Free Spins No Deposit

Don’t you hate it when you play a demo version of a new slot machine, ‘win’ a fortune but remember that none of it is real and can’t be withdrawn?

Free spins allow you to play for real and keep any money you win, only limited by a site’s wagering requirements, terms and conditions, and withdrawal limits.

However, you will almost certainly be required to deposit at some point in order to claim your cash. This deposit is usually needed to activate the spins in the first place, but could also be necessary after they’ve been spun.

It is very rare to find free spins bonuses as part of no deposit deals that allow you to keep your winnings.

50, 100 & 200 free spins

When it comes to most bingo deals, being given more of something can be a double-edged sword. While 100 free spins might seem better than 50, they may come with much more restrictive conditions making the smaller offer actually better value.

For example, an offer of 100 free spins with a wagering requirement of 80 times and a maximum total win of £10, is worse than 50 free spins with wagering of 40 times and a maximum win of £20.

Always check the terms and conditions of any offer you claim.

No deposit slots vs Free spins with no deposit required

There isn’t a huge difference between free no deposit slots and a free spins offer, with a couple of small exceptions.

1. No deposit slot bonuses can often be used across a variety of different game titles and do not require a deposit to claim, but do upon withdrawal.
2. Free spins bonuses can usually only be used on one or two games and require a deposit prior to receiving the spins.

What are No Deposit Free Spins?

There are a few ways to get spins from no deposit online casinos, with slightly different approaches. Even within these different methods, there will also be different in-house rules and terms, so it’s worth having some understanding of what’s on offer before browsing a site.

Free spin no deposit offers are based on the idea that the player doesn’t need to spend any money to get the offer. The site will require something in exchange for these - they might want you to register a card (not costing you anything, but putting you a step closer to sticking around) or register a mobile number (so they can send marketing information later).

Free spin welcome bonuses are when a casino gives some bonus spins in addition to, or as part of, a reward for making a deposit. This will obviously cost the player more, but require less in terms of wagering, because the offer is more balanced. The player may get a cash match too, such as £10 bonus credit and 50 free spins.

Regular spin promotions can be found on several casino sites. These work much like a welcome bonus, but instead of being on the first deposit only, they happen once a week or each weekend, or as one-off events. It’s always worth checking the promotions area of a site, as some offer spins in exchange for a deposit every week or even several times a week.

How to win with free spins

When slot players are hunting down new casino sites, the biggest attractions tend to be free spins offers and no deposit bonuses. These offers, often hand-in-hand, are perfect for having some quick, cheap fun on the slots.

The trick to taking advantage of these offers is knowing how they work, from what the actual offers give you, to what the terms mean for you. There are always some limitations to free spin offers, but they will always let you get a good preview of the site, if nothing else. It’s also worth being familiar with the kinds of games that free spins are offered for, which tend to be fairly universal between casinos.

No deposit free spins from new slot sites are ideal for players, as they don’t require the player to spend any money, while allowing you to try out a brand new site. Getting something for nothing is difficult, as you’d imagine, but it’s a great way to get an introduction to a new site and won’t stop you also claiming a cash match bonus later on.

Keeping your winnings

The amount that you can keep varies and it may prove difficult, but any winnings will be yours to use. Free spins sometimes use real credit and it’s possible to walk away with a cash withdrawal after using them, getting money for nothing!

No deposit spins will typically have a high wagering requirement, as a trade-off for the risk the casino takes in giving away the equivalent of free credit. When looking at any offer, watch out for mention of requirements, which will often be listed as ‘30x’ or ‘x40’.

A bonus with a wagering requirement means that any money won from the bonus needs to be wagered again, depending on the site's requirements. No deposit offers may ask for much more. So, if you won £10 from your free spins, you need to wager those winnings again to make them withdrawable. With a little luck, this is actually easier than it sounds - with each small win you get on the reels, your balance is always creeping up and down, counting off the requirement as it goes.

However, free spin offers may also have a hard limit on how much you can take away. This is often describes as ‘conversion’, for example ‘total possible conversion is £20’. In other words, no matter how much you win, only so much can be turned into real, withdrawable cash.

The number of spins you can claim will often be a big decider on what limitations the casino uses. A smaller offer won’t ask too much of you, but a larger bonus (with 100+ spins) will almost certainly be more restrictive. On the plus side, larger bonuses will keep you busy for a while!

Finding and using free spins

A good place to start is with our listings on this page! Here, you can browse all sites that offer free spins of various amounts, plus you can narrow down the search to new sites, no deposit offers and to sites that got the best reviews.

When arriving at a site, look for the promotions area or any up-front advertising for welcome bonuses. Bonuses are rarely hard to find, as sites want them to be seen. The first step will often be the registration process, making an account at the site and filling in your details. If there are spins to claim, it will be mentioned now.

Sometimes it isn’t obvious that you’ve had your spins, as they will only show on the actual game. You need to load the slot that the free spins were awarded to, then you’ll see them. Many games even have a pop-up to inform you that you’re playing on free credit. The site’s offer will usually state that spins are for one specific game, or a group from a certain slot provider.

Slots with free spin bonuses

Free spins can be awarded for various slot games, depending on the casino and their promotional setup. If a site has in-house slots then it’s easy for them to arrange this. One of the most common slot providers for free spins is NetEnt, with many sites offering spins for Starburst in particular. This is because Starburst is a very good introduction to five-reel slot gaming.

Alternatively, newly launched slots can come with spin-related offers. When a developer has a brand-new game to push, it’s a very natural thing to arrange these promotions with casino sites. The casino site benefits too, as the release of a new game is something of an event that attracts new players. When a big release happens, it’s worth checking around for new offers.

The free spins from a special offer will work just the same in your slot game as normal spins, but at a set stake level. These spins can still trigger all the usual features on the reel. For example, they could award extra spins, or trigger bonus rounds (a great way to get a big cash boost and then beat the wagering requirement).
