Maximum bet limit explained
The maximum bet limit is one of the most important restrictions to understand. Violating it can cost you your entire bonus.
| Bonus Type | Typical Max Bet | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | $10 – $50 | Check specific terms |
| Free Bet | Full free bet amount | Use entire free bet at once |
| No Deposit Bonus | $1 – $5 | Very strict limits |
| Reload Bonus | $10 – $25 | Similar to welcome |
How max bet applies
- Per bet basis: The limit applies to each individual bet, not daily total.
- Accumulator bets: The total stake of the accumulator must be under the limit.
- System bets: Each combination/bet within may need to be under the limit.
- Currency conversion: If your account is in a different currency, the equivalent limit applies.
Maximum win caps
Some bonuses limit how much you can withdraw from winnings, regardless of how much you actually win.
| Bonus Type | Max Win Cap | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | Often uncapped | Win $1000 → withdraw $1000 |
| No Deposit Bonus | $20 – $100 | Win $500 → withdraw only $50 |
| Free Bet | Varies | Check specific offer |
| Promo Offers | Sometimes capped | Check specific terms |
Why max win caps exist
Max win caps protect bookmakers from unlimited liability on free bonuses. They're most common on no-deposit offers where users haven't risked their own money.
Time limits by bonus type
Every bonus expires. Here's what to expect for different bonus types:
| Bonus Type | Activation Window | Wagering Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | During registration | 30 days |
| Deposit Bonus | 24-48 hours | 14-30 days |
| Free Bet | Immediate – 7 days | 3-14 days to use |
| No Deposit Bonus | Immediate | 24-72 hours |
| Promo Code Bonus | Code validity period | Varies by offer |
Deposit limits for bonuses
Bonuses have minimum deposit requirements, and some have maximum limits too.
| Limit Type | Purpose | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | Qualify for bonus | $1 – $20 |
| Maximum bonus deposit | Cap on matched amount | $100 – $500 |
| Optimal deposit | Get full bonus value | Match the max bonus |
Example: A 100% bonus up to $100 with $10 minimum deposit means:
- Deposit $10 → Get $10 bonus (minimum met)
- Deposit $50 → Get $50 bonus
- Deposit $100 → Get $100 bonus (maximum)
- Deposit $200 → Get $100 bonus (capped at max)
