THE NZ GUIDE
Casino bonuses: read beyond the headline
Treat an offer as a set of conditions, not as free money.
Understand wagering
Wagering requirements describe how much qualifying play is needed before a promotional balance can be withdrawn. Check whether the requirement applies to the bonus alone or both deposit and bonus.
Look for the limits
Read the expiry date, qualifying deposits, maximum bet, game contributions, excluded payment methods and any maximum cash-out. Save a copy of the terms you accept.
It is fine to decline
A promotion can add restrictions to play and withdrawals. Consider whether a standard account without a bonus better suits your plans. No bonus removes the risk of losing money.
