No. 00 — welcome
Understanding welcome bonuses
An educational checklist for reading first-deposit matches and introductory offers. No live offer is listed here.
What a welcome bonus is
A welcome bonus is an introductory promotion for an eligible new account. It may include matched bonus funds, free spins or both. The headline amount does not tell you what the offer is worth or whether it suits you.
Terms to check
- which deposit and payment methods qualify;
- whether wagering applies to the bonus only or to deposit plus bonus;
- eligible games and their contribution rates;
- maximum bet, expiry and withdrawal limits;
- identity, location and account-eligibility requirements;
- whether opting out is possible.
Read the operator’s current terms before depositing and keep a copy. Completing wagering requires gambling and can result in losing both deposited and bonus funds. 18+ only.
