Bonus Terms Fundamentals
Read bonus eligibility, qualifying actions, expiry, restrictions, withdrawal conditions, and maximum limits before opting in.
A bonus is a contract with conditions
A headline amount is only one part of an offer. Read who qualifies, how to opt in, the qualifying deposit or action, the credited form, expiry, withdrawal conditions, and what happens if terms change.
Balances can be treated differently
Deposit funds, bonus funds, and winnings linked to bonus use may have separate rules. Learn which balance is used first and whether canceling a bonus affects related winnings.
Restrictions matter
Offers can limit eligible games, contribution rates, maximum stake, payment methods, countries, or account types. A restriction hidden behind a generic link still affects the decision and should be read before play.
Look beyond the headline
Estimate the required activity, expiry window, permitted stake, and realistic availability of eligible games. A larger headline can be less usable when conditions are narrow or time pressure is high.
Opt out when terms are unclear
Save the applicable terms and date. If the platform cannot explain a significant condition clearly, do not accept the promotion. A bonus should never justify exceeding a pre-set time or spending limit.
