BigWins Welcome Bonus

You can collect the BigWins welcome bonus across your first three deposits: up to £350 in match funds and 85 free spins, all with 35x wagering. Each stage pays less than the one before, so your first deposit does most of the work. Check the live terms on the BigWins site before you pay in, because amounts change.

How to claim the BigWins casino welcome bonus

Sign up

Create your account with your name, address, date of birth and email. It takes about two minutes. Look for the UKGC licence number in the BigWins footer before you go further. Keep a passport or driving licence nearby, because BigWins asks for ID before your first withdrawal.

Make your first deposit

Pay in with a Visa or Mastercard debit card, PayPal, Pay by Phone or Open Banking. Credit cards are banned for UK gambling, so they won't work. Some methods may not qualify for the bonus, and PayPal and Pay by Phone are the two to check first. Deposit £200 to unlock the full first-stage match.

Receive the bonus

BigWins credits your match funds and 50 free spins once the deposit clears. Open the cashier or bonus tab and confirm both have landed before you spin.

Start playing

Play eligible slots and watch the wagering counter and the expiry date in your bonus tab. Unused bonus funds expire, so a long break can cost you the lot.

Do you need a BigWins welcome bonus code?

Look for a promo field in the cashier on your first deposit. If it's there, type in the BigWins welcome bonus code from the current offer page. If the field is missing, BigWins applies the bonus to your qualifying deposit without a code. Add the BigWins welcome code before you confirm the payment, because support may refuse to add it afterwards.

BigWins welcome offer tiers at each deposit

BigWins splits the welcome offer across your first three deposits. The first stage gives the biggest match, and each later stage halves the percentage.

Deposit Match Max bonus Free spins Wagering
1st deposit 100% £200 50 35x
2nd deposit 50% £100 25 35x
3rd deposit 25% £50 10 35x
Amounts can change. Check the BigWins site for the live terms.

To collect the full £350 and 85 free spins, you deposit £200 three times, £600 in total. The second £200 returns a £100 match and the third returns £50. A £50 first deposit earns a £50 match, which leaves most of the £200 cap unused.

What 35x wagering costs you

The BigWins sign up offer applies 35x to all three stages, so the cost grows with each match. A £100 deposit earns a £100 bonus, and 35x means £3,500 in bets before you can withdraw bonus winnings. Check whether the terms apply the multiple to the bonus alone or to bonus plus deposit, because the second reading doubles the total.

Slots count 100%, so £3,500 of slot stakes clears that bonus. Roulette at 10% needs £35,000 in stakes for the same result.

How each game type counts towards wagering

Game type Contribution What it means for you
Slots 100% Fastest route to clearing the bonus
Table games 10% Ten times the stakes for the same progress
Live casino 10% Open to play, slow for wagering
Game shows 5% Fun to watch, the slowest way to clear
Sports betting Check terms Sports promotions run separately

Who qualifies for the BigWins new customer offer

The BigWins new customer offer applies once per person, and you must be 18 or over. Open a second account and BigWins can void the bonus and any winnings from it. Existing customers get reload deals and loyalty perks instead.

Set your limits before you claim

Set a deposit limit in your account before the first payment, and stick to it when the match percentage tempts you to top up. GamStop blocks you from every UKGC-licensed operator if you need a break, and BeGambleAware offers free, confidential support.

Welcome bonus questions

Can I use the welcome bonus on sports betting?
Sports bets don't count towards casino wagering. BigWins runs sports offers on the sportsbook page, so check there for a sports-specific deal.
Do payment methods affect eligibility?
Yes. Some methods can fall outside the bonus, and PayPal and Pay by Phone are worth checking in the terms before you deposit. Credit cards are banned for UK gambling, so use a debit card or Open Banking instead.
Which games clear the bonus fastest?
Slots, at 100% contribution. Table games and live casino count 10%, so the same wagering takes ten times the stakes.
Can I add the welcome code after my deposit?
Add it before you confirm the payment. Support may refuse to apply it afterwards.
Does the bonus expire?
Yes. Your bonus tab shows the expiry date and the wagering left, so check both after each session.
