Promo code types and what each one unlocks
What Promo Codes Are
A promo code is a short text code you enter in HotSpins to unlock a specific offer. The offer can be a deposit bonus, free spins on a named slot, a cashback deal, or a fee-free tournament entry. Each code has fixed terms: an expiry date, a minimum deposit, eligible games, and a wagering requirement.
HotSpins ties promo codes to one account and one set of conditions. A code can be single-use, limited to new accounts, or restricted to players in certain countries. If any condition fails (for example, the deposit is below the minimum), the code does not apply and the bonus does not post.
Where To Find Them
HotSpins publishes promo codes inside the account area under the Promotions section and in bonus emails you opted into. The casino also places time-limited codes in push notifications if you enabled them on mobile. Some codes appear on partner pages that HotSpins tracks through a dedicated link and a matching code.
Check the small print next to the code before you use it. Look for four numbers: expiry date, minimum deposit, wagering (for example, x35), and any game restrictions (for example, “slots only” or “selected slots”). These lines decide whether the code will work and how long the bonus stays active.
How To Activate
Log in to HotSpins, open the cashier, and choose Deposit. Enter your payment method and deposit amount first, then type the promo code in the field labeled “Promo code” or “Bonus code.” Confirm the deposit; HotSpins applies the bonus after the payment clears, and you can verify it in the balance or bonus section.
Some codes activate without a deposit. In that case, open Promotions, select the matching offer, and press Activate; the free spins or bonus funds appear in the bonus wallet with a countdown timer. If the bonus does not show up, re-check the spelling, the expiry date, and whether the code is limited to first deposit or specific games.

Wagering (Playthrough) Terms At HotSpins
At HotSpins, the wagering requirement is the number of times you must stake the bonus amount (and sometimes the bonus plus your deposit) before a bonus turns into withdrawable cash. The casino tracks this as a total betting volume; any single bet counts toward the target unless the bonus rules exclude a game or cap the bet size.
- Example 1: 35x bonus You claim a $40 bonus with a 35x wagering requirement on the bonus amount. You must place $40 × 35 = $1,400 in total bets. If you bet $2 per spin, you need 700 spins to finish wagering.
- Example 2: 40x deposit + bonus You deposit $50 and get a $50 bonus with a 40x wagering requirement on deposit + bonus. The wagering target is ($50 + $50) × 40 = $4,000 in total bets. If HotSpins caps eligible bets at $5 while the bonus is active, a $10 spin may not count toward wagering and can break the bonus rules.
