If there is anyone here who has actually used a no deposit bonus, was it really legit? Or were there some hidden charges involved?
I have actually signed up in a local casino. They do not require a deposit to receive their bonus. The bonus is in the form of free spins. As soon as you sign up, you get to spin a wheel. Whatever amount you land on will be credited to your new account, and you must meet the wagering requirements before you can withdraw. This could be applicable to other platforms for example the 888 casino platform.
The reason why casinos have stopped none deposits bonuses is because of abuse from gambler's, I remember when one new casinos that came on board this forum made a grave mistake of giving new accounts without kyc free bonuses and to make things worst for them, they even made the bonuse witdrawable and that was it, the went bankruptcy sue to heavy abuse from bad actor's.
So casino prefer to give deposits bonuses and with heavy wagering requirements to avoid such abuse.
