Normally, a story like this would carry the title ‘New and Improved Welcome Offer’, but that isn’t how this particular situation is working. For reasons that we will get into, Foxy Bingo’s welcome offer has been relaunched, and it has genuinely got worse.
About the new offer
Up until December 9th, 2016, the welcome offer at Foxy Bingo was as follows:*Sign up to the site, input your bank details, and immediately receive a £5 bonus, no deposit necessary. *A 300% cash match bonus on the first deposit you made at Foxy Bingo. *New players could access the free play room for three days from the time of your first deposit. The room offers a variety of jackpots totalling £250 every day. Pretty good right? Well, things have changed now, and not for the better, as the new welcome offer at Foxy Bingo is the same, except that the £5 bonus you used to get when you signed up has disappeared. Everything else has remained the same.
Why the change?
It cannot be guaranteed why Foxy Bingo have chosen to remove this particular offer from their welcome bonus, but we can make an educated guess at an answer. In August 2017, the law will change to see a tax levied on any free bets at gambling sites, so it has been expected that sites would start to make changes before then. However, the assumption was that sites would be taking advantage of the tax-free freebies, which makes it very odd that Foxy Bingo has decided to drop theirs. It remains to be seen whether this offer will return, or something else will be added to replace it, but as it stands now, signing up to Foxy Bingo is less beneficial than it was a week ago.
