The spin of the day has just taken another slide. Now it only offers free spins, no more cash prizes, and it requires multiple hits to win anything.

multiple hits? What does that mean?

It seems like you need to rake more than a penny now (it takes a few hands now of playing micro cash) but they are also throwing in some bigger prizes occasionally (I've received 3x $10 Spins tickets recently, one of them I hit a 10x multiplier with it and won ($80, 2nd got $20)

So for myself, it's actually better than it was before.

That did not happen with me. I still have cash prizes as well as spins. But in order the win the cash ones, you need 3 hits.

I thought you meant the $0.50 SPINS ticket you get each day on Stars for raking next to nothing (as in 'Spin 'n Go'). I don't play any casino games online, never accept a bonus, never spin anything. Strictly pokerzz.

And if you are from Sweden you get nothing free.

Because our government believes that gambling is worse than alcohol.
It is a little strange, that sites are not allowed to offer us freerolls, since they are a way for people with a gambling addiction to play without risking their own money. But apart from that I do kind of understand the policy. Incentives are obviously made to make people log on and play more often, so banning them is just as logical as for instance banning tobacco advertising.

It just sucks for us, that other countries dont have the same policy. Because as you say, it means, that sites spend our rake money on incentives in other markets, and therefore we are not competing on equal terms. But at least pokerstars is a safe place to play, and withdrawals are fast and very easy, since they are made to our bank accounts. Which certainly beats having to muck around with crypto currency :)

Maybe I have to play something in the casino? I've never received anything like that, or maybe I don't know where to look. Would appreciate something free that can be used.

I don't even know what that is, and I think it was never available for me.

But they ARE FREE, I suspect they're trying to get people to play in the casino, like getting them hooked, but you spin and you get out, no one will force you to play anything you don't want to.

It's been like this for me for quite some time now. :(

You don't have to play in the Casino. Just click on the Casino tab and you'll see your free spin for the day. If you win something, is yours, no strings attached.

Next time you log in, open the casino, scroll down a bit, you'll see it. It says "Spin of the day" and is orange. If It's not there, It's probably not available in your area. It's a little tricky though, for me, it only appears once a day around 2am (8pm EST).
I'll try posting a screenshot tonight if I don't forget.
That's exactly how I was asking myself questions. Something free doesn't hurt😃.

So this is how it would look if you have it :

And after you hit play, just spin and see what you can get. Once you fill up a row of stars, you win the corresponding prize :

I just spun it for the first time. I got one out of 5.

I need to hit one more of 5 and then I'm entitled to 5 spins, is that it??

Thank you Naji for the screenshots ❤️
I guess it had never looked like this for me, because I got that it's hard not to notice this spin. Now I see that via the desktop version I can't access the casino tab, it's just a black screen or an error (has to do with the providers block), and in the mobile version I don't have anything similar :( So no luck then.

Maybe u excluded urself in the past from casino games? Check this in ur settings. I think its under responsible gaming.

Thanks, it actually made me think, because I definitely clicked something about casino games, once they were introduced on PS. It was advised by other players back then, I just now don't precisely recall what it was.

But now I don't have any restrictions under responsible gambling, and I can see casino via the mobile client, so I guess, the absence of the wheel has nothing to do with whatever I clicked back then.

Sorry, I didn't articulate myself well: I meant that in the mobile version I don't see anything similar to this wheel only, I see casino there.

On the mobile App u can go straight to the poker offers-the spin appears there as well (if its available 4 u).
