What is a No Deposit Bonus?

A No Deposit Bonus is a promotion offering free cash or credits at an online casino. This type of bonus allows players to test out games and play without risk or requiring a deposit; however no deposit bonuses are subject to wagering requirements.

2. What are wagering requirements?

The wagering requirement is the playthrough amount that is required in order to qualify for a withdrawal of winnings. An example of a $20 no deposit bonus with a 30x playthrough in simple mathematical terms is 20 x 30 = $600. Whereby the player must wager $600 before qualifying for a withdrawal on winnings. You can contact support or live chat to check the wagering you have completed as you play your bonus, this will give you a good indication if you are close to a win or not.

3. How do I redeem a No Deposit Bonus?

A No Deposit Bonus may be claimed in one of three ways. A unique coupon code is entered at the online casino cashier or for a new player, during the registration process. Some online casinos require players to request the Free Bonus via live chat or email. Finally, a No Deposit Bonus may be automatically credited to the player’s account.

4. Which casino games count toward meeting wagering requirements?

Every online casino will specify which games are allowed. It is important to read the terms and conditions associated with the No Deposit Bonus outlining the rules. Note the qualifying games and the percentage toward meeting wagering requirements, slots (not including progressives) will always count 100% towards wagering and table games such as blackjack are usually at 2%. Players may opt to play non-qualifying games; however, wagers will not count toward playthrough. In some instances, games such as those featuring Progressive Jackpots or certain table games are strictly prohibited and may result in all winnings becoming null and void.

5. What are considered fair wagering requirements?

Wagering requirements on No Deposit Bonuses are generally deemed fair between 20 and 40 times. Any bonus subject to a wagering requirement of 50x or greater will be difficult to meet. For example, $50 x 50 = $2,500 playthrough.
