Vaultfire

The verdict

Vaultfire has no welcome match at all, which is why it does not lead our table. What it has instead is a 10% weekly rebate on net losses, paid in real money, that keeps running for as long as the account is open. Over a year of regular play that is worth considerably more than any one-off welcome bonus in this list.

It is the right answer to a question most comparison sites do not ask: what is this site worth to me in month six?

The bonus in detail

Cashback is calculated on net losses across a Monday to Sunday week and credited the following Tuesday. Lose £400 across a week and £40 arrives as cash you can withdraw immediately. The £200 weekly ceiling corresponds to £2,000 of net losses, so it will not bind for most players.

Crucially, losses funded from bonus balances are excluded. You cannot generate cashback from other promotions.

Terms worth knowing

• The minimum qualifying net loss is £20. A week where you finish level or ahead generates nothing.
• Cashback is genuinely wager-free. There is no playthrough requirement and no maximum withdrawal attached to it.
• It stacks with the site’s reload offers, though bonus-funded losses are then excluded from the calculation.

Payouts

Two to three working days is the slowest of our top three and the main reason Vaultfire sits at number three rather than higher. Support was responsive when we chased a delayed withdrawal, but having to chase at all counts against it.

Who it suits

Players who log in most weeks and treat one site as their main account. If you are shopping for the largest possible first deposit bonus and do not intend to stay, look higher up the table.
