Bonuses & Promotions

Free Spins (Promotional)

Promotional free spins are not the same as the free spins feature inside a slot. These are bonus spins given to you by a casino as part of a welcome package, reload bonus, or weekly promotion. They're played at a fixed bet size (usually $0.10 to $0.25 per spin) on a specific slot chosen by the casino.

Any winnings from promotional free spins are typically credited as bonus money with wagering requirements attached. Win $20 from your 50 free spins? That $20 now needs to be wagered 30x to 50x before you can withdraw any of it. Some casinos also cap how much you can cash out from free spin winnings.

Free spins with no wagering requirement do exist, but they're rare and the casinos that offer them usually compensate with stricter maximum win caps per spin. "No wagering free spins" has become a marketing term, so always check whether there's a maximum win or cashout limit hiding in the terms.
