Crypto free spins: what a spin is worth after wagering

Free spins let you play a named slot at a set stake without using your balance. What they are worth depends on the value per spin, the slot's RTP and the wagering on whatever you win.

Short answer

How much are crypto free spins worth?

Before wagering, about the spin value × the number of spins × the slot's RTP. Wagering on the winnings then takes a share of that, so no-wagering spins are worth more than a larger number with 35x or more. Check the spin value: it is often the lowest stake.
