The world of online bingo, and particularly the promotions on offer from online bingo sites, has changed a huge amount over recent years. Changes to taxes and laws have resulted in the once frequently available no-deposit bonus for those signing up at a bingo site for the first time being far less available, and another scalp has been taken in the shape of Cozy Games.
The changes
Cozy Games have been associated with no-deposit bonuses for a long time, and even when most other bingo sites were stopping offering the promotions, Cozy stood strong, but they have finally given up the fight. The tax increases have meant that no-deposit bonuses are no longer feasible, and as a result, Cozy Games will be dropping their famed £15 no deposit bonus from all their sites.
The replacement
It isn’t all bad news for Cozy players, however, as there is a replacement bonus coming in to take some of the sting out for players who were fond of the no-deposit bonus. Cozy Games has introduced the Newbie Room, a new bingo room that is specifically for new players and allows those players to take part in various bingo games in their first week at any Cozy Games site. With 12 tickets for each of the games in the Newbie Room across that first week, players are essentially getting £3,000 of free bingo. Of course, nothing is simple with bingo bonuses, and there are terms and conditions. The money used for the bingo games is described as virtual money, as are any winnings, while a deposit into the account is also necessary for withdrawals, as is a 4x wagering requirement. Terms aside, however, the Newbie Room is a fair replacement for those who may be upset by the absence of no-deposit bonuses at Cozy Games sites going forward.
