What "30 Free Spins" Really Means

A headline that reads "30 free spins, no deposit" promises a specific thing: thirty rounds on a slot game, given to you for registering an account rather than for putting money into one. That promise is genuine as far as it goes — the spins do arrive, and they do cost you nothing upfront. What the headline does not say, and what this page spends the next several sections unpacking, is everything that happens between "the spins were credited" and "the money is in your bank account." Those are two very different states, and confusing them is the single most common mistake new players make with this type of promotion.

The offer itself

A no deposit bonus comes in two common shapes. The first is the one this article is built around: free spins, a set number of rounds on particular slot games selected by the casino. The second is bonus credit — a small sum of money added to your account balance, usable on selected games. Both are awarded after registration, without an upfront cash payment from you. Some casinos grant them automatically once your account is verified; others require you to claim them, sometimes with a promotional code. The mechanics of that claiming process matter enough that they get their own section later in this article.

The appeal is straightforward. A no deposit promotion is presented as a way to try the casino’s games and potentially win something without risking your own funds. You register, you receive thirty spins, you play them, and whatever happens, your own money has stayed in your pocket throughout. If the games are not to your taste, you have lost nothing but a few minutes of registration paperwork. If they are, you have learned that at no cost.

That framing is accurate, and it is also the reason the number in the headline deserves a closer look.

Thirty spins, but thirty of what?

Free spins are not vouchers for cash. They are rounds on a specific slot — or a small group of slots — chosen by the operator, not by you. When a casino grants thirty spins, it is granting thirty plays of a designated game at a stake the casino has also designated. You do not choose the slot, and you do not choose how much each spin is worth.

This is worth pausing on, because it changes what the promotion actually is. Thirty spins is not thirty pounds, or thirty of any other currency. It is a fixed amount of playtime on a fixed game at a fixed stake. Whether that amounts to much depends on details that sit in the terms — which game, what stake per spin, what the game’s payout behaviour is — and those details are covered further down this page. The headline number is the least informative part of the offer, which is of course why it is the part printed largest.

What you actually receive

Here is the part that separates an honest description from a marketing one. When you win during a free spins promotion, those winnings are normally credited as bonus funds rather than cash.

The distinction matters more than it sounds. Cash in your account balance is yours: you can play it, withdraw it, or walk away with it. Bonus funds are a separate balance, held apart, and it comes with strings attached. Before any of it can be withdrawn, it is typically subject to wagering requirements — a multiple of the bonus amount that must be bet on eligible games first. There may also be limits on how much can be withdrawn from bonus winnings, restrictions on which games count, and expiry dates after which unused bonus funds disappear. A later section of this article works through those conditions in detail, including what the numbers actually translate to in practice, because they decide whether an offer is generous or decorative.

None of this makes the promotion a bad deal. It costs you nothing, and "nothing" is a hard price to beat. But it does mean that the mental image most people carry — register, spin, win, withdraw — has a missing step in the middle, and that step is where most of the disappointment in online casino reviews tends to originate.

Why casinos give spins away

A brief word on the other side of the transaction, because it explains the shape of the offer. A no deposit bonus is an acquisition cost. The casino is paying for your attention in the hope that some portion of registered players stay, deposit, and keep playing. That is not a conspiracy; it is a business model, and an entirely legal one when the operator holds a UK licence — which, for any site taking customers in Great Britain, is not optional. It does mean, though, that the offer is designed to bring you in the door, not to hand you money on the way out. The terms reflect that purpose.

This is also why the number of spins varies so much between operators, and why some casinos offer no deposit promotions while others prefer deposit-based welcome packages. The size of the giveaway is calibrated against what the operator expects to recover from players who stay. Thirty is a middle-of-the-road figure: large enough to feel substantial, small enough to keep the operator’s exposure limited.

The terminology this page uses

Because the rest of this article compares offers, operators and conditions, a few terms need to be pinned down now.

No deposit bonus. Any promotion awarded without an upfront deposit — free spins, bonus credit, or occasionally bonus cash. The defining feature is the absence of an initial payment from you, not the absence of conditions.

Free spins. A set number of rounds on particular slot games. Free spins are a form of no deposit bonus when granted without a deposit, but they also appear inside deposit-based welcome packages — the two should not be assumed to be the same animal.

Bonus funds. The balance your free spin winnings typically land in. Playable on eligible games, but not withdrawable until the attached conditions are met.

Wagering requirements. The multiple of the bonus that must be bet before withdrawal. This is the single most important number in any offer’s terms, and the reason "free" and "withdrawable" are not synonyms.

With those terms in place, the next section looks at how a no deposit offer is actually activated — what happens between clicking "register" and seeing the spins appear in your account, including verification and the cases where a code is required.

How No-Deposit Casino Offers Are Activated

A 30 free spins no deposit UK offer sounds like something that simply arrives. In practice, there is a short but specific route between seeing the promotion and actually having the spins sitting in your account. Understanding that route matters for two reasons. First, it saves you the frustration of completing registration only to find the spins were never credited. Second, it tells you early on whether the offer exists at all in the form advertised — some promotions that look automatic on the landing page turn out to require a step the page never mentioned.

Registration comes first

No deposit bonuses are normally credited after registration and account verification, or claimed using a promotional code. Whichever route a particular casino takes, the starting point is the same: you need an account, opened with the operator itself rather than through any third-party page that displays the offer.

Registration at a UK-licensed casino is not a two-field form. Because operators must verify who their customers are before processing withdrawals — and, in most cases, before allowing meaningful play — you will be asked for your name, date of birth, address and contact details up front. The legal gambling age in the UK is 18, and no operator licensed by the Gambling Commission can waive that, so the date of birth field is not decorative.

It is worth being accurate here rather than creative. Details that do not match your identity documents will surface later, at verification, and a mismatch at that stage is a far slower problem to fix than a typo corrected at registration.

Verification: the step that actually releases the offer

Account verification is where many players expect the spins and find nothing. Operators are required to confirm a customer’s identity before a withdrawal is processed, and many casinos run basic checks at or shortly after registration regardless. These checks are usually done electronically against existing records, so in the normal case you will not need to upload anything — the system matches your details and the account moves to "verified" without you noticing.

Occasionally the electronic check fails. Common reasons include a recent change of address, a name format that differs between documents, or simply thin data trails. At that point the casino will ask for documents: proof of identity, proof of address, sometimes proof of payment method. This is not the operator being difficult. It is the same process that later protects your withdrawals, and going through it once at the start is cheaper than going through it under pressure while waiting for money.

A no deposit bonus that is "credited after verification" will not appear until this step completes. If you registered, saw no spins, and logged out — that may be the entire explanation.

Automatic credit, opt-in, or a code

Once the account exists and is verified, activation takes one of three forms:

• Automatic. The spins or bonus credit appear in your account without any action from you. This is the most common pattern for registration-based no deposit offers, and it is the one most people picture when they read the promotion’s headline.
• Opt-in. The offer sits in your account menu or a promotions tab with a button you must press before it activates. The casino’s logic is straightforward: it only pays for the offer when a customer actively wants it. Your logic should be equally straightforward: check the promotions tab before concluding the offer was a fabrication.
• Promotional code. A code — sometimes displayed on the casino’s own page, sometimes distributed through the channel that told you about the offer — must be entered during registration or in the account’s bonus section. Miss the field, and the spins do not arrive, even though every other condition was met.

Which of the three applies is stated in the promotion’s terms, and a well-presented offer says so beside the headline rather than three clicks deep.

One per person, and the details that enforce it

Eligibility for these offers is typically restricted to one bonus per person or household. That restriction is not enforced on trust. Operators cross-check names, addresses, payment methods, device identifiers and IP data, and a second account opened to claim the same offer a second time is the classic route to having both accounts closed and winnings withheld.

Two practical consequences follow. If someone in your household has already claimed the offer at a given casino, the terms may exclude you as well — check before registering rather than after. And if an offer is genuinely aimed at new customers, that restriction is doing exactly what it says; it is not an obstacle to work around.

Where offers can quietly fail to activate

A few situations account for most "I never got my spins" complaints, and none of them involve bad luck:

• registering through a page that links to a different promotion than the one displayed;
• skipping verification, or not completing a document request;
• missing an opt-in button that was never on the landing page;
• overlooking a code field at sign-up;
• already holding an account with that operator, sometimes under an old email address.

Every one of these is checkable in advance, and none requires more than a few minutes of attention.

The pattern worth taking from all of this is simple: activation is a sequence, and each step in it — registration, verification, opt-in or code — is a place where the offer can stop. Casinos that present their promotions clearly tell you the sequence up front. The rest leave you to discover it, which is itself a small piece of information about how that operator treats its customers.

Finding a 30-Free-Spins Offer That Fits Your Play

Search for a 30 free spins deal at a UK online casino and you will quickly notice that the headline number is the only thing the various offers have in common. One casino attaches thirty spins to a welcome package that only opens after you fund your account. Another credits them purely for signing up. A third skips spins altogether and adds bonus credit you can spend on a small selection of games instead. Before comparing operators, it helps to work out which of these structures you are actually looking at, because the number 30 tells you almost nothing on its own.

Three structures, one headline

Spins tied to a deposit. The most common shape is a welcome bonus where the thirty spins arrive alongside your first deposit. The spins themselves may be genuinely free — you are not paying per spin — but the promotion as a whole sits behind a payment. If your goal is to play without putting money down first, this version does not qualify, however prominently the casino displays the number.

Spins with no deposit. This is the version most people picture when they hear “no deposit”. The casino awards the thirty spins once your account is set up, without an upfront payment from you. It is a genuine starting point for trying the site’s slot games, but it comes with the tightest strings. No deposit bonuses commonly carry wagering requirements, withdrawal caps, eligible-game restrictions and short expiry dates — the last of which is worth underlining, because no deposit promotions often expire within 24 hours to seven days. Thirty spins are of no use to you if the promotion lapses before you get around to using them.

Bonus credit instead of spins. Some operators prefer to give a small sum of bonus credit rather than a fixed batch of spins. Bonus credit is a small amount added to your account balance for use on selected games. On the surface this looks more flexible — you choose how to spend it, within the eligible list — but it behaves like spins in the ways that matter: it is not withdrawable cash, and it is subject to the same category of conditions. Whether you prefer a fixed batch of spins or a small balance to allocate yourself is a matter of playing style, not value.

Matching the offer to how you actually play

The right structure depends less on the size of the number and more on your habits.

If you play mainly on your phone, check how the offer is presented on mobile before anything else. A casino promoting 30 free spins on its desktop site should display the same promotion — with its terms — in its mobile app or mobile site. Where the two diverge, treat the mismatch as a signal about how carefully the operator manages its promotions generally.

If you are trying a new casino rather than a new account at a familiar one, the no deposit version has obvious appeal: it lets you sample the slot games before committing money. Read the eligible-games list first, though. Free spins are usually restricted to specific titles, and a promotion built around a game you do not enjoy is not much of an invitation. A spins offer locked to one nominated slot suits players who like a directed introduction; bonus credit suits players who would rather browse.

If you already intend to deposit, the deposit-linked version may simply be the more substantial of the two. Welcome packages that bundle spins with a funded account often carry conditions that are, if anything, easier to satisfy, because the operator has less reason to guard against people who sign up, claim and leave.

What the number does not tell you

A casino advertising 30 free spins is advertising a quantity, not a value. What sits beside that quantity — which games the spins work on, what happens to winnings from free spins, how long the promotion stays open — is what separates an offer that fits your play from one that does not. Two casinos can promote the same thirty spins, and one can be worth your registration while the other is not.

That is also why the "best" offer is not a fixed answer. A player who wants to test a mobile casino for a few evenings has different needs from a player who has already decided to deposit and simply wants the most play for it. The first should look for a no deposit promotion with an expiry window that matches their actual schedule — if you only play at weekends, a promotion that expires within a day of registration is functionally worthless to you. The second should compare deposit-linked welcome packages on their full terms rather than their spin counts.

A final habit worth adopting: when you see a 30 free spins headline, look immediately at what surrounds it. An operator that displays its promotional conditions plainly is telling you something about itself; one that buries them is telling you the same thing. The next section covers what to verify at the operator level before you commit — but the offer structure comes first, because no licence check rescues a promotion that was never shaped for the way you play.

UK Casinos Offering Free Spins: What to Check First

Once you know what kind of 30-spin promotion you are looking at, the next question is whether the casino behind it deserves your sign-up at all. The spins are the bait; the operator is the product. A short checklist applied before registration saves more disappointment than any number of advertised bonuses.

Confirm the licence first

Any casino offering online slots to customers in Great Britain must hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and operating without one is a criminal offence. This is not a formality. The Commission maintains a public register of operating and personal licences, and you can verify a casino in a couple of minutes by searching the operator name or licence number and confirming that the domain listed there matches the site you are on. If the register entry and the web address do not line up, close the tab.

Check who the offer is actually for

Most free spins promotions, including the ones advertised as requiring no deposit, are written for new customers only, and eligibility is typically restricted to one bonus per person or household. Two practical consequences follow. First, if you already hold an account with the operator — or someone in your household does — the spins may simply not be yours to claim. Second, a "no deposit" label does not mean "no conditions"; it means no upfront cash, with everything else attached in the terms.

Read what sits next to the offer

A casino that presents its promotions fairly puts the significant conditions directly beside the offer rather than burying them in fine print. Before you register, look for these stated plainly:

• Wagering requirements. Winnings from free spins are usually credited as bonus funds subject to wagering before withdrawal, so the multiplier matters as much as the spin count. According to a specialist casino review, the UK Gambling Commission has officially capped bonus wagering requirements at 10x as of 19 January 2026 — a change worth confirming against the operator’s own terms, since older offers and listings may not reflect it.
• Max cashout limits. Some promotions cap the amount you can withdraw from bonus winnings, and the cap can be far below what a lucky session produces.
• Eligible games. Free spins are usually restricted to specific slots. Thirty spins are worth nothing to you if they run on a game you cannot access or dislike.
• Expiry dates. No-deposit promotions commonly expire within a short window — often within days of being credited. Spins you never use are not a bonus.

If any of these are missing from the promotion page, treat that absence as information in itself. Operators are expected to display wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, expiry dates and eligible games clearly alongside the offer, not in a footnote three clicks away.

Treat "no wagering" claims with a cool head

Some listings advertise no-wager offers as letting players keep 100% of their winnings — the framing comes from a specialist casino review rather than from any guarantee that applies across the market. Where such an offer is genuine, the trade-off is usually visible elsewhere: fewer spins, a deposit requirement, or a lower cap on what you can withdraw. Read the whole promotion, not the headline.

The pattern to carry forward is simple: a trustworthy casino makes the checks above easy, and a questionable one makes them hard. The next section looks at what happens once the spins are credited — and how a welcome offer differs from the real-money play that follows it.

Welcome Bonuses, Real-Money Play and the Cost of the Offer

A 30 free spins welcome bonus and a cash promotion are different products wearing similar advertising. Knowing which one you are looking at changes what the offer is actually worth.

Spins or cash — two different currencies

A welcome package built around free spins gives you a set number of spins on particular slot games. The spins themselves have no cash value you can withdraw: their only purpose is to generate play on the reels. Bonus credit works differently — it is a small sum added to your account balance, usable on selected games. It looks like money and sits in a balance, but it comes with its own restrictions on where it can be spent.

The headline "30 free spins" tells you the shape of the reward, not its value. One operator review site sets out the arithmetic plainly: multiply the number of spins by the value of each spin. Ten spins at £1.00 each are worth £10; the same ten spins at a lower per-spin value are worth correspondingly less. A larger number of spins at a smaller per-spin stake can be worth less than a smaller batch at a higher stake — which is why the number 30 in an advert is the start of the calculation, not the end of it.

What happens to winnings

This is where free spins and real money diverge. Winnings from free spins are usually awarded as bonus funds, subject to wagering requirements before anything can be withdrawn. In other words, a win during your spins does not land in your pocket — it lands in a separate balance that has to be unlocked through further play.

Some promotions are advertised as no-wager offers. One casino review site describes these as letting players keep 100% of their winnings, with nothing to unlock before withdrawal. Where that structure genuinely exists, it is a materially better deal — but it is also rarer, and the phrase "no wagering" is sometimes applied loosely in marketing. The terms attached to the specific offer, not the banner, decide.

Why bonus funds are not income

The uncomfortable part, and the part most adverts skip: a no deposit bonus is not a route to money. The value is capped by the structure of the offer — spins generate bonus funds, bonus funds carry requirements, and requirements mean most of the credited amount never becomes cash. Anyone treating a 30 free spins sign up bonus as expected income is working from the wrong premise. It is a way to play real slot games without staking your own funds first, and that is the full extent of the claim.

When you compare a 30 free spins joining bonus against a deposit-based cash promotion, the honest comparison is between what each is for: the spins offer buys you play and a chance; the cash offer, when it is real money rather than bonus credit, buys you a balance you control from the start. Neither is free money, and any operator presenting bonus funds as though they were is either being sloppy or hoping you will not read the terms.

Read the offer as a product with a price — time, wagering and game restrictions — rather than as a prize. That framing is what separates a realistic assessment of a 30 free spins real money casino promotion from the version the advert wants you to believe.

What New Players Should Expect After Joining

Once you have opened an account at a UK casino, the path from sign-up to spinning the reels is short but not instant. Knowing the order of steps — and where the 30 free spins actually appear — saves the most common new-customer frustration: expecting a bonus that has not been credited yet.

From account opening to credited spins

Registration comes first. You cannot receive a casino sign-up bonus of 30 free spins before the casino has an account to attach it to, so the process always begins with your details: name, date of birth, address and contact information.

What happens next depends on how the operator runs its new player bonus. There are three common patterns:

• Automatic crediting. The spins land in your account once registration is complete, with no further action from you.
• Opt-in. You must tick a box or flip a switch in your account settings before the bonus is released.
• A promotional code. You enter a code during sign-up or in the promotions section, and the spins arrive after it is accepted.

The same 30 free spins can sit behind any of these doors, and the terms beside the offer should tell you which one applies. If nothing is credited and no opt-in or code is mentioned, contact support before assuming the offer is broken.

Playing the eligible slots

Once credited, your spins will not work across the whole casino. Free spins grant a set number of rounds on particular slot games, chosen by the operator, and they are usually restricted to specific titles. Open a different slot and the spins simply will not be there.

This restriction is not a technical fault — it is how the promotion is priced. A new customer offer built around named games lets the operator control the cost, so check which slots are eligible before you plan your session.

A joining incentive, not a standing offer

It is worth drawing one line clearly: what you get for joining is a one-time incentive. It exists because you are a new customer, and once used, it does not repeat. Ongoing promotions — weekly rewards, cashback, or spins tied to regular play — follow different rules and usually require separate opt-ins each time.

Treat the sign-up reward as an introduction to the casino’s games, not as the first instalment of a recurring benefit. Expecting the same deal again next week is the fastest way to be disappointed by a perfectly standard offer.

Wagering, Eligible Slots and Withdrawal Conditions

The spins arrive in your account; the money, for now, does not. Winnings from free spins are usually awarded as bonus funds, and bonus funds come with wagering requirements (WR) attached before anything can be withdrawn.

What the multiplier actually costs you

A wagering requirement is a multiplier applied to the bonus, telling you how much you must bet before the funds become withdrawable cash. The maths is simple, which is presumably why it is buried in the small print:

• A 40x requirement on a £5 bonus means bets totalling £200 before withdrawal.
• A 30x requirement on a £10 bonus means £300 in eligible betting before withdrawal.

Run the numbers before you play, not after. A requirement that looks modest on screen can translate into a betting total several times larger than anything you won from the spins themselves.

Eligible slots

Free spins are usually restricted to specific games — the promotion names them, and spins used elsewhere simply do not count. The same logic extends to wagering: not every game contributes equally to clearing the requirement, and a slot that contributes fully to one promotion may contribute a fraction to another. Check which games your spins are locked to before you start, and which games count towards the rollover afterwards. These are not always the same list.

Expiry

No deposit promotions commonly expire within 24 hours to seven days. That clock usually starts when the spins are credited, not when you first use them. An offer that sits unused while you get round to it can lapse entirely, taking the winnings with it.

Max cashout limits

Even after the requirement is cleared, a maximum withdrawal limit may cap what you can take out. Under UK rules, any operator advertising a no deposit bonus must display wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, expiry dates, eligible games and contribution rates clearly alongside the offer — not hidden a click deep in the terms. If you cannot find those numbers next to the promotion itself, treat that as information too.

One more condition worth knowing: bets placed with bonus funds are capped, and winnings above the cap are typically forfeited. The terms are not decoration. Read them the way you would read a contract that involves your money, because that is what they are.

When a Casino Requires a Promo Code

Most 30 free spins offers in the UK credit the spins on their own once you have registered and completed verification. A smaller group works differently: the spins sit behind a promotional code, and the casino will not release them until that code has been entered in the right place at the right time. Neither route changes the value of the offer — it only changes how you claim it.

How code-based activation works

When a 30 free spins casino promo code is required, the code usually appears on the promotion page or in the email that confirms your registration. You then enter it in one of a few places:

• in a promo code box on the registration form itself;
• in the deposit screen, even when the offer needs no deposit;
• in the promotions section of your account, sometimes under an opt-in or claim button.

The timing matters more than the location. Some casinos accept a code only during sign-up, and if you skip the field, the offer cannot be added later from your account settings. If you cannot find the field, live chat can tell you whether the code can still be applied — worth asking before you write the offer off.

Where codes actually come from

Codes are usually run through the casino’s own promotions page, its email list, or affiliate partners that advertise the deal. If a code you find online is rejected, the usual reasons are that it has expired, it applies only to a specific landing page, or it is restricted to new customers — one per person or household. In each case the rejection is not a glitch; the eligibility rules simply do not cover your account.

Why the code is only part of the job

Entering the code correctly does not guarantee the spins stay yours. No deposit promotions commonly expire within 24 hours to seven days, so a code claimed late can lead to a bonus that lapses before you use it. Before you rely on the spins, check the promotion’s own terms for expiry, the eligible games and the conditions attached to winnings — the code unlocks the offer, but the terms decide what it is worth.

A code, in short, is a step, not a shortcut. Treat it as the first check on a claim, not the last.

New Players and Existing Customers: Different Offers

Most 30 free spins promotions are built for new customers. That is not a quirk of any single operator — it is how the marketing works. A casino spends money on a bonus to acquire a player, not to reward someone who already has an account. If you have registered at a site before, held an account in the same household, or claimed a welcome package there already, a second bite at the same offer is normally off the table.

The restriction usually runs along these lines:

• one bonus per person, household or shared IP address
• the offer applies only to first-time registrations
• an account that has already claimed a sign-up bonus is excluded

So if you are looking for 30 free spins for new players, the deal you find will almost certainly be tied to your first account at that specific casino. Opening a second account to claim it again breaches the terms and gives the operator grounds to withhold winnings.

What about existing customers?

Established account holders are not left with nothing, but what they get works differently. Instead of a registration bonus, recurring offers tend to require some form of commitment — an opt-in, a minimum amount wagered, or both, repeated on a schedule.

One documented example: according to a review of the operator’s own promotion, Grosvenor Casino gives existing customers five free spins daily, provided they opt in each week and wager at least £10 on a slot game. The spins arrive because of ongoing play, not because of when the account was opened.

That is the pattern worth remembering when comparing offers. A search for 30 free spins for existing customers will mostly return either new-customer deals mislabelled in headlines, or recurring promotions where the spin count depends on activity. Treat the headline number with the same scrutiny you would apply to a welcome bonus: the eligibility line decides whether the offer exists for you at all.

Play More, Get More Spins: How Triggered Rewards Work

Not every free spins promotion is handed over at the sign-up stage. A second category works the other way round: you play first, and the spins arrive once your own money has done the qualifying. Search for a deal described as stake a tenner for thirty spins, or twenty pounds for the same reward, and this is the mechanic behind the headline.

The structure is simple. The casino sets a threshold of real-money play on selected games — most often slot games — and credits the reward once that threshold is reached. Free spins granted this way still land on particular titles chosen by the operator, not on anything you fancy, so the game restriction is part of the deal from the start.

This is where the advertising deserves a harder look. A spins reward presented as a bonus for newcomers can read as a gift when it is, in fact, a return on a stake you have already paid. One widely cited casino review reports that Betfred offers up to 200 free spins after a newcomer stakes £10 on casino games — a headline number that only makes sense next to the £10 requirement attached to it. Read the reward and the required stake together, and the offer becomes a purchase with a bonus attached rather than something for nothing.

That framing matters for two practical reasons. First, the money you stake to trigger the reward is gone whether the spins pay off or not; there is no refund if the qualifying play loses. Second, the reward itself is usually credited as bonus funds after use, which means the withdrawal conditions covered earlier in this article still stand between the spins and your bank account.

The comparison worth making before you opt in is blunt: divide the value of the spins by what you must stake to get them. If that sum looks unattractive as a straightforward purchase, the "free" label is doing the persuasion, not the numbers.
