Understanding the Free in Freebie

Understanding the Free in Freebie isn’t always clear.

Lets start off with the truth and Understanding the Free in Freebie. Let’s work our way through the facts, “Free is relative but seldom absolute”.

Using the word Free really does conjure up all sorts of different scenarios and none of them look as promising as they should, and that is down to the poor image that the word Free has! First thoughts when reading the word Free is, “where’s the catch”.

Free usually comes with conditions and therefore isn’t entirely Free, but what it the word Free was replaced by “Additional” at “no further cost”, or buy one get one “Free-er” than the last, would it send out a better understanding of the word Free? Yes, but it doesn’t look as catchy.

Bingo and other gaming platforms often use the word Free, but there is always a consequence to getting your Free and every kind of online Free comes with rules and regulations that if not read could/would or should lead to complications and misunderstanding.

So are they wrong to promote Free when it has conditions? No! Any misunderstanding or fault is always down to not reading the small print. Don’t get me wrong, every single one of the Bingo sites displayed on MyBingoBonus have no intention of deliberately confusing or tricking players, but there is a limit to the Free that you get and you need to know it before you play.

Here are a few things you need to know about some of the most popular Free offers;

Registration Bonus Freebie 

To get any of the Free offers you need to register first. This give the bingo site a legal bind that protects you and is also a requirement of the law. Although registration is always Free, you do need to provide the site with information and a valid Credit card. This gives the site a means of paying you your winnings and also provides the site with Personal Information in order to conduct appropriate anti fraud checks. Regular age, proof of identity and fraud checks will be made, but this is purely for your protection.

No Deposit

This is the best way to get you to the site and it shows that a bingo sites is confident of what they have on offer and are willing to let you test them first. There are restrictions to No Deposit Bingo, but that is usually restriction to enter into high pot games such as Network Progressive games or monthly massive jackpots.

Winning when playing with your No Deposit bonus usually means that you get to keep the winnings, but cash withdrawal rules apply here and this means you need a minimum amount of funds (ie £30) in your account, and there may be wager requirements as well.
Our Tip: Please, Please, Please use a No Deposit site first. Getting a Free pass to look and play bingo games is a brilliant way to see what they are like. This is the best way to start an account and one we would always go for.

Understanding the Free in Freebie play

The definition of this is a game at a bingo room that has tickets at no further cost to you. These tickets are usually restricted in the amount of tickets each account is allowed, and is normally restricted to funded players only. To be a funded player you need to have deposited at least once and still have an active account.

Restrictions in withdrawal my apply. If, the amount won is under the minimum withdrawal threshold of the site. Usually dependent on the payment method used.
Our tip: Free play games are great and when possible should be played. Once you are a registered player and have deposited, there are few restrictions for the use of Free play games, so enjoy.

BOGOF

By definition of the game the explanation is in the title. Buy One Get One Free is exactly that, you actually get two bingo tickets for the price of one. This offer is usually a really good start to any Bingo day with very few if any restrictions.
Our Tip: Always a good offer that shouldn’t be passed up.

Bonus Money

With nearly every bingo game that you find online there is bonus money to be had. This is usually in the form of a deposit match, which varies in percentage (100%, 200% etc). If the bonus match is 100% and you deposit £10, then your deposit match is £10, giving you £20 which is credited to your account. The restrictions to this bonus only start when you want to cash out. Each bingo site has it’s own rules and regulations, but most of them expect a little something in return for the Free Bonus.

Basically before you can withdraw your winnings you will usually need to wager 4 x the sum of the deposit + bonus prior to cashing out. For example, if you have deposited £10, and get a bonus of £10, then your wager requirements will be £80 (£10 +£10 = £20 x 4 = £80). If you lose your deposit and bonus, then the withdrawal wager requirements are £0.
Our Tip: Deposit the minimum amount allowed for a bonus qualification, which is normally £5. That way the 4 x rule is not as effective and you will be in the cash much quicker. Or, refuse the cash match offer and play with your deposit.

Read the small print before you click the “Accept” box and these issues won’t e a problem. If in doubt, mail us a marketing@mybingobonus.com. We’ll take the time to read through the rules and give you a heads-up.
