Bonus guide

Casino bonuses: terms, wagering and informed choices

A bonus can have eligibility rules, expiry dates, contribution limits, and wagering conditions. Read the live terms before opting in.

Bonus guide

Read terms before opting in

Confirm who is eligible, which products count toward wagering, whether a maximum withdrawal applies, and when an offer expires.

Wagering

A requirement may apply before bonus funds can be withdrawn.

Contribution

Different games can contribute at different rates or not at all.

Expiry

An offer can expire. Avoid depositing solely to meet a deadline.

Bonus guide

Turn the terms into a decision

Compare the offer with the way you already planned to play. Record the deposit requirement, qualifying products, contribution rates, wagering amount, maximum withdrawal, and expiry before opting in. If a condition is unclear, pause and use the current account support route rather than relying on an old screenshot or a message.

Compare like with like

Do not compare a headline percentage with another offer until you have checked the qualifying deposit, maximum bonus, contribution table, and withdrawal conditions.

Keep a record

Save the current terms and note the opt-in status, expiry, and qualifying balance. This makes an account question easier to explain without sharing your password or one-time code.

Do not chase a deadline

An expiring promotion is not a reason to deposit more or increase stake size. Skip an offer when meeting its conditions would exceed your planned entertainment budget.

Bonus guide

Bonus does not reduce risk

A promotional offer is not a promise of profit or a reason to spend beyond your planned limit.

Bonus guide

Worked example: bonus math

A worked example helps you compare offers before opting in. The numbers below are illustrative; the live offer in your account may use different values. Read the live terms, not the example.

Welcome offer with rollover

Deposit 100 and receive 100 in bonus with a 35× wagering requirement on the bonus only. You would need 3,500 in qualifying wagers before the bonus balance moves to the real balance. Slot play usually contributes 100%; table games often 10%.

Free-spin winnings

A 50-spin welcome pack at 0.40 stake on named titles has a maximum gross value of 20. The winnings are usually credited to the bonus balance and carry the same wagering conditions as a cash bonus.

Maximum withdrawal cap

Some offers cap the amount that can be moved from the bonus balance to a withdrawable balance. Confirm the cap in the live terms before you deposit, not after the wagering is partly met.
