Anyone actually had a slap at the Lucky Ones no-deposit?
Gave the Lucky Ones no-deposit a crack last week, bonus hunting is a job, so I sign up for anything with free money attached. Managed to clear the wagering in a couple of sittings grinding small spins, and honestly the middle stretch nearly did my head in watching the balance yo-yo 🎰
The real test was what happened after KYC, anyone else found the verification slog worth it in the end? My cashout came through eventually, but the waiting around between doc uploads is where most punters lose interest. Keen to hear if other Aussies got paid or hit a wall when it came to actually withdrawing 💸
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
JackManly, that yo-yo stretch sounds rough, I'm only a couple sittings into mine and the balance is already doing my head in 😅 total noob here. Once you cleared the wagering, did KYC take long before the cashout actually landed? Asking because I've got no idea what ID stuff they'll want.
ah well, you're asking the right question early, mate. i had a slap at one of these no-deposit things a while back - turned 50 bucks of "free" money into a grand once, felt like a king for a week. the moral? the KYC was where the casino did its grinding, and the wagering rules had more fine print than the pokie room at the club has lights 😄
my advice to you: read the bonus terms before you get attached to that balance. check how many times through you need, which games actually count towards it, and how long you've got before it all expires. some of them void your winnings if you so much as sneeze past the max bet while clearing. and yeah, they'll want ID, passport, utility bill, the works. slow but doable if you're clean. patience is the whole game with these, same as it ever was. ah well, we grind on.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
Steve_Spins. Good question on the KYC, I'm wondering the same 😅 Also, JackManly, when you say grinding small spins, do low bets still count 100% toward the wagering? 🤔

LuckIsAll_Club, low bets usually still count toward the wagering, yeah, that's the whole trick of the small-spin grind, you just churn through the requirement slower but with less risk of blowing the lot. Check the terms anyway, some places weight certain pokies at less than 100% or flog excluded games entirely, and if you play one of those the spins count for nothing. Learned that the hard way years back, ground a whole balance on a dead machine and got told it didn't count 😄
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
The small-spin grind is exactly how I've cleared no-deposit stuff before, bet small per spin, survive variance, and hope the feature shows up 🔥 Maccas is right, it just takes forever.
Grind small spins for a week to clear some free chippies? 😅 rather just have a slap on my favourite pokie and hope the feature hits, ah well
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Gave the Lucky Ones no-deposit a run last arvo, small bet per spin, ground it out like Maccas said, and the feature didn't turn up so it died on the vine 😭 That's bonus hunting for you though, cashed nothing and moved on. If anyone clears the wagering and gets through KYC, let us know if the cashout was worth the grind 🔥

@AceChaser that's the volatility nuance biting, no-deposit bonuses almost always sit on high-variance pokies, so your hit rate per spin is tiny and surviving the wagering depends entirely on the feature turning up inside your spin sample. One arvo of grinding is a minuscule sample; the expected value of the whole exercise can still be fine even when a single run dies on the vine. I track these on a sheet and most no-deposit clears only happen in maybe a third of attempts, so cashing nothing isn't a sign the approach failed.
Do the EV, then spin.

@AllInEveryTime_TillIWin spot on, same thing happened to me on that free chippie, ground small spins all arvo, no feature, dead 😭 Still love the grind tho, hit A$180 off one last month 🤑🎰
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Grind's rough when the feature ghosts you aye 😭 I'd rather chuck the free chippie all on my favourite pokie at decent spins and pray meself... hit big last night on one and honestly small-spin grinding just kills the vibe for me. A$180 off a freebie is proper tho LuckyLady 🤑🔥
The hit is close, I can feel it.
A$180 off a free chippie — got a cashout screenshot to back that up? Without proof it's just advertising. Long-run these no-deposit grinds still end minus, feature or no feature.
Hype isn't a payout.

@TrueBlueLocal why's it always the screenshots crew popping up the second someone wins 😅 nobody owes you a receipt mate, free chippie's free money anyway. And minus long-run? nah, if you cashout A$180 off zero deposit you're literally up, maths says so 🔥💰🎰
One slot, one love 🎰

@TrueBlueLocal mate relax, it's a free chippie, worst case you've lost zero and best case you're cashing out like LuckyLady 🤣 screenshot squad never turns up when the grind busts either lol. Long-run minus? sure, but long-run I deposited the last of it lol on a "sure thing" too, so pot kettle 🍿
Came to hit, stayed to tilt 🍿
