Free spins / free spins at the casino
Norwegian players, yes players in general, like to enjoy some free spins in their favorite casino, and that is perhaps not so strange. It is free entertainment that can actually mean that you win a few kroner!
These coveted free spins shine against us from pretty much every casino out there, and in this article you will get a closer look at what such rounds are all about.
Below you will also find an updated list of casinos that offer free spins in their welcome offers, and if you see something that seems tempting there, it is simply a matter of getting started!
What are free spins?
Free spins, or free spins, are a common type of bonus or bonus feature in an online casino or in a slot machine. A free spin allows the player to spin the reels without having to spend money on it. It is usually said that there are three types of free spins: (1st) free spins you get as part of a welcome bonus, (2nd) free spins you get as a bonus feature in a slot machine and (3rd) free spins you get as a promotion.
1. Free spins as part of a welcome offer:
In this case, free spins are awarded on a pre-designated slot machine with a predefined value on each spin. You get such free spins when you register a gaming account and / or deposit money.
2. Free spins as a bonus feature in a slot machine:
In most slot machines it is possible to win access to free spins. Then this is a separate bonus feature in the current game. How to win such free spins will vary from slot machine to slot machine. Free spins like this will be played with the same bet / value that you played with in the round where you activate free spins.
3. Free spins as a promotion:
Free spins like this are often awarded to existing customers in a casino. These can be promotions / bonuses or promotions of new slot machines. Also such free spins come with a predefined value.
Requirements and guidelines
Note that there are different requirements and guidelines that apply at the different casinos, so it is therefore smart to familiarize yourself with their bonus guidelines. You will also find these in our reviews of the various casinos.
The requirements can be about withdrawing money won on free spins, wagering requirements on the winnings, how much you are allowed to win, etc.
​
Also keep in mind that casinos today operate with something called KYC - Know Your Customer. This means that you as a customer must identify yourself the first time you withdraw money, and then you must submit a number of documents. This is a valid identification (passport, driver's license etc), electricity bill that confirms the residential address and confirmation of the deposit method (screenshot from online banking, Skrill, Neteller etc).
​
The first time you do this it may feel a bit twisted, but when you get into it it is done at full speed! If you are therefore going to play with real money in the casino, it is just as easy to get rid of this process right away so that you are ready to withdraw money if you win.
​
Enough about that: we'll be back for our beloved free spins!
More about free spins?
Free spins, free spins, free spins - dear children undoubtedly have many names and free spins is a term you use when you get free spins on a slot machine in an online casino. Here at NorgesCasino we post a lot of free variants of slot machines, but even if these rounds cost nothing, they are not free spins as you can not win real money on them.
'Real money' is the key word here, and for there to be real free spins, it must be possible to win real money on them - without the rounds costing you anything.
The rounds you receive are always limited in number, and how many you can receive will vary from casino to casino. The casino also decides which slot machine the rounds can be used on, and this you simply have to deal with.
Sometimes you can choose for yourself, but this is not very common. In such cases, there is usually an opportunity to choose between selected machines the casino has made the rounds available on.
An example of this is the all-Norwegian casino NorskeAutomater, which offers a free spins bonus to visitors at NorgesCasino. By registering an account there, you as a new player will get a full 100 free spins with no deposit required and you can choose between three different machines that you can use the rounds on.
The games are all delivered by the popular game developer NetEnt who offers the highest quality when it comes to casino games. The ones you can choose to play on are Starburst , Pyramid or the mobile game Jackpot 6000 touch - all very popular slot machines on the Norwegian market.
What wagering requirements apply to free spins?
Earlier in the text, we mentioned this as far as dealing with turnover requirements for free spins, and we will clarify this for you.
In the main, it can be said that free spins come with wagering requirements, and this means that you do not have the opportunity to withdraw the money you have won right away. Such money must be traded a given number of times and everything from 20x and up is normal.
This means that if you win 100 kroner on free spins with a wagering requirement of 20x, then you must make bets for a total of 2,000 kroner before the money can be withdrawn. It sounds difficult, yes, but it's not impossible at all.
When awarding such free spins, it may therefore be a good idea to read the bonus terms first. However, there are casinos that offer customers free spins, but this does not happen often. In such cases, you can withdraw the money immediately without having to sell the winnings. Keep in mind, however, that the casinos have minimum withdrawal limits so that you will not be too disappointed if you win.
Not just in the welcome bonus
Free spins are not something that is only awarded in the welcome bonus, and very often the casinos run various promotions where you can get free spins. These can be rounds that are handed out to you when you make a deposit or it can be free spins you receive when a new game has come out.
It can be smart to subscribe to the newsletter in your casino as you will then be notified of offers for free spins!
