It all means the same thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best bonuses are the ones that don\u2019t have any wagering requirements attached, which are often called <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.askgamblers.com\/casino-bonuses\/no-wagering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no wagering casino bonuses<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or wager-free bonuses. These are the most highly sought-after bonuses and super hard to find, but they do exist and are currently available on a handful of licensed casino sites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these offers, you don\u2019t have to wager your free bonus money a specific number of times before you can withdraw any winnings you manage to make from your bonus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s dive straight in and take a closer look at the main differences between traditional offers and ones that don\u2019t have those annoying wagering requirements attached.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>What\u2019s the difference between wager-free and traditional offers?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference between <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk\/public-and-players\/guide\/page\/free-offers-and-bonuses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">traditional offers<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and wager-free offers on today\u2019s safest casino sites is that there are no wagering requirements attached. With traditional offers, players typically need to wager their bonus amount and the initial deposit amount a specific number of times before they can cash out their winnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On most sites with traditional offers, you will generally find that bonus money from a deposit match bonus must be wagered 30x, 40x or 50x times before you can cash out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to wager-free offers, you don\u2019t have to spend a certain amount of money first. The winnings you make from your bonus or the free cash you receive from the casino operator because of a bonus you claim are yours to do with as you please from the moment that money arrives in your account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always remember when claiming online casino bonuses that the lower the wagering requirement is, the better it is for you as a player. Here is a quick look at the average wagering requirement amounts you will most likely come across at online casinos today:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0x (zero wagering requirements) \u2013 The best online casino bonuses have no wagering requirements attached, but these all-elusive bonuses are often hard to find.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1x to 10x \u2013 These bonuses are also hard to find, but there are plenty of bonuses with 1x-10x wagering requirements attached. 1x to 10x is considered super low.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15x to 20x is considered low.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25x to 45x is considered average.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50x is considered above average.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything higher than 50x is considered high. Casino sites that attach 60x or 70x wagering requirements to their offers should be avoided at all costs and are often a sign of a casino with unfair processes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How do wagering requirements work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say that the 100% deposit match bonus of up to $500 you have claimed comes with a 30x wagering requirement attached, and you deposit just $50.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the 100% match part of the bonus will instantly double your deposit. Therefore, because you deposited $50, you would receive a $50 bonus, so your account balance should appear as $100.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if the bonus has a 30x wagering requirement attached, it means you couldn\u2019t just withdraw that $50 you just received until you have completed the wagering requirements. In other words, your $50 must be wagered 30 times before you can withdraw it, so you would have to wager $1,500, which is 30 multiplied by your $50 deposit, before you can make a withdrawal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wagering requirements must normally be completed within the time stated in the terms and conditions, which could be as long as two weeks to one month or as little as 24 or 48 hours. This is one reason you should always read the terms and conditions as they should specify how long you have to complete the wagering requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t complete the wagering requirements before the time runs out, the bonus money you received and any winnings from your deposit match bonus money will be removed from your account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With zero-wager offers, you don\u2019t have to worry about rushing to complete any wagering requirements because any winnings from your bonus are free to withdraw straight away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What to look for in a good online casino bonus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides looking for online casino bonuses with 0x wagering requirements, the most important thing to look for is a trustworthy website that won\u2019t let you down. Try to avoid claiming offers that sound too good to be true and never claim them out of necessity or on unlicensed casino sites because sites like this should not be trusted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick to claiming offers and <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.playdiplomacy.com\/games.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">playing games<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on world-class sites that have overwhelmingly positive reviews from the experts because these ones will have reputable operators with solid track records and good standing in the iGaming industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing to remember before claiming any online casino bonus is to read the terms and conditions because they will always explain in much greater detail exactly what you need to do to get the most out of the offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, only claim one bonus at a time, and only spend money that you can afford to lose when claiming bonuses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to claim any bonuses that you are offered on any trustworthy sites that you join, the other important thing you must always remember is to gamble responsibly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many players find that setting a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit helps them easily remain within their spending budget, whereas others prefer setting session time reminders or win\/loss limits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These safer gambling tools can be set manually when logged into your account. They include some great bankroll management tools that keep things safe and fun and help you to get the most out of playing. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost every fully licensed and regulated online casino out there today offers a range of bonuses and promotions to attract new customers and to retain existing members.\u00a0 The vast majority of online casino bonuses typically have \u2018wagering requirements\u2019 attached, which some people refer to as rollover, playthrough or turnover requirements.
