How to check limits and bonus validity

1) What are the limits - short card

1. Max bet when wagering - the maximum allowable bet per spin/round (often 3-5 € or 10% of the bonus). One-time excess can void winnings.

2. Cap for withdrawal - the ceiling of the amount available for withdrawal from bonus funds/winnings from FS (for example, 5 × of bonus or fix 100-200 €).

3. Game limits - contribution to the wager (slots 100%, board games 10-40%, live 0-20%) and lists of excluded titles/providers.

4. Provider/jackpot limits - often 0% contribution or complete ban.

5. Payment methods/region - some e-wallet's/countries do not qualify for bonuses.

6. FS wagering limits are separate, sometimes lower than for a cash bonus.

7. Limits on the number of active bonuses - a ban on parallel promotions or automatic "overlap" of conditions.

2) What deadlines exist - three different windows

1. Activation window - the period in which you can collect the bonus (for example, 24-72 hours from the date of deposit).

2. Wagering window (WR window) - how much you have to complete the vager (7-14 days, etc.).

3. Window for freespins (FS window) - a separate period for using/playing free spins (often 24-72 hours).

💡 Attention to the time zone in which the dates are indicated (the server time of the casino may differ from your local one).

3) Where to look for limits and deadlines - and how to fix them

"Bonus Terms," "Promotions," "Loyalty," "FAQ" sections.

Under the section, there is often an anchor "Game Contribution/Excluded Games/Max Bet/Wagering" - this is the main one.

Always take screenshots: bonus pages, full text of rules, WR counter status before activation (with date/time).

4) Step-by-step check before activation (10 minutes)

1. Bonus type: deposit/mute/FS/cashback/combo.

2. Base for WR: On bonus/deposit + bonus/win with FS.

3. WR and game contribution: percentage table + list of excluded games/providers.

4. Max bet: number and formula (fixed or% of bonus). Put a buffer − 10-20% of your rate.

5. Cap on output: fix/multiplier, whether restrictions on FS apply separately.

6. Timing: Activation/wagering/FS, whether the time zone is specified.

7. Payment Methods/Region: Are Yours Excluded?

8. KYC/AML: whether verification is needed prior to the output request.

9. Stock conflicts: Can multiple bonuses be held at the same time.

5) Micro-mathematics of limits and deadlines

5. 1. Checking the "reality" max bet

If max bet = 5 €, the safe bet is ≤4,00 -4.50 €. For stability at WR, it is better to 0.40-1.20 € (0.5-1% of bankroll).

5. 2. Impact of cap

If cap = 100 €, then after closing WR you will still withdraw a maximum of 100 € of profit from the bonus part, even with a larger win → it makes no sense to "twist" the distance.

5. 3. Time evaluation

Sales volume for WR: 'WR _ total = WR × Base'.

Example: bonus 100 €, WR x30 → 3,000 € turnover.

If the average rate of 0.80 € and 500 spin/hour → about 7.5 hours of net play with slots of 100% contribution.

6) Time zone and deadlines - how not to be a minute late

Specify in which zone the dates are indicated (UTC/UTC + .../local casino).

Convert to your time and set reminders: T-48, T-12, T-3 hours.

If the stock "updates at midnight," check whose midnight it is.

Keep a log: start date/time, end-time by server.

7) Limits that most often "break" the game

Exceeding max bet with a single click/autospin.

Play on excluded slots or at the provider with a 0% contribution.

Live/board games with a low contribution → WR almost does not move, the term is "eaten up."

Deposit method from the list of exceptions for bonuses (cashback/dep bonus does not count).

Currency mismatch or rate rounding (5 € ≠ 5 $).

8) Mini cases

Case A. Low WR but hard cap

100% to 100 €, WR x10 for bonus, cap 100 €.

→ WR_total = €1,000 turnover. Even if you bring more, you can withdraw no more than 100 € of profit from the bonus part. Solution: After closing the WR, do not "twist" the slot without meaning.

Case B. FS with separate limits

100 FS for 0.20 €, window for 48 hours, max bet when winning - 3 €.

→ First, play FS, record the win, then keep the bet ≤2,50 -2.70 €, so as not to catch a random violation.

Case C. Time zone "bit" deadline

WR to "23:59" server time (UTC + 2), you have UTC + 5.

→ The finish will come 3 hours earlier than you expected in local time. Make reminders based on the difference.

9) Tabular accounting template (make a copy)

Start Date/Time (TZ )/Deadline (server TZ)

Bonus Type/WR/WR Base (multiplicity)
Max bet/Cap/Payment methods (excl/none)
Games/Contribution %/Exceptions (Yes/No)
Turnover (raw )/Counted (Contrib )/WR Balance
Screenshots/links/Support ticket

10) Dispute Procedure

1. Screenshots of conditions and progress before/after the session.

2. Short log: date, game, bets, contribution, max bet.

3. Mark the deadline time zone in circulation.

4. A clear wording: "there were no violations of max bet, the contribution is 100%, please recalculate the rounds No...."

11) Checklist before clicking "Activate"

WR and WR base are clear.
Known max bet, cap, game contribution and exceptions.
Timing: Activation/Play/FS + Time Zone.
My deposit method is not excluded.
Screenshots of rules and zero status are made.
Dunned T-48/T-12/T-3, rate set with buffer − 10-20%.

12) FAQ

What is more important - max bet or cap?

Both are critical: max bet affects the validity of winnings, cap - the maximum amount deducted.

Is it possible to raise the rate for the finish?

Only if you do not risk exceeding max bet and the term does not "burn." It is safer to keep the rate consistently below the limit.

Why doesn't WR go, although I play a lot?

Check game contribution/exclusions, deposit method, currency and max bet. Often the reason is a reduced contribution or 0% from a particular provider.

If the deadline has expired for a couple of minutes, can the bonus be restored?

Almost never. Therefore - time zone, reminders and finish 1-2 hours before the deadline.

Checking limits and deadlines is the "insurance policy" of the bonus game. Knowing max bet, cap, contribution of games and exact deadlines with the time zone, you:

play legally and without cancellations, do not recycle extra turnover, close WR on time and take the cache.

First - limits and deadlines on paper, then - rates and backs. This simple rule saves money, time and nerves.
