Welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo

16th January 2009 12:21 PM

We are constantly checking the latest news from all of the online bingo sites that we list here and the latest is about the welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo. Until recently all new players to this online bingo site were offered a £10 free, no deposit required, welcome bonus so that they could try the site before choosing to make a deposit; this is no longer that case at bet365 Bingo.

Although new players to the site do get a 200% cash match on their first deposit as a welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo many may choose another site that does offer free money to new players.

At Bingo Sites we like to provide you with tips and hints for enjoying your online bingo experience and for us the loss of the free welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo is a good thing despite what many players believe. If you read the terms and conditions at many online bingo sites, something you should always do, then you will probably have noticed that a lot stipulate that you must have made a deposit in order to make a withdrawal. Another of the rules from many, if not all, online bingo sites is that there should only be one account per household. So let’s look at why we think the loss of the welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo is not a great one using the two examples above.

Deposit before withdrawal

If an online bingo site offers a free, no deposit required, welcome bonus and you choose to use this money and are lucky enough to win big the likelihood is that you will be unable to withdraw the money. There are a couple of online bingo sites that will allow you to make a deposit after winning big on the free money and then withdraw but this is very rare.

Making a deposit at any online bingo site is always the best option in our opinion simply because you then know, providing you have met the wagering requirements laid out in the terms and conditions of the site, that you will be able to withdraw any winnings.

Multiple bingo accounts

Any online bingo site that offers free bingo money like the old welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo will come in for its fair share of bonus hunters. Bonus hunters are players who will set up multiple accounts for any given bingo site in order to take unfair advantage of the free money on offer. Most online bingo players will only open one account, play their free bingo money and then either deposit or not come back to the site. BUT what can happen is that they will eventually choose to make a deposit at the site and worse case scenario for these bonus hunters is that they win big and then are found to hold multiple accounts. This is in breach of most sites terms and conditions and can in fact lead to the site refusing to pay out.

So although the welcome bonus at bet365 Bingo is no longer a no deposit required £10 free bonus you do still get 200% on your first deposit. This means that you can enjoy your game of bingo and be secure in the knowledge that if you are lucky enough to win a big cash prize at bet365 Bingo that you have adhered to all the bonus terms and conditions and will be able to withdraw the money.
