IS IT POSSIBLE TO BET ONLINE WITHOUT DEPOSITING MONEY?
Many people, especially new bettors without much experience, can be easily fooled by online betting sites through all sorts of marketing ploys when it comes to betting without money. If you browse the most popular search engines, you can see that there are so many searches for "free betting" or "bet without depositing", proving that people are trying to find ways of betting for free.
Although people who search for betting without money do not represent the best group that online bookmakers target, they started to take advantage of this through all sorts of ways. Basically, through false or let's say marketing with hidden elements, bookmakers started to attract this kind of people with the goal to make them deposit and use their services.
First of all, people should know that in most cases bettors can't bet without depositing money. Most of the bonuses or promotions you find on the internet are offered only if you make deposits. When you read something like "Register and grab a $100 bonus!" it may sound like you receive $100 if you just register, but in reality there are "hidden" terms somewhere at the bottom of the page which specify that you need to deposit. Unfortunately, these types of promotions are getting more and more popular, you see them everywhere, and they create a lot of frustration among bettors who are really looking for ways of betting without money. People get disappointed after they register and simply find out that they do not receive what they were expecting.
The good news is that there are some exceptions and sometimes bettors can really enjoy free bonuses without depositing. Here are some examples:
- Casino no deposit bonuses are by far the most popular bonuses which are delivered without depositing. You can find such bonuses mainly on new online casino sites which try to attract new customers. Fortunately, these bonuses require a lot of wagering (sometimes up to 100 times the amount) and even if you win, you can only withdraw up to a certain limit which is usually between $50 and $100.
- Sportsbook no deposit bonuses can also be available in some situations. For example, you can notice no deposit bonuses delivered by new bookies in order to create a big database of players. Another example is that some bookies, which are already well-known, can deliver no deposit bonuses within a community (forum, chat, website) as a way of helping that specific website to attract more referrals.
- Betting websites can also deliver all sorts of special promotions which do not require any kind of deposit. For example, when there are holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Easter, online bookmakers can create contests with prizes in cash money (credited to betting account).
Overall, when it comes to betting without money you should not put big hopes in this because the chances of finding a place where you can really bet for free are low. However, you can enjoy a lot of places with free bonuses and contests, even if in the end you will probably not be able to actually win something.
