Wagering requirements are a trap dressed as a gift. Casinos dangle bonuses to pull you in, but the fine print—say, 40x rollover on a $100 bonus—means you’re betting thousands before cashing out. Most players burn through their bankroll chasing that. My take? Hunt for low-wager or no-wager promos. They’re rare, but they exist if you dig deep enough. Always check the max bet limits too—some casinos cap you at $5 per spin to stretch your grind. It’s not rigged outright, but it’s stacked to make you bleed slow.
