Bingo sites offering new players free money

1st December 2009 10:43 AM

It seems that many bingo sites offering new players free money are placing withdrawal restrictions on winnings from the free money that players simply are not happy with. It has been evident for some time that bingo sites are tending to drop free deposit bonuses in favour of higher deposit bonuses for new players, but the reason for this could only be speculated.

Having spent some time looking around the various bingo forums and review forums it seems that the reason behind these bingo sites decisions to drop this free money, could be down to player opinions.

Although the names of the sites were not mentioned in the various sources that we have found, it appears that the wagering requirements are ridiculously high, with some bingo sites not allowing any withdrawals from this money at all.

The general feedback from players of online sites seems to be that the free bingo money is pointless if you cannot withdraw anything you win from it. This is a valid point and one where we could be right in assuming that these bingo sites are slowly addressing the issue by offering higher deposit bonuses instead.

One player complained of receiving £10 free bonus to try out the site and won more than £300 from this bingo sites free money but was able to withdraw less than half of the winnings and later found that withdrawals from the bonus were not allowed.

First impressions always last, and when bingo sites use this kind of policy, many players will not return there to play bingo and may use bingo sites that offer free bingo because they are concerned about future bonuses on money they may spend at any given bingo sites.

With some bingo sites still offering free money to new players, it is important to know that not all bingo sites adopt this policy, but as some do, it is always a good idea to check out the terms of  these bingo sites  before you make the commitment.
