Casino Bonus Codes and Free Spins Codes

A casino bonus code is a short word or string of letters that tells the casino which offer you want. You type it into a promo field when you register or make a deposit, and the casino adds the matching bonus to your account. Some codes unlock a deposit match, some give free spins, and some do both. Casinos use them to track where a player came from and to run several offers at the same time.

The code itself has no value on its own. What counts is the offer behind it and the rules attached to it. Two casinos can both give "100% up to €500" and still be very different deals once you read the wagering, the time limit and the cap on winnings. That is why every row in our table shows the wagering next to the code.

If you look at the table, you will see "No code needed" far more often than a real code. Most modern casinos add the welcome bonus automatically. You sign up through the casino link, tick the bonus box or pick the offer from a list, and then deposit. A few brands still ask for a code at each step of the welcome package, for example a different code for the first, second and third deposit. Where that is the case, the extra codes are listed in the casino review under "bonus codes".

When there is no code, the important step is usually the opt in. Many casinos only credit the bonus if you activate it before you pay. If you deposit first, the money lands as a normal deposit and the bonus is gone. Read the short terms in each review before your first payment.

People often search for "brand bonus code", such as a Stake bonus code or a Spininio bonus code, and find a long list of different codes on different websites. Many of those are exclusive codes. An exclusive code belongs to the website that agreed it with the casino, and it usually works only when you arrive through that website's link. If you use a code from another site with our link, the casino may reject it or give you the standard offer instead.

The codes on this page are the ones we can confirm for the offer you get through our links. We do not copy codes from other sites. When the casino's own pages were not reachable for us, we only list a code if several independent sources agree on it, and we say so in the review.

Before you enter any code, open the bonus terms on the casino site and look for these points:

• Wagering. How many times you must bet the bonus, or the deposit plus the bonus, before you can withdraw. Our wagering requirement guide shows what 35x means in real money.
• Time limit. Many welcome offers must be wagered in 3 to 10 days. A short window makes a big bonus hard to clear.
• Max bet. Most casinos cap each bet while a bonus is active, often at €5. One bigger bet can void the bonus.
• Win cap. Some offers limit how much you can cash out from bonus play, for example 5x the bonus.
• Excluded payments. Skrill and Neteller deposits are often excluded from welcome offers.

Our casino bonus terms guide covers each of these in more detail. To compare two offers in numbers, put them into the bonus value calculator or the wagering calculator.

Free spins codes work in the same way as deposit codes, but the reward is a set number of spins on one or more named slots. The spins have a fixed stake, often €0.10 or €0.20, and the winnings usually go to a bonus balance with their own wagering. A code for 200 free spins at €0.10 is worth about €20 in stakes before wagering, which is less than it sounds. The free spins value calculator gives a quick estimate. You can also browse every current offer on our free spins page.

A bonus code does not change the odds of the games. The casino keeps its edge, and wagering means you will bet more than you planned if you are not careful. Set a deposit limit before you claim any offer, stop when the budget is used, and never deposit just to keep a bonus alive.
