DISLIKED
There are a couple of other options for a welcome bonus at Maria Casino posted here at AskGamblers right now but this is the one they advertise on their own website and also offers the largest maximum bonus - if you would prefer a 150% bonus up to a maximum of £60 or a 200% bonus up to a maximum of £20 then check out the Maria Casino page for those offers, but personally I think a 100% match on £100 is far more attractive than both of those although smaller depositors may well disagree. You'll need to deposit within seven days of registering with the casino in order to receive the bonus so if you have a no deposit bonus you'd like to take at this casino be sure to wait until you are ready to deposit as well.
Maria also throws in 40 free spins, but sadly not only do they have to be played on NetEnt's Starburst, but they are also broken up into 10 free spins for four days as well, and the terms state that they will expire at the end of each day so you can't even wait until day four and play them all together as you can at some casinos. I've seen similar terms to this before, forgotten about a day, and then found I had double spins when I logged in, but I haven't tested if that is the case at Maria. On the plus side the wagering for the free spins is set low at 15x the amount of your winnings and those can be saved across the four days allowing the chance to try and beat the wagering requirement with your combined amount.
The 100% match itself comes with a slightly higher 25x wagering requirement which is still very low by current standards however unusually for a Unibet casino this is not a cashable bonus and will be removed from your account upon completion of the wagering requirement. That's really quite disappoint and worse still several popular games are excluded from wagering as well including Dead or Alive, the Jack Hammer and Thunderstruck games and Bloodsuckers.
For me the non cashable nature of this bonus really kills it, sadly I wasn't aware of this when I deposited despite the fact it is written clearly in the terms and conditions, so hopefully I've saved somebody else from the same experience. It's a great casino otherwise though.
