Once your deposit goes through and the bonus funds or free spins show up, the real work begins. The bonus money typically stays in a separate balance from your real cash. As you play eligible games, a progress bar in your account will show your wagering. Keep a personal note of the deadline to satisfy the wagering requirements. These deadlines can be ranging from 3 to 30 days. Pay careful attention to the maximum bet limit per spin or hand while the bonus is live. Violating this rule, even by accident, can lead to the bonus and any winnings from it voided. It’s a annoying mistake that’s simple to avoid if you’re careful.
