Free Hour Casino Bonuses
Free Hour casino bonus is a casino sign-up bonus type offered by some Microgaming casinos. The idea of the bonus is that after a player registers to a casino, he gets some amount of play money to wager at casino for one hour (sometimes time limit is something else, but usually it is an hour). If player is successful and manages to make winnings with this given play money, he can transfer winnings (up to a certain limit) to a real bonus balance after making his initial real money deposit to the casino. This part of the bonus is only playable at flash version of the casino, which is a bit inconvinient.
If player manages to win and this way transfer winnings to his bonus balance, the bonus can be considered and played just as a MG EZ Bonus. If player is unsuccessful and busts his play money balance, he is still eligible for standard match promotion of the casino. See T&C´s for more details. Standard bonuses work as regular MG EZ Bonuses.

Strategy
Note that there are wagering requirements for the free hour play money part, so that you can´t just for example double up and immediately try to transfer the play money winnings to real bonus balance. Obvious strategy is to make big bets with play money in the beginning and then grind the attached WR if big bet is successful. Sometimes bet sizes are very limited with the big bets. You can however make several bets in roulette for the same spin as shown in the picture below.

If you happen to be able to keep the maximum bonus from play money play this way, deposit the minimum required and play the real money part of the bonus with traditional MG EZ Bonus strategy aggressively.
Group Limitations
There are usually limitations on how many sign-up bonuses you can claim within the group without non-bonus play in between:
