Free Spins - How They Work and How to Claim Them
Free spins are a bonus that lets you spin the reels of a slot without spending your own money. This guide explains the types of free spins, how to claim them and what terms apply to them.
What are free spins
Free spins are a set number of spins on a specific slot that the casino grants for free. Each spin is played with the casino's funds, but the winnings are yours (usually subject to wagering). It is the most popular bonus type for slot fans.
Types of free spins
- No deposit FS - claimed just for registering, with no deposit
- Deposit FS - as part of a deposit bonus (for example 100 FS on the first deposit)
- In-game FS - the slot's own free spin rounds (earned in play)
- Spin value - each FS has a set value (for example €0.10 per spin)
Terms to watch
Free spins usually carry a wagering requirement on the winnings, an expiry (often 24-72 h) and sometimes a maximum win. It also matters which slot they work on - it is usually fixed. Always read the bonus terms.
How to use them wisely
Use free spins quickly - they have an expiry. If you can choose the slot, favour one with a high RTP. Note the spin value and wagering to understand the real potential. Remember that free spins are an opportunity, not a guarantee.
