What a signup bonus is, mechanically
A deposit is made. A percentage of it is added as bonus funds. Those funds, and usually anything won with them, are locked until a stated amount has been staked. Once it has, what is left becomes withdrawable. That is the whole product, and every variation in this subject is a variation in one of those four steps.
The stated amount is the part worth reading first, because it is the only part that costs anything. It is expressed as a multiple, and the multiple is applied either to the bonus, to the deposit, or to both.
The offers, cheapest to clear first
Turnover per $100 deposited. The full register is on the register page, where the same offers are also shown in the order the rest of this subject puts them in.

The same arithmetic runs behind every figure on this site; it is written out in full on how this is worked out, including the cases where it refuses to run. What the site does and does not publish is on the about page.
How to use a signup bonus without losing on it
- Price it before acceptingBonus times multiple, doubled if the base is deposit plus bonus. If that number is larger than you would stake anyway, the offer is not for you.
- Check the weighting for the games you actually playSlots count in full nearly everywhere; tables often count at a tenth.
- Find the maximum betIt is enforced automatically and voids the bonus along with whatever it won.
- Divide the turnover by the daysThat is the daily staking rate the offer expects of you. It is usually the moment the decision becomes obvious.
Three places this leads next: every offer, priced, welcome bonuses and the arithmetic. Every figure on this site comes out of the same multiplication, which is why the numbers on one page never contradict the numbers on another.
