My thoughts: The harsh reality is, the N1 rep referenced no deposit bonuses. I would suggest from previous experience that 99% of signups claiming a no deposit bonus don’t win so it’s a pointless task.
Players are automatically checked for age and basic KYC on registration (or bonus claim etc). That’s enough for a no deposit bonus. If they then add payment methods to withdraw, or win above set thresholds additional checks can then be triggered. Isn’t that fair? Particularly if it’s a win from no deposit.
Fraud alerts for collusion or fake docs might trigger on bonus award but it’s probably cheaper to allow the NDB than check the losing accounts for fraud? Why scrutinise a player who claims an NDB and doesn’t win? If they had to verify before the bonus was awarded, 1, the players wouldn’t bother and 2, the staff required to carry out the verification would cost too much.
Obviously the process is different if a player is depositing their own cash I just wanted to share some thoughts on no deposit players as I’ve had some experience of that in the past and that’s what N1 referenced which may have been overlooked.
