Light Casino bonus policy

Read them together. A modest multiplier with a low bet ceiling and a short deadline can be harder to clear than a larger multiplier with room to play.

Game contribution

The multiplier on its own tells you little. What matters is how much you will have to stake, and what staking that much costs on average. The arithmetic below works the same in any currency.

Worked with our own rules: a bonus of 100, wagering of 30× the bonus alone, a maximum bet of 5, and slots counting 100% and table games 10%. The slot in the example has an RTP of 96%; the roulette is European single-zero.

1. 1 Work out the stakes the requirement asks for Bonus × multiplier: 100 × 30 = 3 000 in stakes that count.
2. 2 Adjust for the game you play On the slot every stake counts in full, so you stake 3 000. On roulette each stake counts for a tenth of itself, so you stake 3 000 ÷ 10% = 30 000.
3. 3 Estimate the average cost of that play Average cost = stakes × house edge, and the house edge is 100% minus the RTP. On the slot: 3 000 × 4% = 120. European roulette has one zero among 37 pockets, a house edge of 1 in 37 (2.70%): 30 000 ÷ 37 ≈ 811.
4. 4 Compare the cost with the bonus The bonus is 100. Clearing it costs 120 on average on the slot, and about 811 on roulette. When the average cost of clearing a bonus is larger than the bonus, you finish with something to withdraw only if your results run well ahead of the average.
5. 5 Check how many bets the ceiling allows At our maximum bet of 5, 3 000 in stakes takes at least 3 000 ÷ 5 = 600 bets, and 30 000 takes at least 6 000. The ceiling decides how long clearing takes, not only what it costs.

Our multiplier applies to the bonus alone. Were it applied to the deposit plus the bonus, a deposit of 100 with a bonus of 100 at 30× would need 6 000 in stakes that count: the stakes, the average cost and the number of bets would all double, while the bonus stayed at 100. Check which amount a multiplier applies to before you compare two offers.

RTP and house edge describe averages over a very large number of rounds, and a single player’s result can land far from them in either direction. Game fairness at Light Casino explains the difference between the RTP a game is built to pay and what it pays in one session.

Some games cannot be used to clear a bonus: jackpot slots, and games on which a requirement could be met at very little cost because their house edge is very low.

The excluded games

The jackpot slots Mega Moolah, Divine Fortune and Gold Blitz Extreme, and every baccarat table.

Playing them during a bonus

Stakes on an excluded game count 0% towards wagering, and using bonus money on one to convert it without risk ends the bonus and removes its winnings.

Check the list before you accept a bonus. If a game you enjoy is on it, that is a good reason to play without one.

While a bonus is active, two balances run side by side. The order in which they are staked, and what happens if you withdraw before the requirement is complete, decide how much of your balance you can take out along the way.

Which is staked first

Your own money is always staked first; bonus money is used only once your own balance reaches zero.

Withdrawing during a bonus

You can withdraw your own money at any time. Doing so while a bonus is active cancels the bonus and removes its winnings; your own money and what it won are paid as normal.

Declining a bonus

Every bonus is opt-in: nothing is added unless you choose it in the cashier — an offer before you deposit, a loyalty reward when you claim it — and you can decline any offer before it is credited.

A deposit made without a bonus carries none of the bonus conditions on this page; any rule on withdrawing deposited money is in section 6 of the terms. If you play short sessions or withdraw often, set the worked example above against simply playing without one.

These are the situations this policy covers, and what happens in each.

A bet above the maximum

One stake above 5,00 € ends the bonus and removes everything won with it, whether that bet wins or loses.

Play on an excluded game

Using bonus money on an excluded game to convert it without risk ends the bonus and removes its winnings.

The deadline passes

Whatever is left of the bonus and its winnings is removed at the deadline; your own balance is not touched.

More than one account

Every account except the first is closed, bonuses and their winnings are removed from all of them, and deposits not yet withdrawn are returned.

Bets that cover both outcomes

Equal stakes on red and on black in the same roulette spin, for example, count 0% towards wagering, and placing such bets repeatedly ends the bonus.

If you think a bonus was removed in error, start with Light Casino support. If that does not settle it, the complaints procedure sets out the next steps, and the terms and conditions hold the rules this policy sits under.
