Common promotion shapes
Same bright label, different obligations.
We do not list live offers here. This is a vocabulary guide for reading an operator’s current terms.
Deposit match
The operator credits a percentage related to a qualifying deposit, usually up to a cap. The deposit, bonus or both may carry wagering conditions.
Bonus spins
A set number of spins on specified games. Spin value, expiry and the treatment of resulting winnings matter more than the raw count.
Cashback
A stated return linked to qualifying net losses over a period. Caps, minimum loss, excluded play and whether the return is cash or bonus credit all matter.
No-deposit promotion
An incentive without an initial deposit can still carry identity checks, wagering, expiry and withdrawal limits. “No deposit” does not mean “no conditions”.
What a responsible comparison should show
If a live offer is quoted, material restrictions should sit close to the headline: 18+, eligibility, wagering basis, expiry, stake limits and meaningful withdrawal restrictions. Urgency and “risk-free” language are poor substitutes for terms.
Before opting in
Read the operator’s current promotion page and general terms. Take a screenshot or save the wording if the operator permits it. Set a spending limit independently of the offer.
