Play Frank welcomes new players to the site with a 100% matched deposit and bonus spins bundle. After signing up and depositing £20, I was able to claim an additional £20 in bonus credit plus 50 spins for NetEnt’s cosmic classic, Starburst.
The maximum bonus is £100, which you can claim by depositing £100 of your own cash. Couple that with some bonus spins and there’s lots to be excited about here. Some sites include a more diverse range of eligible slots when it comes to the spins, but since the bonus credit can be used on a variety of games, there’s no problem there.
The main drawback of this offer is the 35x wagering requirement that applies to the bonus funds and any winnings from the free spins. In my case, after receiving £20 from the matched deposit, I would need to wager £700 (35 x £20) before the bonus money could be transferred into my real money balance. Similarly, if I struck it lucky and won £10 from the free spins, I’d need to wager £350 (35 x £10) to withdraw those winnings.
35x wagering requirements are common among UK online casinos, but that doesn’t make them any less restrictive, particularly as players only have 21 days to fulfil them before the bonus balance expires. It could be worse, though — Voodoo Dreams has a similar welcome offer that comes with 60x wagering, applied to the sum of the deposit and the bonus credit, which really does make it nigh-on impossible to withdraw any cash.
I’d recommend Play Frank’s offer to new players who are simply keen to try out the site and get to grips with a variety of different slots and casino games. It’s best to avoid expectations of a cash return and treat the spins and bonus credit as a test run. If you’d like to play slots with free spins and avoid wagering requirements, check out what’s on offer at Betfair and PlayOJO.
Once I got settled in at Play Frank, I was pleased to see a decent range of ongoing promotions. Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins offers a whopping £2,000,000 in prizes every month. Plus, there are opportunities to pick up free spins every day when you wager £100 or more with the Daily Spin Frenzy, along with additional Daily Challenges that come with a mix of exciting rewards.
