I wanted to share my recent experience at Cocoa Casino in which I won $100 without risking a dime.

Last week, I took advantage of the $10 free promotion. After the easy download, installation, and registration I explored some of their slot machines (the $10 free is good only at the slots). I found one that I really liked called Hole in One. This is an i-Slot machine in which the bonus round is a hole of putt-putt golf. The fewer strokes it takes you to hole the ball, the better your payout! And making the ball in the hole takes some skill, as you are in control of the direction and speed of the ball. It really is a lot of fun.

There are nine holes of golf that are offered, so the 10th bonus that you reach is the 1st hole of golf, and so on. What this means is that you can get better at each hole as you play the hole again and again during your bonus rounds, thereby increasing your chance at a bigger bonus payout — assuming that you paid attention the previous times that you played and learned from your experience!

Now, here is the catch with the $10 free at Cocoa Casino… you can only win EXACTLY 10x the bonus, or $100 in this case, after playing at least 20x the bonus on the slot machines. What this means is that you should keep track of your wagers, and if after making $200 in wagers, your balance is $100 or more, then STOP because you have WON. I was luck enough to win $30 on my last spin at Hole in One, and that took me over the $100 mark.

I went into the Cashier, and saw that I was required to make a $20 (or more) deposit as part of the verification process. Using my QuickTender account, I made the deposit, and then immediately requested a cashout for $120. Within minutes, I received an email asking for additional information that is standard the first time that you cashout at an online casino. I completed the form that they sent to me, scanned it, and emailed it back to them along with a scan of my driver license and a utility bill. (Note: This is why it is important to provide your correct personal details when you register at any online gambling site — if you win, your name and address that you registered with must match that of the documentation that you send to them!).

The next day, I got an email that my documentation was in order, and that my cashout was in process. Two days later, $120 appeared in my QuickTender account!

I have played at A LOT of online casinos, and this was one of the smoothest transactions I have ever experienced. Sure, there are several steps that you need to go through in order to get your cashout, but what sets the Cocoa Casino cashout process apart from others is that they communicated with me via email at every step of the way, so I always knew what was going on.

There is no question that I will be playing again at Cocoa Casino.

P.S. If you take advantage of the $10 FREE at Cocoa Casino and don’t win, you can try the free offers at Paradise 8 and This is Vegas.
