Gambling: 100k Win From No Deposit Bonus

Surrey based self-employed carpenter Kevin Packer (28) is celebrating this week after scooping a GBP 100 000 win without risking a penny, thanks to a no deposit bonus from William Hill Casino.com.

Packer earned the windfall last week after seeing an advert for the GBP30 no deposit bonus, enabling him to sign up and play some of his favourite online casino and slot games without the necessity of laying down any of his own money.

It was Packer's day - he was GBP 500 up within 30 minutesm giving him the financial firepower to stake GBP50 on one spin of the online casino’s exclusive Millionaire’s Club progressive game. His luck held and he walked away with a GBP100 000 jackpot.

“I couldn’t believe it, actually,” said Packer. “I saw the five reels drop in and I just stood for a minute and gawped at the screen. I still can’t believe it now but it’s changed my luck and I have no idea how I’m going to spend it.'

“This is a high-rollers slot game and it’s unique to our casino,” said a spokesperson for William Hil lCasino.com. “The odds of getting the five top reels to land in a line are 10 000 to 1 and Kevin was playing for ten pounds a line, so he won a handy GBP100 000. It’s one of the quickest jackpot winners in online history. From zero to one hundred grand hero in under three hours.”
