What is a no deposit bonus?

A no deposit bonus is a casino offer that gives you a small amount of bonus money or a few free spins for registering, without asking you to deposit first. They are usually small, carry high wagering requirements and cap how much you can withdraw from them.

Key facts

  • Typical forms: a few pounds or euros of bonus money, or 10 to 50 free spins.
  • Wagering requirements are often higher than on deposit bonuses.
  • A maximum cashout (for example £50 or €100) usually applies.
  • Most casinos ask you to verify your identity before paying out.
  • Usually one per person, household and IP address.

Are no deposit bonuses worth it?

They are a way to try a casino without risking your own money, but they are rarely a way to make money: the combination of small value, high wagering and a cashout cap means most end at zero. Treat one as a free look at the casino, and read the terms before you play.

Frequently asked questions

Can you withdraw a no deposit bonus?
Not the bonus itself. You can withdraw winnings from it once you meet the wagering requirement, up to any maximum cashout in the terms.
Why do casinos give no deposit bonuses?
To get new players to try the casino. The terms are set so the bonus costs the casino little on average.
Do no deposit bonuses need a code?
Some do, some are applied automatically through a sign-up link. The offer page says which.
