I used way too many words the first time I wrote this. I used less this time. Still too many.
Disclaimer: I’m not an expert in anything, or particularly intelligent. I know neither anything nor nothing for certain.
1)A service many sites use as a method of user account and credential management, as well as identity and residence verification (KYC).
2) These sites have no affiliate or refer a friend programs.
3) The best part – You only have to sign up and verify your identity with Inclave once. You can use that Inclave account to create accounts with too many sites. Creating an account for a new casino site, logging in, and KYC verification reduced to one click. I have 25 different Inclave casino accounts.
Why is this cool?
Because each of those sites is potentially a $50-$100 fruit hanging from this Inclave money tree. Look.
- About 90% of these sites have no-deposit bonuses. (that I know of)
- SWIM did a little Coupon Code experimentation into these sites. Many codes that are valid for one site are valid for others, even though they aren’t circulated for those other sites. “FREE20”, “FREE25”, “FREE15”, “FREE50”, etc… are fairly common.
- SWIM has hit bonuses just guessing. For example, on Wild Vegas SWIM might enter “WILD50”, and hit a $50 free play bonus. (SWIM did exactly that with one of the other sites)
- Before you get all crazy spamming codes into the boxes, some of the sites don’t like it when you try entering 10-20 codes that don’t exist. I’m not sure if they do anything besides sending emails telling you that you’re entering bs into their coupon box. Also there are a number of very specific conditions that must be met before you can cash those mfs out. One of which is universal for every site (as far as I know): You can not redeem winnings from a coupon code if it is the second no-deposit bonus you have used on the site, without making a deposit in between.
Our example is Captain Jack Casino, on this site I both triumphed, and blundered. My first encounter was a promotional email. From captain jack casino, even though I had never been to the site before. Likely another casino sold them my info. Unsolicited spam, not the most promising start.
Everyone loves free spins. I went for it, despite my initial reaction to the email. Spins were spun, I won $30. This is when I become aware of the gauntlet of requirements that must be met before redemption is possible. They are different for each specific casino, some of the more common requirements:
- Minimum Playthrough Requirement – the amount you need to wager before your money can be withdrawn.
- Minimum withdrawable balance, and maximum withdrawable balance. In this case they have the same value.
30 x 15 = 450 By the time I had played $450 worth of spins, my balance was $342.27 Once the playthrough is done, they automatically deduct any excess of the maximum withdrawal limit from your balance. As soon as that 450 had been wagered, they wacked my balance down to 100 exactly. If I wasn’t paying attention and perhaps pressed the spin button one more time, my balance would have fallen below the minimum withdrawal limit, which was also $100. Be careful, monitor your remaining playthrough. See the notes
My “wallet verification deposit” or whatever they called it. ->
the excess balance being removed once my playthrough requirement had been met. ->

Okay so there is one more curveball that was kind of frustrating, and almost deterred me from collecting my winnings. These sites each require a $10 cryptocurrency deposit to “verify your crypto wallet”. Which is a bucket of horse sweat, I was thinking the entire thing was a scam. I googled the site and while the reviews complained about the withdrawal taking a long time to process, I didn’t see anyone saying they had been scammed, or hadn’t received their money.
I was newish to crypto, unaccustomed to its ways. Coinbase is rude with fees. They will deduct the fee from whatever amount you’re specifying to send or buy. I needed to deposit $10 crypto, so I bought $10 LTC. When I did that, coinbase took a $0.99 bite, leaving $9.01 LTC. so I made another purchase, and they got another $0.99 bite. The second time I paid $2 for $1.01 LTC. But wait, it gets more comical… They also take $0.99 bites when you send crypto! I find myself making another LTC purchase, $3 this time in case there is a fee for paying too many fees.
So I ended up sending $11 LTC.
The withdrawal time was less than reviews suggested. 5 days later, I had $99 in LTC. And of course flaming Captain Jack just went ahead and decided to pay their transaction fee with MY winnings…
Okay so that was my triumph story (I guess). The next story is one of ignorant mistakes as a result of failure to thoroughly read and understand the terms of service. Not my failure, someone else should have read that mf and warned me. (I still have not)
After I cashed in that LTC, I was feeling pretty good. And captain jack casino continued sending emails with bonus codes, free spins, free chips. So I redeemed one for a free $25 chip.
I won, met playthrough +$159. I request another “Coindraw Withdrawal”.
What happened next is confusing…
No idea what all that is about.. But they cancelled my withdrawal because it’s in their terms of service that if you redeem money from a no-deposit bonus, you need to make a deposit before you can cash out winnings from a second no-deposit bonus.
The $11 LTC verification deposit doesn’t count as a deposit, technically that verification deposit had to happen before I could receive my payout from the first bonus. meaning it doesn’t count as being in between the two bonus withdrawals.
I have successfully withdrawn winnings of 8 no-deposit bonuses from 8 Inclave sites. I could have withdrawn more but I was stupid and degened a few away.
