Introduction – What “no-deposit bonus” really means in late 2025
A no-deposit bonus is any amount of free credits, free spins, or free Sweeps Coins that a casino gives you the moment you finish registration and verification, without requiring you to add any money first. There are only two legal types in the United States right now:
- Real-money licensed casinos (available only in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware).
- Social / sweepstakes casinos (available in 40–49 states depending on the platform).
This 5,000-word guide lists every single active no-deposit offer that exists on December 1, 2025. Nothing is exaggerated, nothing is hidden, and no site is paying for placement. It is simply the complete public list.

Social/sweeps casinos
