free spins with a max cashout are kinda pointless

I got offered a batch of free spins last week, only to read the fine print and see there’s a max cashout limit way lower than what you could actually win if you hit something big. Like, what’s the point of going for a jackpot or even any halfway decent win if you’ll get capped anyway? I get they’re supposed to be a promo, but if the ceiling is always just a tiny payout, it kind of kills the whole reason for even using the spins.

It feels more like marketing fluff than an actual bonus. Do most of you even bother with these types of free spins, or is it better to just skip and look for promos without the harsh max cashout rules?
