Frequently Asked Casino Questions

The best time to play online casino is the time that you feel comfortable to do so. There are no times of the day specifically affecting your chances of winning.  Online slot machines are run using complex algorithms which pay out wins to players based on the amount of money wagered through them.  Unless you have a crystal ball, we’re afraid it really is just luck!

This is often dependent on how much you are willing to bet.  But you shouldn’t chase big wins at any online casino if you wouldn’t be happy to lose.  There are of course other ways to win big that don’t involve huge bets.  Very high variance slots can offer a way to win big without huge bets but as you may expect, these wins can be extraordinarily rare.  Let us know if you hit one!

Wagering requirements are simply the amount of times you need to wager the bonus funds at the casino before those funds become eligible for withdrawal.  For example, a 35x wagering requirement on a bonus of £100 will require you to wager that money 35 times.  In other words, if you’re playing slots, that would be £3,500 worth of spins.  Often this is more achievable than it seems if you play sensibly with low variance games.

Yes, most of the bonuses listed on this site come with a free spins element.  It’s become a rather standard practice these days to offer players free spins on top of a match bonus.  A good tip if you’re not sure is to contact live chat and ask them if your bonus has free spins attached to it.   They will always be happy to explain your bonus.

It really depends by what you mean by “best”.  There are lots of slots that have extremely enjoyable and interesting bonuses and there are also many slots that have high potential bonuses capable of delivering large pay days.  These are not necessarily the same slots.  In our opinion Big Time Gaming offer some of the best slots with extremely high variance coupled with enjoyable game play.

The best way to beat casino wagering is to play low variance slots.  Slot games are counted as 100% weighting towards your wagering requirements whereas table games count less.  Low variance slots with high RTP offer a good chance to get through wagering in as sensible a way as possible.

A casino bonus is when an online casino gives you a bonus when you deposit with them.  Here in the UK, a good example would be a bonus of 100% up to £100.  This would involve depositing £100 yet receiving a balance of £200.  Be aware though, the bonus funds are restricted and come with wagering requirements.

In the UK, casinos are legally required to refrain from restricting real money funds. This means bonus funds are only used after you have lost your real money funds.  This is called a “non-sticky” bonus.  For this reason there is no real drawback involved in utilising casino bonuses in the UK.
