How free spins work and where to use them
HotSpins Bonuses Overview
Welcome bonus: HotSpins runs a 3-part welcome package for new accounts: 100% up to $200 on the first deposit, 50% up to $300 on the second, and 25% up to $500 on the third. The minimum deposit for each step is $20. Bonus funds carry a 35x wagering requirement, and you have 7 days to clear each bonus after activation.
Free spins: The first-deposit offer includes 100 free spins on a selected slot (for example, Starburst), credited in two batches of 50 on deposit and 50 after staking $20 on slots. Free-spin winnings convert to bonus funds and use the same 35x wagering, with a $5 maximum bet while the bonus is active.
Cashback and promotions: HotSpins pays weekly cashback at 10% of net losses on slots, capped at $100 per week, credited every Monday. The promotions tab rotates short campaigns such as a weekend reload (50% up to $100 with code WEEKEND50, 30x wagering) and slot races with a $2,000 prize pool paid as bonus credit.
What Promo Codes Are
A promo code in HotSpins is a short text code you enter to unlock a specific offer. The code is tied to preset terms: a bonus type (for example, bonus funds or free spins), a time window, and a minimum deposit amount.
HotSpins applies each promo code to one action: registration, a deposit, or a reload. A code does not stack with another code in the same transaction, so you pick one offer per deposit.
Where To Find Them
HotSpins publishes promo codes in its email campaigns, inside the player account notifications, and on partner pages that run tracked promotions. Some codes appear in short-term events, so the same code can stop working after the event ends.
Each promo code has a usage limit set by the casino: one-time per account, limited redemptions, or a fixed expiry date. If a code is no longer valid, the cashier rejects it at the moment you try to apply it.
How To Activate A Promo Code
Log in to HotSpins, open the Cashier, choose Deposit, and select your payment method. Enter the promo code in the Promo code field before you confirm the payment, then check that the bonus preview updates to the offer you expect.
Complete the deposit at or above the minimum amount shown next to the offer. After payment, open Bonuses (or My bonuses) to confirm the bonus is active and to see the wagering requirement, eligible games, and the deadline to meet the playthrough.

Wagering (Playthrough) Terms At HotSpins
At HotSpins, a wagering requirement (also called playthrough) is the total amount you must stake on eligible games before a bonus or its winnings can be withdrawn. It’s calculated as: bonus amount × wagering multiplier, and bets on some games may count at different rates.
- Example 1 (deposit bonus): You claim a $100 bonus with a 35x wagering requirement. Your playthrough target is $3,500 in eligible stakes ($100 × 35). If slots contribute 100%, every $10 slot spin adds $10 toward the target until you reach $3,500.
- Example 2 (mixed game contributions): You claim a $50 bonus with 30x wagering, so the target is $1,500. If slots count 100% and blackjack counts 10%, then $200 in slot bets adds $200, while $200 in blackjack bets adds $20. After $200 slots + $200 blackjack, you’ve cleared $220 of the $1,500 requirement.
