Bonus Scoring
Bonus Terms Scored Against a Published Formula
Every bonus I score runs through 12 fairness checks - wagering requirements, game weightings, bet restrictions, validity windows, maximum cashouts, and more. The formula is published. Position in any ranking comes from the data, never from paid placement. All bonuses are scored for UKGC-licensed operators only.

What Are Casino Bonuses?
Casino bonuses are promotional offers that provide extra value when you sign up or play at a UKGC-licensed online casino. They take many forms - deposit matches, free spins, cashback, no deposit offers and beyond. Each type operates differently, with distinct wagering requirements and actual worth. Learning how they work helps you make better choices and maximise the benefit from every offer.

How Bonuses Compare
Understanding Bonus Types
I score each bonus across six key areas - licensing and trust, fairness of terms, withdrawal speed, payment methods available, user experience, and player feedback. Here's how wagering requirements, maximum cashout limits, and expiry periods affect the value of each offer, so you can spot which bonuses suit your play.

How We Score Bonuses
One consistent method for every offer - transparent and impartial
Six criteria weighted equally, recalculated each month across all 37 regulated markets. The calculation is published in full and can be verified by anyone.
How to Claim Casino Bonuses
1
Research & Compare
Don't claim the first bonus you see. Compare offers across UKGC-licensed casinos using GambleGrade scores, True Value calculations, and wagering requirements. A £1,000 bonus with 50x wagering is worth less than a £200 bonus with 20x.
2
Read the Terms
Check the terms and conditions before you commit. Key things to look for: wagering base (bonus-only vs deposit+bonus), game contribution rates, maximum bet limits, wagering deadline, and whether the bonus is sticky.
3
Claim & Activate
Register at your chosen casino, enter any required promo code, and make a qualifying deposit. Verify your account early - some casinos hold bonus winnings until identity verification is complete.
4
Track & Complete Wagering
Monitor your wagering progress through the casino's bonus tracker. Stick to high-contribution games, stay within maximum bet limits, and withdraw as soon as requirements are met - don't keep playing with bonus funds.
Pros
- Extra funds extend your playing time and give you more chances to win
- Free spins and no deposit offers let you test casinos with no financial risk
- Cashback bonuses provide a safety net on losing sessions
- Welcome packages typically offer the highest value available to new players
Cons
- Wagering requirements (30-60x is common) make most bonuses difficult to convert to real cash
- Game restrictions mean slots may count 100% but blackjack only 10% towards wagering
- Maximum cashout caps limit how much you can actually withdraw from bonus winnings
- Sticky bonuses look generous but the bonus amount is deducted at withdrawal
Watch Out For
- Always calculate True Value before claiming - our calculator shows exactly what a bonus is worth after wagering
- Bonuses with 'deposit + bonus' wagering base are roughly twice as hard to clear as 'bonus only'
- Wagering deadlines under 7 days make it nearly impossible to clear anything above 30x
- Some UKGC-licensed casinos void all winnings if you accidentally exceed the maximum bet limit - even by £0.01
