Casino bonuses are great value, but they come with wagering rules. Here's the plain-language version.
The essentials
Wagering is 30x on casino. Bonus funds must be wagered 30 times before they convert to withdrawable cash (sports bets wager at 5x).
Not every game counts equally. Some slots or table games contribute less toward wagering, and some are excluded entirely. Each bonus's terms list the game weightings.
Eligibility and limits. Any minimum deposit, minimum odds, or restrictions are shown in the offer's terms before you opt in.
Time limit. Wagering must be completed within the period stated on the offer (the welcome bonus is 30 days).
Restricted games
Some games can't be played while a bonus is active. Playing a restricted game with an active bonus can void the bonus and any winnings from that play. The current list sits in each bonus's terms.
Fair play
Bonus abuse — multiple accounts, delaying rounds to dodge contribution rules, or switching to high-contribution games after a win — can void a bonus.
