Your bonus money must be played online, is not redeemable for cash, and will expire after 30 days — Aug. 19, 2018. You need to wager once through your bonus money — on any games — before you can withdraw your winnings.

The US puts a man on the moon

Some of you might remember the day in history when the first man walked on the moon, others of you were not even born yet, but it bears repeating the story due to its significance.

Three astronauts were launched into space on July 16, 1969, on Apollo 11 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Four days later — on July 20 — two of those astronauts took the lunar module and landed it in the Sea of Tranquility on the moon’s surface. Shortly thereafter, Neil Armstrong alit from the capsule, traversed a ladder to solid ground and said what is now one of the most famous lines in history, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Four days later, all three astronauts returned safely to earth as national and international heroes. We salute Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins for their bravery and accomplishments.
