Bonus Terms
Explained Simply
Online casino bonuses can look confusing at first — especially with terms like "rollover," "sticky bonus," and "game contribution" floating around. Here's a plain-English breakdown so you know exactly what you're signing up for before you click "Claim."
Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus. Bonus rules can vary per promotion — knowing what applies protects your withdrawal rights.
Wagering Requirement / Rollover
This is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw the bonus (or winnings from it). A 15x wagering requirement means you bet the bonus value 15 times over.
Example: You receive a ₱1,000 bonus with a 15x rollover. You must place ₱15,000 in total bets (15 × ₱1,000) before any withdrawal is allowed. A 20x rollover would require ₱20,000 in total wagers.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
While using bonus funds, casinos typically cap your bet size — usually between ₱250 and ₱500 per spin or hand. Exceeding this limit can void your bonus and any winnings tied to it.
Example: If the max bet rule is ₱300 per spin, placing a ₱500 spin while bonus funds are active may disqualify your bonus entirely.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally toward clearing your wagering requirements. Slot games typically count 100%, while table games like baccarat or roulette often count only 10–20%.
Example: A ₱100 bet on slots clears ₱100 of rollover. The same ₱100 bet on baccarat might only clear ₱10–₱20 toward your rollover target.
Bonus Expiry
Every bonus comes with a time limit — commonly 7, 14, or 30 days from the date it's credited. If you don't complete the rollover within this window, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited.
Example: A 14-day bonus credited on June 1 must have its rollover completed by June 15, otherwise it expires automatically.
Sticky vs Non-sticky Bonus
A non-sticky (cashable) bonus can be withdrawn alongside your winnings once rollover is met. A sticky bonus stays in your account permanently — only the winnings generated from it can be withdrawn, not the bonus amount itself.
Example: A ₱1,000 sticky bonus that generates ₱2,500 in winnings — you can only withdraw the ₱1,500 profit; the ₱1,000 bonus disappears on withdrawal.
Maximum Cash-out Limit
Many bonuses cap the total amount you can withdraw from bonus-derived winnings. Even if you win big with a free bonus, your payout may be limited to a set ceiling regardless of actual winnings.
Example: A welcome bonus has a ₱5,000 max cash-out. Even if you turn that bonus into ₱20,000, only ₱5,000 can be withdrawn from bonus play.
