How to Manage Your Free Spin Bonus

Leamington Editorial 14th Nov, 2024   0

If you enjoy playing online fruit machines as much as I do, you may also agree that the best online casino promotional offer is the free spins bonus.

This lucrative gift can be part of the initial sign-up offer, which is also known as a welcome bonus, and it can be claimed when you join a new site for the first time. Alternatively, free spins bonuses can be part of a one-off promotional offer or perhaps part of an ongoing loyalty rewards program or daily login bonus.

If you are considering claiming a free spins bonus and want to know how to get the most out of it, you’re in luck. Here’s how you can manage your free spins bonus and maximise your winnings.

Top tips for maximising your free spins bonus

A free spins bonus is a promotional offer commonly found on today’s safest and most secure iGaming sites. They are a marketing strategy used by operators to attract new customers like me, but, more importantly, they are used to retain their existing members and keep them from playing elsewhere.




Over the years, I’ve claimed more free spins bonuses than I can remember, and during that time, I’ve learned how to get the most out of them. In my opinion, they are always worth claiming because you have nothing to lose.

Some free spins bonuses that I’ve claimed haven’t required a deposit to unlock them, whereas others require a deposit to unlock them. With that said, I would only recommend spending money you can afford to lose when claiming free spins bonuses.


Here are a few tips that can help you get the most out of any free spins bonuses that you decide to claim:

  • Only claim free spins bonuses from legally permitted websites that are controlled by reputable operators and fully licensed by at least one mid to top-tier licensing authority.
  • Free spins bonuses are optional, so remember to click/tap the correct button (accept or decline) when they are offered to you. If you make a mistake, you can’t go back and claim that offer because it will have already expired.
  • ALWAYS take a minute to read through the terms and conditions because they will explain in detail what you must do to get the most out of your bonus.
  • If you can afford it, deposit the maximum amount allowed for that bonus to maximise how many free spins you receive.
  • Don’t forget to take part in the daily login bonus because, from my experience, they usually award free spins.
  • Look for free spins bonuses with low to medium wagering requirements attached (20x to 50x times the bonus amount) and avoid claiming them with 60x, 70x or higher wagering requirements.
  • Focus on one free spins bonus at a time because juggling too many can often get confusing.
  • Complete your wagering requirements within the time stated, or you will lose your bonus winnings.
  • Don’t spend more than the maximum bet allowed per spin when completing your wagering requirements because it will NOT contribute anything towards completing them.
  • Stick to playing the selected online fruitys that are included in the free spins promotion, especially when completing your wagering requirements, because they will contribute 100 per cent per $/€/£1.00 wagered and will help you clear them in no time.
  • Avoid playing fruitys that don’t contribute anything towards completing them.
  • Before depositing to claim a free spins bonus, find out if any online payment methods are excluded from the promotion. You don’t want to deposit and not receive your bonus because of the payment method you used. Also, remember to select your preferred fiat currency or cryptocurrency when playing online fruitys (preferably your own local currency).

Where can I find today’s best free spins bonuses?

I’m based in the United Kingdom, so whenever I’m looking for a free spins bonus that might be worth claiming, I always go to the official John Slots UK website. They have a frequently updated list of reviews for the industry’s safest sites with the best free spins and other game bonuses.

To claim any of the bonuses you find on this site that only ever promotes the highest-rated traditional British brands, you must be at least 18 years old. The free spins can usually be unlocked after your new account has been activated.

All you need to do is make your first real money deposit to claim the initial free spins welcome bonus.

Final thoughts

Most of the bonuses found on this site are generous and relatively straightforward, but I strongly advise you to read through the terms and conditions when claiming them. Many players often fail to read the Ts and Cs, which can lead to disappointment.

I’ve found that they usually only take a minute or so to read and explain everything you need to know about how you can get the most out of your bonus. Finally, remember to gamble responsibly and don’t get carried away.

Perhaps consider setting a reasonable spending budget before claiming any bonuses, and then, to ensure you don’t overspend, use one or more of your casino’s safer gambling tools.
