No Wager Casinos

Yes. That’s the idea behind the no wager casinos. All wins you score during a game, become cashable when you use up all opportunities included in the no wager offer. Keep in mind that some casinos impose a small fee on withdrawals, but other than that, you do not have to spend a penny trying to release the bonus money.

A wagering requirement is a multiplier, usually in the range between 30-45, that stands for the number of times you need to play through a bonus to release the bonus funds.

Let’s assume you claim a 100% match deposit bonus that comes with a 30x wagering requirement. You deposit £10, and since it is a 100% match deposit bonus, the casino grants you £10. Therefore, you have £20 to play with. So far so good. However, you should not ignore the T&C page. Before you claim the bonus, you should figure out the following:

• Some casinos T&C’ state that you are supposed to play through both your deposit and bonus 30 times. If we stick to the above example and assume that you have a total of £20 to play with and a 30x rollover requirement to clear, that makes 20×30=500. In other words, to release the £10 bonus the casino credited to you, you need to play through £500.
• In the other case, casinos require you to play through the bonus amount only. Once again, we assume that you are given a £10 match deposit bonus, and you have to meet a 30x wagering requirement. To release the £10, you need to play through £10x30x =£300.

Wait. There is more. Not all casino games contribute equally to meeting the wagering requirement. Low volatility slots and video poker games are usually excluded. The table games have around 50% contribution. So, if you decide to play table games, you will have to play through twice as much money to clear the wagering requirement.

None of the above explanations is valid for the wager free casinos, though. You neither have to meet wagering requirements nor estimate contribution percentages. Your winnings are automatically transferred into your withdrawable cash balance and you can keep them to the last penny.

Actually, it is quite reasonable, but anything more than 40x is a bit on the high side. Namely, the wagering requirement is one of the factors that helps you identify the rogue casinos. They offer several seemingly lucrative £2000 bonuses and attach a 99x wagering requirement or worse, they do not allow you to withdraw your winnings unless the amount you end up with is higher than the amount you deposited.

There ain’t such a thing as a free lunch. Likewise, no wager casinos are not exactly free. You can claim the no wager bonus after making a deposit. The terms may vary but in general, every £1 you deposit takes you one step closer to claiming the max bonus amount and you can keep all your winnings afterward.

The no deposit spins, on the other hand, are usually granted upon sign-up, and you do not need to make a deposit. However, when you use up the spins included in the no deposit offer, you will have to meet a wagering requirement. We consider it relevant to mention that the wagering requirements of the no deposit bonuses may be higher than the standard 30x-40x.

Well, the short answer is no. Don’t expect to become filthy rich after claiming a wager free bonus. The bet size is fixed and the max bet is usually not too large. The withdrawable amount might also be limited. But hey, regardless of the amount, this is free money. We haven’t met a casino player who would turn down free money, be it £5, £10 or £50. Whatever you manage to squeeze from the no wager games, is yours.

There is no difference. These are interchangeable terms used to indicate how many times one needs to play through their bonus or deposit + bonus, to release pending funds.
