The bonus, in the multiple of your own deposit

A bonus can be turned into a number you can plan around only when three things are published together: the percentage awarded, the multiplier that has to be staked, and what that multiplier is applied to. Take away any one of the three and the offer stops being arithmetic and becomes a poster. That is not a rhetorical point — it is the state of 9 of the 12 records in this register. Plinko, and the two settings you control.

The third figure is the one that moves the answer most and gets printed least. A multiplier applied to the bonus alone is one sum; the same multiplier applied to the deposit and the bonus added together is a much larger one, because the deposit — your own money, which was never a gift — is counted into the requirement as well. Two records here advertise the same two digits and cost three and a half times as much as each other. Live tables, and the card on the door.

The starting figure is €100 in every case, so the three are comparable. It is a figure chosen to make the arithmetic legible, not a suggestion about what to deposit.

Rainbet advertises 250% and Shuffle advertises 100%. On the banner that is a gap of 150 percentage points in one direction. In stakes it is a gap of 70 multiples of your own deposit in the other: the larger percentage is also the more expensive one to clear, because both the credit and the requirement grow together. DuckDice: what is written down.

Read the fourth column before the second. It is the one field in the whole offer that changes the answer by a factor rather than by a fraction, and it is almost never on the banner that brought you to the page.

• The maximum bet while a bonus is live. None of the twelve publishes it as a figure in a place this register could read, which is why the bonus block tops out at 15 of its 20 points across the whole list.
• How much each game counts. A spin on one title may count in full towards the requirement and a hand at a table a fraction of it. That sits in the rules panel of the individual game, not in the terms.
• The deadline. A requirement with a clock on it is a different offer from the same requirement without one, and the listings rarely carry both.

Several records attach a number of spins to the deposit. A spin is a fixed stake on a title the operator chooses, and whatever it wins usually lands as bonus credit carrying the same requirement as the rest. It is therefore part of the same sum, not an addition to it — which is why the count of spins earns no points in this register at all.
