How We Review Casino Bonuses
Every offer on SpinBonus.net has been through the same verification process before it appears. Here is exactly what that process involves and what we check.
Only bonuses from licensed casinos, with fair terms and a proven claim process appear on our site. If a bonus fails to pass our checks at any stage, it will not be seen on SpinBonus.net.
Our Review Process — Step by Step
-
Licence verification
All casinos must hold a valid licence from a recognised regulator such as the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. Any casino that operates under low-regulation jurisdictions only, such as Curaçao and the Isle of Man B2C, will be scrutinised more heavily when verifying their licences.
-
Bonus terms — full read
The full terms of the bonus must be read. This includes the wagering requirement, expiry date, maximum cashout, eligible games, maximum bet and payment methods. If the bonus does not publish these terms on their website, the casino will be contacted to request these terms.
-
Claim process check
The claim process must be verified. This includes bonus code, deposit and spin requirements. This verification step is crucial to ensure that the bonus terms are not voiding players' winnings before they even land on the gaming table.
-
Casino withdrawal track record
The casino's reputation in terms of player feedback on withdrawals will be checked. Casinos that have an inconsistent withdrawal track record will not be published on the website, even if they have the best bonus offers.
-
Initial listing and display
Once verified, the bonus will be listed. The terms will be displayed on the comparison page under the headline offer. The bonus content is written by our team; it will not be copied from the casino's website. All verified bonuses will appear on our no deposit free spins, 100 free spins and 50 free spins pages.
-
Monthly accuracy review
Bonuses can change frequently. Therefore, all bonus offers will be reviewed at least once per month to ensure that the bonus, terms and offer process are still as advertised. Any bonus that has expired or changed will be reflected in the database.
What We Evaluate
When assessing the various free spin offers on the site, we evaluate the following factors:
Wagering requirement
The most important of the bonus factors. This will be checked to see the bonus multiplier and what it applies to. The lower the wagering requirement, the better. Any wagering requirement of over 40x on winnings is considered restrictive.
Maximum cashout cap
Checked to see if the bonus has a maximum cashout limit on winnings and how much money. If there is a cap on winnings, the maximum amount must be €20 for the bonus to be considered valuable.
Expiry window
The expiry date will be noted to see how long players have to claim the bonus and meet the wagering requirement. Expire dates of 1 day or less with high wagering requirements are not considered valuable bonuses.
Spin count and value
The total number of bonus spins that are awarded and the value of each spin; typically €0.10. The higher the number of bonus spins and the more valuable each spin, the better. Headlines for bonus spins will also be checked against the wagering requirement to determine value.
Casino reliability
This will be evaluated to see if the bonus is from a licensed, reliable casino with fast withdrawals and great player feedback. Even the best bonus can be negated by a poor casino reputation.
