Hey everyone! If you’re new to Pin Up Casino and just activated your first bonus, you might be wondering — how the heck do I actually use it? I had the same question when I signed up, and it turns out it’s not super obvious at first. So here’s a breakdown to help you avoid wasting your bonus. When you make your first deposit, the welcome bonus usually kicks in automatically unless you uncheck that box. It’s normally something like 100% match + free spins. Let’s say you deposit $50 — you’ll get another $50 as bonus funds, but you can’t withdraw that extra cash right away. You have to wager it first. Now here’s the trick: bonus money is kept separate from your real money. When you play slots, the casino uses your real cash first. Once that’s gone, it switches to the bonus balance. And the moment you win something with bonus funds, that money becomes "bonus winnings" — also not withdrawable until you complete the wagering. Wagering means you have to bet the bonus amount a certain number of times. Most of the time it's x40 or x50, depending on the promo. So with $50 bonus and x40 wagering, you need to place bets totaling $2000 before you can cash anything out from the bonus. Free spins work similarly. You win from them, and the winnings go to a bonus wallet with its own wagering requirement — usually x30 or so. Again, this varies. You can see the exact terms in the “Promotions” or “Bonuses” section of your account. Once you hit the target, your bonus money turns into real money, and then you can withdraw. Simple in theory, but it does take strategy and patience. I recommend sticking to low or medium volatility slots to stretch your balance and keep your chances up. Some good ones: Book of Dead, Sweet Bonanza, or Fruit Party. Also, avoid using bonus funds on table games unless they specifically allow it, because many don’t count toward wagering at all. Hope this helps someone! Any other bonus tricks I should know?
