What Are Free Spins?

Free spins are rounds on a slot machine that the casino pays for. Each spin has a fixed value – usually £0.10 or £0.20 – and is played on one or more selected slots. Anything you win is added to your balance, either as bonus money that must be wagered or, with wager-free spins, as real cash you can withdraw straight away.

Types of Free Spins Bonuses

What Are Free Spins Really Worth?

The number of spins tells you little on its own. To compare offers, multiply the number of spins by the value of each spin, then consider the wagering:

OfferSpin valueTotal valueWagering on winnings
200 free spins£0.10£2035x
50 free spins£0.20£1010x
20 free spins£0.50£10None

In this example, the 20 wager-free spins are likely the best deal: everything you win is yours to keep, while the 200 spins require you to bet your winnings 35 times. On a slot with 96% RTP, £20 of spins returns about £19.20 in winnings on average – before wagering.

Free Spins Terms to Check

  • Eligible slots – free spins are usually locked to one game or a short list.
  • Spin value – the stake per spin is fixed and cannot be changed.
  • Wagering on winnings – how many times you must bet your free spins winnings. UK casinos may not exceed 10x.
  • Maximum winnings – a cap on what you can withdraw from the spins.
  • Expiry – spins often expire within 24 hours to 7 days of being credited, and wagering has its own time limit.
  • Daily drops – large packages are often released in batches, for example 20 spins a day for 10 days, and unused spins are lost.

How to Claim Free Spins

  1. Choose a free spins offer from the list above.
  2. Register at the casino with your real details and verify your account.
  3. Enter the bonus code or opt in, and make a deposit if the offer requires one.
  4. Open the eligible slot – your spins usually load automatically.
  5. Play your spins, complete any wagering and withdraw your winnings.

Best Slots for Free Spins

Casinos choose the slot for most free spins offers, and they tend to pick popular games with medium volatility and a solid RTP, such as classic book-style slots, fruit slots and well-known titles from NetEnt, Play'n GO and Pragmatic Play. When you can choose, a slot with 96% RTP or higher and frequent small wins gives you the best chance of finishing with a balance. Check our slot reviews for RTP and volatility, or learn how slot features work in our free spins feature guide.

Free Spins at UK Casinos

UK-licensed casinos follow some of the strictest bonus rules in the world. Wagering on free spins winnings cannot exceed 10x, many offers are completely wager-free, and you must pass age and identity checks before you can use any spins. Online slots in the UK also have stake limits – £5 per spin, or £2 for players aged 18–24 – and no autoplay, which affects how you play through any winnings. See the best UK casinos for current free spins deals.
