No Deposit Online Casinos: Do they exist?

Do the "no deposit online casinos" really exist or is it just a myth?

No Deposit Online Casinos: Do they exist? As you can imagine, we get a lot of emails from our readers throughout the day, some people praise us, some criticize us and some just ask questions. And recently one of the most asked question is about the so-called "no deposit online casinos", do they exist, how come you can gamble online without depositing, what's the catch, etc. And here is a brief explanation about the no-deposit online casinos, truth and fiction.

First, let me say that there is no such thing as free lunch. That said, you can certainly smell the meal outside of the kitchen. Almost all online casinos allow you to play in a "free mode", which means that once you open an account with the casino, you have the choice to play for real money or just for fun. Example of this type of no deposit online casinos are Vegas Casino Online and Golden Casino. Both give you the option to try the games with "fake" money, usually 2,000 credits. You can play pretty much all of the casino games, except for the progressive jackpot games. Naturally, you cannot win real money while playing in the free mode, but it gives you a chance to check out what the casino has to offer. If you decide that the casino games are in your liking, then you can deposit real money and play for real. This is the most popular type of "no deposit online casinos" and the only one we think it's fair to both the online gambling website and to its customers.

Now, there is another kind of no deposit online casinos. These online casinos give you free money, usually around $15-$20, and you can gamble it and win real money. What's the catch with this type of no deposit online casinos? First, none of the honest online casinos will ever offer free real money without depositing, as the chances are that most people will actually win at least double the amount. Thus, you have to ask yourself the question, why is this gambling website offering me money absolutely free, without even depositing? And second, just in case you happen to win somehow, the withdrawal of those no-deposit casino bonus offers are "guarded" by vigorous wagering requirements, impossible to cover.

So next time you see offers for "no deposit online casinos", make sure you know which kind of no deposit online casinos those are. You don't want to waste your time and risk your personal information.
