Wagering/Play-through/Play-through requirements

When we send you bonuses or prizes you will need to meet certain wagering/play-through requirements before you can convert the casino credits to cash (withdraw or cash-in).

  • A player's casino account balance is divided into a Cash Balance and a Bonus Balance.
  • When your gaming account is credited with a promotional bonus, these credits will be added to your "Bonus Balance".
  • All bonuses have a thirty times (30x) requirement to convert the entire bonus to cash.
  • For any wager made, the wager is deducted from your Cash Balance first. If there is no cash available, then the wager is deducted from the Bonus Balance. This effectively means that credits in the Player's bonus balance are only played if there is no cash balance.
  • As you meet the play-through/wagering requirement of the promotion bonus you received, your Bonus Balance will decreased in $10 increments and be added to your Cash Balance.
  • If you make a withdrawal, your Bonus Balance is reset to zero. This means that if you choose to withdraw any portion of your Cash Balance and you still have a Bonus Balance, your remaining Bonus Balance will be forfeit.
  • Play-through/wagering on all games will count towards the play-through/wagering requirement, BUT the types of games you play will contribute differently towards meeting your play-through/wagering requirement.

The contributing percentages are as follows:

Slots, American Roulette and Parlor Games 100%
Table Poker games, Casino War, Sicbo and all Roulettes
except American Roulette
50%
Video Poker games, Craps, Baccarat and all Blackjacks
except Classic Blackjack
10%
Classic Blackjack & All Aces Video Poker 2%

The following examples are based on a standard offer of 100% deposit match on a 100 credits deposit.

If you play only Slots, which count 100% toward your bonus play-through requirement, you will need to play-through 300 credits to move a 10 credit increment to your Cash Balance, and 3,000 credits before the entire bonus is moved to your Cash Balance.

Bonus Play-through requirements Contributing % Play-through
- 10 credits
Play-through
- Total Bonus
$100 x 30 / 100% 300 credits 3,000 credits

If you play only Roulette, which count 50% toward your bonus play-through requirement, you will need to play-through 600 credits to move a 10 credit increment to your Cash Balance, and 6,000 credits before the entire bonus is moved to your Cash Balance.

Bonus Play-through requirements Contributing % Play-through

$100 x 30 / 50% 600 credits 6,000 credits


A few rules to remember:

  • We start counting your play-through/wagering from the moment the promotion bonus is added to your account.
  • If you would prefer for us to reverse your bonus, so that you are not bound by the wagering/play-through requirements, please contact our support team who can help you with this.

Wild Symbols

In Slot Games, when a Wild Symbol lines up on the payline it substitutes for any other symbol. For example, if you line up two 7s on the payline with a Wild Symbol it is the same as three 7s. Some Wild Symbols may also double or triple the payout, or even more.
