Every Bonus. Real Value.
Every bonus we've tested, ranked by what you actually keep after wagering — not the headline number.
How We Calculate True Value
Most bonus comparisons show you the headline number. We show you what you actually keep. Our True Value formula accounts for wagering requirements and the house edge of the games you will clear the bonus on.
Formula: True Value = Bonus Amount - (Bonus x Wagering Requirement x House Edge)
Example: A $100 bonus with 30x wagering on slots (4% house edge) means you must wager $3,000. Expected loss: $120. True Value: $0 — the bonus is worth nothing. Compare that to a $50 bonus with 10x wagering: $500 total wager, $20 expected loss, $30 True Value. The smaller bonus is actually better.

Bonus Terms, Decoded
The vocabulary operators use in the fine print — and what it does to the value of an offer. Deeper definitions live in the glossary.
- Wagering requirement (rollover / turnover / playthrough)
- The multiple of your bonus (sometimes bonus + deposit) you must bet before withdrawing. A $100 bonus at 35× means $3,500 through the games first. Past ~33×, the house edge you pay while clearing exceeds the bonus itself — which is why so many four-figure offers score $0 here.
- WR scope (bonus-only vs bonus + deposit)
- Whether the multiplier applies to the bonus alone or to your deposit as well. “Bonus + deposit” roughly doubles the real clearing cost at the same headline number — always check which one the T&Cs say.
- Game contribution
- How much each game type counts toward the rollover. Slots usually count 100%; live casino and tables often 10% or less — turning a 35× requirement into an effective 350× if you play blackjack.
- Max cashout cap
- A ceiling on what you can withdraw from bonus winnings — anything above it is confiscated. The cap, not the headline, is the most an offer can ever pay.
- Sticky bonus
- A bonus you can play with but never withdraw — only winnings above it cash out. Cuts real value roughly in half versus a cashable bonus.
- True Value
- Our number: what an offer is mathematically worth per $100 after wagering costs, game contribution, and cashout caps — computed with a published formula, not vibes. Full math on the methodology page.
- Realizable value & completion odds
- True Value weighted by the probability you actually finish the requirement — bust risk on your bankroll plus whether the clearing window is physically achievable. When you see “~26–53% of players clear it,” that’s this model talking.
- Rakeback vs cashback
- Rakeback returns a share of the house edge on every bet, win or lose; cashback returns a share of net losses. Both are usually paid without rollover — small percentages, but real money.
- No-deposit bonus
- Credit or spins granted before you deposit. Risk-free for you, so operators wrap them in the tightest terms on the site — high rollover, low max cashout, or both.
- Free-spin face value
- Spins are worth spin count × bet size per spin × slot RTP — beforeany wagering attached to the winnings. “200 free spins” at $0.10 is $19 of expected spins, not a jackpot.
