Welcome bonus

A first-deposit promotion offered to new account holders — typically a percentage match on the initial deposit and sometimes paired with free spins.

In detail

A typical UK welcome bonus today looks like '100% up to £100' with 10x wagering on the bonus amount, a 7-30 day expiry, and a £5 max bet during wagering. Compare welcome bonuses on three numbers: bonus percentage, wagering multiplier and expiry window. A smaller match with a shorter expiry and lower wagering can be worth more than a larger match with worse terms.
