Free Casino Money, is it genuine?

I signed up with an online casino site called 'Casino Action', I dont even remember doing it tbh but apparently I did. Well they have sent me through a bonus of £1,250 to use within 30 days, the deal is I get to keep anything I win over £1,250 after an hour of playing.

If its genuine I can't see a downside, if I lose I havent lost anything and I could potentially win decent playing blackjack or video poker.

I'm reluctant to put my card details onto something shady however.

Has anyone done this or something like it before?

Hi darkpenence0,

I can't comment on this particular instance, but in my experience my opinion is this; if I am offered something that appears to be too good to be true, it most probably is. X(

You wouldn't have signed up to it. I have had a few offers like this myself. They are just trying to real you in. I never accepted any myself, mainly as I'd hear the scammy way they work.

I read something similar on a similar site I belong to & basically it was a scam. The money they give you is a bonus & any money you can win is a bonus & in the end the guy actually could only claim part of it ($100) & he had to play alot of casino games to clear it. I wish I could remember the exact details. It was complicated & easily confused everyone & took a few people to explain how it worked. It seemed simple but wasn't. I'll see if I can find it, but this sounds exactly the same con to me.

Once I was offered free money at Ipoker (I believe it was smth like 100$). I spew it up, of course :f_p: Later when I was grinding with my own money & wanted to cashout, I met some troubles. I wasn't allowed to take off those 100$ from my whole sum. That was my last day at Ipoker :f_cry:

Yeah,

Very often it will be -

- money you "keep" will be subject to extremely stringent playthrough requirements.

- money you "keep" will only be claimable after you deposit an equivalent sum in the form of a 100% deposit bonus

- money you keep will be limited to a certain amount, usually in the T+C somewhere. Probably $50 or $100. Just to ensure you don't hit the mega-jackpot on any of their slot games.

- money you "keep" will be non-withdrawable until you deposit some of your own money, which will then subject your account to further playthrough requirements.

I have taken 10 or more free casino bonuses, and only once in my lifehave I ever managed to cash anything out. Withdrawal took over 2 months and I made 70 bucks.

Wow, didn't know you had Indian relatives, you are so full of surprises! :f_eek:

My stock answer to these is; 'If it sounds or appears too good to be true, it probably is.' :pokerface:
