Our verdict
The rule, in order: no wagering beats a requirement; between two wager-free offers the ceiling decides; between two with requirements the lower multiple wins, then the longer window. No score is applied, because nothing here has been measured beyond the operators' own figures.
Why two offers side by side changes the answer
Read in isolation, almost every no-deposit offer sounds reasonable. Fifty is a real thing to be given. A £100 maximum withdrawal sounds generous. Forty times sounds like a number rather than a wall. The problem is that none of those readings survives contact with the offer next to it.
Free spins Slot credit at a fixed stake per spin, so the award is a fixed amount of play rather than a balance you control. Full explanationMrQ and bet365 both credit fifty spins at 10p on registration. Identical award, identical stake per spin, identical trigger, both Gambling Commission licensees. One pays a win out as cash with no published ceiling. The other requires £480 of staking on a £12 win, inside seven days, on slots only. Placed side by side that gap is unmissable; placed on separate pages, both look like fifty free spins.
That is the whole argument for a comparison tool over a ranking. A ranking asks you to trust the ordering. A comparison shows the rows and lets the gap do the work, which also means it can be wrong in public — if two offers are placed the wrong way round here, anyone holding the casinos' terms can see it.
Why the rule is ordered the way it is
The requirement comes first because it is the only condition that can make an offer worth nothing. A tight ceiling reduces a good outcome; a steep requirement removes the ordinary one. On a £12 win, a £40 cap costs you at most the difference above £40 — a forty-times requirement costs you the entire win in most cases, because the balance is gone before the turnover is generated.
The ceiling comes second, and only decides between offers that already pay out. The play handed over — spin count times stake per spin — comes third, because it is the one that gets advertised and the one that changes the outcome least. The window comes last: it matters enormously in practice and almost not at all when comparing two offers that are otherwise the same.
What a comparison cannot settle
Whether the spins win. Over twenty or fifty spins the result is decided by variance, not by any published return percentage, so no arrangement of these rows predicts a return. The comparison decides what happens to a win if one occurs — which is a narrower question and the only one with a factual answer.
It also cannot settle anything about the casino as a place to hold an account: how quickly it pays, how it answers a complaint, whether the app works. Those need testing that has not happened here, and this page does not pretend otherwise. What it does is remove the arithmetic from the decision so the remaining questions are the ones actually worth asking.
Why the rule is printed before it is applied
Because a verdict that hides its reasoning is indistinguishable from a preference. The rule on this page is four lines long, it sits under the result, and anyone holding the casinos' published terms can check whether it was followed.
That is a lower claim than the industry standard, which is a score out of a hundred with a breakdown into six categories nobody can audit. It is also a claim this site can support, and the difference between those two things is the whole editorial position here.
Questions about comparing bonuses
How is the verdict decided?
By one rule, applied in order: an offer with no wagering requirement beats one with a requirement; between two wager-free offers the ceiling decides; between two with requirements the lower multiple wins, then the longer window. The rule is printed on the page so the result can be checked.
Why is there no overall bonus score?
Because a number out of a hundred implies measurement, and the only things measured here are the operators’ own published figures. An ordering by wagering multiple can be verified against those figures; a weighted score cannot be verified against anything.
Can I compare more than three?
Three is the limit at which a side-by-side stays readable. The full set of eight is on the casino comparison table, which is built for scanning rather than for a verdict.
Are these figures final?
They are summaries of what each casino publishes, and a casino can change its own terms without notice. Read the comparison to decide what to check, then confirm the figures against the casino’s own conditions before claiming — those are what bind.
