Free chip withdraw rules

Every time I get a free chip offer, it seems like the withdrawal rules are always changing or way more strict than with other bonuses. I tried to cash out on one last month and got nailed with a max cashout rule I didn’t even see in the fine print. Even after doing all the playthrough, the winnings were capped and they kept the rest.

Been wondering if anyone here has a method for tracking the weird requirements each site puts on free chips. I jot stuff down but sometimes miss a step, like whether table games count or only slots, or if certain bet sizes will void it. Honestly, feels like they make it tough on purpose so folks give up or just lose it back playing longer. Would love to know how others stay consistent so these freebies actually end up worth something.
