How do wagering requirements work?
Rollover calculation
A 5x requirement on 10,000 KES bonus means placing 50,000 shillings in qualifying bets. For sports bonuses, only accumulators with 3+ selections at 1.40+ odds count. Single bets don't contribute. Casino free spins require 25x-35x wagering on slots only.
Contribution rates
Sports accumulators (3+ legs, 1.40+ odds): 100%. Sports singles: 0%. Slots: 100%. Live casino: 0%. Crash games (Aviator, JetX): 50% — a 1,000 KES bet clears only 500 shillings. Virtual sports: 20%.
Common restrictions
Maximum bet limits while wagering: 5,000 KES per sports bet, 500 shillings per casino spin. Exceeding voids bonus and winnings. Complete wagering within validity (14 days sports, 7 days casino) or funds expire. Withdrawing before completion forfeits bonus.
After clearing wagering
Bonus funds convert to real money automatically once rollover fulfilled. Withdraw freely via M-Pesa, bank transfer, crypto. Check progress in Account → Bonuses, which shows remaining wagering and expiry. Tracker may lag 5-10 minutes.
Activating your bonuses
Automatic bonuses
Welcome sports, casino spins, app bonus activate automatically when meeting criteria. Credits within 5-15 minutes. If missing after 30 minutes, contact live chat with transaction ID.
Opt-in required
Friday reload, tournaments need manual opt-in before deposit. Navigate to Promotions, find offer, click "Opt In", then deposit. If depositing before opting in, bonus won't apply.
Code-based bonuses
Email/SMS promotions include codes. Enter in Cashier → Deposit → "Promo Code" field before deposit. Codes are case-sensitive and expire. Expired code results in normal deposit.
Checking active bonuses
View in Account Settings → My Bonuses. Shows type, remaining wagering, expiry, eligible games. Cancel unwanted bonuses here, though cancellation forfeits funds immediately.
Maximizing your bonus value
Start with sports bonus
5x wagering on accumulators is easier than 35x on casino spins. Deposit 4,000 KES for 4,000 bonus, build safe 3-leg accumulators at 1.50-1.80 odds. Clear 20,000 KES rollover in 5-7 bets.
Time Friday reload
Don't claim if you have active bonus — they can't stack. Clear current bonus by Thursday, then opt-in Friday. Deposit exactly 10,000 KES for full 5,000 match.
Use cashback as backup
Cashback applies regardless of bonus status. If losing streak hits, 10-15% returns Monday. Some skip deposit bonuses during bad runs to keep cashback clean.
High RTP slots
Stick to 96.5%+ RTP slots: Blood Suckers (98%), 888 Gold (97.52%). Better returns increase wagering completion chances. Avoid low RTP branded slots (94-95%).
Track manually
Tracker lags 10-15 minutes. Keep mental math to avoid early withdrawal. With 25,000 KES remaining, need roughly five 5,000 shilling accumulator bets to clear.
Read terms first
Each bonus has terms via "T&C" link on card. Include excluded games, max bets, expiry. Violating voids bonus instantly. Two minutes reading prevents forfeitures.
