Want absurd? There is more! They give you $50 in a free bet, you win $20 or $30 and surprise, the first time withdrawal limit is $100.
So, those limits are more along the line than out of the ordinary.
You won't be making money with no deposit bonuses, what's even worse is that they might now give you a deposit bonus after that.
But on the contrary, I literally don't see the second option as given above as been absurd, because it is indeed a fair requirement for a free money been given on a casino. Because given users $50 free bet, to double or triple it with a minimum withdrawal limit of $100 is quite fair. As what can be considered as been absurd is when a casino gives you such requirements and then still specify on the very type of game to gamble on to meet requirements, such as wagering on only slot games, or
Blackjack or Poker, while excluding Sports betting. But in a scenario where none is specified, then asking gamblers for 2x to 5x would have been very considerable.
