Bonus expiry

Plain-language definition for casino players.

Bonus expiry is the deadline by which you must complete wagering on a casino bonus. Standard windows are 7, 14, or 30 days from claim. If you don't clear wagering by the expiry, the bonus and any winnings derived from it are forfeited — your original deposit stays intact.

Practical advice: before activating a welcome bonus, divide the wagering total by your typical daily play volume. If clearing it would require playing $400 a day for 30 days and you normally play $50, the bonus is unclaimable in practice — skip it. The expiry exists specifically to make high-volume players the only group that profits from the offer.
