The bonus terms we do not hold, and where to read them

BR

Bonus Radar Editorial

Published 7 min read

Open any offer on this site and look for the wagering requirement. There is no line for it, and that is not a layout decision. The column exists in our data and it is empty — on every row we serve, along with the start date, the end date, the promo code, the game and the provider.

Empty is worth separating from thin. A field that is filled in for the operators who publish tidily and blank for the ones who do not is a coverage problem, and a coverage problem can be worked around by preferring the rows that have what you need. This is not that. There is no row in what we serve with a wagering requirement on it, so there is nothing to prefer and no filter to apply.

An amount in the wrong currency

A few rows do carry a money figure — a minimum deposit, or a ceiling on the bonus. Those figures appear nowhere on the site, and the reason is not the operator's doing. Every one of them is denominated in a currency that none of the markets this site serves uses.

That comes down to where the collector stands. The scraper fetches each promotions page over the network, from wherever it happens to run, and operators serve those pages by IP address. It was shown a page priced for somebody else's wallet, and it wrote down what it was shown.

A figure in the wrong currency is worse than a blank field, because it looks like an answer. Somebody reads a minimum deposit and hears it in their own money, and nothing on the page tells them not to. So the mapping layer refuses an amount whose currency we know to be an artefact of the scrape, and every surface downstream of it — the offer page, the cards, the category listings, the page metadata, the structured data — gets nothing instead of something plausible. That one is a decision. The empty columns above are not.

Why a promotions page does not carry a requirement

What a collector reads is the operator's public promotions page: a grid of tiles, each with a name, an image and a sentence. That page exists to make you click a tile. It is not built to be read by a machine, and the terms that decide what an offer costs sit one step further in.

A tile links onward to a rules document — "Terms of the promotion", "Bonus rules", or a plain "Terms and conditions" pointing at a general page with a bonus section buried inside it. Sometimes that document is reachable only once you are logged in, which puts it out of reach of anything reading the public site. When it is public, the requirement tends to be prose rather than a labelled field: a multiplier, a base and a qualifying condition, in a sentence, in a section about something else.

Reading a grid of tiles is one job. Following every tile into its own rules document and lifting a requirement out of a paragraph is a different and harder job, and it is one we have not done. That is the entire explanation. It is not restraint and it is not a design principle. The second pass does not exist, and we are not putting a date on when it will.

What the listing can say, and what it cannot

What our listing can say honestly is narrow and worth stating exactly: an offer existed, and the operator's own page described it this way on the day we read it. The name, the description, the type, the country it was shown for, a link back to the page it came from, and a date. Open an operator page we publish — 1xBet, or Mostbet — and that is the shape of everything on it. Or open a single offer and read down it: the title the operator wrote, the type, the countries, the date, and then nothing where the terms would be.

What it cannot say is what clearing the offer costs. That is the figure that decides whether a bonus is worth taking at all, and we do not have it. The same headline can cover two obligations that are nothing like each other, and the whole of the difference lives in a document our row does not link to. On a welcome bonus or a reload bonus that gap is the entire question. On a cashback listing the question changes shape — cashback is calculated from what you already staked — but whether it arrives as withdrawable money or as a bonus with a requirement of its own is, again, in the terms and not in our row.

Where the requirement hides on an operator's site

Nothing below is in our data. All of it is on the operator's page, and reading it is the part we cannot do for you — so here is what each term looks like when you find it, and which half of it changes the answer.

Read the base, not the multiplier

A requirement is a multiplier applied to a base. The multiplier is the part everybody quotes and the part you will find first. The base is where the money is. The same multiplier applied to the bonus, to your deposit, or to deposit plus bonus does not describe the same obligation, and at a given multiplier a base of deposit plus bonus asks for more turnover than either part alone. That is arithmetic, not an opinion about the offer. So the part to read slowly is not the number. It is the noun immediately after it.

Which games count, and at what rate

A requirement is not discharged by any stake you happen to place. The rules document sets out which games count toward it and in what proportion — some in full, some at a reduced rate, some not at all, sometimes named title by title. That changes the real size of the obligation, and it can quietly exclude the game the bonus was advertised alongside. Look for a heading with "contribution" or "weighting" in it, and where there is a table, read the table rather than the sentence summarising it.

The cap on your stake while a requirement is open

Look for a limit on the size of a single bet or spin that applies for as long as a requirement is outstanding. It is easy to miss, because it lives as a sentence in a document rather than as anything printed on the tile. What breaching it costs is set out in the same document, and that is the sentence to read before you place the bet that would test it.

The clock, and what it runs from

Where a requirement carries a deadline, the question worth asking is what the deadline runs from: the moment the bonus was credited, the moment you opted in, or the moment you deposited. Those are not the same moment, and which one applies is written in the terms. Our data holds no start date and no end date for anything, so nothing in our listing can tell you whether a deadline exists on a given offer, never mind when it began. What a date on a bonus listing means is about the one date we do have, which is the date we read the page — a fact about us, not about the offer.

Whether you have to opt in first

A last mechanism, because it is the one that turns a claim into an argument with support: some offers require you to opt in before you deposit, and a deposit made first cannot always be attached to the offer afterwards. Whether an offer works that way is stated on the operator's page. Whether it can be put right after the fact is a question for the operator, and not one we can answer for you.

The operator's page is the authority

None of this is us telling you what to conclude. We are not in a position to. We do not hold the terms, nobody here has read them on your behalf, and the operator can rewrite them between our reading of the promotions page and your arrival on it. What we can do is say where the answer is kept and when we looked.

That asymmetry is worth being blunt about. If our row and the operator's page disagree about anything at all, the operator's page is right and our row is old — not out of politeness, but because they can change theirs silently and we read ours once. And where listings under different brand names look identical, they sometimes are identical: the same item published under more than one name, which is its own finding and its own post, the same promotion under three brand names.

The Telegram bot reads the same rows as the website, so the same fields are missing there too. Its offer card has a wagering line defined in it, in both languages the bot speaks, positioned after the description. Nothing renders there, because the value behind it is empty on every row. If you want the figure that belongs in that line, it is on the operator's page, in a document with a dull name, in a paragraph about something else. That is where it has always been.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this listing not show a wagering requirement?+

Because the field is empty on every offer we collected. A requirement is published in the operator's own bonus terms, not on the promotions page our scraper reads.

Does a blank wagering field mean the bonus has none?+

No. A blank field means we did not collect the value, not that the operator does not set one. Assume a requirement exists until the operator's own terms for that offer say otherwise.

Where do I find the wagering requirement for an offer?+

In the operator's own terms for that offer, usually behind a rules or terms link beside the promotion and sometimes only inside a logged-in account. Read the multiplier and the base it applies to.
