Sounds great, as all the casino ones do, but they all turn out to be a complete waste of space and time, don't bother unless you're going to actually deposit after you inevitably blow your 'free' no deposit bonus.
Yeah, fine, you get £30, but you have to wager £600 - by the time you do you'll be lucky to have anything left. I was up to £100 but had to keep going as I'd only wagered about 200, how convenient for them that by the time I almost wagered the 600 I was down to nothing.
So all my first experience of their casino gave me was frustration.

Was doing well, but it sucks it back off you before you ever reach that 20 x amount. And they know it too. Some of the slots are minimum 10 cent per line, I was playing 10 lines on them after building it up on the few lower stake ones they happen to have.
Good casino, they have some of my fav's like Geisha story (pkr has it but allows lower line bets) but 10c each line is a bit rich for a €30 start. Doubt many will clear it without depositing. The annoying thing is I was up about €40 after about €550 wagered ... then couldn't hit one thing any spin! .... strange huh ...
I'd have deposited happily had i come out with even the original €30 to play on with but now I doubt I will, see how their 20x trick backfires?

I'm too not fond of casino no deposit offers. they require insanely high waging requirements and you need to be extremely lucky to win anything.So i don't try them, complete waste of time anyways casino is just a luck game, no skill involved at all

I know there's no skill involved, only luck, but I've cashed in quite a few of them online, usually the ones related to poker sites where you can transfer money easily. i don't trust the bling, bling ones, the ones that offer a free $1000 for an hours play - the restrictions are way too high to bother with and I've heard nothing but bad things on most of them regarding actual withdrawals.
Can anyone recommend any through here that are genuine and don't mess you about with withdrawing if you do get lucky?
20x is standard, but there's a reason, because it's hard to continue winning from a small deposit to clear the amount.

I had also bad experience with online casinos. To wager 20x is very hard, 40x impossible. I lost much money at one casino because I deposited again. Own fault

its not crap, they allow blackjack and roulette, which is cool, but the wagering of blackjack is 10%, and the roulette is 20% only.. slots are 100%, but we all know thats impossible.. blackjack and roulette are slow but guaranteed winning

If you were guaranteed wins on your blackjack, then you wouldn't be looking for freebies, you'd be off winning millions.
One thing I find with slots is you're better off to bet more per line, and less lines, rather than smaller bets on more lines.
Say a slot enables 25 lines, and you're doing 5c per line - that's $1.25 per spin an most of those lines pay nothing, ever. Instead play 10 lines at 10c per line, $1 a spin and any lines hitting will pay double what you get on the other option. And so on ...
I've won most on slots when I played only 5 or 6 lines at 10c per line.
