Free spins are the most common part of a welcome offer for players in Sweden. The number of spins matters less than the value per spin, the games they are valid on and the wagering on the winnings. The table compares casinos that accept players from Sweden.
How do free spins work at Swedish licensed casinos?
Free spins are a bonus under Swedish law, so the first occasion rule applies to them as well. A licensed casino can include free spins in its welcome offer, but it cannot keep sending you new free spin offers later, and any campaign aimed at existing customers breaks the rules. Spelinspektionen treats a bonus given to an existing customer as a breach even when it was caused by a technical error.
Before you can use any spins you must identify yourself, usually with BankID, and set deposit limits. Licensed sites must also show the Spelinspektionen symbol and clear links to Spelpaus, a self-test and your limits. If you have registered in Spelpaus, no licensed operator may let you play or send you marketing.
Since 1 July 2023 game suppliers serving the Swedish market need their own licence from Spelinspektionen, so the slots you play with free spins at a licensed casino come from licensed suppliers. Free spin winnings at a Swedish licensed site are tax free for you.
How do free spins work for players in Sweden?
Free spins are credited on one or more selected slots, usually after the first deposit, sometimes spread over several days. Each spin has a fixed value, and the winnings are added as bonus money that must be wagered before you can withdraw them.
Online casino gambling is legal in Sweden only at operators licensed by Spelinspektionen, and offering, marketing or promoting unlicensed gambling to Swedish residents is prohibited and can be punished as a crime.
Paying in SEK and local payment methods

What wagering means in SEK
With 40x wagering, a 100 SEK bonus means 100 x 40 = 4,000 SEK in bets before the bonus can be withdrawn. Slots usually count in full; table and live games often count less.
40x is the median wagering among the casinos on this page.
