A bonus is governed by its own terms. Before accepting one, understand the required playthrough, eligible games, expiry, caps and what happens to funds if a condition is not met.
Read the complete current terms before opting in; skip an offer if its conditions conflict with a limit you set.

Wagering requirement
Terms may state a multiple of a bonus, deposit or combined amount. Check the exact base amount and whether any excluded contribution applies. Do not infer the total from a headline alone.
Game contribution
Different games may count differently or be excluded. Check the offer's current contribution table and any maximum stake condition while the promotion is active.
Expiry and withdrawal rules
Record when the offer expires, whether it can be cancelled, any maximum cash-out and the order in which cash and bonus balances are used. Ask support to explain unclear conditions before opting in.
Free spins
Check eligible game, number of spins, value per spin, expiry, winnings conversion and any maximum withdrawal. A free-spin headline does not tell you the final cash-out terms.
Fair terms and responsible choice
UKGC guidance requires gambling businesses to set out applicable bonus terms clearly and fairly. Do not accept an offer if you do not understand the restrictions or if a bonus would undermine a limit you set.
Frequently asked questions
