Free spins explained

Free spins are one of the most common casino promotions. They let you spin a slot machine without using your own money — but the conditions vary widely.

What are free spins?

Free spins are complimentary spins on a designated slot game. Each spin has a set value — typically NZD 0.10 to NZD 0.20. If you receive 50 free spins at NZD 0.10 each, the total value is NZD 5.

How winnings are paid

Winnings from free spins are usually credited as bonus funds, not real cash. You must meet the wagering requirement on those bonus funds before you can withdraw. Some casinos pay free spin winnings as real cash with no wagering — these are significantly more valuable.

Game restrictions

Free spins are always tied to a specific slot or a small selection of slots. You cannot use them on any game you choose. Check which game is specified — if it is a low-RTP slot, the expected value of the spins is lower.

Expiry

Free spins expire quickly — often within 24 to 72 hours of being credited. If you do not use them in time, they are forfeited along with any winnings. Check the expiry date as soon as spins are credited to your account.

No deposit free spins

Some casinos offer free spins with no deposit required. These are subject to the same conditions as no deposit bonuses — high wagering requirements and low withdrawal caps. They are useful for trying a game at no cost.
