Bonus Terms Explained
No more guessing what the fine print means — here's a plain-English decoder for every major bonus term you'll encounter
💰 Wagering Requirement / Rollover
This is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount (sometimes bonus + deposit) before you're allowed to withdraw bonus-derived winnings. If an offer says "X10 rollover," you must wager the bonus 10 times total before cashout is unlocked.
Example: You receive a ₱1,000 bonus with x15 wagering requirement. You must place ₱15,000 in total bets before you can withdraw. A ₱500 bet on a slot counts as ₱500 toward that ₱15,000 target.
🎯 Maximum Bet During Bonus
Most platforms cap how much you can bet per spin or hand while you're using bonus funds. This prevents players from bypassing wagering by placing one massive single bet. The cap is usually set per the casino's terms.
Example: Maximum bet while using bonus funds is ₱250 per spin. If you bet ₱500 on a slot while bonus funds are active, the bonus may be voided entirely — even if that spin won.
🎮 Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally to your wagering requirement progress. Slots typically contribute 100% — every ₱100 you bet on a slot moves the counter by ₱100. Table games like blackjack or baccarat often contribute only 10%–20%.
Example: You bet ₱1,000 on baccarat (20% contribution) — only ₱200 counts toward your ₱15,000 wagering target. The same ₱1,000 on a slot game counts as the full ₱1,000.
⏱️ Bonus Expiry Window
Bonuses are only valid for a set period after they are credited. If you don't complete the wagering requirement within that window, the bonus and any associated winnings are usually cancelled automatically.
Example: A bonus credited on January 1 with a 14-day expiry must be fully wagered by January 15. Common windows you'll see: 7 days, 14 days, 30 days. Check before claiming.
🔒 Sticky vs. Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus stays locked in your account and cannot be withdrawn — only the winnings generated from it are cashable once wagering is complete. A non-sticky bonus gets separated from your deposit, and you can withdraw the original deposit anytime while the bonus plays separately.
Example (Sticky): ₱500 sticky bonus + you win ₱3,000. After wagering, you can cash out ₱3,000 but not the original ₱500 bonus.
Example (Non-sticky): ₱500 non-sticky bonus added alongside your ₱1,000 deposit. You can withdraw your ₱1,000 anytime; the ₱500 bonus continues rolling over separately.
🏧 Maximum Cash-Out from Bonus
Even after completing wagering requirements, some bonuses cap the total amount you can withdraw from bonus-originated winnings. This is the maximum cash-out clause — any winnings above this ceiling are forfeited.
Example: A no-deposit bonus has a max cash-out of ₱2,000. You completed wagering and have ₱8,500 in bonus winnings — you can only withdraw ₱2,000. Always check this limit before grinding a bonus.
Practical Advice:
Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus. The few minutes spent reading can save you from unexpected wagering hurdles or forfeited winnings.
