I spotted an advert for this casino offering a comparatively large £21 no deposit bonus just recently alongside a favourable review from an existing player so decided it might be worth checking them out. I guess the name "777" should have given me a clue, but I was gutted when I started checking out the website and discovered that this was yet another of the plethora of on-line gaming sites operated by Cassava, AKA 888. Whilst I haven't suffered too badly at the hands of this group - certainly not in comparison to the horror stories I read with alarming frequency whilst browsing gaming forums on-line, I did make a decision some time ago that I didn't agree with their business practices and would avoid playing at their properties as a result. Every time I deviate from my views on this matter I inevitably end up regretting having done so, most recently at "Spinzilla" where I accepted their first deposit match bonus with outrageous 50x deposit plus bonus wagering requirement - unsurprisingly I didn't come close to clearing this huge mountain of required betting, so I won't be repeating that mistake by putting my own money in again at 777.
I did choose to accept the £21 free play bonus - it was free money, after all. The terms and conditions were unbelievably long and I didn't think there was any realistic chance of reaching the chance to make a withdrawal so I looked only for the most relevant items when playing with no deposit money such as the wagering requirement and permitted games. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw winnings from this offer are capped at just £21, and that's after you have wagered the money thirty times ... a deposit of £15 is required before the money can be withdrawn as well which is not unfair or unusual but nevertheless adds to the feeling that this bonus is nothing more than a ploy to try and rope in new paying customers. Okay, okay I know all bonuses are essentially promotional devices intended to attract players, but they work much better if the player feels they are getting a good deal, which for me, this bonus does not!
Such trickery is not new with this group of course, and forms the majority of peoples objections to the casinos they operate. Another example would be the deposit bonus of 100% up to £200 - the signup form has the bonus code "WELCOME777" already entered into the relevant field, and if you do not remove it then when you make your deposit in order to withdraw your no deposit bonus winnings, you will automatically be credited with the match bonus which comes with it's own wagering, preventing you from making a withdrawal until (and unless) you manage to complete that second mountain of mandatory bets. Remove the code from the form, just in case you do manage to win yourself a free £21 and you will no longer be able to claim the match bonus, even if you lose the no deposit money... it's a no win situation for the player and a reputable casino would offer a solution to this catch-22, but of course Cassava do not.
Some players do report positive experiences with these casinos but clearly their standards are much lower than mine. Withdrawal times are among the worst around, support generally (but not always) unhelpful and unknowledgable, particularly with more detailed aspects of the casino and don't even think about any kind of technical query to do with the games. It's simply not good enough!
