Bonus Terms Explained
Confused by wagering requirements, rollover figures, and sticky vs non-sticky bonuses? This plain-English decoder covers what every Malaysian player needs to know before claiming any bonus.
⚠ Practical Tip
Always read the T&C before claiming any bonus. The wagering requirement and maximum bet rule are the two most commonly misunderstood terms โ start there.
Wagering / Rollover Requirement
This is the number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. For example, a 10x wagering requirement on a RM100 bonus means you need to place RM1,000 worth of bets in total before cashing out.
Example: RM200 bonus ร 15x rollover = you must wager RM3,000 total before withdrawal is unlocked.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
Most bonuses impose a maximum single-bet limit while bonus funds are active โ typically between MYR 25 and MYR 500 per spin or round. Exceeding this cap can void your bonus entirely, even if you've met the wagering requirement.
Example: If the max bonus bet is RM50, placing a RM200 single bet while on bonus funds will likely result in the bonus being forfeited.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally toward clearing your wagering requirement. Slots typically contribute 100%, while table games like Baccarat or Blackjack might only contribute 10โ20%. Live sports betting contribution varies by operator.
Example: RM100 wagered on slots clears RM100 of rollover. The same RM100 on Baccarat at 10% contribution only clears RM10.
Bonus Expiry Window
All bonuses have an expiry date โ typically 7, 14, or 30 days from the date of activation. If the wagering requirement is not met within this window, the bonus and any derived winnings are usually forfeited.
Example: A 30-day bonus claimed on 1 January expires at midnight on 31 January regardless of how much you've wagered.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus stays in your account throughout wagering but can never itself be withdrawn โ only the net winnings above the bonus amount can be cashed out. A non-sticky (cashable) bonus can be withdrawn after wagering alongside your winnings.
Example: With a sticky RM200 bonus, if your balance grows to RM500, you can withdraw RM300 (the RM200 bonus stays and is later removed).
Maximum Cash-out (Bonus Cap)
Many welcome bonuses cap the total amount you can withdraw that originated from bonus funds. This means even if you spin a massive jackpot using bonus money, your cashout may be limited to a fixed multiplier of the original bonus (e.g., 5x or 10x the bonus amount).
Example: A 5x max cashout on a RM100 bonus means the most you can withdraw from bonus-derived winnings is RM500, even if your balance shows RM5,000.
