How did casinos offering free spins at min stake become the norm?

[Stranger111]

How did offering free spins at min stake become the norm for casino bonuses? Every promo is "wow! deposit £xx and get yy freespins on big bass!"
Its tedious spinning at 10p - If I hit a bonus I just wish it was on one of my usual 60p-£1.20 stakes
Curious if anyone gets as excited about these 10p free spins as the casinos think we do?

From the number of Big Bass copies, hodl and spins and book games its clear that 95% of the casino industry has very little creativity but can we please move on from these exciting 10p fs "mega-bundles" lol

It depends I guess, if the free spins are in addition to a deposit bonus and therefore no maximum withdrawal limit applied, then can be okay from my point of view.

However, if it is a no deposit free spins bonus with a ridiculously low withdrawal limit, fine for low stakes players. But those of us that normally bet on average a £/$1 a spin or more, these are then not very alluring.

What I mean is - do they think players like 10p spins? Is there no better idea? Why have they ALL adopted this? It's the most tedious way of "enticement"

I've only really known 10p free spins the last few years on most sites I play that have given any. (Apart from say Vs where they give more in certain battles battles but then that's usually only upto 20p)

From my pov I don't mind, they are free, I'm a low roller - I'll even go to 5p spins if a game allows

Now and then a site might give me something better but it's rare - one site gave me 10 x 50p spins twice a couple months ago but that was quite rare for me.

I've had 2,3, 4 and 5 x 10p spins on big bass games and still triggered bonus, numerous times the last few months and I still get some excitement from it cause I'm such a low rolling player, and it's free and a bonus can be exciting

Overall I could imagine alot not finding them exciting but just to add , I've had over £500 from 5 x 10p spins before , a couple of £200+ from 5 x 10p spins. So for me, I don't mind as there's always a chance (altho game dependent too)

low threshold, isn't? Players definitely appreciate 10p spins.

updated the title, just to be a bit clearer on the thread topic.

10 p isnt too bad its the free spins on games global penny roller at 1p that's bad

Worst ever was the infamous promotion on Cashapillar slot with 1p single line stakes, on a 100-line game. It really happened!

Yeah this is POOR

They don't make me too excited, for sure. Depends on how many of those freespins (the total $ value). And no limit withdrawal as Webzcas said. I usually just collect that amount, once it hits a sizable amount I use it on a big real money session. I know it makes a lot of low value spinners excited judging from trollbox on some sites

Yes, that's what you call an EV------- proposition.

10 Free Spins on Big Bass Bonanza sounds better than 'Join us and we'll give you a quid!' Plus it whets the appetite of the punter, who thinks he might get lucky from those spins when in reality he'll probably play them off without getting a single reel win. These Big Bass games should be fired into the sun, along with the insecure, parasitic, fat narcissistic chancer who's in charge of game design at that studio.

Well I have to say, I have not seen a 50x wager demand on free spin winnings for a long time lol
