Identify the qualifying conditions

Check the eligible location, minimum age, qualifying deposit, currency and claim deadline. Look at whether the offer is for new customers or an existing account. A promotion listed on a comparison site is not a guarantee that every visitor can claim it.

Read the wagering basis

A wagering requirement describes qualifying play required before restricted bonus funds or winnings become withdrawable. The basis matters: bonus funds alone and deposit-plus-bonus are different calculations. As a simple illustration, 5× a $10 bonus means $50 of qualifying wagers if the requirement applies only to that bonus.

Compare the restrictions together

Review game contribution, any maximum permitted bet, expiry, excluded games and withdrawal or conversion limits. For free spins, check both the number of spins and their value. Requirements and rules differ by offer and jurisdiction. Read the operator’s current full terms before using a link.
