There are casinos online that offer a free hour or a free number of slot spins and there are casinos that offer a subscription plan of so much a month that are quote no deposit casinos. The point of this is there is no free lunch in the casino world just like there is none in other areas of a player’s life. If you do the free hour or the free 200 slot spins, any money you win is tied up with all kinds of withdrawal rules. One casino that this author tried just to see what would happen had this deal, one hour of free play and you get the winnings credited to your account. The winnings totaled over $150 for the hour of play. In order to get the money out of the account, I had to then make a minimum deposit and play through so many times each dollar in the account. So much for a no deposit casino. There are no free lunches folks and this is just another way to get customers to try a site.

The one casino that offers free play for a monthly fee, which is very small, like under $20, then lets you play in poker tournaments that offer real money prizes.I did not bother to read the withdrawal rules, as I was not interested in joining a site that depended on monthly fees to survive.

As an old time gambler I know there is only one way to win. Put up your money and take the risk of losing in order to win. No risk no money for you after the fact.

Some would suggest that getting sizeable matching bonuses on an initial deposit is similar to no deposit. That just does not make sense, as you do have to put money into an account with the online site to get the bonus credited to your account. Even then you have to play so many dollars of play in order to get the bonus released so it is real money in your account.

All most all online casinos have what they call a play money side to their website and here there is no deposit required at all. You can open an account and then play for free with play money, but the money is just that play money that has no value to the player. The one advantage to this play is a player can try a system of bets with no risk and see the results in real time. Many roulette players try this way to see if a betting pattern has any merit or not.

A player could also see if a progressive betting system or a parlay system had any merit over a specific number of plays. There are some very smart gamblers who do know through their method of play that they cut down the house edge. They cannot move it to their side of the percentages. The only game that a player can get an edge in is Blackjack if the player can count cards and the casino will let them play. Unfortunately counting cards cannot be done online.

The final statement on no deposit casinos is they do exist on paper, but make sure you read the rules on withdrawals and what can be done with profits from free spins or a free hour of play. Do not be surprised if you find a hooker in the fine print and you cannot do what you can do with winnings that are the result of risking your own money. Casinos would go broke if they really allowed gamblers to win without putting up any of their own money in some way.
