Wagering base and multiple
| Phrasing | Meaning |

| 30x D+B | Multiple applies to deposit + bonus |
| 30x winnings (spins) | Applies to free spin profits only |
Worked examples: wagering requirements.
Game contribution
"Slots 100%, table games 10%, sports 0%" means each 100 bet on blackjack counts as 10 toward requirement. Low contribution inflates real handle needed.
Max bet rule
Typical cap: 5–10 per spin or 5% of bonus. Exceeding may void bonus and winnings — sometimes entire balance per harsh terms.
Expiry
Calendar days from credit or opt-in. Incomplete wagering at expiry → forfeit bonus and often associated winnings.
Win cap
"Maximum withdrawal from bonus winnings: 500" truncates upside regardless of jackpot hit during wagering.
Withdrawal and forfeit
Key facts
- Sticky bonus
- Bonus never withdrawable — winnings may be
- Non-sticky
- Deposit withdrawable after forfeiting bonus
- Automatic forfeit on withdraw attempt
- Common — read before clicking withdraw
Block detail: wagering blocking withdrawal.
Red flag phrases

- 40x+ on D+B
- 7-day expiry on large wagering requirement

Summary
Read eligibility, wagering base, contribution, max bet, expiry, and forfeit rules before every opt-in. D+B multiples and low table contribution explode real volume required. Model expected value, respect max bet, and skip offers whose fine print conflicts with how you actually play.
