Bonus Abuse

A range of player activities that exploit promotional offers in a way that violates the casino's Terms and Conditions.

Whilst operators offer bonuses to attract players, these promotions are governed by strict T&Cs designed to prevent exploitation. Bonus Abuse occurs when a player systematically attempts to gain a mathematical advantage by contravening these rules.

Common examples include:
– Multi-accounting: Creating multiple accounts to claim a welcome bonus more than once.
– Bonus Stacking: Attempting to claim multiple bonuses at once where it is forbidden.
– Minimal-Risk Wagering: Placing opposing bets on games like Roulette to clear Wagering Requirements without risk.

Accusations of bonus abuse can lead to the confiscation of winnings and account closure.
