Man am I getting tired of seeing these.
Depost $25 or more and get 20 free spins at the lowest bet possible. 50 free spins if you deposit over $100. Soon they will be pushing these free spins at 1 line 1 cent per line. Ridiculous. Whats even awesomer is those 'free spins' come with wagering requirements attached.
So the casino wants me to deposit $100, get 50 free spins and like $5 at 30X or so of wagering requirements get snuck into my balance. TSK TSK I say.
I've seen posts about this before and if any casinos are listening here is some food for thought on player retention....
Last month I went into my local B&M and signed up for their comp program.
Since then I've done $100 here and there, nothing huge by any stretch of the imagination. So far I have managed to cash in $45 in comps. NO PLAY THROUGH, I just hand them my ID and Comp card and they had me COLD HARD CASH which I am then free to walk away and do with as I wish. In addition to the comps I received, I have also received 4 $5 coupons for play the first week of June totaling $20 and a Flyer that entitles me to a Free Everyone is a winner lottery ticket, all I have to do is head down and pick it up.
So anyways. If you want to retain players, sneaking in 'stings attached' free spins with little to no value is not the way to go about it.
