What this bonus is really worth

1st deposit: 100% up to $100 or 1 BTC + 180 free spins (first step of a 4-deposit welcome package). On a $100 deposit you get a $100 bonus and must wager $4,000.

Expected value of the bonus
-$32
Chance to finish wagering with money left
52%
Chance to finish above the $100 deposit
30%
Expected loss while wagering
$160

The simple formula (bonus minus expected loss) gives -$60; the simulation is higher because a busted balance cannot lose more than it holds. That is about 4,000 bets of $1.00 within 7 days.

Match
100% up to 100 USD, minimum deposit 20 USD
Wagering
40x bonus
Game contribution
Table, live and instant-win games typically count 5%; progressive-jackpot games are excluded (terms 3.5). No rate is stated for slots.
Max bet
5 USD
Time limit
7 days
Bonus after wagering
cashable; max cashout none stated

Assumed because the terms do not say: slots count 100% towards wagering (rate not stated in the terms).

Model assumptions
  • Deposit $100; the bonus is what the published terms give for that deposit (amounts in EUR are taken at face value).
  • A slot with 96% RTP and medium volatility (a bet wins 20% of the time, paying 4.8x); flat $1 bets, or the max bet if that is lower.
  • Deposit and bonus are one locked balance, played until the wagering is done or the balance runs out. Value = average amount withdrawn minus the deposit.
  • 4,000 simulated attempts with a fixed seed (2026), so the figures are reproducible.
  • Free spins, rakeback and cashback are not included. Breaking a rule (max bet, excluded games) voids winnings and is not modelled; neither is the time limit.

Calculated from published terms checked on 27 Oct 2026. Free spins are not included in the calculation. No max cashout is stated for deposit bonuses (the 100 cap in clause 1.1 applies to no-deposit bonuses only). Try other games or bet sizes in the bonus value calculator.
