Bonus code

The tournament's first-party app sign-up, with the desk's plain-language read

A bonus code is a single-use code that unlocks a first-deposit match on the tournament's first-party app. The desk does not run the offer — the tournament organiser does. The desk provides a plain-language read on what the code does, who is eligible, and what the small print says.

How the bonus code works

In five short steps. The desk's read on the offer, not the marketing copy.

1

Get the code from the desk

The desk publishes the current bonus code on this page. The code is the tournament's first-party affiliate code, not a third-party offer.

2

Open the first-party app

Use the PLAY NOW button to open the tournament's first-party app. The button takes you to a first-party route that the desk does not control.

3

Create an account

Create an account on the first-party app. The desk does not see the account details, the deposit, or the wager. The desk is paid a flat fee for the click, not a percentage of any wager.

4

Enter the bonus code

Enter the bonus code at the first deposit screen. The code unlocks a first-deposit match — a percentage match on the first deposit, up to a cap.

5

Read the small print

Before depositing, read the offer's small print on the first-party app. Wagering requirements, eligible markets, time limits and jurisdiction restrictions all apply.

The small print, in plain language

The five things the desk always flags before a reader uses a bonus code.

Wagering requirements

Most first-deposit matches come with a wagering requirement. The deposit and the bonus must be wagered a set number of times before any winnings can be withdrawn. The requirement is usually 5x to 10x the deposit plus the bonus.

Eligible markets

The bonus usually applies to a specific set of markets — most often the competitive circuit the desk covers. Other markets (slot, table games, lottery) may be excluded or contribute less to the wagering requirement.

Time limits

Most bonuses expire. The time limit is usually 7 to 30 days from the date the bonus is credited. Unused bonuses and any associated winnings are forfeited at the end of the time limit.

Jurisdiction restrictions

The first-party app may not be available in every jurisdiction. The desk does not maintain a jurisdiction list — the first-party app's sign-up flow will tell you whether the offer is available where you are.

What the desk will and will not say about a bonus code

The desk's editorial line on bonus code coverage, in plain language.

The desk publishes the current bonus code for the tournament's first-party app. The desk does not promote the code as a deal. The desk does not run a "best bonus code" comparison. The desk does not write about the code in a way that suggests the desk is endorsing the offer.

The desk's editorial position is that a bonus code is a contract between the reader and the first-party app. The desk's role is to publish the code and to provide a plain-language read on the small print. The desk does not profit from the reader's use of the code beyond the flat fee the desk receives for the click.

What the desk recommends before using a code

Three short pieces of advice, in plain language.

1 · Read the small print

Every bonus code has small print. Wagering requirements, eligible markets, time limits, jurisdiction restrictions — all of them apply. The desk's review pages summarise the small print for the current offer. The first-party app's sign-up flow is the authoritative source.

2 · Set a deposit limit first

The first-party app has a deposit limit feature in the responsible play section of the account page. The desk recommends setting a deposit limit before using a bonus code. A deposit limit is the single most useful responsible play tool the first-party app offers.

3 · Don't chase the wagering

If the wagering requirement is not met within the time limit, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited. The desk's view is that chasing a wagering requirement is the most common path to harmful play. If the wagering requirement feels like a lot, it is probably a lot.
