What Is a No-Deposit Bonus?

A no-deposit bonus gives you something to play with — free spins or bonus funds — without having to deposit any money first. It's the casino industry's main "try before you buy" offer. Here's how it works.

How you get it

You register an account and the bonus is credited without a deposit. Some offers ask you to register a card for age and identity verification, but a genuine no-deposit offer never charges you to claim it.

The conditions

Because the casino funds it, the terms are usually stricter than deposit offers. Expect wagering requirements on any winnings, a maximum win or withdrawal cap (often £50–£100), specific eligible games, and an expiry date.

What to check

Before claiming, look at the wagering multiple, the win cap, eligible games and expiry — those four decide whether it's genuinely worth it. See free spins no deposit, wagering requirements and how welcome bonuses work.
