Bonus Terms Explained
Confused by wagering requirements, rollover conditions, or sticky bonus rules? This plain-English guide breaks down the most common bonus jargon so Pakistani players know exactly what they're claiming before they tap that button.
Wagering / Rollover Requirement
This is the number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. A 15x rollover on a PKR 1,000 bonus means you need to place a total of PKR 15,000 in bets before cashing out.
Example: Claim a PKR 2,000 bonus with 20x wagering = you must wager PKR 40,000 total. Lower is always better — aim for 10x or below where possible.
Maximum Bet During Bonus Play
Most platforms cap your bet size while a bonus is active. This limit typically sits between PKR 250 and PKR 500 per round. Placing bets above this cap can result in the bonus — and all associated winnings — being voided.
Example: Your bonus T&C states a PKR 300 max bet. Wagering PKR 500 per spin during the bonus period could forfeit your entire balance.
Game Contribution Rate
Not every game contributes equally toward clearing your wagering requirement. Video slots commonly contribute 100%, while table games like Baccarat or Roulette may only contribute 10–20%. Some live dealer games contribute 0%.
Example: A PKR 1,000 bet on slots clears PKR 1,000 of rollover. The same bet on Blackjack (10% contribution) only clears PKR 100.
Bonus Expiry Window
Bonuses are not valid indefinitely. Standard expiry windows are 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days from the date of activation. If you don't complete the wagering requirement within that window, the bonus and derived winnings are removed.
Example: You claim a 30-day bonus on 1 May — you must complete all wagering by 31 May, or the funds are forfeited automatically.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky (or non-cashable) bonus stays in your account as play-money permanently — you can never withdraw the bonus amount itself, only the net winnings you generate from it. A non-sticky bonus is deducted from your balance upon withdrawal, meaning only real-money profit is paid out.
Example: You have PKR 1,000 sticky bonus + PKR 800 winnings. You can withdraw PKR 800; the PKR 1,000 is removed.
Maximum Cash-Out Limit
Even after completing all wagering requirements, many bonuses cap the total amount you can withdraw from bonus-derived winnings. This cap is stated in the promotion's terms and is separate from your real-money withdrawal limit.
Example: A bonus specifies a PKR 5,000 max cash-out. Even if you turn your bonus into PKR 20,000, only PKR 5,000 can be transferred to your withdrawal wallet.
Practical advice: Always read the full Terms & Conditions of any promotion before claiming. Pay special attention to the wagering multiplier, game contribution rates, and expiry date — these three factors determine whether a bonus is genuinely rewarding or not worth claiming.
