So I noticed Funrize kept sending me these promo codes in emails after I’d been playing there a few months. Figured hey, free money right? But when I tried using ’em, nothing happened. Got annoyed and almost gave up.
Where I Went Wrong At First
Logged in last Tuesday like usual, went straight to deposits page like always. Saw the “Promo Code” box under the cashier section – thought that’s where it goes. Typed in “SPIN25” exactly how it showed in the email. Hit apply… crickets. Just said “Invalid or expired.” Tried two more codes with the same damn result.
The Trick That Actually Works
Turns out existing members gotta do this BEFORE adding cash. Here’s what finally worked:
- First logged out completely even though I was frustrated
- Went back to the homepage but DIDN’T log in yet
- Scrolled to bottom and clicked “Promotions” section
- Found the “SPIN25” offer listing there with tiny text saying “Active players only”
- Copied the code directly from THAT page, not my email
- THEN logged into my existing account
- Immediately went to Deposit page, pasted code BEFORE selecting payment method
- Finally saw the “Promo Applied! +$25” green message pop up
Bonus Findings
After I got it working, tested three other codes same way. Realized two things:
- Weekend codes always have lower wagering requirements
- Must deposit at least $20 to trigger any free spins deals
- Slots-only promos won’t show as active if you’re browsing table games first
Lost the $25 bonus on roulette in like 15 minutes lol. But hey, wasn’t my real cash. Just glad I cracked how to actually use these things as regular member.
