Bonus terms

Casino Bonus Terms Explained

A casino bonus is a set of conditions, not free money. The headline is only one part of the information needed to decide whether an offer fits a planned entertainment budget.

This page is general information only. It does not provide personal legal, financial or gambling advice, and it does not promise a gambling result.

Read a bonus as a complete rule set

Eligibility, qualifying actions, wagering, game contribution, maximum bet rules, expiry and withdrawal restrictions can all affect the practical meaning of an offer.

A large number in a headline does not tell you whether the conditions are suitable or achievable.

Wagering and game contribution

A wagering requirement should be read with the calculation base, eligible games, contribution rate and deadline. Different games may count differently or not at all.

A familiar game should never be assumed to be eligible without checking the actual terms.

Maximum bets and expiry

A maximum bet rule may limit the amount used while an offer applies. An expiry rule can end access to an offer or related balance after a stated period.

Read these details before opting in rather than after a dispute or a pressured decision.

Keep the boundary separate

Terms may include conversion, verification or withdrawal-related conditions. They do not guarantee a person will complete wagering or receive a particular result.

Do not increase time or spending merely to qualify for, complete or recover the value of a promotion.
