Glossary terms in this tip
- Wagering requirementThe total amount a player must stake before bonus funds — and any winnings from them — become withdrawable.
- Max bet during wageringA cap on the per-spin or per-bet stake while a bonus is active — designed to prevent players from clearing wagering with a few large bets.
- Contribution ratesThe percentage of each bet that counts toward clearing a bonus's wagering requirement — varying by game type.
- Bonus expiryThe deadline by which bonus funds must be wagered or used — after which the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited.
