Bonus Terms Explained Simply
Casino bonuses can be confusing — especially when you hit a term like "20x rollover" or "sticky bonus." Here's a plain-English decoder so you always know what you're agreeing to.
Pro tip: Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus. Understanding the fine print protects your winnings and saves frustration later.
Wagering Requirement / Rollover
This is the number of times you must bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings from it. It's the single most important number to check on any bonus offer.
Example: You receive a ₱1,000 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement. You must place ₱20,000 in total bets using that bonus before you can cash out. A 10x rollover on the same ₱1,000 means only ₱10,000 in bets required — much better for you.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
When playing with active bonus funds, most casinos cap how much you can bet per spin or round. Exceeding this limit can void your bonus — even if you win big.
Example: A bonus with a ₱300 max bet rule means you cannot place bets above ₱300 per spin while the bonus is active. Placing a ₱500 bet could result in your bonus being cancelled by ph698 risk management.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally to clearing your wagering requirement. Slots typically count 100%, but table games like blackjack and roulette may only count 10–20%. Some games contribute 0%.
Example: You need ₱10,000 in wagers to clear your bonus. Playing slots = every ₱1 counts as ₱1 toward the requirement. Playing baccarat at 10% contribution = you'd need ₱100,000 in baccarat bets to clear the same requirement.
Bonus Expiry Window
Bonuses don't last forever. If you don't meet the wagering requirement within the specified time window, the bonus and any derived winnings are forfeited.
Example: A 7-day expiry means you have one week from bonus activation to complete the rollover. A ₱500 bonus with a 15x wagering requirement requires ₱7,500 in bets within 7 days — that's about ₱1,000 per day.
Sticky vs. Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky (also called "non-cashable") bonus stays in your account as bonus money that can never be withdrawn — only the winnings generated from it can. A non-sticky bonus is deducted from your balance upon withdrawal, but your net winnings remain yours.
Example: You have a ₱1,000 sticky bonus and win ₱3,000 playing with it. You can withdraw ₱2,000 (your net winnings). The ₱1,000 bonus itself disappears. With a non-sticky bonus, ₱1,000 is subtracted from your total and you keep the rest.
Maximum Cash-Out Limit
Some bonuses cap the total amount you can withdraw from winnings earned using that bonus. Even if you run up a big win, only the capped amount will be withdrawable.
Example: A ₱500 welcome bonus has a ₱5,000 maximum cash-out. Even if you turn that bonus into ₱15,000, only ₱5,000 can be withdrawn. Any excess winnings above the cap are removed when you request withdrawal.
