Free spins are among the most highly coveted promotions at sweepstakes casinos, but they can be challenging to find.
Unlike sign-up offers or daily log-in bonuses, it’s far more nebulous how to actually acquire free spins, and the offers tend to expire quickly.
That said, there are still some tricks for finding free spin offers. The #1 priority is checking your email and keeping your eyes peeled for new promos. Here are some more tips for maximizing the value from your free spins.
How Free Spins Work at Sweepstakes Casinos
Free spins on sweeps casinos are exactly what they sound like: A limited number of spins on a select game. The casino will select the bet amount, usually .05 SC, .10 SC or .20 SC and essentially credit you the amount just for free spins.
For instance 10 free spins on the popular slot Sugar Rush at .10 SC per spin would mean 1 SC in free play.
You get to keep any winnings acquired during your free spin session. That’s true for any jackpots or features.
What Casinos Give The Most Free Spins?
I’ve spent hundreds of hours playing on sweeps casinos and I will say that free spins are more scarce than some of the other offers.
For instance, daily log-in bonuses are awarded daily, but free spins might only come once a week or once a month. You never truly know when you might receive free spins.
That said, in my experience, some sweepstakes casinos offer significantly more free spins than others.
Currently WOW Vegas offers more free spins than any other sweeps casino (I receive free spin offers almost daily). High 5 Casino, Crown Coins and Fortune Coins are also good options.
I’ve also received limited free spins from McLuck, Jackpota and Hello Millions.
What Are the Different Ways to Acquire Free Spins?
Finding free spins is more difficult than other promotions and you’ve got to keep your eyes peeled. Here are some of the ways I was able to find ranked in order of efficiency.
I’ve had the most success using email to find free spin offers. It’s important to sign up for sweeps casinos and then opt in to their promotional emails because that’s how you’ll get the offers.
There’s a good chance it will look a little something like this:
I find that every other morning WOW Vegas will email me an offer for free spins. It’s important to note that free spins expire the same day, so you have a limited time to actually play them.
Promotions tab
I like to check the promotions tab every time I log into my favorite sweeps casino. You’ll find a surprisingly large amount of offers (especially on the bigger sites). It’s one of the more common areas to find free spins.
Social media
Most sweeps casinos offer a few different social media accounts. Occasionally they’ll send out free spins using Instagram, Twitter/X or Facebook.
Sometimes I miss free spin offers in my email (check your junk settings!) but there are a couple helpful subreddits that publicize free spin offers. r/ChumbaCasino is the most popular sweeps subreddit and it discusses many sweeps casinos beyond just Chumba.
Coin Bundles
This is the most straightforward way to acquire free spins but it’s debatable if the spins are actually “free”. Several casinos will offer free spins if you purchase a coin bundle.
McLuck is famous for this. Here’s an example: In a recent flash sale bundle $29.99 gets you 68,000 GC + 34 SC + 15 Free Spins (.20 SC each).
Some of the other casinos that offer free spins with their coin bundles include High 5 Casino, Jackpota, Hello Millions and Scrooge Casino.
A flash offer on McLuck that offers 15 free spins (in addition to GC+SC).
What Happens When I Run Out of Free Spins?
Once you use your free spins, a pop-up window generally lets you know the free spin session is over. You can keep playing the slot, but you’ll be spending your own SC from then on.
Also note that sometimes the bet amount will reset to 1 SC. I’ve accidentally made some large bets without realizing it. It’s worth keeping track of exactly when your free spins are ending.
This is an example of what happens when your free spins are complete. Remember, you’ll be playing your own SC from this point on.
What Games Are Available for Free Spins?
There’s no telling what game might be selected for free spins.
Quite often, I find that in-house-developed slots are selected for free spin offers. But I’ve also received free spin offers for popular third-party slots like Fire Stampede and Sugar Rush.
One of the best things about free spin offers is that they highlight games you might have missed like Coins of Zeus and Slotfather: Book of Wins.
What Happens if I Win Big on a Free Spin?
You can do whatever you want with the winnings. You can just keep playing slots with your new-found winnings or potentially make a redemption.
As a reminder, Sweeps Casino Gold Coins are just for fun, while Sweeps Coins can be redeemed at a 1:1 ratio with USD.
Most sweeps casinos have a minimum redemption of 50 or 100 SC so you’ll need to build up your winnings before you can make a redemption. Some sweeps casinos also offer gift card redemption for SC. The minimums for gift card redemption are generally lower and more in the 10-20 SC range.
Beware that you will have to complete verification before making a redemption, which can be a lengthy process. I recommend verifying as soon as you make an account on a sweeps casino so there are no extra delays when you go to make a redemption.
What About Free Spins Acquired in Game?
It’s important to understand the distinction between in-game free spins and free spins provided by the casino.
Many games have a free spin mode. The mode is activated by hitting a certain number of symbols on the reel. Once you’ve activated the free spin mode you won’t have to risk any coins to spin and prizes are typically increased. There’s no telling how many free spins you might win because many free spin modes also have a chance to re-trigger so you can rack up tons of free spins.
On the other hand free spins are simply that. A certain number of free spins provided by the casino for a select game.
Theoretically, you might even be able to trigger a free spin mode while playing out your free spins (if the game supports free spin mode). Dare to dream!
