About FreeBonus.co
FreeBonus.co exists for one reason: to tell you the truth about online casino bonuses. We don't rank casinos by commission. We rank them by the bonuses we actually tested, the money we actually wagered, and whether you can actually cash out.
The site is run by Sarah Cole, head reviewer and founder. Sarah has been claiming and testing casino bonuses since 2017, with over 300 bonuses personally tested across UK, EU, and global operators. She started FreeBonus.co because the industry standard was backwards: casino review sites made more money when they recommended bad casinos. We decided to flip that around.
How We Test Bonuses
Every bonus we publish has been tested by hand. That means Sarah or a team member:
- Opens a real account with real identity verification
- Claims the no-deposit or welcome bonus
- Deposits money (for welcome bonuses) if required
- Plays through the exact wagering requirement they advertise
- Requests a full withdrawal to confirm it processes
- Logs support quality and withdrawal speed
We don't publish scores from marketing claims or terms sheets. If the bonus doesn't work as advertised, or if withdrawal takes weeks, you'll read that here. If the casino pays out in 48 hours and the terms are fair, you'll read that too.
How We Make Money
FreeBonus.co earns affiliate referral fees when you click our links and sign up. This is standard in the industry. The important part: our income does NOT depend on your score. Whether we give a casino 4.5 stars or 2 stars, they still pay us the same commission if you click through. This means our rating is free to be honest.
We have turned down casinos that pay higher commissions because their bonuses don't deliver. We have recommended casinos with lower affiliate payouts because the bonus is genuinely good. Your trust is worth more to us than an extra 5% commission.
Our Editorial Standard
Every page is authored by Sarah Cole or a credited team member. We use consistent methodology across all reviews. See our Review Methodology for the step-by-step testing process. We update bonus offers every month and re-test casinos annually. If a casino changes terms or stops paying out, we update the rating immediately.
We're not neutral (no one is). We believe players deserve speed, fairness, and honest communication. We believe casinos with impossible wagering or tiny max cashout limits don't deserve your money. We filter for those standards before recommending anything.
Responsible Gambling
This site is for adults 18 and over in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal. If you gamble, set a budget you can afford to lose. Use casino self-exclusion tools if you need them. If gambling is causing problems, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) offers free support at 1-800-GAMBLER.
We do not promote no-deposit bonuses as a way to "win money." They are a low-risk way to test a platform. Your odds remain the same as real-money play. The house always has an edge.
18+ only. Gamble responsibly.
