What treats are in store for slots players this April?

Spring has proven to be a somewhat odd time for the online casino industry. As while new games have hit the market, the Government recently announced during its budget that it plans on clamping down on “free bet” offers. This motion could come through in 2017, which would mean that many online casino brands would be capped at the knees when it comes to bonus goodies

Spring has proven to be a somewhat odd time for the online casino industry. As while new games have hit the market, the Government recently announced during its budget that it plans on clamping down on “free bet” offers. This motion could come through in 2017, which would mean that many online casino brands would be capped at the knees when it comes to bonus goodies. While that may be the case, it looks like in spite of the news various major websites are going bonus crazy. If you have a love for all things slots, here are a few promotions that will work to get the reels rolling this month. 

Paddy Power

 Stepping up to the plate, it looks like Paddy Power has ramped up its no deposit bonus to £10. Working as the perfect sampling tool, with just a 40x-wagering requirement, it has never been any easier to sample what Paddy Power has in store. Paddy Power On The Up In 2016

Pocket Fruity

 The world was stunned when Pocket Fruity stopped offering free spins, but fan pressure soon forced the casino into a U-turn. Roaring back in style, Pocket Fruity is now offering players 50 free spins on a selection of superstar slot games, including both Gonzo’s Quest and Starburst.pocket fruity main 

BGO

 For new players, Pocket Fruity is the perfect pick, however registered players will want to direct their attention towards BGO. Putting 60 free spins on the line, players can say a big hello to the likes of Guns ‘n’ Roses and Aloha! Cluster. All you have to do is deposit £20 and you’ll be handed 20 free spins, with every member able to do this up to a maximum of three times.BGO

Rebecca (Becky) Mosley has been at the heart of the UK online gambling industry since 2008 — making her one of the most experienced voices in casino comparison. She is editor-in-chief at Compare Casino Sites and personally oversees every casino review published here.

Becky brings a genuine player-first perspective to everything on CCS. Her approach has always been the same: transparency, fair bonus terms, and responsible gambling above all else. She insists on the same standards from every operator listed on the site — if a casino's terms can't stand up to plain-English scrutiny, it doesn't earn a recommendation.

She works directly with operators and software providers to keep every listing accurate, and reviews each casino's wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, and customer support before a single rating goes live.
