Bonus terms: a clause-by-clause reading
Bonus terms are a small contract. This page reads them clause by clause, with special attention to the ones that affect slots: game contribution, maximum bet, excluded games and feature buys. It concerns no particular offer and promotes none.
Game contribution
Not every game counts equally towards wagering. A contribution table might list slots at 100%, table games at 10% or less and live games excluded. If a game contributes 10%, a stake of 10 counts as only 1 towards the requirement.
Maximum bet while wagering
Almost all terms set a maximum stake per spin until the requirement is met. Exceeding it even once can void the bonus and its winnings. It is the most common reason bonuses are voided, and the easiest to avoid.
Excluded games
Some slots are excluded from contribution, often those with high RTP, jackpots or feature buys. Check the list before playing: a session on an excluded title does not move the requirement.
Feature buys
Many modern slots, including several Nolimit City titles such as Soaked by Seamen, let you buy straight into the bonus round. During wagering this is often forbidden or does not count. Using it can void the bonus.
| Clause | Risk if ignored |
|---|---|
| Game contribution | Requirement that does not move |
| Maximum bet | Bonus and winnings voided |
| Excluded games | Session that does not count |
| Feature buys | Breach of terms |
| Expiry | Remaining bonus balance removed |
| Cashout cap | Winnings above the cap removed |
Expiry
Every bonus has a deadline for completing wagering. After it, remaining bonus balance and winnings from it are removed. On volatile slots a short deadline makes completion harder.
Voiding and forfeiting
Terms explain when the operator can void a bonus — for example multiple accounts or play patterns it deems abusive — and whether you can forfeit it yourself. Read these too: they tell you what happens to your balance.
Order of deductions
When real money and bonus balance are mixed, terms state which is used first for each stake and which is removed first if you withdraw. Real money first is the more player-friendly order; bonus first keeps more of your deposit locked.
The arithmetic
How the requirement is calculated and how volatility affects it is on the wagering page. For the other bonus types, return to bonus terms.
This page explains a contractual mechanism. It contains no offer. Terms are set by the operator, change over time and must be read in the cashier or promotion page; in some countries advertising gambling bonuses is restricted or banned.
