Ive been told that 888 will match whatever you put in, up to $200. Is this true?
Can you then withdraw your original deposit and then just play with the free money?
Are there any dodgy terms and conditions?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I have emailed them but would like an impartial view.

Cheers

Also,
How easy is it for you to withdraw your money from 888?I have heard of some casinos holding on to your money to try and make you gamble more but 888 is massive, are they legit?

There a whole host of terms and conditions that they trap you with.
Firstly they dont match you 100% like they say, they give you 25% and the remainder will be given once you have gotten 200 comp points which means wagering $2000.
Also to withdraw your money and play with the bonus im not sure can be done until you have wagerd a certain amount

Pretty much all casinos require you to bet a certain amount before they will let you withdraw any bonuses. They arent a charity giving away free money, they are a business trying to get you to play

So if you are a player then they are offering you some extra cash to play with them, and their terms are not difficult to meet if you are actually interested in playing (maybe an hour of play in many cases).

If you are just looking for free money then the terms will make that harder for you because they dont really want to just give away $200 to everyone who comes along

Yes, Anthony is right you have to play to earn your bonus but 888 is a legit and well respected casino so you will eventually get the playing bonus.

On a similar matter has anybody heard of SuproCasino? They are a skin of 888, same software etc, but their bonus actually seems much better then 888's - 1200$.

I downloaded and played on the demo yesterday and its got a much fresher feel than 888 which doesn't seem to have been upgraded in aeons.
I looked at the T's and C's for the bonus and it seems manageable so I may play for real this weekend.

ALWAYS read the Terms & Conditions, and don't just go looking for the 'biggest bonus' out there - the bigger the bonus, the bigger the requirements are.
I have seen a few websites in my time that gives you only $5 for free - but in those cases the money has actually been FREE, no requirements but the fact that the money can't be paid out directly but has to be played with. What is worth the most? $1.200 that has to be played through xx times, cant be used on xxx games, has to be used within xx days, has to be sent to the moon in a grey tank with a falafel on top and back again before it can be paid out, or the $5 that you are guaranteed to have for free?

Some players are luckier than others, and some players will exploit offers that hasn't protected themselves against perfect blackjack play or the like, but usually a free bonus won't help you anything - unless it is really free.
