What a welcome bonus really is

A welcome (or 'match') bonus gives you extra funds on your first deposit — typically 100% up to some cap. But the headline is only half the story: the wagering requirement decides whether it's worth anything. Run any offer through our bonus calculator to see its true value.

The trap in the headline

A '100% up to €500' bonus at 35x wagering sounds generous, but clearing €17,500 of turnover costs more in expected losses than the bonus is worth. Our Bonus Truth Engine flags these as wagering traps. Prefer offers with wagering of 10x or less, or cash-paid free spins.

Check any offer yourself with our bonus value calculator, or see the live Bonus Truth Rankings.
