Although I understand what you mean, in these circumstances I find that their free bet promotion does not produce the desired outcome. One could even say quite the opposite. I would personally rather opt for some form of bitcointalk-exclusive promotion. It is much easier to prevent abuse if you limit the promotion to forum accounts only.
That's the problem always, free money will always attract scammers and players who want to abuse the system. A bitcointalk exclusive promotion (and only from member rank or higher) would indeed be more interesting as the amount of abusers would be a lot lower. I still like casinos that give free bets as it is handy to test out a new site without spending any money.
I don't think this is quite true. Why do you say all newbies are scammers? It seems very likely that you are defending Bitlucy site, as many people are doing with baseless arguments. Lucybit has already had several situations where they don't pay players and come up with excuses that the payout system wouldn't work. It's starting to get a little unbelievable. There are also more things that are not right about the site. Royse777 posted the announcement, but bitlucy also has an account on the forum. There are strange things going on about this site. If people win, you have to pay them and dont come up with excuses.
