Free Bingo Bonuses or No Free Bingo Bonuses.......

Hiya Bingo Players,

From time to time we do get members who are not very happy about bingo sites that offer a no deposit bonus only to find out they can't cash out any wins. By the same token we get members that are not happy because bingo sites do not offer any free chips and feel they are stingy.

I am curious to hear how players feel on this topic. Should sites not offer free bingo bonuses if they are nothing more than a free trial offer or do you enjoy playing for free regardless of cashing in or not?

I like the bonuses. Many times I can play slots and I'm able to try out new games or explore changes to the site risk free. I don't care that I can't cash out but sometimes giving freebies so often can be confusing when they're not cashable.

I think the impression of stinginess comes into play when we see casinos offering no deposit bonuses with wagering requirements and cashout limits in place but we can't get the same for bingo.

I welcome the existence of free trial offers, that is for certain, i always like to scope around for free first on a new site, that is when free trial deffinitly comes handy.

On the other hand, i dont percieve free trial as a bonus offer, certainly not in the manner i percieve no deposit or deposit offers. I dont think a descent site is unable to afford offering of $5 no deposit bonus for example, but choosing to do so builds a nice picture about the site. I wouldnt rush to play on a site just because they offer a no deposit bonus, but still somehow without it site can look a bit cheap.

i feel that if a site offers a free sign up bonus or a no deposit bonus, i actually think that is what they should be a no deposit bonus and i think all bonuses should be cashable when u have met the wager requirements. although yes i do understand it can help us test the site out, but there is other questioins that then need to be asked. why do they give free bonuses that cant be cashed out, and why do they give them every week when u know how the site works if u get them every week, for example a bingo site that does a £5 bonus every week just to try out the site, why do they need a bonus every week that cant be cashable just to try the site out, the site is going to be exactly the same every week so i find it pointless when they offer them everyweek for absolutely no purpose.

i think i have said what i think hehe,

I still enjoy playing without cashing out but I think it would be good to be able to cash out any win. If they offer me a no deposit bonus and I win something I would like to cash it out. It wouldn't hurt anyone and it would be fair to players. If the rules are clear, the players would be satisfied. Players are costumers and the costumer is always right.  O:-)

Main thing that appears as a problem is that we used to be able to test games on casino sites as much as we like, through fun mode play. But bingo sites dont have fun mode for bingo, or majority of them dont have it, but instead of the fun mode they give free trial bonus. If i dont have fun mode, than they could at least remove the fun play limit and not offer it as a $5-$20 bonus (or even $1 on some sites)

hey lipstick long time no see. Good topic you started here. I been busy but havent given up on playing bingo once in a while. I got to have a bonus. It helps when i can cash out using it ofc but if i can't i chalk it up to experience for myself as a newbie.

I have to agree especially with the last part. Casinos offer bonuses that we can withdraw from but bingo seems to be a different thing. Most of the bingos that send all the free bonuses dont take US players anyway. >:(

Good to see you Tommy. Glad to see you're around and still bingoing! Keep up the good work LOL If you need any tips just ask  :)
