FREE SPINS

There is a lot of competition amongst online casinos to capture a gambling enthusiast’s attention, and the best way to do so is by offering a free or exclusive incentive. Most online casinos conventionally offer its players free spins and bonuses right from their very first deposit.

As part of a welcome offer or package, some casinos will offer a certain number of free spins which players can use on their slot games. A free spin is one spin of a reel where players do not have to pay to spin and anything that is won will go into the player’s bankroll (play money). Most free spins come with a condition: they have a wagering requirement attached to it where the money has to be played a certain number of times before it can be converted to real money and be withdrawn.

Nevertheless, free spins allow players to enjoy the thrill of slot games in its truest form. Players will learn how to play the game, how it pays and experience some decent wins, if they are lucky. And it is all for free!

WELCOME BONUS

Free spins are also awarded via promotions and as bonuses. They are automatically set to a maximum number of lines on each slot, for example, Starburst will be 10 paylines. The value of these spins will vary according to the promotions.

With every welcome offer at an online casino, it is guaranteed that players will receive a casino bonus. The most common offered welcome bonus is a match bonus which is used for the first few deposits. For example, if a player makes a deposit of £100 and the casino is offering a 100% match bonus, the player will end up with a total of £200 to play at the online casino.

An even better sign-up offer is a no-deposit bonus where a player will receive a certain amount of money (or spins) without needing to place a deposit in advance. This casino bonus effectively appeals to players and motivates them to try out the site’s games and become a member.

There is a whole range of casino bonuses available in every online casino, including, play only, free play and reload. Some casino bonuses are accompanied with a specific code that needs be applied to activate the promotion. Alike to free spins, these bonuses usually come with a wagering requirement where the bonus (and deposit) must be played a number of times i.e. 25x before any winnings can be withdrawn.

As explained, the difference between free spins is that players are offered free rounds on a game, whereas casino bonuses offer a sum of free money. The shared intention of these offerings is to retain the players interest in the online casino which is why they are available from the start of the sign-up process and on a regular basis.
