What's the difference between a cash-bonus and a freeplay-bonus?

I see that most of the bonuses out there are freeplay-bonuses. What does that mean exactly? Is it the same as "freebets" at the european bettingmarket?

A freebet is a free bet you can use and if you win you will only eep the winnings from the bet, not the stake. Is a freeplay the same thing?

yes

In a cash bonus you get real money so if you lay the bonus and win then you keep what you laid plus the winnings. On a freeplay you only keep the wins.

There are also other things to watch, depending on where you're taking the bonus. Free plays can be even less valuable, as the book may restrict the markets (eg. no money lines on certain sports), the max and min odds, and grade pushes as losses (rather than refunding the free play for you to bet again). Some also now calculate the rollover based on the deposit plus winnings from the free play (rather than the free play amount awarded), which can be quite hefty. None of that applies with a cash bonus.
