How We Test Free Spins Offers
We judge every package the same way, in this order, and score it against the benchmarks in the intro. The full method is on our how we test and score casinos page.
How big is the offer, really?
We record the spin count, the value per spin where the site states it, and how the batch is dripped, so the real size is clear rather than the headline.
Expert tip: divide the deposit by the spins to sanity-check the value. A lot of spins for a large crypto-only deposit is not the deal it looks like.
What are the two wagerings, and is there a cap?
We read the playthrough on the spin winnings, the separate one on the deposit match, and the maximum win. The cap is usually the number that decides whether the offer is worth claiming.
Expert tip: a C$65 cap on 325 spins is a worse offer than no cap on 180. Rank by the ceiling, not the count.
How fast does the site pay?
We fund a real account and run a withdrawal end to end, then record the actual time. Where we have not run that test yet, we say so rather than guess.
Expert tip: payout speed is the one thing an offer cannot fake. It is the number we trust least from operators and most from our own runs.
How clear and fair are the terms?
We check that the wagering, cap, eligible slot and expiry are stated plainly and match what the offer does. Buried caps and 24-hour spin windows cost a site marks.
Expert tip: if you have to hunt for the max-win cap, that alone tells you how the site treats players.
