Hello everyone!
I hope there are some patient folks out there that won't mind helping me out from time to time.
OK. I see all the offers for free no deposit 1 hour play. What I don't understand is do I have to have bet all $500 to be able to collect anything over that? I figured there has to be a catch. I'm pretty new to casinos period, (55, and for the first time in my life, started going to local casinos about a year ago) so online and how to play the free stuff has me a bit confused.
Thanks to anyone in advance!

Welcome to WCD and online casinos!

Let me start with the standard answer you will get alot:

"It Depends"

If you can tell us which one you are particularly looking at we can help better. All the requirements are listed in the terms and agreement section but to be honest, they can read like jibberish sometimes.

Most work like this:

They give you "x" amount of money and an hour to play. Any amount of money you win OVER the initial amount you get to keep BUT (and there always is one) you have to wager so much to be able to withdraw your winnings.

Again, let us know which one and I am sure someone has played there.

Hay LetitRide--
Thanks!! I was reading about Casino Classic. I am so GREEN at this, I didn't know if my hour would include reading all the rules and regs! I usually don't understand them anyway -- so YES, anyone that can explain this to me--HELP. I can't tell you thanks enough.!

Piggypot, if you can post the terms and conditions of the offer you are trying to cash in on that would help. Then we can decode it for you here!

Hi Bernie
I can't SEE the terms and conditions until I download the casino, then click the 'Start My Freeplay' button. I did a live chat with them at Captain Cooks Casino and I was told that my 1 hour started when I hit that magic button--and that is when the terms and conditions come up for the Free $500/1Hour play. So I have to read, and understand the conditions, and play all in the 1 hour time period. I was first looking at the same offer at Casino Classic, but I stumbled across the live 'help chat' at Captain Cooks, so I asked. I figured the 'basic' terms would be the same--maybe not the same figures, but in general. I just don't unnerstan em! I've looked at the places that offer 'bonus' like the 200% things and I really don't understand them. On those it 'looks' like ya have to lose whatever they give you 15 times over before they give the bonus to you. Am I clear as mud? Dazed confused & a newbie, & numbers aren't my thing. I just love to play. Thanks!

If you think about it though, you lose the same money over and over again. Take slots for example, you put in a coin and get 1 of something that pays (like 1 cherry, or 1 lightening bolt, etc.) you "win" the amount of your bet, so you've spent a coin, and won it back. How many times do you hit that one thing that pays your bet? A lot!!! And you put it right back. You can spend $50 and still have what you started with just by landing on that one thing over and over. And, if you're playing cards, the hand you lose is money spent even if you turn around and win twice that much in the next hand. I don't know about 15 times the amount, I've honestly never come out ahead in an internet casino (but I haven't played very much either). But good luck to you! Win a jackpot and come back and brag.
