Free spins are the most common part of a welcome offer for players in Switzerland. 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 Switzerland.
How do free spins work at Swiss online casinos?
In Switzerland every game a licensed online casino offers needs its own approval from the ESBK, so free spins at a Swiss site are always played on slots that the regulator has cleared. Swiss online casinos usually run under a .ch domain linked to a named land-based casino, which makes them easy to recognise.
Free spin winnings at a licensed Swiss site fall under the same tax exemption as other winnings from authorised games: tax free up to the federal threshold of about 1 million francs per win. In December 2025 the Federal Council proposed taxing very large wins above that level at the winner's place of residence. Check with your cantonal tax office if you ever win close to that amount.
Foreign sites that advertise free spins to Swiss residents without a Swiss licence are on the official blocking list kept by the ESBK and Gespa. Stakes and winnings at such sites can be confiscated in criminal proceedings against the operator, and the tax exemption does not apply.
How do free spins work for players in Switzerland?
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 games are legal in Switzerland only at Swiss casinos with an extended ESBK concession, while foreign sites without a Swiss licence may not offer or advertise their games to Swiss residents and are placed on an official blocking list.

What wagering means in CHF
With 40x wagering, a 100 CHF bonus means 100 x 40 = 4,000 CHF in bets before the bonus can be withdrawn.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.
