Bonus & offers: Free spins / bonuses for depositors

Hi there,
For 5 years now, I've rarely gambled for a week or so and then take a break for a good six months, so I'm not really an experienced gambler. Now my question is whether the bonus free spins when depositing are really worth it. I recently accepted an offer of 25 euros for 50 free spins, from which I got 4 euros. I then continued to gamble as normal and doubled the 25 euros. When I wanted to cash out, only 0.01 euros were available for withdrawal. I then read the conditions for the free spins, which stated that you have to wager 40 times the win (?). Does that even make sense, is it worth it? Assuming you make a win of 1000 euros+, do you have to wager 40000 euros? By then you have already lost everything, or am I misunderstanding something? Especially as I may not have fully understood this anyway. I'm also new to the forum, so if this thread is in the wrong place, please just move it (sorry ).

Welcome Tuber

Don't worry about the thematic classification of your topic for now It may not be one hundred percent correct and could possibly be moved here https://www.gamblejoe.com/forum/online-casinos/allgemeines/ in the course of the night or tomorrow, but that doesn't affect readability for now and comments can of course be made until then.

It all depends on the offer and the respective conditions, I like to use the cash spins on sunmaker, currently there is the offer to Deposit €50 and receive 20 cash spins on €1, and with this offer the win is directly real money, so nothing to do with wagering 40 times.


Disadvantage lower RTP but advantage direct real money and no max cashout.

Welcome to the forum

You are right about the wagering requirements. It always sounds tempting at first glance, probably especially for newcomers who don't skim over the conditions directly, and often ensures that money is already burned with the depositor, especially in the DE casinos with their puny RTP values, I find such Wagering requirements simply unspeakable. I usually play raw, so completely without Bonuses, but what I occasionally get are offers such as Deposit 20 and receive 40, i.e. 100% bonuses that are separate from the depositor. In other words, you first play with your 20 euros as real money credit and as long as you have not used it up, you can withdraw all the wins you have made with the depositor at any time, provided you have not yet touched the bonus balance. And once the 20 euros have been used up, you at least have a second chance with the 20 euro bonus with the corresponding wagering requirements.

I usually only use free spins that are available on a depositor when my balance has been used up because I'm always afraid that my deposited balance will turn completely into Bonus money with the corresponding wagering requirements by playing and then mixing Fs wins with real money balances. 😁 I don't know 100% whether this is the case everywhere or not, but I prefer to be careful and use the Fs more as a second chance if my depositor goes down the drain. I'm just a bit more cautious and prefer to read the conditions twice before depositing as I've already read quite a few stories here. 🙈

The most important thing to do before you start playing with a bonus is to read all the terms and conditions before you claim it. Once you have completed the free spins or the Bonus money has been used, it's too late and you can't get out of it If high Wagering requirements are a thorn in your side, as can be seen from your example and which is also understandable, I would recommend that you look for wager-free bonuses. Also known as "wagerfree". For my taste, this type of bonus gives you the best chance of cashing out without falling into the eternal wagering mill, which unfortunately often strikes mercilessly at some point with X40 & Co. However, the payout amount is also capped with these offers. As a rule, you can only win five times the amount you deposited, which is not too bad for a depositor of €100 (sometimes €200 is also possible...depending on the offer)
