TNA Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace is next to challenge NXT champion Roxanne Perez at the upcoming Battleground premium live event in Las Vegas.
Grace, who just a few months ago was a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble, came out during NXT last night as NXT GM’s Ava pick to face Perez.
Showered with “TNA” chants from the fans at the Performance Center, Grace told Perez that come Battleground, she will leave Las Vegas carrying both the TNA Knockouts and NXT Women’s titles.
Grace will also make her NXT in-ring debut next week when she takes on Stevie Turner.
“Can’t wait to make my in-ring debut for @WWENXT next week as the TNA Knockout’s Champion,” Grace wrote on X.
Earlier, Grace wrote “Told you” when she reposted the January 28 message from X where said that this won’t be the last time you’ll see of TNA in WWE after the Royal Rumble.
Us wrestling fans don’t enjoy the best reputations for cranial capacity. But presumably even the least of us recall Ospreay’s clash with Bryan Danielson a month ago. To decide the best wrestler of all time. Credit Excalibur did not extend our way before this got going – Ospreay’s ‘toughest test yet.’
And when it did, the company’s biggest star literally damn near broke his neck to give the Kingdom some shine. The immediate interference and dumb refereeing a portentous start to the show.
Luckily the fans were incredibly into Will. Though not really the match itself. Hard to blame them as the heels again took the ref and Wardlow apparated inside the ring. And was spotted, though not immediately thrown out. That only happened minutes later when he and the Kingdom again disrupted an Oscutter.
The stage clear to actually wrestle, a brilliant sequence led to Will hitting the cutter. And eventually winning via Stormbreaker after teasing a Callis-demanded tiger driver. In a good match not nearly got enough to compensate for the Brit’s drop down the card.
The big positive is Ospreay comes off as such a star in front of these bigger ppv audiences: during the entrance, match and aftermath as he basked with his belt. The crowd doing more to get him over than the booking here.
And Don Callis is a treasure: ‘We won! We won!’
Cole/MJF
Cool as surprises are, we don’t always need two. So it would’ve been nice if they’d built up Adam Cole having something to say here.
‘You all suck!’ Cole’s first words after being cheered during his entrance. Which was very amusing, a refreshing change from teasing being a good guy or winding the way to a dig at a local sports team.
He didn’t get many more out before a video began to play. Taking us along the hallway of a large house before dipping into one of the rooms. Where a Burberry scarf lay on display. Along with a suit resting on a mannequin.
And my god what a pop when the ‘new’ MJF came out. Clad like HHH: denim cutoff over a leather jacket, tanned, buff. He quickly dispatched Cole (who still isn’t cleared), so easily it seemed to symbolize moving on from that feud.
Then cut a hell of a promo, promising ‘no more ha-ha… no more bullshit!’ He got an F-bomb out too while saying without saying that the angle and booking at the end of 2023 sucked. Then revealing an ‘AEW’ tattoo on his calf. Surrounded by the words ‘bet on yourself.’
I hadn’t missed the previous MJF. This one though…
BBG/Death Triangle
Something else I missed was that this trio actually go by ‘Bang Bang Gang’ and it’s not just a catchphrase. Well worked, nice heel/face dynamic highlighted by Jay White’ s opportunism. Crowd not all that into the action excepting the Bros’ rapid high spots.
Capped when Juice returned (actually really well done, the referee believably distracted across the ring), allowing White to pin Pac. And presumably continuing the Geordie’s mental decline while setting up a Kiwi grudge.
Nice stuff.
Mox/Takeshita
What seemed an obvious Moxley win changed toward the end of last week. First when he easily left the Japanese laying on Dynamite; second when Moxley’s left arm was rendered null on Collision.
Because, boy, if Take loses now…
And of course he dominated a match which was a shadow of its potential due to that arm injury. But wow did the finish kill him even more dead. When he followed Callis’ instructions to grab a bunch of chairs. In full view of the ref too. Backfiring when Mox stomped him onto one then hit a Death Rider to win.
An issue on this show was wrestlers not losing cleanly. As noted in the past, booking like this doesn’t help. Star X would be well within their rights to point to Kenny Omega losing not once, but twice, to this dude and wondering what it was all for.
Copeland/Malakai
AEW won’t feature a mid-carder from 1998 here right? I thought, banishing the idea of mentioning Gangrel in the preview. Whoops.
Skipped to the end of this, just in time to see the other House of Black members inside the cage. Where yet another swerve (MJF also pretended briefly to reconcile with Cole) saw them pretend to side with Copeland. Before Dave Heath popped up from under the ring just in time – presumably after a text: ‘Those bastards swerved me dude!’ – to help Copeland win.
Allowing Malakai, despite being surrounded by almost a visual representation of a clean finish, once again to avoid one. Poor Copeland also suffered a broken tibia here. They need to start telling wrestlers, ‘No.’
Mercedes/Willow
Then it was time for the best thing on the show. Beginning with heavy ‘CEO’ chants. From the speakers. None from the fans. Mone booed during introductions. Willow though, hell of a pop.
There was a clutch of crowd who did yell the three letters as what was easily the most heated match all night got going: Mercedes vengefully targeting Willow’s ankle; Willow deciding turnabout was fair play, plenty of drama, great ‘disbelief’ facials from both on near falls, good selling from Mercedes.
This too had a tainted climax. But played into the larger story. And unlike most losers on the night, Nightingale needed protecting here. So had the match won, the ref distracted by Statlander and Stokely, allowing Mone to flip off the top into the Mone Maker.
And Mercedes showed here exactly why she’s so good. Remember that Riho/Willow match Mone’s first night in? When Nightingale was leaping into Riho suplexes? None of that here. Mercedes either went for the legs to ground the giant, or launched herself at her bigger foe. Everything believable, everything playing into a heated feud and the story around Mone’s ankle.
Before yet another swerve as Statlander pretended to be pissed at Stokely then laid out Nightingale before leaving with Hathaway. If your stories and characters are good, the betrayal should be rich enough that it doesn’t need the ‘shock’ of a swerve.
Anarchy in the Arena
Jack Perry was out last for the heels and did get the winning pinfall. And this began well as they all brawled to the now customary music. Darby’s theme on repeat until Matt Jackson demanded a change. Whereupon Danielson demanded they play ‘the best theme ever’ and Final Countdown kicked in.
A Darby Coffin Drop off an entrance synching perfectly with the hook, making for a dramatic visual. Until Matt demanded a cease because it was costing ‘like 200 grand’ each play and they were on a budget.
Okada brought out a ‘Rainmaker Drive’ sign as they continued to brawl around ringside. And as the match reached something like the halfway stage with Darby trying to drown Perry in a cooler backstage, I began to think I’d been a bit closed-minded – everything so far fun and entertaining.
Then the second half began. As they went eye-to-eye with OTT and fittingly took a flamethrower to it.
Starting with the Scapegoat driving a van into a pile of stuff we were told Darby Allin was inside. Not to worry, he was just fine a few minutes later.
Dax now covered in blood, though we were never shown why. As we moved to the stage. Where Danielson took a TK Driver onto the stack of casino chips. Five years ago, this was deemed a fitting culmination; here, just another spot.
Among many more to come. Perry mimicking CM Punk’s reported actions – lurching for Tony Khan across a table and dragging him to the stage (Excalibur noted the Bucks’ iron clad contracts extend to protecting Perry: it’s better than nothing). But forced to let his boss go when Allin set him on fire with a flamethrower.
The Bucks were right on hand with extinguishers. Though this spot killed the crowd either out of concern for Perry or because it finally just exhausted them. And better not be brushed off. Jack Perry and the Elite should want them some of Darby Allin.
More happened, including winching Darby upside down for several minutes, tack-embroidered clothing, Okada becoming a shoe salesman and Perry pinning Bryan Danielson. The only thing which generated any noise was a flurry of strikes and busaikus from the Dragon. Almost as if the crowd wanted to see wrestling.
Incredibly creative and daring, entertaining for large parts, it became too much both for myself and seemingly the crowd in Vegas. Who were silent for the most of the last ten minutes outside of jokingly chanting ‘Please save Darby!’ Which doesn’t suggest a crowd absorbed in the action or outcome, but people who are thinking, aware they’re taking in a spectacle rather than being taken-in by it.
PWInsider.com is reporting that Eddie Kingston is undergoing surgery on July 8 to repair the torn ACL and meniscus, an injury which he suffered at the NJPW Resurgence show on May 11.
The reason why it’s taking long to go under the knife is because Kingston also suffered a broken leg in the match and he was told that his broken leg has to heal before they can tackle the other problems, also on the same leg.
Kingston suffered the injuries when he took a suplex from the ring apron onto a waiting table but his right leg smashed the steel barricade. Kingston immediately clutched his leg and took him several minutes to get up before going through the rest of the angle with the beatdown from The Elite.
The injury knocked him out of the Anarchy in the Arena match where he was supposed to be part of Team AEW with FTR and Bryan Danielson. Darby Allin ended up taking his spot.
Kingston is looking at a full year out of action due to his injuries.
Former editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter, Matthew Belloni, reported on Puck News that the exclusive window of Warner Bros Discovery to negotiate a new television deal with AEW closes in July and AEW President Tony Khan is not happy with the current offer.
Belloni wrote that Khan is said to be “disappointed,” especially now that WBD has lost its NBA rights, freeing up more money to splash on other programming.
Once the exclusive window closes, AEW can start negotiating with other networks although Khan has often said he would prefer to stay on WBD properties.
Despite falling ratings, AEW shows remain popular and often rank high up in the weekly television charts, especially Dynamite and to a certain extent, Collision.
AEW’s current television deal with WBD is through the end of 2024.
Becky Lynch waved goodbye to fans last night and blew a kiss before she exited the ring in what could be her last match for a while.
Lynch’s contract expires on May 31 and will be officially a free agent come June 1 as she has not renewed her WWE deal.
The former champion noted a week before WrestleMania in an interview that WWE had not offered her a new deal yet and was coy about her future although she said it’s unlikely it would be her last WrestleMania.
The word going around is that Lynch will be taking a hiatus from wrestling and then return whenever she’s ready, although where remains to be seen.
Lynch, due to her popularity, can command a big-money contract and could very well end up with the biggest contract for a female in professional wrestling. Charlotte Flair currently has the biggest female contract in WWE while Mercedes Mone has the biggest female contract in AEW.
The 37-year-old has been employed by WWE since 2013.
She posted a photo of herself walking out of the arena with the words “to be continued” on social media after the show.

Monday Night Raw ended with a big twist last night as Liv Morgan locked lips with Dominik Mysterio for several seconds before the show went off the air.
Something has been brewing between the two for weeks and they got caught coming out from the same room backstage several weeks ago on TV. Liv then had Dom’s bandana in her pocket the following week, something that eagle-eyed viewers picked up on as well.
At King and Queen of the Ring, Mysterio “inadvertently” helped Morgan with the Women’s World title from Becky Lynch and he did the same last night on Raw after he was shoved into the cage door by Braun Strowman, slamming the door on Lynch’s head in the process as she was crawling out.
While the kiss was left out of the U.S. broadcast, probably due to timing issues, it aired on other Raw feeds worldwide.
Morgan approached Mysterio in the aisle and then just jumped him in a lip lock as the crowd went “ooooh!” The six-second kiss got a smile from Morgan but Mysterio no-sold it although he made no effort to get out of it.
TNT champion Adam Copeland reveled on social media that he suffered a broken tibia and will have to undergo surgery.
Copeland suffered the injury when he jumped from the top off the cage on Malakai Black but somehow, someway along the way falling down, he looked like he changed his mind about what he was about to do and eventually dropped right on his two feet, making it a very scary landing.
“So…my body pulled the emergency break on me the other night and I ended up fracturing my tibia, which is going to require surgery. Don’t know the time frame on that yet,” Copeland said in the video.
The 50-year-old is now looking at months on the sidelines and has to surrender the TNT title, something that will probably be addressed tomorrow on Dynamite.
Highlights of the King and Queen of the Ring PLE were shown.
Ludwig Kaiser is in the ring and introduced the new King of the Ring, Gunther. Before Gunther could say anything, the crowd chanted “we want Randy”. Gunther started out by saying the World championship is lacking prestige. This prompted the Judgment Day to come to the ring.
Priest started by saying we all saw, and you did not beat Randy Orton, so you didn’t earn anything. As Priest and Gunther exchanged words, Drew McIntyre comes out.
Drew gets in the ring and stares at Gunther. Drew started by talking about CM Punk, then addressed Gunther and Priest about him being the current number one contender and Gunther leaves the ring. Priest says I am not looking past you; I just know what is going to happen after we are done. Drew then says the Judgment Day keeps screwing up and he needs to focus for himself. Priest tried to get under Drew’s skin and get him to fight him. Braun Strowman interrupts. Drew McIntyre bailed out of the ring and Braun is face-to-face with Priest. Braun is out for his match with JD McDonagh.
Braun Strowman VS. JD McDonagh
Balor gets on the apron and Braun hip tosses him into the ring and as the referee is trying to get Balor out of the ring, Carlito comes running out and gets on the apron and hits Braun who turns around and pulls Carlito up by the hair and clotheslines him down. JD headbutts Braun and runs but Braun catches him in and reverses him into a power slam for the win.
Winner: Braun Strowman
After the match Finn, Carlito and JD continue to attack Braun, but Braun overpowers them, and JD gets a chair and smacks Braun across the back. Braun just turned around and smacked the chair out of JD’s hands and the Judgment Day ran to the back with Braun after them.
Cathy Kelly interviewed the new Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan who will face Becky Lynch for the title in a steel cage match tonight.
Finn and Carlito are arguing in the back and Priest said well that didn’t work and asked where JD was and they told him he was still being chased by Braun Strowman and Priest said Strowman should have been handled tonight, find JD and meet back at the clubhouse so we can talk.
Ricochet VS. Ilja Dragunov
Ricochet hit the shooting star press and was going for the pin, but Bron Breakker comes in and spears him and then Ilja tried to go after Bron and got speared as well. Adam Pearce comes in and yelled at him and Bron just laughed and walked away as Pearce follows him up the aisle. Bron then turns looked at Pearce and continued walking.
Winner by DQ: Ricochet (Although no decision was announced)
Cathy Kelly is in the back where Adam Pearce is still yelling at Bron Breakker and as Cathy tried to get a word with Adam, Kiana James walked up to Pearce and Pearce told her to go to his office he needs a drink.
The Awesome Truth was operating an ice cream truck and the New Day come in and ask if they are still having a raffle for them to get a chance at the tag team titles and The Miz said no and Truth yells we are now closed and they walk away. Karrion Kross comes in and again tries to tell Woods he wants to help him and it ended with the New Day challenging the AOP next week.
AOP VS. The Creed Brothers
AOP hit their finisher “what a rush” to get the win.
Winners: AOP
Sheamus is next to the ring. He says he can’t wait to get his hands on Ludwig Kaiser. Kaiser gets shown in the back and tells Sheamus to stop whining and Sheamus said just shut up and asked the crowd if they wanted to listen to this or should he just go get him now. Sheamus goes to the back and gets attacked by Kaiser, but Sheamus fights back, and they are now back in the arena as officials come out to break them up.
Becky Lynch tells Lyra Valkyria, Saturday did not go their way but they keep going and they keep winning or learning until its time to walk away.
Kairi Sane VS. Lyra Valkyria
Sane goes for the insane elbow but Lyra counters and pins Sane.
Winner: Lyra Valkyria
Priest comes in and Finn and Carlito are talking and asked where JD is and asked Carlito why he was there. He needs to go get ready for his match and he isn’t in the Judgment Day. Dominik comes in and Priest told JD and Finn to leave so he can talk to Dominik.
Kairi Sane and Dakota Kai walk in the locker room and Iyo Sky was sitting there and after they walk in, Iyo goes crazy, throwing the lamp breaking the coffee table and stormed out.
Carlito VS. Rey Mysterio
Finn Balor comes out and attacked Dragon Lee and Rey takes him out and back in the ring Carlito goes for the backstabber, but Rey reverses and sends Carlito into the ropes and Rey hit 619 and then the splash. Rey got the win.
Winner: Rey Mysterio
After the match the fight continued until Damian Priest comes out and gives a razor’s edge to Lee and then the South of Heaven chokeslam to Rey.
In the back, Gable asked Tozawa where he was at King and Queen of the Ring and Otis and Maxxine came in and Gable belittled them and told Otis he is going to beat Reed tonight.
Big Bronson Reed VS. Otis
As Otis was setting up Reed for the caterpillar elbow, Gable got on the apron and stopped him and then Otis ripped his Alpha Academy shirt on and was going to do it and Gable stopped him and yelled in his face and gave Reed time to recover and Reed kicked Otis and hit the Tsunami to get the win.
Winner: Big Bronson Reed
After the match, Gable demanded Otis to get back to the ring and called out Tozawa and Maxxine as well for an Alpha Academy meeting because he was tired of this.
Gable says he is going to show him discipline in front of everyone here and takes his belt off and says he doesn’t want to do this he is making him do this and told Otis to grab the rope. As he goes to swing the belt at Otis, Maxxine stops him. Gable then told Maxxine to get out of the ring and don’t come back and told Tozawa to stay there and watch as he goes to swing again Sami Zayn comes out.
Gable tells Sami to stay out of Alpha Academy business. Sami told him he is a weak little man and every time he had a chance at the Intercontinental championship, he came up short and he blamed everyone but himself for not being able to get the job done. Gable said he would have won Saturday if it wasn’t for Otis, and he went to hit Otis again and Sami grabbed his arm and took the belt off of him.
Sami asked Otis how much more he was going to take and told him to listen to the fans. Gable then attacked Sami and as Sami countered Otis pulled Sami off and Gable gave Sami a back suplex and continued to stomp and beat on Sami. As Sami laid on the mat and Gable left the ring, he told Tozawa and Otis to come and Tozawa jumped out of the ring, Otis hesitated but got out of the ring and walked to the back.

PWInsider.com is reporting that the wrestling drama television series Heels will make its debut on streaming giant Netflix on July 29.
Netflix has licensed the two seasons of the show from STARZ and there’s a possibility that the streaming service could revive the show depending on its popularity after STARZ canceled the show last year.
Starring Stephen Amell as Jack Spade and Alexander Ludwig as Ace Space in the leading roles, Heels is a story about a small, independent wrestling federation called the DWL run by two brothers and sometimes rivals.
CM Punk is also featured in both seasons while’s wife AJ Mendez is part of season two.
While season one ended with a big plot twist, season two ended with a major cliffhanger.
Last year, Wrestling-Online.com had an interview with both Amell and Ludwig to discuss the second season of the show which you can see below.
Former NJPW Strong Women’s champion Giulia is undergoing surgery on her wrist after she fractured it in a match for Marigold last week.
Speaking to Tokyo Sports, Giulia said that she will have surgery tomorrow after doctors advised that surgery is the fastest way to recover from the broken bone.
The Japanese star is expected to start with WWE in the next month or so and was rumored to be making her debut at the upcoming NXT Heatwave premium live event in Toronto on July 7. How the injury impacts her debut there remains to be seen.
She and Marigold chief Rossy Ogawa were both at NXT Stand & Deliver and were shown on camera and both stayed for WrestleMania.
Mark Henry is not renewing his AEW deal and announced on Busted Open Radio that he is departing the company once his contract expires tomorrow, May 28.
“Tony Khan said at the press conference that he was very happy and proud of what we did together. And I feel exactly the same way,” Henry said on the show, adding that he appreciates everything that happened to him there and appreciates Tony Khan and the Khan family.
“I am not gonna be renewing my deal, and I think that, you know…it’s a mutual thing. If I can’t dedicate 100% of myself then it’s only fair for both parties to end the relationship on a positive note,” he continued.
The Olympian has been signed to AEW since 2021 where he worked both as a coach and a commentator but never stepped foot in the ring as a wrestler. He has not wrestled since 2018.
In her first post-show press conference as TBS champion, Mercedes Mone claimed that AEW has “saved her life.”
She said that this company gave her new hope, new dreams, new chances, and new opportunities against a roster that is legit one of the best.
“People think that WWE is the only place, and I think tonight we showed the wrestling world that it’s not the only place,” Mone said with a happy Tony Khan next to her. “AEW is where the best wrestle.”
She put over Double or Nothing as a great show and after five years of this incredible company, they cannot be denied.
“This is the place to celebrate wrestling,” she said.
Asked why she waited until May to wrestle when she was actually cleared in December of last year, Mone said that she had been speaking with Tony Khan for a while and he came up with the idea to debut in Boston in March and then asked her if she can wait till May to debut on the fifth anniversary show.
“Bitch, I’ve been waiting for a whole year of course I can wait,” she said as Khan laughed.
The winners of the men’s and women’s Owen Hart Cup tournament will be receiving title shots at the All In show in Wembley in August.
The announcement was made last night at Double or Nothing as Tony Khan and Dr. Martha Hart appeared on stage with the Owen Hart Cup. Khan said that the finals of the tournament will take place on the July 10 episode of Dynamite in Calgary at the Scotiabank Saddledome and both winners will earn a title shot in London the following month.
All In will take place on Sunday, August 25 and tickets for the show are available at Ticketmaster.co.uk.
Adam Copeland had some assistance from an old friend last night at Double or Nothing as Gangrel, the former leader of The Brood, made a surprise appearance during the show.
In a bloody, violent barbed wire steel cage match against Malakai Black, Copeland found himself in a one vs three scenario and at one point, the lights started flashing red. A small hole in the ring started appearing and Brody King went to check it out only to be misted in the face.
Gangrel then popped up from the hole and misted Buddy Matthews as the fans went bananas. He hit a right hand on Black and then an impaler on King and Matthews. Copeland recovered and hit a spear on Black and a crossface for the victory.
Grangrel and Copeland then hugged each other in the ring for a reunion 25 years in the making.
Will Ospreay and Mercedes Mone left Las Vegas with some extra weight in their luggage: the AEW International title and the TBS title respectively.
Ospreay won his first singles title in the company when he defeated Roderick Strong in the opening bout of the pay-per-view. Ospreay, who has been portrayed as one of the company’s biggest stars ever since his arrival, won the match after a Hidden Blade and a Storm Breaker.
In her first match with the company, Mercedes Mone also defeated Willow Nightingale to become the new TBS champion. This was Mone’s first in-ring action since May 2023 when she lost to Nightingale in the inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s title match. She won the match after hitting her Money Maker finisher.
Ospreay, Mone, and Okada, who were three of the biggest free agents in the business before being scooped up by AEW, are now all champions within their first few months with the company.
Sporting a denim/leather jacket similar to Triple H’s return at Madison Square Garden in January 2002, former AEW World champion MJF made a spectacular return at Double or Nothing last night in Las Vegas.
A jacked-up MJF interrupted an Adam Cole in-ring promo and Cole asked for a hug. In return, he got a low blow and a brain buster before he cleared the ring.
MJF said that unlike many people in the back, he didn’t need New Japan or Vince McMahon to make him a star and MJF made MJF a star. The former champ said that there will be no more bullshit or kangaroo kicks and this is all about hate. The Devil mask which Cole had was still in the ring and MJF went all Nature Boy on it, dropping an elbow, saying it’s dumb and that he does not need a mask to show on what level he is.
Addressing his contractual status, MJF then told the cameraman to zoom on his calf, where he revealed a tattoo which said Bet on Yourself and the AEW logo.
“You can call me the Wolf of Wrestling because I’m not f*cking leaving,” he said to a big pop from the crowd.
The fired up MJF then posed on the turnbuckles, showing his new, lean physique.
MJF has not appeared on AEW television since the Worlds End pay-per-view in December 2023 where he lost the title to Samoa Joe.
There are a few different ways that you can get free spins at your favorite casino. If you want, read the full info here and learn all about this and so much more. These spins can be the result of many different opportunities that the online casino offers and it’s important that you make the most of them. Making the most of these free spins can mean the difference between going broke and being profitable.
Free spins as the result of a bonus round
Bonus rounds are triggered by many different things when playing online slots. You might get into the bonus rounds if you get a certain number of fruits on the screen or if you rack up enough bonus credits from spinning for quite a while. Usually, these bonus spins are pretty straightforward, and there’s not much you can do.
If you’re getting bonus spins from in-game action, the only thing you can do is spin the wheel and see what happens. You probably can’t increase your bet or the number of lines that you’re playing. If that’s the case, just go through the motions. I hope that you hit it big during the bonus rounds.
Sometimes casinos offer free spins with a deposit
Let’s say that the casino is offering ten free spins for every $100 you deposit. The question you have to ask yourself is how much you want to deposit. Of course, you should never deposit more money than you’re willing or can afford to lose. Though, if you have the money to spare, in this scenario, you’d get 50 free spins if you deposited $500. It might be worth it in the long run if you can swing the $500 just to get the number of free spins.
There is no right or wrong way to calculate your risk exposure with a bonus like this. Take a look at your bank account and see what you can stand to lose. The more you can lose, the bigger your reward could potentially be. Just remember that it’s possible to lose everything, so you don’t want to risk the farm if you’re not willing to go hungry.
The golden no-strings-attached free spins
Some will say these free spins are unicorns, but that’s not the case at all. Sometimes, a casino will offer free spins to attract new players. You might also find out that they’re offering existing players free spins that are holiday-themed. It’s not unheard of for a casino to offer up free spins as a gift. Usually, you’ll need to subscribe to their newsletter to get these spins, but that only takes a little effort. If you regularly play at the online casino, you should be signed up for the newsletter anyway so you don’t miss any bonuses.
The way you play these free spins is free and loose. They’re free spins, after all, and you might be required to spin a certain amount of times before you’re able to cash out any winnings. You’ll want to read the fine print so that you’re familiar with the terms of cashing out if you find yourself on a winning streak. Undoubtedly, there will be rules for cashing out your winnings, and you don’t want to be blindsided when trying to get your loot.
You should always treat free spins the same way
Playing conservatively with a free spin doesn’t make any sense. It makes sense if you want to stretch out your bankroll to be on the conservative side, but when it comes to free spins, that’s not the case.
