If they're not providing you with any value, then don't give them your email address.

If it's just a Regex check then you can just use [email protected]. If it requires you to click on a verification link in the email then that is quite a high bar for you to go through to obtain something of `no value`.

Most places aren't using a regex only unless someone high up is trying to covertly respect user privacy.

If it's a walled garden, which more are becoming because it's the path to VC money, you have no way to know until you're inside.

Most organizations who do this crap also require you click a link in the email to activate the account.
