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.
It is fair and it works good as an anti-abuse measure. Otherwise people with access to a lot of data could mass register and steal a fair amount of money using low values.
I think your question has been answered, but I'd like to add that no casino wants to lose. When you sign up, you'll be offered a bonus with no deposit requirements. However, you will never be able to withdraw that bonus. It's given by the casino to its customers just for fun. I am often offered this kind of bonus, but I always ignore it.
That is not true, otherwise it would be a fraudulent proposition. As many people have pointed out already, it can be withdrawn at legitimate casinos and people have managed to do so.
Although there are some of these casinos that decieve gamblers, they lie about giving out bonuses after depositing but after the deposit the gambler gets nothing. I haven't used a no deposit bonus, if it's something that actually works I would love to know those casinos that offer it
Such places should be avoided, the market is pretty crowded already and you should stick with legitimate places. If they are willing to deceive you on something minor such as a bonus, then they will try everything possible to deceive you on big things. That could be preventing you from making big wins, or in the case of sports betting, preventing you from getting your winnings.
