We all like to feel as though we’ve snagged ourselves a bargain. Whether it’s free spins playing slots online, a great discount, or a loyalty reward, these offers are a great way to help us save money online.


But as anyone who’s ever opened a pop-up telling them they’ve just won a new iPhone will tell you, it’s important to make sure that your offers are genuine. The internet is full of ‘freebies’ that could end up costing you big time – so how can you find freebies that will actually help keep your pockets full?


In this article, we’ll explain how you can find real online offers and start saving money. We’ve got all the tips and tricks to help you shop in confidence, so you know that your chosen bargains aren’t too good to be true.

  1. Use Comparison Sites

From welcome bonuses at the casino EnergyCasino to free trials for banking services, comparison sites are the best places to search for genuine freebies. These platforms will do the hard work for you, saving you from having to check out a product’s credentials for yourself.


Most will also have some kind of community element, whether it’s a forum for online product reviews or a crowdsourced customer satisfaction score. This can give you the confidence that your online freebie is the genuine article, so you can sit back and enjoy your bargain.

  1. Download A Discount Code Browser Extension

If you buy a lot of shopping online, a good discount code browser extension is a must. Apps such as Honey will automatically search for discount codes when you reach a checkout, scanning through its archive to test and select the best codes for your shopping cart.


Completely free to download, these extensions can save you hours trawling the internet for offers and trying each of them out in turn (often to no avail). Simply install your chosen extension, load it up when you’re preparing to checkout, and watch the algorithm try out codes on your behalf.

  1. Make Use Of Free Trials

Free trials can be a risky game. Obviously, it’s in a company’s interests if you forget to cancel your subscription before your account is charged – so many won’t send you regular reminders when your trial is coming to an end in the hope that you’ll do just that.


If you can be sure that you’ll remember to cancel, free trials can be an excellent way to save money on services and ensure that you’re only investing in worthwhile products. Next time you see a tempting offer online, set a reminder on your Google calendar – or even a phone alarm – for the day before your trial will expire.


This will ensure that you’ll only be charged if you decide that the product or service is worth the cost. Nobody wants to receive a hefty bill for something they forgot they signed up for, so doing this is a great way to try before you buy risk-free.


The internet is constantly bombarding us with offers that seem too good to be true. By following our top three tips above, you can sort the genuinely free from the fake and make sure you’re getting a sweet deal that won’t turn sour.
