How does a free spins bonus work?

Playing at an online casino has a lot of perks. And one of the big ones is that they have a range of different bonuses available for players to claim. There are a whole array of different types of bonuses available to players, but one of the most popular is free spins which are usually combined with a deposit bonus and ideally with a no deposit bonus. 

So, what exactly are free spins, how do they work and how can you claim them? Read on to find out more.

Free spins are spins awarded to you that you can use on slot games on a casino site. These free spins are usually attached to a very specific slot or slots, so you must use them on that game. 

For the most part, these free spins will be played at the lowest wager possible per spin on that game. Usually, this is around just 10 cents per spin. However, some free spins will be awarded that are worth more, but the casino will advertise this fact.

Currently, the amount of free spins offers in the US is limited but there are a few nice sign-up bonuses such as:

There are actually a number of different types of free spins available to players. For instance, there are no-deposit free spins bonuses. As the name suggests, you don't need to make a deposit to claim these. 

Usually, all you need to do is sign up with a new account at the online casino and the free spins will be added automatically to your account. However, the number will be relatively small, often around 10.

For larger numbers of free spins, you need to keep an eye out for deposit-free spins. These often come in conjunction with a match deposit bonus. These have slightly more risk though, as you will be required to make a minimum deposit in order to claim them. 

However, you will be able to claim vastly more free spins in such an offer. Frequently, these free spin offers will award you with hundreds of spins often spread out over several days.

To claim these free spins, all you need to do is sign up to the casino offering them. You must be new to the casino though and can't have an account with them already. 

During the sign-up process, you will be required to provide your full name, date of birth, last four numbers of your SSN, as well as a physical address and email. Finally, you will need to verify your account.

During the sign-up process, there are a number of different ways you may be required to opt into the free spins bonus. These include:

• Automatic — the free spins will be awarded to your account as soon as your account is verified.
• Check a box — opt-in during the sign-up process.
• Promo code — a prompt will be given to input the code that will get the free spins added to your account.

Free spins are a great way to try out a new casino and a specific slot game. They're easy to claim and use too. Better still, if you win you can withdraw your winnings, as long as you have met any wagering requirements of course!
