Look beyond the headline
A large welcome offer can still be restrictive if the wagering requirement is high, the expiry window is short or many games contribute at a reduced rate.
- 02
Wagering requirement
A x35 wagering requirement usually means the relevant bonus amount must be wagered 35 times before bonus-related withdrawals may be available, subject to operator terms.
- 03
Game contribution and max bets
Some games may contribute less to wagering, and some offers set a maximum bet while the bonus is active. Breaking those rules may void bonus-related winnings.

Direct answer
The headline bonus is only one part of the offer. The conditions determine the real cost.
Wagering, expiry, maximum-bet rules and game contribution can materially change an offer.
