Torchlight Play

The verdict

Torchlight Play advertises 300%, the largest number on this page, and finishes last in our table. It is the clearest illustration we have of why the headline figure is close to meaningless on its own.

Deposit £50, receive £150, and you hold £200. At 45x on deposit plus bonus that is £9,000 of turnover before anything converts. Emberdeck’s less flashy 100% up to £300 asks for £6,000 on a larger balance.

The bonus in detail

The match is 300% up to a £150 bonus cap, so the offer maxes out at a £50 deposit. Anything above that earns no extra bonus, which is the opposite of how most players assume a match works.

Winnings generated from the bonus are capped at five times the bonus amount. On a full £150 bonus that is £750, which is at least a real number rather than the £50 caps common on no deposit offers.

Terms worth knowing

• The wagering base is deposit plus bonus. This is the single most important line in the terms and it is the reason for the low score on fairness.
• Maximum stake is £3 per spin, and the 21 day window is one of the more generous here.
• Skrill and Neteller deposits are excluded from the offer entirely, which is easy to miss given both are listed as payment methods.

Payouts

Three to five working days is slow, and the £10,000 monthly ceiling is the lowest in our table. Neither is disqualifying at the deposit sizes this offer is designed for, but both count against it.

Who it suits

A player depositing exactly £50 who wants the largest possible balance to play with and is not counting on clearing the wagering. Read as a bonus you will convert, it is the weakest offer on this page.
