Casino bonuses, read properly before you claim

The headline percentage is the least useful number in a bonus offer. We pull the wagering base, the maximum bet, the win cap and the expiry out of the small print and put them next to it, so you can see what an offer is actually worth in about ten seconds.

Method

How a site gets on this page

Four steps, run on every operator, repeated every month.

  1. 01

    We open an account

    Every site in the table has been registered with, deposited into and withdrawn from. Nothing is listed on the strength of its marketing.

  2. 02

    We read the terms in full

    The wagering base, maximum bet, win cap, contribution table and expiry are pulled out of the small print and shown next to the headline.

  3. 03

    We test a withdrawal

    Including the first one, which is the slow one, because that is where verification happens and where most complaints start.

  4. 04

    We re-check monthly

    Bonus terms change without notice. Every listing carries the date we last verified it against the operator site.

Common questions

How does this site make money?

We earn a commission when someone opens an account through one of our links. That commission is paid by the operator, never by you, and it does not change our ratings or the order offers are shown in. Sites we score poorly are still listed, and still linked.

Are these bonus terms up to date?

Every listing shows the date we last checked it against the operator site, and we re-verify monthly. Terms can still change between checks, so always confirm the offer on the operator site before you deposit.

Why is the biggest bonus not at the top?

Because the headline percentage is the least useful number in a bonus. A 300% match at 45x on deposit plus bonus asks far more of you than a 100% match at 20x on the bonus alone. We rank on what an offer is worth after its terms, not before.

Can I use these offers if I am registered with GAMSTOP?

No. Every operator we list holds a UK Gambling Commission licence and is required to block accounts registered with GAMSTOP. We do not list, review or link to sites that accept self-excluded players.
