Only in the sense that you get to play a game or two without using your own money. Signing up for a new casino account can get you around 20 free spins, but adding as little as $10 to your account often gets you over 100 free spins. You’ll always get more when you pay though. Some offers may require you to play a specific pokie but, every now and then, you get to choose which casino games you want to play. The requirement attached to claim the freebie is a hoop, not a ring of fire. If you’re hunting for a new casino anyway and already planned to register, this is a win-win situation. Whether the promotion is used as an incentive for you to register an account or to sign up for the loyalty programme, the casino will always have a hoop for you to jump through to access the freebie.

When online casinos offer you a freebie, they almost always require that you DO something to claim it.
