Bonus Guide

Casino Bonus Explained

A plain-English guide to understanding how casino bonuses work — including wagering requirements, free spins, and what to look for in the T&Cs.

Types of Betsson Bonuses

🎁
Welcome Match Bonus
Betsson matches your deposit by a percentage (e.g. 100%) up to a maximum amount. Common for new players on their first deposit.
🎰
Free Spins
A set number of spins on specified slot games, awarded at no cost. Winnings from free spins are added as bonus funds subject to wagering.
🔄
Cashback Bonus
A percentage of your net losses returned as bonus funds or real cash. Often awarded weekly with no wagering on cash cashback.
Sports Free Bet
A free bet stake to use on sports markets. If your bet wins, you receive the winnings minus the free bet stake amount.

Understanding Wagering Requirements

Wagering requirements (also called playthrough requirements) define how many times you must bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings derived from it. This is the most important term to understand.

Example

You deposit €100 and receive a 100% match bonus of €100 (total balance: €200). If the wagering requirement is 35x the bonus, you must place €100 × 35 = €3,500 in total bets before withdrawing bonus-derived winnings.

Betsson's welcome bonus typically carries a wagering requirement of 35x the bonus amount. Each game contributes differently — slots usually contribute 100%, while table games may contribute only 10%.

Key Bonus Terms to Know

  • Minimum Deposit: The smallest deposit that qualifies for the bonus (usually €10–€20).
  • Maximum Bet: While a bonus is active, there's usually a maximum bet limit per spin/round (often €5).
  • Time Limit: Bonuses and free spins must be used within a set period (typically 7–30 days).
  • Game Restrictions: Not all games count towards wagering. Check which games are eligible.
  • Maximum Cashout: Some bonuses cap how much you can withdraw from bonus winnings.
  • Opt-In Required: Some bonuses require you to opt in before depositing to activate them.
⚠️ Always read the full terms and conditions before claiming any bonus. The Betsson website has the complete, up-to-date terms for each promotion.

Tips for Making the Most of Bonuses

  • Focus on games that contribute 100% towards wagering (usually slots)
  • Stay within the maximum bet limit while wagering a bonus to avoid forfeiture
  • Complete wagering before the bonus expiry date
  • Consider whether the wagering requirement is achievable with your usual playing style
  • Remember: bonuses are designed to give you extra playtime, not guaranteed profits
