Online casinos and slots are growing in popularity due to social isolation
If the online gaming and betting industry was consolidating its expansion before the arrival of COVID-19, social isolation has finished pushing online casinos as the prevailing leisure trend. Without risks, without moving from home and with a range of possibilities, both fans and new users always find a new proposal to tempt luck.
The main operators take advantage of this increase in demand to launch new and seductive promotions such as good casino bonuses and free spins without a deposit, which are the best way to start entering the world of Internet gambling houses and successfully attract thousands of new users every day.
Advantages of online casinos and free spins
Firstly, it is a legal gaming option that can be played from home, using the computer or mobile applications.
But also, thanks to the free runs, it is possible to get the most out of the money invested without additional costs. Basically, the user increases the profits by reducing the risk since, with the same money, he or she has a better chance of winning.
As if that wasn’t enough, there are additional rewards that can come along with these free spins, for which you need to have a good search criteria and choose the best online casino offer or promotion.
To take into account
All users, especially new ones, should be aware that there may be some ambiguity in some sports betting bonuses, as they are not always free spins without a deposit. You should also be aware that the time frames for these promotions are often short and therefore you may not always be able to take full advantage. Finally, it is sometimes necessary to make a very high profit or to bet a large amount to withdraw what has been achieved with the free spins.
So how do you know which option is reliable? There are online comparators that select the best current online casino promotions and gather them so that new users can get informed about each one in detail.
This kind of sites gather the best online casinos at the moment, based on the promotion they announce and on the users’ rating. It makes a selection in which it informs the free-spins, which are the requirements to obtain them, in which game they can be used, how the bonus package is composed and the average rating of the sports betting according to its users. This information is essential for responsible and reliable gambling.
However, it is always necessary to read the “small print” of each online casino and make sure that it has the certifications approved by the General Directorate of Gaming, which are usually found at the bottom of the websites.
How to get free spins and win with them
There are some tips and tricks to get free spins at major online casinos. Free spins have a higher probability of winning if certain guidelines are followed.
The first thing to do is to check in detail the promotion section of the portal and read the conditions in detail. Then, you can access the trial mode of the promoted slot machine, to check if you like it and if you understand the operation. It is likely that by accessing the test mode, the casino will inform the specific promotion for that game.
Another tip is to frequently visit online casino comparators, which we talked about earlier, to be aware of the latest updates.
It is also recommended to subscribe to the newsletter or alert system of our favorite online casino to find out about free spins promotions as soon as possible.
Which online casino should we choose?
Once the above recommendations have been followed, the user may have to decide between the three or four online casinos that seem to fit his expectations or launch the most tempting bonuses.
The suggestion is to choose carefully and trust the most important names. It is almost always the most prominent gaming houses that offer the best conditions for free-spins, such as 888casino, Betfair Casino, Bet365 Casino, William Hill Casino, etc.
It is also important to verify the trajectory and the quantity and quality of users and ratings, as well as read some reviews about the casino in which we will trust our leisure and money. But as we play for fun, it is also very useful to use the “test mode” of the slot machine to use it and know if it is to our liking before making the first deposit.
No matter how tempting the offer is, the premise of playing responsibly should not be forgotten.

Kindred Group has reported decline in its share of revenue from high-risk players for the fourth quarter 2024 at 2.7% (Q3 2024 3.2%). The percentage of detected customers who exhibited improved behaviour after interventions showed an improvement at 92.2% (compared to 87.3% in Q3 2024). This positive trend is mainly the result of stricter measures across key markets, improved internal processes, as well as the exit from non-locally licensed markets as part of to the acquisition by La Française des Jeux (FDJ) in October 2024. This shift reflects Kindred’s broader commitment to maintaining high regulatory standards and fostering safer gambling practices.
“It is pleasing to see the decline in high-risk revenue during the fourth quarter of last year. We know that the share fluctuates between quarters, but the long-term trend is showing a steady decline. We remain dedicated and focused on improving our systems and processes to ensure we offer our customers a safe and fun experience,” Esther Scheepers, Head of Responsible Gambling at Kindred Group, said.
“The increased focus on responsible gambling by regulators and the industry is welcomed. From our end, we see that by combining our expertise with emerging technologies, we can further enhance detection capabilities. We are currently working on our existing detection system in combination with an additional system that will enable us to integrate more robust compliance features and optimize our overall approach to safer gambling. Furthermore, we are exploring opportunities to expand our research efforts, aiming to support data-driven discussions and looking at emerging trends in consumer protection. All these aspects are important to protect the integrity of the licence model and maintain a level playing field,” Esther Scheepers added.
