Deposit match
A deposit match adds bonus funds against a qualifying deposit. The headline percentage is only one part of the offer; the cap and wagering rules determine how much can actually be used.
Wagering requirements
A requirement may apply to the bonus, the deposit, or both. “30x bonus” and “30x deposit plus bonus” are very different. Check the exact definition and which games contribute.
Free spins and maximum bets
Free-spin wins may be converted to bonus funds with their own rules. Maximum-bet clauses can invalidate a bonus if you exceed the limit, even accidentally.
Withdrawal and expiry
Look for a cashout limit, expiry date, excluded payment routes and identity checks. A promotion that cannot be withdrawn on terms you accept is not a useful promotion.
The safest bonus is optional
Never deposit because a countdown timer or oversized number creates pressure. If the terms feel hard to find, treat that as a reason to leave.
Keep a simple comparison note
Write down the operator, the date you checked it, the terms you accepted, your limits and the support answer you received. This small habit prevents a headline offer from becoming a vague memory.
