Withdrawing winnings from a no deposit bonus
Winning from a no deposit bonus like FS100 doesn't mean instant cash — winnings sit in a locked bonus balance until wagering clears, and are capped at a fixed maximum. Here's the full process, in order.
Step by step
- Clear the wagering requirement. Bet through your bonus winnings the required number of times (see our wagering guide) — only eligible games count.
- Confirm your balance moved to "real." Once wagering clears, winnings shift from the locked bonus balance into your withdrawable real balance.
- Complete KYC if you haven't already. Upload photo ID and proof of address — see our KYC guide.
- Request the withdrawal. Choose a payout method in your account — often the same one used to verify your identity.
- Wait for processing. Casinos typically process requests within 24–48 hours, plus your payment provider's own transfer time.
Understanding the cashout cap
No deposit bonuses almost always carry a maximum cashout — a ceiling on how much of your winnings are actually withdrawable, regardless of what your balance shows before wagering. If you win $200 from FS100 but the cap is $100, you can withdraw $100 once wagering clears; the rest is removed. This exists because no deposit offers are marketing tools, not intended to pay out unlimited amounts, and it's always disclosed in the bonus terms before you claim.
What affects payout timing
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| KYC already completed | Faster — nothing to hold up processing |
| Payout method | E-wallets are typically faster than bank transfer |
| First withdrawal | Usually slower due to a mandatory review |
| Weekend/holiday requests | Processing resumes next business day |
Frequently asked questions
Can I withdraw before wagering is complete?
No — funds in the bonus balance are locked until the wagering requirement is fully met.
Does the cashout cap apply to my own deposited money too?
No — the cap only applies to bonus-derived winnings, not to money you've deposited yourself.
What's the fastest way to get paid?
Complete KYC as early as possible and choose an e-wallet payout method where available.
