Best no deposit bonuses

Most bonuses offered by online casinos – including those that do not require a real money deposit – come with certain rules that must be followed during bonus play, as well as limitations that apply to it. These are specified by the casino in the Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) that apply to bonuses.

So that you know what to expect, here are some of the most common T&Cs of no deposit casino bonuses:

• Wagering requirements (WR) – As mentioned above, in most cases you cannot withdraw your bonus funds before wagering a certain amount of money. This is known as wagering (or playthrough) requirements, which are usually specified as a multiple of the bonus you get. Once you wager the required amount, you can withdraw your bonus and any winnings you won from it.
• Maximum win – Also known as maximum cashout, this condition specifies how much you can win and withdraw from your bonus. Casinos use this limitation often, especially for no deposit bonus codes, to make sure that players do not win too much without risking any of their own money.
• Maximum bet – When playing with most casino bonuses, you will also have to adhere to the max bet rule. The maximum bet of most bonuses lies somewhere around the €/£/$5 mark. If you place a bet higher than that while playing with a bonus, the casino may refuse to pay out your winnings.
• Game restrictions – When playing with a no deposit bonus, you may also not be able to play your popular casino games. Some games may be completely restricted, which means you cannot play them with bonus funds. Also, casinos may choose to configure some games not to contribute towards the WR or only contribute a certain percentage of the wagered amount.
• Country restrictions – Casinos often offer bonuses only to players from selected countries. Alternatively, players from different countries may have access to a different set of promotional offers.
• Time limits – Many bonuses come with an expiration period, which means you must play with the bonus and meet the wagering requirements within a certain timeframe.
• One bonus per player – Most casino bonuses, and virtually all no deposit offers for new players, can be used only once. You can usually only create one account in a specific casino, and registration bonuses can only be used once. Casinos are very careful about this and will not pay out any player who breaches this rule.
• IP or household restrictions – Similarly, casinos often limit their offers to one bonus per household or IP address. If two people from the same household play at the same casino, only one of them may be eligible to claim a no deposit bonus. To add to that, many casinos do not allow multiple people from the same household to play altogether, so make sure to read the casino’s T&Cs if you plan to do that.
