There was one that offered $5 test money for gambling and i won with that without depositing. Does that count as a bonus? I can't recall which casino it was but i know it still existed when i last checked year or so ago.
I did need to bet more then that $5 to withdraw it, as part of some AML law or something. I wouldn't have put any money in because to me that sounds immediately like a scam, and more money i have to deposit, more of a scam it sounds.
I was waiting to read the concluding the part of the story. I knew there was going to be a catch at the end for withdrawal. This story is also similar to the one that stompix shared as well.
After he had won the free deposit bet, he was required to place x10 times that before he could withdrawal a very absurd requirement.
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.
That is what they call a rookie mistake.
What is the name of the casino, I would like to know how they were able to recover and get back in business.
