About Us

About Us

No Wagering was launched in August 2017. The site started as a direct response to what founder, Pavlos Sideris, considered to be the punitive, unfair conditions many casinos were placing on players. The concept of wagering requirements – on a modest scale – to counter bonus abuse made sense, but 50x, 80x, 100x? So, the No Wagering mission started. And since then we have guided thousands of players to the best casinos, bonuses and free spins with no wagering requirements.

Our objective

Our objective, then as now, is to deliver the best no wagering casinos, bonuses, free spins and promotions with low wagering requirements.

For years, online casinos threw bigger and "better" bonuses at us, but they came at a price. Hidden in the small print were increasingly restrictive wagering requirements. The rise in complaints and refused withdrawals led players like us to seek out casinos with no wagering requirements, or at least those with low and fair wagering requirements. 

Our stance is a resounding NO to unfair wagering requirements and overly restrictive terms.

Stick with the casinos on our website, and ignore the rest. With your support we'll continue seeing a growing trend where casinos compete on favourable terms rather than the size of their bonus.

What we do and how we achieve our objectives

We publish reviews, guides, blogs, news, insights and opinion articles that provide a wealth of valuable information to the online gaming community – particularly (though not totally limited to) around wagering and no wagering, bonuses and promotions. The content we publish:

  • Will help readers find the best value no wagering and low wagering casinos
  • Guide readers to attractive bonus offers and promotions
  • Provide a source of readable, opinionated industry news stories

Help & FAQs

FAQs

How do I know if the casino I’m thinking of signing up to is any good?

We have this covered in some of our how to guides: 

I don’t fully understand how wagering requirements work. How do I find out? And how do I actually calculate them?

In terms of how they work please read our What Are Wagering Requirements guide. And as for actually calculating them have a look at this wagering requirements calculator.

I keep seeing ‘KYC’. What does this mean?

It means ‘Know Your Customer’ and is a process all players have to go through when they sign up to a new casino. Our What Is KYC? guide explains how it works, what you need to do and why it's important.

What T&Cs should I look out for at no wagering casinos?

Many players have indeed been caught out by the ‘small print’. That’s why it's really important to be fully across the terms and conditions you're likely to find.

I’m torn between taking bonus funds or free spins. What’s the best option?

This question comes up quite a lot. Both have pros and cons. Have a look at our Free Spins or Bonus Funds? guide which weighs up both.

Any other questions?

Companies and organisations we work with

At No Wagering we work closely with the best no wagering casinos around. Every casino listed on our site has been thoroughly reviewed by our team against a number of criteria. We will only list a site that we ourselves would be happy to play at. Here are our top picks:

The Gambling Commission devises, implements and oversees all gambling regulation in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). It is a very active and highly effective organisation which is widely respected globally within the industry. Also often known as 'UKGC', the Gambling Commission is a tough and exacting regulator when it comes to granting operator licences. You know you're at a trustworthy site if it has been licensed by the Gambling Commission. 

The Betting & Gaming Council represents industry interests. From time to time they question or challenge the Gambling Commission.

Resolver deals with consumer complaints, looking to reach mutually satisfactory outcomes. They're a good place to turn to for players who can't resolve an issue with their casino through standard customer service channels.

There is also a wide range of support organisations focused on responsible gambling.
