Four terms to compare before you claim a new casino bonus
A new casino bonus has four terms that decide its value. Read these four terms before you read the headline amount. The comparison takes a few minutes and tells you whether the offer is worth claiming at all.
- Type: match, spins, cashback or no deposit.
- Turnover: 25x or less on the bonus at 96% RTP is fair.
- Game limits: which games count, and how much.
- Time: 14 to 30 days is comfortable, 7 days is tight.
The type sets how the bonus is paid. A match bonus adds a share of your deposit, while free spins fix the game you play. Turnover sets how much you must bet before a withdrawal is allowed. Game limits set which bets reduce that turnover. The time limit sets how long you have to finish. Compare two offers on all four terms, because a large bonus with 7 days to finish is usually worse than a smaller one with 30. The sticky and non-sticky guide explains one more term that changes the turnover, which is whether your own cash is used first.
How to claim a new casino bonus, step by step
The order of the claim matters as much as the offer. Each step below protects the bonus from one specific way of losing it.
- Register and verify your ID first.
- Screenshot the bonus terms.
- Opt in or enter the code in the cashier.
- Deposit at least the minimum, using a method the terms allow.
- Check the bonus shows in your account before your first bet.
- Set your stake below the maximum bet and play eligible games.
Verification comes first because many casinos hold a bonus until your identity is confirmed. The guide to ID checks at new casinos explains what documents to expect. The screenshot comes second because terms can change after you claim, and your copy is the evidence of what you accepted. The opt-in comes before the deposit because most cashiers attach the offer only to a deposit made after the opt-in. Some deposit methods are excluded from bonuses, so check the method as well as the amount. The last check, that the bonus appears in your balance, takes ten seconds and catches a failed claim before you have bet anything.
Where we help
Each review shows the welcome offer the casino states for players in Singapore, and our bonus page works out what offers are worth after wagering. Codes are on the bonus codes page.
The offer on a review is the casino's own statement, not a result of our own test claim. Treat it as a starting point and confirm the terms in the cashier before you deposit. If a bonus fails to credit or is removed, the bonus fail guide lists the usual causes and what to ask support.
