AS an experienced online gambler, I cannot overstate the appeal of cashback bonuses.
Many of the leading casinos now feature such offers. In my opinion, there are a number of benefits that come with cashback bonuses.
Of course, the chance to claim back money that would otherwise be lost is hugely attractive.
However, I have also found promotions that come with realistic terms and conditions, including maximum cashback, eligible games and mobile access.

On this page, I will deliver my favourite cashback bonuses available to players in the UK from operators we currently work with.
My top casinos for cashback bonuses from our select partners
1. Duelz - Best overall
I certainly enjoyed my experience at Duelz. The casino dates back to 2018 and I was particularly impressed with their range of promotions. A weekly cashback offer was up for grabs every Friday. As such, I was able to claim 10% cashback on my weekly spend. You can earn as little as £0.10 back, with the lack of terms and conditions having been something I was also pleased with. It is such factors that mean that Duelz comes in at no.1 when I was ranking cashback casinos.
- My overall experience score - 4.6 out of 5
2. Magic Red - Best for recurring cashback
My favourite casino for recurring cashback offers is Magic Red. I found that cashback is available through the casino’s live dealer program. Cashback is delivered every weekend, based on losses from live casino games. While a minimum deposit and promo code are required in order to qualify, I found the lack of additional terms and conditions refreshing.
- My overall experience score - 4.5 out of 5
3. All British Casino - Best cashback welcome bonus
While I was drawn to All British Casino due to its 100% deposit bonus initially, I quickly realised that 10% cashback was also available to new players. With no wagering requirements, cashback is delivered in real money. However, I did find that in order to claim cashback, my balance needed to be under £10.
- My overall experience score - 4.5 out of 5
4. Hotstreak Slots - Best for slots bonuses
When signing up at Hotstreak, I found myself in a position to take advantage of a first deposit bonus worth up to £200 in cashback. A deposit of at least £50 is needed in order to qualify. From there, I was able to claim 10% cashback on net losses from my deposit, up to £200. Stakes on both Blackjack and Roulette do not qualify, making this an attractive bonus for slots players in particular.
- My overall experience score - 4.4 out of 5
5. Spinzwin - Best recurring promotions
There is certainly no shortage of promotions at Spinzwin. This added to my experience with the casino. Cashback weekends feature, meaning that you can win up to £500 in returns. I was required to opt-in and deposit at least £25 in order to qualify. While only being available on selected games, the maximum cashback of £500 will appeal to many. When reading the bonus terms and conditions, I found that Skrill deposits were not eligible.
- My overall experience score - 4.4 out of 5
What I look for in cashback casino sites in the UK
Given the number of cashback bonuses now available in the UK, it is not always easy to choose between the casinos offering them. However, before signing up on any site, I ensure that a casino delivers in the following areas:
- Licensing - In order to legally operate in the UK, a casino must hold a licence from the Gambling Commission. This is the first thing that I look out for when entering an online casino.
- Security - There is nothing worse than having your personal details compromised. As such, I also consider the safety features used by casinos. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and firewall technology are in place on the majority of the best sites.
- Payment method variety - When depositing and withdrawing money, it is nice to have a range of payment methods to choose from. I find e-wallets to be hugely convenient. However, be sure that they are eligible for cashback bonuses first.
- Other bonuses besides cashback - Of course, I have focused on cashback bonuses on this page. However, a host of additional promotions are also available online today. These include free spins, reload bonuses, prize draws and VIP/loyalty rewards.
- Mobile app - Many of the best online casinos in the UK now come with a downloadable app. In my experience, apps are easier and quicker to use than mobile casino websites.

How I make the most of cashback casino bonuses - my tips and tricks
Below, I have listed my expert tips, designed to help players make the most out of cashback bonuses:
- Consider the cashback rate - You will probably do this anyway, but look at the percentage of cashback on offer. If 1% cashback is available, the promotion will not appeal as much as a casino offering 10%.
- Read the small print - While generally being simple, I still found that this type of offer comes with terms and conditions. So, before signing up and depositing, I suggest reading the bonus terms and conditions in full.
- Play eligible games - You may find that selected games are ineligible when it comes to claiming cashback. This is one of the most important conditions to consider in my opinion. For example, table games do not qualify on some casino sites that I have tested.
- Withdraw cashback quickly - While funds will not go anywhere, I recommend withdrawing cashback ASAP. This will give your bank balance a boost.
- Be responsible - Remember to only bet what you can afford to lose. I do this even knowing that I will receive cashback. It is important to remain responsible at all times.
