Free Cash Bonuses

• No deposit bonuses – No deposit bonuses are usually given upon registration and you do not have to make a deposit. Instead, you are credited an amount of money to play with and see if the casino’s game library is appealing enough to continue playing afterwards. The max bets are usually limited. When you use up your no deposit bonus, you will be able to place larger bets if you deposit your own funds.
• Cashback – Although nothing beats the no deposit bonus, the cashback bonuses are also worth your while. Some casinos such as Refuel and Crazy Fox offer between 10% and 25% cashback on all your losses. Basically, you win when you lose.

Yes, free cash bonuses come with wagering requirements and they are usually higher as compared to those of the match deposit bonuses. To release your bonus winnings, you need to play through your bonus or your winnings (or both) between 30 and 45 times.

Deposits via Skrill and Neteller, are usually not eligible for receiving a bonus. We have searched far and wide to find the root cause of this injustice, but the only answer we got was “These are the rules” and its variations. So, if you are playing at a casino that gives a cashback on your losses, double check the eligible payment methods. You can deposit via your VISA or MasterCard for complete peace of mind.

There are countries whose residents are allowed to engage in real-money casino games, but they cannot claim a bonus. If you are planning to open an account for the sake of getting a free cash bonus, check if your country is among the eligible ones.

Free cash winnings are usually capped at a certain amount. Let’s assume that the casino has set a €50 max cash out and you won €55 while using the free cash money. When you request a withdrawal, you will be paid €50. The remaining €5 will be removed from your account. No, the forfeited outstanding balance is not an indication that the casino is a scam one as long as the max withdrawal limit is clearly stated in the bonus policy.

Most casinos have a clause according to which if you request a withdrawal before you use up all your bonus money, the remaining balance will be forfeited.

The no deposit bonus is a gesture of goodwill, but casinos, no matter how affluent, cannot afford paying out hundreds of € won via a no deposit bonus. Let’s presume you play Baccarat and place a Banker bet. The house edge is only 1.06%, which means you have a huge chance of winning. In general, table games are considered games of skill, and that’s the reason why they have either 25% or 50% contribution to the wagering requirement.

Likewise, NetEnt’s Bloodsuckers slot has a 98% RTP. This means that in the long run, you should expect a €0.98p return for every €1 you deposit. Hence slots featuring a high RTP are often excluded from the games that contribute to meeting the wagering requirement. Slots that have a 100% contribution are med to high volatility ones.

Casinos do give free money in different forms:

• Cashback – you get a partial refund for your losses
• Free cash – you can place real money bets without risking your own bankroll
• Free spins – usually valid for certain slots only, played at a low max bet, have a winnings’ conversion cap

To release your bonus, you need to clear the wagering requirements. Make sure you are familiar with the bonus validity and the number of times you need to play through your winnings.

Keep in mind that the playthrough requirement for free money bonuses is a bit higher compared to the WR of the match deposit or cashback bonuses.

Free cash is self explanatory – you get some cash to place real money wagers and release what you win after clearing the wagering.

The no deposit bonus can be either free money or free spins. In both cases, it comes with a wagering requirement attached. If you come across a zero wager bonus, it means that you can cash out immediately. (as long as the amount won is higher than the minimum withdrawal set by the casino)

The no deposit bonuses are not as generous as the match deposit ones, but who would turn down free money, even a few €? If you want to play it safe, the no deposit bonus is the better option. However, you have slim chances of landing a life changing win. Match deposit bonuses carries an element of risk, but allow you to win big.

Currently, the casinos that give free cash for signing up are LocoJoker and Hotline casino.
