How Free Spins Attract New Players to Online Casino Platforms in 2023 – Expert Opinions

Free spins represent a prevalent type of bonus online casinos offer to reward their players. These allow spinning the reels on slots without wagering real money. CasinoExpert experts explain that free spins are among the most valuable promotions because they allow players to win money without taking any risks. Free spins can be activated as a welcome bonus or by accumulating loyalty points.
While it is established that free spins bonus offers are quite popular, this article will touch on some of the tricks behind how casinos use free spins to attract new players.
The Mentality Behind How Online Casino Sites Use Types of Free Spins to Attract New Players
Let’s take a deep dive into helping you understand some of the ways casinos exploit the vast types of free spins to attract new players.
Making the Offer Too Good to Be True
Casinos that offer free spins are generally aware of how easily swayed people can be when it comes to the attractiveness of a bonus offer. This explains why they ensure the free spins offers look too good to be true, so much so that people are flocking around it without bothering about the fine details.
These casinos also take time to highlight the highest possible free spins you can enjoy to make the offer more attractive, even though your initial deposit may be too small to get such as much value in terms of the number of spins
Giving you the Illusion you can Win More with Less
The major psychology revolving around free spins stems from portraying the illusion that casino players can get to win more money by playing their favourite games without risking much money. However, this is most times far from the truth.
Technically, the casinos protect themselves by imposing some terms and conditions that restrict how much you can win with the bonus and, in some cases, impose stringent wagering requirements that are hard to fulfil. Eventually, you are awakened by the fact that your winning potential is limited by the bonus, and at that point, you are already hooked enough to want to spend more playing slot machine games.
Why do Casinos Often Require a Deposit Before you can Claim the Free Spins Bonus?
It is always important to remember that the casinos are here for business purposes. As such, it is very unrealistic they would keep dishing out freebies without getting something sustainable in return.
By demanding that you make an initial deposit before using free spins, the casino has already got you committed. This way, they get to make some returns from you to cover up for those who may have exploited the casino bonus money for their gain.
By doing so, the casino is not just filled with users who are only interested in using free play without being committed in any way.
As always, as far as casinos are concerned, the house always wins, and the application of the free spins at casinos is a good representation of that fact.
What to Know Before Using Free Spins Offer at a Casino
Here are a few things to look out for before you claim or apply a free spin offer at a casino:
- Wagering requirement – The lower the number of times you are expected to roll over a bonus, the more feasible it is to redeem the bonus into real money. By standard, always look out for casino bonus offers with wagering requirement below 40x
- Validity Period – Always look out for free spins offers that are valid for as long as 30 days, as that gives you enough time to fulfil the terms
- Eligible Games – It is more advisable to opt for free spins offer whose wagering requirement is spread across a range of slot game options
- Withdrawal Limit – By standard, it is more favourable to look out for free spins offers whose maximum withdrawal limit is pegged at $100 and above.
Free Spins Can Be a Smoke Screen
With free spins, most times, it is the more you look, the less you see. This explains why you shouldn’t be too moved by the generosity of the bonus itself, as that could easily blind you from noticing the terms attached to it.
We recommend you approach free spins from a more enlightened perspective, and by following our checklist discussed above, you will be able to know the offers that are best for you.
