Feel a little bit insane even asking this, but I have had offers from coral and betfred about £5 of free spins, is this something we should be taking up or not? Thanks

I got one today and didn’t have a bloody clue what I was doing! A few goes on the slots later and it was gone! But it could have gone the other way I guess so you’ve nothing to lose.

@tinker0159 and @SparklyMum, the bonus offer should come with terms stating the amount of wagering, I.e. A £5 bonus with 10 x wagering needs £50 of spins before it turns to withdrawable cash.

ah right I see, so its only any good if you win a more than the wagering needs? Sorry to be thick? xx

I literally have no clue when it comes to the slots games either, every time I try it's gone within about 4 spins, no idea why people would pay actual money to play those things.

If you get like a £5 / £10 bonus then just do 20p spins and hope for the best!

Make a note of your original balance before accepting a bonus, then grab a pen and paper, accept the bonus offer and note down how many spins you've done until you either "bust out" I.e. Lose all the bonus...or keep going until the wagering is finished.
An example:
1.) Coral give me a £10 casino bonus (5 x wagering),
2.) my original balance is £10.00 I accept the bonus.
3.) I then play 50 x 20p on autopspins on Frankie Dettori (I.e. Spend the £10 bonus).
4.) When the 50 spins finish I might have say £15.02 balance for example.
5.) I then set another 50 x 20p auto-spins but put a stop-loss of £5.02 on the Coral auto-spins settings,
6.) I continue until I've either bust out and lost the £10 bonus or I've done 5 lots of 50 x 20p spins (I.e. 5 lots of £10 = £50 of wagering).

Importantly, I never let my balance go below my original balance before I accepted the bonus, as I only want to use the bonus and not my own cash.

Now, there are other types of Casino bonus where you commit your own cash too, but that's another conversation!

if you dont wish to use a pen a paper do what I do

If the bonus is £10 and you need to wager it though say 20x (so £200 of wagering) I set the spin stake and then use the the autospin and set that to 100 spins or whatever so if I am doing 40p spins I know with each run of the autospin I have done £40 of wagering
