Topic: Have you ever withdrawn winnings from a casino using only your welcome bonus? (Read 348 times)

There are two things behind every win: one is skill, and the second is luck, which can bring you to the top in seconds and then drop you back to earth. The same thing happened to me when I first came to the gambling world. One of my friends recommended a gambling site (the name is a secret), and there I received my bonus after registering with them. At first, I made money from it; I increased my amount with that bonus and led it to the top, but then suddenly, I started my downfall. All the money I made was nothing.

I wondered and started believing that this was a trap that tempted me to unlock my pleasure compartment with them, and the same thing happened. I started depositing into it, and day by day, I lost it all. I can surely say that it was not my skill but my luck that gave me an opportunity to withdraw, but I didn't.

I didn't really get what you said right here but, lemme try to guess --  you're being curious if a person could possibly wager, win and withdraw with just the registration bonus? If yes, then I'll say it depends on the casino... I don't know for your country, but casinos over here don't offer any registration bonus type of shit, not unless you deposit... It's called "bonus on first deposit"

It's possible! This is solely dependent on how lucky one can be... I don't think there are any special techniques whatsoever. I haven't experienced that personally, but I'd say the welcome bonus isn't withdrawable - you can only wager with them!
Mind you, this varies in casinos and their TOS - y'all shouldn't come for me lol..

It is impossible for a casino to give a balance to a player for free in any case, of course to be able to get a free balance from the casino there are certain requirements and I think it is almost impossible for a player to win without depositing any money at the casino, of course they have previously deposited money in advance and maybe there is a refund or what is called cashback and with this cashback can produce a win.
I have a friend who always plays slot gambling, he always visits his casino site every Monday without depositing money but sees the bonuses or cashback given by the casino once a week, and if you are lucky you can get a win with this cashback, my friend has also experienced something like this. Maybe if you think about it, it was money that was previously lost.

The thing you would be needing on being able to make those withdrawals is on how lucky you would be on the time that you would be playing with your balance + bonuses on which we know or just like on everyone is saying on here that bonuses would really be having its corresponding rollover on which you would really be needing to comply before you could be able to withdraw on which we know that hitting up those threshold
is never been that easy and you would most likely bust up before you would be able to hit up that. This is why casinos do give out this kind of promotions just because they are really that on advantage with it on which it is really just that understandable on why they would really be doing it.As a gambler then it would really be that important that you should really be that at least wary on these things rather than on making yourself that too positive that you could be able to make money with it and not really that be able to experience hardship. You would once be able to realize things that its never been easy on the moment that you will be able to have a tough time on making withdrawals with bonuses. It would be taking up sometime before you could do it and just like been said that you will be needing up that luck before you could be able to reach it out.

Absolutely it is possible to withdraw your welcome bonus but it all comes back to the mentality you have from the beginning. If your plan is to go in and only play the absolute minimum required to withdraw your bonuses, combined with a basic level of willpower - it's easy money. You will need to distinguish between those sites which use welcome bonuses as a lure but the terms of the bonus make them into an impossible trap, from the genuine ones which have fairly low requirements in order to withdraw. I've found that fiat currency gambling sites are much more hospitable and likely to offer good bonuses like this, but you'll definitely only be able to sweep them once and they will likely restrict your account after withdrawing as you'll be classed as an unprofitable player to them

In most casinos I have played in, there is usually a condition attached to getting a welcome bonus whether it is a certain amount of required deposit or you are limited to a particular game. Even if you win games with the bonus, you cannot withdraw bonus money until you meet the conditions in the casino’s bonus terms. This is why reading the Terms and Conditions is important. I’d advice new players to avoid taking a bonus, just deposit what you like to play with, and enjoy your time. This way, you can withdraw at will without any hassle.

There is no special strategy or technique that changes the house edge. You win based on luck. It was not a welcome bonus but I have been lucky to win from free spins I got from a casino I promoted on bitcointalk.

I did that but it was years ago when there were no requirements about bonuses, apart from how many times you have to wager.

 So, between 2015 and 2017 casinos were often giving people bonuses for free and all you had to do was either make an account as a new player, or wager a number of times. Once I took part in a giveaway where a new casino was paying people $20 just to register there and make 20 bets, while the minimum was $1.  

Nowadays bonuses and freebies are rare and if you get them, you have to wager it so many times that it's almost impossible to get the bonus out without depositing anything.

For welcome bonus as far i remember i was never successfully to earn money from this method because everytime i was attempt to did that i always got busted and my experience probably a bit different because several years ago i was invited by the particular online casinos that they were offering non deposit bonus which mean all i have to do is sign up to their casino and the bonus automatically credited to my account

To withdraw my balance they have term 30x wagering requirements and at that time i was starting to playing slots and apparently i was very lucky because within hour i can reach those wagering requirements with final balance $50 so i decide to withdraw this money immediatelly but apparently this is a once in a lifetime experience because since that i never able can do that again

Without making a deposit? Of course, it is impossible because every online casino has their own rules.
A person who gets a sign-up bonus usually has to make a deposit first to use it.

It is about the strict Wagering Requirement that must be met by the player before making a withdrawal of winnings which means there must be a certain amount of money wagered before dancing the funds from the casino.

Don't just rely on the welcome bonus, it won't make the game last long, at least use your own money and start playing.

I have actually, I was invited to a European city with work colleagues. They took us out for food, drinks & we hit a casino. I had to sign up to a member scheme in order to play.

I think it was a free €20 or something so I went on a slot machine and ended up winning €300 which was cool. I withdrew it and was happy with my nights work

no, not even once, casino marketers don’t get their salaries in vain. In 99% of members, you need to make a starting deposit to activate various bonuses because the casino or bookmaker wants you to play and become a regular customer; they don’t take the bonus and leave with it. Once the bookmaker for for beginners he offered a no-lose bet, which in my opinion is a very good bonus for a beginner who wants to try his hand at betting.

Usually I often receive such bonuses on local casino sites when I make a deposit of a certain amount in the previous week and end up losing where usually the amount of bonus that I can take in the following week is quite dependent on the amount of my loss and the amount of money turnover when I run the game session.
And when it's time to take the bonus, I prefer to use it to execute several games without making a deposit (because it's a bonus from the game I played the previous week).

To be honest, I have won several times without making a deposit, but usually the amount is not too big like less than $ 50 because usually the amount of bonus I get is also not too big, but of course it is a decent amount to use to help me meet some of the living needs that I need, which is added to it is a net win, because I get it without making any deposit, but of course I also understand that it happened because I was lucky.

I could not win bets with bonus offers. Because I felt bored from those offers. In order to be eligible for the offer I have to eligible  certain conditions which are not simple. I was more attracted to bonuses that offered direct bets and withdrawals if won. But once I got the bonus money I was able to multiply that amount but was unable to withdraw the money because of loss. But there are many who are able to make good use of any bonus offers. If there is a bonus offer to bet I tend to take higher risk on those bets which greatly reduces my chances of winning.

There was this time I registered on a new casino and received a welcome bonus. I didn't know how to use it so I didn't focus on it. I actually wanted to test the casino because it is a new one so I deposited money to bet on slot game and some football matches. I won good amount from the slot game and when I wanted to withdraw, I was notified that I can't withdraw the bonus and the winnings , that I have to use the bonus or risk forfeiting it if I wanted to go ahead to withdraw my regular winnings which I did.

For me, I think casino registration bonus funds are irredeemable and I am not so sure that winnings with such bonus is something that can be redeemed in whole, down to the last cent.
Gambling is a game of luck or chance and it might be possible to cash out gambling winnings staked with bonuses but am sure the bonuses isn't as big that can be classified as millions.

Some casinos/betting company doesn't act like that.
Some casinos collects from the gambler main balance before collecting from the welcome bonus. It is only on a free bet that the gambler can choose to use between free bets or from his main balance.
Actually, I haven't seen a casino that allows the gambler to make use of the welcome bonus before the main balance, because if they do so, the gambler might win big and withdraw without making any deposits. Nowadays casinos do advertise their company and they always show how much welcome bonus the gambler will receive according to how much the gambler deposits so that more gamblers can register. But I haven't withdrawn any money through welcome bonus because to me it's not possible at all.

The simple answer is no and I believe most of the members will answer no because it's literally not possible to take money from a casino without depositing anything. The casinos want players to deposit money to their platform so players might try their games and if a player doesn't deposit money but takes money then it won't be a beneficial move for a casino.

I've personally joined some casinos in past where I earned some amount in free spins and similar bonuses but unfortunately I was unable to withdraw anything because whenever I wanted to withdraw the money, the casinos asked to deposit funds first.

When you play gambling with your welcome bonus, you must playing gambling until you reach the wagering requirement. That will be different wagering requirement from each casino so you must find out before you regret that requirement is too difficult to achieve. That will not easy since you may use more and more money to fills that wagering requirement.

I am forgot about withdraw winnings from welcome bonus but I guess I don't have that experienced. If I have that experienced, I don't think I can keep my winning because that can makes me to continue gambling until the requirement fills. Maybe the only chance before we can fill wagering requirement is by keeping that money in our account.

But we should check the other rules because some casinos have a deadline when you should finish the wagering requirement. If you think that the welcome bonus have a high wagering requirement, you don't have to take that welcome bonus. We can stay away from the risks and  we can playing gambling with calm and enjoy the games.

Yes, this happened to me a few times in +10 years of online gambling. When you do the math the chances for us to win something from "free money/spins" are pretty low, like in the lottery I would say... if we are lucky we can win something once in a hundred or thousand tries, but for some people this will be just a dream that will never happen in reality.

I have a few $100 (more or less) from free stuff, but my biggest win was 7-8 years ago. I can't remember the casino name, it was "Satoshi... something", they had only slots, and I got $5 when I registered. I won 1.1 BTC from those $5... as always when it comes to this sort of bonus I go for fewer spins with higher stakes, like 5 spins $1 worth, and I got lucky and I won something, I continued playing for to finish wagering requirements and I had the luck to win even more... in that time that was +$500, or even a bit more. I think I already wrote this here on the forum, it's something I will never forget, and probably something that will never happen to me again... or maybe it will.

Have not been able to withdraw winnings from any casinos especially using the welcome bonus and you know why because I think it's difficult to do so and it's highly depended on great chances of lucks.
And it's either you double your wager which is usually a slim chances to winning and loosing and I use to think the casino have programed this in this manner to have more gains to their accounts.

Mostly if I want to use such casino sites, I prefer not using their welcome bonus giving to me when I must have deposited  I just play my choice of game, and sometimes you can actually win with your deposited amounts rather than putting high hopes on the welcome bonus, and that's what most people do the prefer utilizing the chances of the bonus and if they win with it it's a plus to them.

You can not withdraw a gambling bonus. the welcome bonus is programmed in a way that you must use it to bet with your bankroll. Like if you want to stake a game of $100, $80 will be deducted from your main balance while $20 will be deducted from your bonus. This happen gradually and continuously till you exhaust it. All withdrawal comes from the won amount. So bonus can not be withdrawn except it is staked, after win then it becomes withdrawable.

There's always a beginners luck that comes with a welcome bonus, sometimes I feel like as a beginner they let you win on purpose to get you addicted, it's just a funny thought though. My first win in a casino game was a free spin I got on 1x bet I didn't win much but I was happy about it, then I started trying with real funds, it was going quite well at the beginning but later on it wasn't what I thought it was I started losing both my capital and profits, then I had to quit after a while so I wouldn't get addicted to it

Actually, I don't remember claiming any signup/deposit bonuses in recent days and it's quite hard to get to a place without depositing and winning real money just from the signup bonuses. It's possible if you have won any other promo but it's almost impossible without it so I would say be cautious with those sites since they can't really make money without you depositing first.

I know the note says No need to mention the name of your casino—this post isn’t for promotional purposes. Thanks!

But im gonna says it haha because i dont think there's bonus right now but this is true story of mine.
Back then there is new site here in bitcointal called wagabet they gave us 10K satoshi to get started and from them i manage to get 300 usd and manage to withdtaw it

I only use mines since there is not a lot game to play and i only chase the daily and we'll bonus. But the 300 usd that i got from the site lose in futures trade

Most casinos will ask for wagering and you must deposit. I would say that I have never being that to win with welcome bonus in the casinos that I register with. I know some people were able to win their first game and was able to withdraw but it is only few. I think the welcome bonus is to tempt the gambler so that he can deposit.

Welcome bonus usually requires a deposit in top of the wagering requirements to withdraw the bonus. I manage to withdraw welcome bonus before of new casino because it only has low wagering requirements and no deposit due to its promotion here in forum but right now there’s no casino offer a welcome bonus like this.

It’s very for someone to complete a wagering requirements of welcome bonus since casino usually set a x30 or above wagering requirements in able to claim bonus. Additionally, they only count slot games bet as 100% and the rest of the games counted as 5% or lower that makes it extra hard to fulfill.

Welcome bonus right now is not worth it already to pursue and it’s much better to play regularly to have less pressure when gambling.

Sadly, no.

It's really hard to win using only welcome bonus because the wagering requirement 40x times, I've tried probably like 10x times in different casinos, this make me to stay away from welcome bonus.

I'd choose other promotions like odds boost, risk free bet, highest multipliers, etc.

I made a new account at a casino site and from there I was given a bonus of $20 with the condition that I bet and then withdraw the profit that came. But that day I had good luck and I bet 0.5$ on dice and I bet like 20 dice and most of the bets were written in my fortune and I made profit of 17$ and was able to withdraw. However, as the casino site was not very popular, they could not continue their activities for a long time, so their activities were completely stopped in the middle.

Bonuses would really be that categorized and it would really be that up to you whether  you would be activating it or not, it will really be just that depending into your choice when it comes into this aspect.
Just like on what most people been saying on here that we are really that mindful whether we would really be dealing up with those bonuses or not. If you dont have that experience on what it is, then its not really that bad to test it out and its impossible that you cant be able to know on what are those terms and later on find out that its not something interesting if you do ask me, not unless if you are really that planning to have that longer duration times of playing gambling because of bigger bankroll then it would be up into your choice but if you do ask me then its not really something interesting on my part.

I didn't get it at the crypto casino. I got my welcome bonus at a local slot site with fiat bets. The bonus I received from the site was not money credited to my account, but it was a free spin bonus for new members. I don't remember the amount, it's been a long time and I don't play there anymore.

New fiat slot sites are popping up a lot. Not sure now if they still give free spin bonuses for new members, but I think many still give initial deposit bonuses.

If I'm not mistaken BC. Game also gives a chance for a lucky prize to spin the wheel when opening the site. I'm not sure if it's only offered to new members or routinely every active member gets it within a certain period. But I got it once and the bonus can only be played for certain games.

I think most of the gambling site gives you those bonuses with the option of using the bonus to play one to two times with a particular amount of odds, that is rolling over your winning for two times with the same amount of odd, and if your successful with your wings then they now allow you to make withdrawals, else it is almost impossible for you to withdraw only the bonus without using it to stake or using to stake only once, However the percentage of persons that have been able to use the bonuses to stake one to two times and succeed are not much and that is why it looks as if People don't succeed in withdrawing their bonuses.

It is really fun to dig through the various platforms and review your experience with welcome bonuses. Indeed, so many casinos have minimum bets for coverage to be able to cash out winnings earned by bonuses. Anyway, it is great when one can manage to extract a win using only the sign-up bonus; this is often about luck and planning.

Speaking from my experience, I have not played or pulled out a winning myself, but people do manage to do it by reading the terms and conditions of bonuses very carefully. Employing various strategies to cope with different gambling needs that are handled effectively sometimes brings up the strategy of promotions or bonus offers. For example, concentrating your play on low house edge games or playing gambling strategies matching bonus points might boost your chances of meeting requirements.

Also, if you win a bonus and try to withdraw it, make sure that you understand all the details concerning play restrictions and deadlines. The other way of major routes to get there fast is wisely managing your portfolio and not taking gambles that could potentially bankrupt you. You may want to share your experiences and tips, which could definitely help others who are finding their way in this online gambling world.


It is like you have been given an investment bonus, not a welcome bonus. Welcome bonuses are those that are given to online casino players upon registration or when making their first deposit. They are meant to motivate people to join the particular gaming platform and could be very different from one casino to another.

Most welcome rewards come with free spins, match bonuses on your first deposit, or sometimes cashless bonus. The reason you may not have seen a welcome bonus is probably because you have only played on sites that basically offer deposit bonuses or promotions for existing players.

Most of the reputed online casino sites lure new customers with a bonus offer. Some of the most renowned sites that frequently offer this bonus are Bet365, DraftKings, and 888 Casino, although at variable specific details. When you log in to any casino site to check out either their promotion page or terms and conditions, it's a good idea to know what bonuses you're after.

If claiming a welcome bonus, find the forums they advertise in, and read the terms, including understanding the requirements.

Since I have been gambling and betting, I have not been given welcome bonus before. Only what I have been given before is deposit bonus and of which are first time deposit bonus. I do not think there is anything like welcome bonus. Or have you claimed it before?  Which site is that?

When it comes to online casino bonuses, whether it's a welcome bonus, daily, monthly and so on, my head always hurts and my teeth start to grind.

I've been gambling for years and these bonuses always annoy me, let alone wanting to withdraw the bonus, I never win, that's the bad thing about gambling bonuses, What is certain is that the withdrawal requirement is that you have to play first, that's what's going to be a disaster, whether the bonus is given to attract users or is it just an act.

What is clear is that this bonus is a nightmare for me, I would be luckier playing for real than taking the bonus.

It appears almost impossible for me to win and make a withdrawal from the casino bonus only. I have tried several casinos where I'm being given a welcome bonus, but I always end up losing them out before I could even meet the wager requirement. 
 
Off recent, there was a three by Charles-Tim, if I could remember correctly, where he was able to turn his free bonus into something worth withdrawing, and it was good to know that there are still people who are able to bite the casino and make some decent money out of their bonus.

Actually im not really that a fan on activating or getting those bonuses, no matter how good it is or how big it would be because you would really be that still needing up to comply
with those terms or wager conditions on which we know that this is something that will really be not that appealing if you are really that wanting or minding about withdrawals.
You would be getting yourself get caught or trap with those terms and conditions on which this would really be that resulting on losing that capital first before you do able to reach those threshold.  

Basing up on the question, i havent been able to make withdrawal out of those bonuses and im not really that on it in the first place. I have some sad experiences about
bonuses on which on the time that you are still newbie then you would be glad your bankroll had become big but on the moment that you have seen on the current requirement
on the moment that you would tend to make withdrawal then you will surely be getting disappointed. Hahaha

I have never been able to make a withdrawal without making a deposit. Welcome bonuses and first deposit bonuses have requirements to be able to make a withdrawal. Some also limit it to certain games, more probably slots. I usually spend my bonus on slots and my deposit on sports betting.

The welcome bonus I got only gave me a playing experience, some small wins and more losses. Being able to play longer with some small wins is entertaining enough for me. Using a deposit also doesn't change the game, not much different.
But it seems like someone has shared their experience here who won some bets with a welcome bonus or other bonuses. I forget where.

I remember I managed to do that once and it certainly felt great.
It is indeed about luck and it is possible to happen, because if this were impossible then no casino would use the welcome bonus as one of their ways to attract many new players, because no players would be interested, because even though they are new players at the casino, most of them are not new gamblers so on average they already have experience at other casinos and move to other casinos to try their luck through the welcome bonus.
But don't deliberately chase the welcome bonus because getting it is harder than you think and there is no technique to get results from the welcome bonus because once again luck is the key.

Can't remember lol. Sometimes as others have said, welcome bonuses are locked in between deposits so I can't really remember "when" I used a welcome bonus to play with. I have never won in any type of starting bet in my life though. Like ones that make you go "Damn I'm pretty luck with this casino" type of thing. It's always a loss lol.

And I don't think in the first place I received a bonus just by registering at the casino. Again, as I've said before, they're usually locked behind some kind of mechanism that forces you to deposit money first or something similar. 

Yes that is true tho, some of the unlocking mechanisms are so hard in way their requirements aren't that favourable to gamblers. If I could remembered correctly there was a topic created to ask which is more better, like asking unlocking gradually as we deposit or to deposit ones off to unlock bonus and many people chooses the first option and this is to say that most gambling requirements requires at maximum 10x and above to use their bonuses.

I will not argue with you because you are correct but you are not also completely correct. You are correct because it is true that all bonuses that gambling sites have is because they know that it can bring more traffic. And the more people visit the gambling sites, the more that the gambling site will make money. What you said is how gamblers should think but there are few gamblers that still later use deposit bonus to make money.

That is not all. Someone can use deposit bonus to make money but that does not mean that the person will not later be losing money. Only just little percentage of people make money from gambling and that does not means they might not later lose.

We won't because the casino never let us win from their own money. Instead, they just wanted us to use that money to explore their site and then start to spend our personal money. Some casinos implement a minimum amount allowed for withdrawal, and I don't think the welcome bonus is big enough for us to win at once and can reach the minimum amount. 

This bonus is not meant for such a thing but for just a sort of gaining attraction. The casino does this for some benefits in returns, and it was effective as per see. 
As a gambler, I don't think much about the bonus amount but about my personal money spent because this will give us a chance to win big.
 

I managed to win some prize in the past, but I'm not sure if that happens because the website is shady or my luck. Managed to withdraw some good amount of money before everything went south because I failed to manage the risk properly, then the website closed down shortly after that. I think it's not a huge surprise especially if you can bet as low as possible on the platform, e.g. 1 cents or so while you get $10 at the beginning (assuming the rules don't require deposit etc). At the end of the day, I would ignore most stories since it's not like you can easily replicate their action.

I don't use welcome bonuses very often especially at new casinos, because they have a minimum deposit requirement to unlock the welcome bonus and usually the wagering requirement is a requirement to unlock the whole bonus, it's not much different from what you spend, the higher the bonus you get the more the wagering requirement is almost the same.

I am same with you, as I have never won any bet with my welcome bonus. Maybe I am unlucky or it is a sign that I need to bet with my own funds.

I have never thought of this because I believe when gambling luck is the major thing that brings our wins to us. However, I was able to win few months ago with a bonus that I got from the casino but it wasn't a welcome bonus though.

I have received bonus from a local betting site and that bonus was on deposited amount then it was used as a multiplier to bet, let say if my initial win was meant to be 100k NGN and the site would multiply my wager and include my bonus, then it should be around 1m NGN yet I won't win. When I lost everything disappear, I think this bonus of a thing depends on the gambling site with their requirements.

The welcome bonuses that I have received before on gambling sites are deposit bonus. I have not been able to use it to gamble before on casino games and be able to withdraw it but I have been able to use it before to bet on sport betting site and won. Not all the time because there are some that I also lost while using the bonus for betting on sport betting sites.  But the overall bonuses that I won on casinos which I used to gamble and won but which are not deposit bonus are more than those that I won on betting sites maybe because I had bonuses on casinos than sport betting is the reason.

Personally, I couldn’t win anything with my welcome bonus, but it was a good chance to explore the platform. I know, it’s mostly about luck, but I feel impressed when I heard someone managed to withdraw winnings using just the registration bonus. Is that even possible? Most casinos have minimum wagering requirements (which I think is fair), so keeping your balance and cashing out can be quite challenging.

Well! how about you? Have you ever managed to withdraw winnings without making a deposit? Is yes! Did you use any special technique besides luck? (Feel free to share the amount you won if you’re comfortable.) Your experience could be helpful to others.

P.S.: No need to mention the name of your casino—this post isn’t for promotional purposes. Thanks!
