How to Read Promotional Terms: Rollover, Game Contribution, Limits & Expiry
Promotional terms can contain conditions that are easy to overlook. This guide explains how to read rollover requirements, game contribution rules, maximum bet conditions, expiry periods, eligibility requirements and withdrawal-related limits.
OVERVIEW
Why the Headline Is Not the Whole Promotion
A promotional headline normally describes only part of an offer. The full terms may contain additional rules explaining who qualifies, how promotional credit can be used and what conditions must be completed before certain actions are available.
Important sections can include rollover requirements, eligible-game contribution, maximum bet limits, expiry periods, account eligibility and withdrawal-related conditions.
This page explains how to understand those terms. For information about promotional credit itself, see our Promotional Credit Guide.
Rollover
Check how much eligible play is required and how the requirement is calculated.
Contribution
Check whether different games count fully, partially or not at all.
Limits
Review maximum bet and any promotion-specific withdrawal conditions.
Expiry
Check when the offer, promotional credit or requirement expires.
ROLLOVER
How to Read a Rollover Requirement
Rollover, sometimes described as a wagering or play-through requirement, generally refers to an amount of eligible activity that must be completed under the promotion's rules.
The important point is not simply whether a rollover exists. Users should also check what amount the multiplier applies to and which activity contributes toward completing the requirement.
Multiplier
Check the number attached to the rollover requirement and how it is defined.
Calculation Base
Determine whether the requirement is calculated from promotional credit, another qualifying amount or a combination defined in the terms.
Game Contribution
Confirm which eligible activity actually counts toward the requirement.
Completion Period
Check whether the rollover must be completed within a defined period.
SIMPLE EXAMPLE
How a Multiplier Can Be Interpreted
If terms state that a qualifying promotional amount is subject to a multiplier, the required eligible activity is generally calculated using the amount and multiplier defined by those specific terms. Always use the promotion's own calculation rules rather than assuming that every offer works the same way.
GAME CONTRIBUTION
Why Eligible Games and Contribution Rates Matter
A game being available on a platform does not automatically mean it contributes fully toward a promotional requirement.
Terms may specify that certain categories contribute at different rates, while some games may be excluded completely. This can affect how quickly a rollover requirement progresses.
WHAT TO CHECK
Game Contribution Terms
- Eligible game categories
- Contribution percentage
- Excluded games
- Restricted titles
- Provider-specific exclusions
- Maximum bet conditions
DO NOT ASSUME
Availability ≠ Eligibility
- Every game counts equally
- Every provider is eligible
- All bets contribute fully
- Rules remain unchanged
- Every account has identical terms
- Old campaign terms still apply

ELIGIBILITY
Who Is Eligible for a Promotion?
Promotional availability does not necessarily mean every account qualifies. Eligibility can depend on the conditions attached to the individual campaign.
Terms may refer to account status, campaign period, qualifying activity, regional availability or other requirements. Users should check the current offer rather than assuming eligibility from an older promotion.
Account Eligibility
Check whether the promotion applies to all eligible accounts or only to a defined group.
Campaign Period
Confirm when the promotion begins and when eligibility ends.
Qualifying Conditions
Check whether a specific qualifying action is required.
Regional Conditions
Availability may depend on applicable regional or platform conditions.
