Topic: Free spins are also a demo in disguise? - page 4. (Read 596 times)

I don't think it's stealing if the casino already write that requirement in their terms, after all there's nothing called as free money in casino because they're not a charity. People need to realize if casino isn't a place to make money especially they think gambling is a source of income.

I never believe free spin or bonus money are ways to know a friendly casino, we need to search about the rollover, withdrawal fee, house edge, etc.

Don't expect much from free spins because you only get a limited number, sometimes under 50 free spins, so what can be generated from just under 50 spins? Indeed, getting big results does not depend entirely on the number of spins, but the more you spin, the greater the chance of getting a high multiplier.
When we see a gambler who can achieve a high multiplier, we don't know for sure how many hundreds or even thousands of spins he has to make to achieve that. I even got 100 free spins and the amount won was no more than $20 but I don't mind that.
Another thing that often prevents us from getting big results from free spins is that the slot players where we can use free spins are in slot with low volatility, so we will often only get cents.

Yes free slot games are real and it's a favorite tool for some casinos to reward their loyal customers. Like you I never won anything big in them. My payouts are usually less than 5 USD which is a bit sad. Not really sure if it's worth for the casino to manipulate these games so that gamblers only can win small amounts, or maybe I am just unlucky. I noticed in the past that usually the time before Christmas is when casinos run more promotions and offer more free spins. One casino even had an advent calendar that had every day in December free spins. Maybe there is a difference between free spins for new users and for regular customers, because the spins are usually linked to one particular game. What I used to do with all the free spin wins is to place them on black in roulette for one round to double my profits.

Free spins are real and give gamblers a chance to win big wins but they will not always guarantee getting big wins. You can get free spins by purchasing the Bonus feature in some slot games so you have the chance to win some money. And the free spins are not a demo because that's different.

But some casinos often provide free spins through promotions and usually, there is a wagering that you have to fulfill. This usually causes gamblers problems because they don't read the terms and conditions.

demo slot with free spins or free spin bonuses when you first register on a gambling site are very different.

btw, it looks like you have answered the question you are thinking about yourself. if the free spins are a promotion or something that can attract new customers and it is very normal that almost all gambling has promotions like this as if giving free spins but when you want to get the bonus for real you have to make a deposit after that you have to fulfill the conditions or you have to meet the specified conditions and each casino has different conditions, but you still not be able to achieve these conditions unless it is your day or your lucky day.

usually the conditions for getting a free spin bonus are a little more difficult to achieve because you have to have a certain total bet amount such as 30x the amount of your deposit and I think you know this. just IMO

I never got a good result with free spins, ever. You are lucky if you get $15 and your friends got the same result but I won't conclude that something fishy is happening or it's like the ceiling of prizes that will be given. It may just be a coincidence so just take the money and use it to play the normal modes.
But I do believe the chances of getting a good result with free spins is way lower than the normal betting mode so do not expect too much if you will receive more free spins in the future.

It's not a demo in disguise, it's just free spins but you won't get better results in it so maybe $10-20 of the prize should be considered good spins because I am sure there are more who used that feature, and got nothing in return.

Any promotion for an online casino is basically a trial offer. Most even require that you deposit real money and gamble a certain amount in order to be able to withdraw or use the trial offer. Just be careful. Trials can be good when the company offering them is reliable, but they are also traps for people in order to steal their funds.

If the first mode you meet when you just join a casino is the demo mode, it may take a while before you will start gambling with real money because you may become stuck on the demo mode for fun especially when you are a new gambler, and not start using real money on time which is not good for the casino. So free spins are a quick demo and introduction mode for new gamblers to a casino to welcome you to using your money to gamble.

So different since on free spin you have a chance to win some amount or even the jackpot prize. While demo account don't have any chance that you can take home some amount you win while playing. The only difference there is demo account is totally risk free while in free spins there are chances that you need to deposit so that you could reached up to the wager requirement and then withdraw all your winnings.

Programmed or not, it gives you some build-up and interest to try the site since having free $15 is not a joke. However you have to wager it and fulfill the requirements before you can withdraw anything from it. Just take is a welcome bonus for registering on their site.


Not in most cases that those free spins do need deposit.

What you have to do is to read the requirements if those free spins winning does need to have a deposit first. If you are lucky, you can withdraw those winnings without deposit although expect that wagering requirement is damn hard like x25 x35 or even x50 but as long as the maximum withdrawal is good, it's worth to give an effort.

I highly agree, we have to sweat blood meeting the wagering requirement in order to cash out these free spins. but I disagree that free spins are also demo in disguise.  These two are different as stated on the earlier replies.  Free spins is some kind of reward while a demo is just access to the game and without the need  for funds since it is just for fun play.  No matter how huge our winnings in demo, it can never be withdrawn since it is just a play money and no real money is involved.

Basically, free spins are not demo in disguise. Just be thankful though that there are sites that offer free spins being a newly registered account.

But since it's a "free reward" as a new user, don't expect anything from it although there are a few new users who managed to hit the allowed maximum withdrawal amount based on those free spins. I was able to hunt those sites offering free spins with no deposit several months ago and I was able to cash out winnings smoothly although I comply with KYC (mostly fiat online casinos).

My advice is that just enjoy it and don't put your expectations too high.

that is very right! don't expect that those free spins are totally free. they come with conditions that you need to comply. like deposit first before you can withdraw your winnings. or wager 10x or 100x before withdrawal. it depends from casino to casino.
don't accuse the site of scamming you if they start asking you to deposit first, because you need to read their terms as part of your responsibility. most of them are click baits, so don't fall for the traps.

Free spins are given just as a compensation to be part of the platform and examine how good are the things working. Whenever we were provided with free spins we'll get the terms and conditions associated with it. This means, if we need to withdraw the free spin amount it isn't possible. We need to achieve specific wager limits, if not the same can't be withdrawn. In some casino games we'll get free spins based on reaching specific levels of wager. There are people who had made good win out of these free spins, but the same can't be expected to happen everytime. This happens with people who are extremely lucky.

Never really won anything significant on free spins but it would be awesome to experience getting one. I usually just get the deposit bonus and not chase for free spins whenever there's a promotion going on as I tend to get distracted because I want to get the free spin, too. It's not everyday that you'll manage to flip a free spin to a win, but it happens, and sometimes the gambler wins really big from those.

I agree with that,  there os high possibility that a player that os given free spin will certainly win a few bulk that can help push his gaming time forward even though he may not have direct deposits,  this is why in my earlier comment,  I started how demo accounts differs in high proportion to free spin.

I have been given free spin before and in the cost of trying the use the buses,  I won a good amount of money that was x2 of the total amount awarded in the free spin,  after my total wager.

The demo is only good for testing the games to have a feel of what they look like even though there are great differences between demo account games and the real live games,  so do take your results and drill on the demo account as being an expert,  you may meet a different thing entirely.

I got free spins enough to recycle and withdraw a sizeable amount without needing to deposit even.  It was a requirement to continually play over the free bet amount till I had credited my account with the activity amount necessary to withdraw but some offers are good enough to take home and bank if you are lucky.   Usually its just a starter amount to increase your normal deposit but sometimes it can turn out to be a total win all by itself.  That did happen for me at least once, obviously it wont be often sadly.

It might, it might not be? We wouldn't really know unless the casino was public about the nitty-gritty of how it works. Publicly, it might look the same as any regular spin you'd do, privately they might've added a soft limit for spins done with the label "free". There are also instances where they're both the same but free spins aren't able to be withdrawn without depositing a certain amount or something similar in terms of limiting the user. Or there might just really be casinos that offer free spins. After all, it's not like it'd cost them anything most of the time, even a big win would probably be offset by the regular amount of users that are trying to redeem said free spin.

Additionally, I don't think your sample size is that reasonable in the first place. I mean it was one spin, you and your friend.

Free spins are actually giving some opportunities for lucky players to win some decent amount, but since we all know that most of the time the casinos get lucky more than us, then it’s seldom to see winning from free spins than losing it. However, I can tell that those free spins are real and not manipulated by the casino as we have seen some gamblers who are very aggressive when it comes to playing free spins.

I believe that the type and value of bonus that each casino offers are one of the many factors that make people create accounts at the casino and continue playing at the casino, now talking specifically about whether or not the free spin is similar to the demo account , I honestly think that they are not similar, free spin allows people to win money but it will depend on people's luck, even if the person has been very lucky in constantly receiving free spin and has not won anything considerable we can still consider that this person is unlucky and it's not because the free spin doesn't allow you to win something big

because the moment the probability of winning a lot with free spin becomes different but the person manages to win a lot using real money, then we can no longer consider this game to be demonstrably fair, it would be a rigged game and this is something serious that I believe the old and reputable casinos would not do it. I have already read in this forum in this same section members commenting that they played a lot and lost, but they won free spin and with the free spin they managed to win a lot with a high multiplier and with these gains they overcame the losses to the point of making them make a profit .

Even on YouTube I've seen several people commenting on how they were lucky enough to win a lot of money by hitting a big multiplier and with the free spin, which is why in my opinion there's nothing wrong with the free spin, but of course it depends on each person's luck. person to win a lot of money either with deposited money or with free spin
