Money Bonuses

What is a money bonus?

A money bonus (also called a deposit-match bonus) is the most common casino welcome offer. The casino matches a percentage of your first deposit (usually 100%–300%) up to a maximum cap, giving you bonus funds to play with on top of your own money.

How a deposit match works

• You deposit, for example, €100 into a casino offering a 100% match up to €600.
• The casino credits an additional €100 in bonus funds, giving you a €200 playing balance.
• Wagering requirements (e.g. 35x bonus) must be met before withdrawal.

What to compare

1. Match percentage — 100% is standard, 200%+ is generous.
2. Maximum bonus cap — the highest amount the casino will match.
3. Wagering multiplier — applied to the bonus only, or bonus + deposit.
4. Maximum bet during wagering — usually €5; exceeding it can void the bonus.
5. Game contribution — slots usually count 100%, table games 10–20%.

Tips to maximize value

Pick high-RTP slots to clear wagering faster, never exceed the max-bet rule, and finish wagering inside the time limit (often 7–30 days). If the wagering is above 50x on bonus + deposit, the offer is rarely worth claiming.
