Wink Bingo recently announced that they would be dropping their current free £15 no deposit offer for new members: Despite the fact that this offer was considered by many to be a major attribute to their phenomenal success over the past two years (this offer being in place since their original launch). Since the announcement there has been speculation that the withdraw is because Wink Bingo was recently sold to major online gaming operator 888 holdings for £60Million – possibly down to 888 looking to improve overall financial performance.
Even so, there was a last minute turn around and Wink have now decided to continue the offer until the end of march: Although it should be noted that while they will accept players from Europe, if you do NOT have a UK bank card then you will NOT get the bonus… Now Jackpot City have also announced that they too will be dropping their current £25 no deposit offer – now it is necessary to make a deposit to get a bonus. They too have had their no deposit offer in place since their re-launch last year. Dream Bingo also dropped their no deposit offer last October.
What is the true cause is pure speculation – some say it is because too many players are ‘abusing’ the system; signing up solely for the free money with no intentions of becoming a regular player: This seems a harsh statement – after all, players should be free to choose, it is NOT a compulsory obligation to make a deposit because you have used free play money. In fact the point is to try out the site, so maybe they simply need to make their games more interesting! Others say that it is because free bingo is on its way out because it is ‘bad business’– well, that seems a little misleading too as there are still plenty of free no deposit operators going big guns.
Cheeky bingo and Costa Bingo are free bingo no deposit sites who are still giving their players – both non depositing and funded – a huge daily dose of free games with cash prizes. Crown bingo and the 888 ladies (who are also owned by 888 holdings same as Wink Bingo) are continuing to offer £5 free-play with no deposit required: Some players at Crown Bingo have managed to win as much as £200 from the free £5; so this proves that these no deposit sign up offers provide a great opportunity for online players to win cash for free as well as try out the site.
Even so, there does seem to be a cut back and regardless of the reason maybe that indicates NOW is the time to take advantage of these free no deposit offers. Maybe not leave it to chance? No time like the present as they say!
