How do the no deposit sign up bonuses work in online casinos?

You have to "play through" the bonus before you can withdraw. Usually 3x but It's different for every site. Ex: if they give you $100 bonus you'd have to make the equivalent of $300 in bets playing table games like roulette or BJ, and if you play poker you'd have to generate $300 worth of rake for them before you can cash out

>There has to be a catch?

There is one. It's rigged and they do this to draw you in.

Does that mean if you're good at poker you can get free money?
I've heard most of the people who play low-stakes online poker are terrible at the game.

Blackjack has better strategy. Bet low amounts every single time and use basic strategy and you could be making a couple hundred a day. Don't fall for gamblers fallacy and every once in a blue moon you can bet a big hand, just don't correlate it with winning or losing streaks and you'll be fine. Counting cards is possible but not always worth the trouble. You'll realize basic strat doesn't always work but don't lose faith in it because it relies on statistics. If they're offering free money then do the necessary research and try it out, why not.

conspiracy bullshit

there are people who have been playing on stars for over a decade making a consistent decent living.

its variance, you can look at a variance calculator and see that for ever 100k hands or so youre bound to drop around 20buy ins in a row at one point, and some of those will happen to a one outer or a suck out, shit happens.

Yeah obviously there is variance like that. But you think the regulators are sophisticated enough to pick that code apart, piece by piece? Fuck no.
