100 free spins at 2 ₽ provide 200 ₽ in free bets. And 20 free spins at 20 ₽ give 400 ₽. In the second offer, the number of spins is five times less, but their total value is twice as high. How much money will remain after playing, and what amount can be withdrawn — these are two separate questions.
Let’s break down the entire journey of one bonus: from the label “100 FS” to the record in the transaction history. All amounts below are educational examples from BET RATING.
What are free spins in simple terms
A free spin (from the English free spin, abbreviated as FS) is a spin of the slot reels for which a separate bet is not deducted from the player. If the casino awards 100 free spins as part of a promotion, the player is entitled to 100 such spins according to its rules. Each spin has a value — the amount of the bet from which the round's result is calculated.
For example, a record appears in the account stating “100 FS at 5 ₽.” This means that one hundred spins are allocated, each with a value of five rubles. Their total value is 500 ₽. The remaining spins can only be exchanged for this amount if the rules explicitly allow for such an option.
How to calculate the value of 100 free spins in rubles
For free spins with a fixed value, only one action is needed: multiply the number of spins by the bet per spin. Without the second figure, it is impossible to convert the offer into rubles.
| Quantity | Bet per spin | Total amount of free bets |
|---|---|---|
| 100 FS | 2 ₽ | 200 ₽ |
| 20 FS | 20 ₽ | 400 ₽ |
| 100 FS | 5 ₽ | 500 ₽ |
| 100 FS | 10 ₽ | 1,000 ₽ |
Where to find the value? Open the full terms of the promotion and look for the words “bet per spin,” “value of the free spin,” or spin value. Pay attention to the currency. If the card states only “up to 100 FS,” first clarify how many spins are allocated specifically under your conditions. It is too early to count based on the upper limit in this case.
Value, winnings, and withdrawal amount — three different figures
Suppose the player received 100 free spins at 5 ₽. All spins are used, and the history shows the line “Winnings from the promotion — 180 ₽.” Where did the 180 ₽ come from if the value of the package was 500 ₽?
- 500 ₽ — the total amount of free bets. This is how much one hundred bets at 5 ₽ amounted to. This figure could be calculated even before the first spin.
- 180 ₽ — the actual winnings in our example. This is the amount paid out from the completed spins. Another series will have its own result, including zero.
- The withdrawal amount is determined by the promotion's terms and the available balance. Check where the 180 ₽ were credited: to the main account or to the bonus account. Additional requirements may apply to the bonus account.
If the rules require wagering winnings from free spins with a multiplier of ×20, the calculation in our example is as follows: 180 ₽ × 20 = 3,600 ₽ of qualifying bets. The multiplier is applied to the winnings of 180 ₽. The number of spins and their value are no longer needed for this calculation. The amount of 3,600 ₽ shows the required turnover; it is impossible to determine the remaining balance based on this in advance.
How casino free spins differ from free spins within a slot
Imagine two situations. In the first, the user logs into their account and sees “You have received 20 FS.” This is a casino promotion. In its terms, you need to look for the name of the slot, the size of the bet, the usage period, and the payout process.
In the second situation, during regular gameplay, a combination of symbols appears, “10 Free Spins” shows on the screen, and the bonus round begins. Here, the number of spins, multipliers, and the possibility of obtaining additional rounds are described in the slot's help section. The preceding spin could have been a paid one.
There is also a combination of these situations: a promotional free spin triggers a bonus round within the slot. In this case, the game’s help explains how payouts for the round are calculated, while the promotion's terms specify which balance the result will be credited to.
Five questions to ask before activation
- How many spins will be awarded immediately? “100 FS” can be given in one package or in parts. For example, in the offer “20 spins for five days,” it is important to check whether the missed part carries over to the next day.
- What condition must be met to receive them? Spins may be awarded for registration, after a deposit, or via a promo code. The word “free” describes the spin itself. The conditions for awarding are specified separately.
- Where and at what stake do the free spins apply? Check the name of the game, the currency, and the value. Two packages with the same number of spins may differ in these parameters.
- When does the deadline expire? The promotion may have separate deadlines for activating the package, using the spins, and fulfilling the winning conditions. Find the one that relates to your current stage.
- What will happen to the winnings? Clarify which account it will be credited to, whether there is a wagering requirement, and whether the transfer amount to the main balance is limited. This is especially important if the card prominently displays only the number of FS.
Frequently asked questions about free spins
Can I get zero from 100 free spins?
Yes, if none of the spins yielded a payout and the promotion's rules do not provide for a guaranteed award. The number “100” simply defines the number of rounds.
“No deposit” and “no wagering” — what’s the difference?
“No deposit” refers to receiving free spins: no deposit is required to award the package. “No wagering” refers to winnings: under the specified condition, there is no requirement for turnover. A single promotion may have only the first condition, only the second, or both at once.
How can I understand how much I won from free spins?
Open the bonus history or completed rounds and find the payout amount for that series. If the account simultaneously displays “package value,” “winnings,” and “available for withdrawal,” the line “winnings” is needed to answer this question.
If the promotion description states only “100 free spins,” the most useful question is: “At what stake does one spin occur, and where is the result credited?” The answer to the first part allows for comparing offers in rubles. The answer to the second explains what will happen to the winnings. These are the conditions that BET RATING considers when analyzing bonus programs.
