Save these on the day
- The terms page as it stands when you claim, saved or printed.
- The date and time the bonus was credited.
- Your stake size relative to the stated maximum bet.
- The support conversation, if there is one, in full.
This is the whole method reduced to an order. Answer the seven questions from the operator's own current terms page. If any answer is missing or ambiguous, that is itself the answer — decline, and play without the bonus instead.
Bonus only, or bonus plus deposit? Find the sentence next to the multiplier. This single answer can double the obligation.
Multiply the base by the multiplier and write the figure down. That number, not the bonus headline, is what you are accepting.
Note the cap and choose a stake comfortably below it before you play a single round. Assume it is enforced at the line, because it usually is.
Look up the category you actually intend to play. Full weighting, partial, or zero. Zero means the bonus does not fit your play at all.
Note the date and the trigger. Then convert the window into a staking rate per day and compare it with how much you would stake anyway.
Find any limit on what bonus play can become. It bounds the reward side of the exchange you are about to enter.
A withdrawal request, an excluded game, a new bonus, a breach. Know which of your ordinary habits would forfeit it.
The checklist is deliberately short, and the seventh question is the one that turns it from analysis into a decision. A bonus is worth accepting when the obligation it creates matches play you were going to do anyway. When it does not, the bonus is asking you to change your play in order to earn it, and that is the moment to hand it back.
