Bonus Terms Explained in Plain English
Online casino bonuses can look confusing the first time you see them. Here's your quick-reference guide to the most common bonus terms you'll encounter at cg77 and other Philippine online casinos. Understanding these before you claim will save you time and frustration.
Always read the T&C before claiming any bonus. Terms vary between platforms and promotion types.
Wagering / Rollover Requirement
This is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings. It's the most important number to check when claiming any promotion.
Example: A ₱1,000 bonus with 15x wagering means you need to place a total of ₱15,000 in bets before that bonus converts to withdrawable cash.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
While playing with active bonus funds, most casinos cap your maximum stake per bet — typically between ₱250 and ₱500. Exceeding this limit often voids the bonus entirely.
Example: If the max bet rule is ₱300, placing a ₱500 slot spin during bonus play could cancel your remaining bonus balance without warning.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally toward clearing your wagering requirement. Slots typically contribute 100%, while table games like blackjack or baccarat may only contribute 10–20%.
Example: ₱1,000 wagered on slots clears ₱1,000 of rollover. The same ₱1,000 on baccarat (10% contribution) only clears ₱100.
Bonus Expiry Window
Bonuses are time-limited. Common windows are 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days from the date of claiming. If you don't complete the wagering in time, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited.
Example: A 7-day welcome bonus claimed on a Monday expires by the following Sunday midnight (Philippine Standard Time).
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus stays in your bonus balance and cannot be withdrawn — only the winnings you generate from it can be cashed out. A non-sticky bonus gets added to your real-money balance and can be withdrawn after meeting wagering.
Example: With a ₱500 sticky bonus, if you run it up to ₱3,000 and meet wagering, you can cash out ₱2,500 in winnings, but not the original ₱500 bonus.
Maximum Cash-Out from Bonus
Even after completing wagering, some bonuses cap how much you can withdraw from bonus-derived winnings. This protects operators from being hit by extreme outlier wins.
Example: A free spin promotion with a ₱5,000 max cash-out means even if your spins generate ₱20,000, you can only withdraw ₱5,000 of it.
