Bonus terms: the clauses that matter at the table
General bonus terms are the document almost nobody reads before the first offer and everybody looks for after a rejected withdrawal. For a live table player and a bettor, a few clauses carry particular weight.
Excluded games and forbidden bets
At table games, the terms may forbid certain bets while a bonus is active: covering both colours at roulette, covering more than a set share of the numbers, betting both sides at baccarat, doubling at blackjack above a certain amount. These rules stop players from clearing wagering at almost no risk.
Maximum bet
While a bonus is active, a round or a slip cannot exceed a set amount. At live tables, where the table minimum may already be high, the cap is reached quickly. Example: a cap of 5 per round at a baccarat table with a 4 minimum (example figures in your account currency, not Bilionro terms) — you can hardly play two positions at once.
Strategies treated as abuse
- Very low-risk bets used only to clear wagering.
- Sudden stake changes between bonus and non-bonus play.
- Multiple accounts or coordination between players.
- Buying slot features where the terms forbid it.
Deadlines and expiry
An unused bonus expires, usually together with its winnings. Some offers have two deadlines: one to activate and one to complete wagering.
Which balance is used first
Many operators use real balance first, then bonus balance. That means an early withdrawal request can cancel the bonus. Read the clause before withdrawing; for the steps see withdrawal.
Opting out
You can usually cancel a bonus from the account. The bonus balance and related winnings are removed; real balance stays. It is a useful exit when an offer does not fit the way you play at the table.
