Received this through the post today from a well known Casino Rewards casino...
Second paragraph. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO RISK TO YOUR OWN FUNDS - JUST FREE MONEY TO SPEND IN THE CASINO AS YOU WISH!"
Sounded a little too good to be true, so I went on their live chat to delve further into this great promotion

Tom: Welcome to the Casino Rewards support chat. How are you doing today?

Tom: • 4th deposit – 50% match bonus – Up to $200
Tom: • 5th deposit – 100% match bonus – Up to $150
nicola: ok so its not free?
Tom: Well, its a bonus you get for free on top of your first five deposits.
nicola: lol but it still costs money so its not free as your letter says
Tom: Yes, but as you will have you money plus the bonus in your Casino account to play with, it was for free.
nicola: it says on the letter "THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO RISK TO YOUR OWN FUNDS - JUST FREE MONEY
nicola: how so?
Tom: Yes, you dont lose your money. You get the bonus on top of your money.
Tom: But, they are deposit bonuses. That is correct.
nicola: so if I lose my money you give it back?
Tom: Not if you play with it. But when you buy something in a shop, you change your money with the good.
Tom: Here you dont change your money, with a good (bonus)
Tom: You get it on top of your money.
Tom: If you claim/redeem bonus money you first have to meet the wagering requirements before making a withdrawal.
Tom: Simply put you will need to convert all of your bonus into cash, after you have done so, you will be able to withdraw whatever you have left in your casino (cash) account.
Tom: To convert your bonus into cash, you need to wager/make bets for a total of 30 times the amount of your bonus.
Tom: (Please note that depending on which games you play this amount will change and is determined based on each game. Also note that there are conditions regarding the maximum amount of each bet. For further information please refer to the Terms and Conditions, or simply ask me.)
Tom: This means, that if you, for example, have received a 10 credit bonus, you have to play until you have made bets for 300 credits in total.
nicola: so it is NOT risk free as your letter says? I could lose it
Tom: Risk Free as in, if you deposit your money, you will get the bonus.
Tom: Is there anything else I might be able to help you with?
nicola: but you need to confirm that I can withdraw £1000 back to my card
Tom: As I said, if you claim a bonus, before you can make a withdrawal, you will have to meet the wagering requirements.
nicola: so there is a risk involved?
Tom: Of course there is a change you might win money or loose money. Its a Casino.
