The four terms that define any offer
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Wagering | The multiple of the bonus - sometimes plus deposit - that must be staked before a bonus balance becomes withdrawable |
| Eligible games | Which titles count toward wagering and at what weighting; pokies usually contribute fully, table games often far less |
| Time limit | How long you have to meet the terms before the bonus expires |
| Maximum bet | The largest stake permitted while a bonus is active |
A worked example
Take a bonus of 100 units carrying 35x wagering on the bonus only. That means 3,500 units must be staked - not lost, staked - before the balance converts to cash. On a pokie contributing fully, 3,500 units of total spins clears it.
Two details move that number more than most players expect. If the requirement reads 35x bonus plus deposit, the same offer needs 7,000 units of turnover instead of 3,500. And if a game contributes at half weighting, the turnover needed on that title doubles again. Neither is hidden - both sit in the published terms, and both are why the multiple alone never tells you whether an offer is generous.

Free spins: read what they leave behind
What matters is not how many spins arrive but what their winnings become. On some offers spin winnings are paid as cash and are withdrawable immediately; on others they land as bonus funds carrying their own wagering, which is a different proposition entirely. The spin value and eligible title are usually fixed too, so a drop is a specific offer on a specific game rather than free credit to spend anywhere.
Mistakes that cost people a bonus
- Depositing before opting in, where the offer requires opting in first.
- Exceeding the maximum bet while a bonus is active - including accidentally on autoplay.
- Grinding wagering on a game that contributes little or nothing.
- Requesting a withdrawal with an active bonus still carrying unmet terms.
