Welcome bonus

The bonus a casino gives you when you first register and deposit. Standard format is a percentage match (100% is common) up to a cap (€200 to €1000).

Multi-tier welcome packages spread the match across 2-3 deposits (“300% up to €1500 across 3 deposits” = 100% on deposit 1, 100% on deposit 2, 100% on deposit 3). Each layer has its own wagering.

Welcome bonuses have the highest headline rates on the market but also the highest wagering (usually 35× to 50×) and the tightest max-bet during wagering (€5 is standard).

The EV depends entirely on the wager multiplier and cashout cap. See /bonuses for a live comparison.
