In other words, if you deposit $1,000 and get a $1,000 match, then slot games would have a playthrough requirement of $50,000. If the luxury casino player loses the deposit and bonus funds after $30,000 in playthrough, then the player would have to play through an additional $20,000 in bets on a future deposit before being able to take this bonus again on yet another deposit.

Other online casinos have a rule that you cannot take another bonus while the playthrough on a current bonus is active, but if the deposit + bonus funds are lost, then the playthrough, “Resets,” if the player wishes to take a new bonus. Therefore, it is important to understand that you will need to complete the entire playthrough before ever taking this bonus again.

This is not the case with Bovada

This is an extremely standard rule and almost every online casino will have some version of it. All this means is that, if you make a deposit without taking a bonus, any play that you do will not count towards the wagering requirements for a bonus unless you have already redeemed the bonus.

Simply put, if you are going to use a bonus, make sure to get your bonus funds before playing any games so that all of your wagering counts towards the playthrough.

3.) The deposit plus bonus amount is subject to a 25X playthrough requirement before the deposit, bonus amount and any winnings can be withdrawn.

Once again, this is a very simple and nearly Universal term. All this means is that the Wagering Requirements (playthrough) must be completed before any withdrawals can be made. This will also include your deposit nearly Universally, so if you make a deposit, even that amount is, “Stuck,” until you complete the wagering requirements.

In the case of a $1,000 deposit matched with a $1,000 bonus, (25 * $2,000) = $50,000 would need to be played through on slot games before any withdrawal could be made.

If you wish to play at an online casino with the ability to withdraw your funds and winnings anytime, then you will not wish to take a bonus. Almost all (probably all) online casinos attach your deposit to whatever bonus you are playing.*

*Some casinos will require that all deposit funds be wagered through at least 1x prior to withdrawal as an anti-money laundering safeguard.

What this term means is that win or lose, the player must meet the full playthrough requirements before taking out this bonus another time

4.) Forfeiting this bonus will result in this bonus and any subsequent winnings associated with this bonus to be removed.

This is another Bonus Term that is almost Universal amongst online casinos, though the way each casino employs it may be different.

Essentially, this means that any monies won off of bonus finds and the bonus funds themselves will be subtracted from your account if you decide you do not wish to have the bonus anymore. Since the bonus funds, “Play first,” this means that you can only lose money or break even (if you are even or ahead) if you decide you, “Want out,” of a bonus. If you have lost any amount of bonus funds, then the result of doing this will make your remaining balance less than your deposit.

If you think you might not wish to play through a bonus, then do not take the bonus in the first place. If you make a deposit, then check your balances to make sure that no bonus was applied to your account if you do not want one. If a bonus was mistakenly applied to your account, then contact customer support and ask for the bonus to be removed before you play at all.*
