Bit of a rant, but I reckon most of those join-up freebies are rubbish these days. You see the ad and think sweet, a few spins or a small balance to have a crack without chucking in your own cash... then you read the fine print and it turns into 60x wagering, tiny max cashout, half the games blocked, and somehow they still want your whole life story before you can touch anything. Feels like they dangle a carrot then move the bloody stick.
What really does my head in is when people call them "free money". Nah. If I need to jump through five hoops, send ID, wait around, and then get told the win cap is bugger all, it is not exactly a ripper deal. I'd almost rather a decent first deposit promo with fair terms than these stingy teaser offers that look better than they are. At least then you know what game you're playing.
Maybe I'm being harsh, but that's how it looks from my side. Have any of you actually found one that was worth the hassle lately, or are they all taking the piss now? Keen to hear which sites were decent and which ones were pure bait.
