Check whether the offer applies to you

A promotion may be limited to new customers, particular payment methods or one account within a stated group. Having an account at a related brand could matter if the terms say so. Do not create duplicate accounts to get around eligibility rules.

Keep a copy of the terms and the time you accepted them if you choose to take part. A banner on its own is rarely enough to explain the full conditions.

Compare the conditions, not just the headline

ConditionQuestion to ask
Free spinsWhat is each spin worth and which game is eligible?
WageringWhat must be staked, on which balance and by when?
No wageringAre there still eligibility, expiry or withdrawal conditions?

CancellationWhat happens to bonus funds and associated winnings?

You can choose not to accept

The UK bonus wagering cap is one protection, not a guarantee that an offer suits your circumstances. A larger headline may bring conditions you do not want.

If a condition is unclear, ask the operator before accepting. Do not treat the bonus amount as cash you already own or as a reason to gamble beyond a limit you have set.
