You do not need a big bankroll to play online. Low minimum deposit casinos let you start with €10, €5 or even €1, which is a sensible way to test a site before trusting it with more. Here is what to know before you deposit small.
Common minimum deposit levels
- €1 deposit: rare, usually limited to specific payment methods and with no bonus.
- €5 deposit: more common, sometimes with free spins attached.
- €10 deposit: the standard minimum at most licensed casinos, and the usual threshold for welcome bonuses.
- €20 deposit: often the minimum to unlock the full welcome package.
Payment methods and minimums
The minimum often depends on how you pay. E-wallets and vouchers frequently allow smaller deposits than bank transfers, while crypto minimums vary with network fees. Compare speed, fees and limits in our payment methods guide and the e-wallet casinos overview.
Bonuses on small deposits
Check the "minimum qualifying deposit" line in the bonus terms. If the bonus needs €20 and you deposit €10, you simply will not receive it, and support rarely adds it afterwards. With small deposits, wager-free spins or low wagering offers are usually more useful than big match bonuses.
Making a small bankroll last
- Choose low stakes: €0.10–€0.20 per spin gives 50–100 spins from €10.
- Prefer low-volatility slots for longer sessions with smaller, more frequent wins.
- Pick games with a high RTP: see slot RTP explained.
- Set a loss limit and a time limit before you start.
Watch the withdrawal side
Before depositing, check the minimum withdrawal, any withdrawal fees and the verification process. A €5 deposit is pointless if the minimum cashout is €50. Our guide on withdrawing winnings covers the steps.
