FOLLOW THE MONEY. CHECK THE BASIS.

A bigger bonus can hide a bigger job.

I built this workbench to turn promotional percentages into something you can inspect: Canadian dollars in bets. Try a case file, change the terms, and watch what moves.

01 / THE WORKBENCH

Put two offers on the table.

ILLUSTRATIVE OFFERS

Same deposit, same bonus, same multiplier. Including the deposit doubles the requirement in this example.

A Offer A

Use the terms for your specific offer and game. The stake is an example, not a suggested bet.

B Offer B

Use the terms for your specific offer and game. The stake is an example, not a suggested bet.

02 / THE REVEAL

The wagering behind the headline.

Enter the terms above and choose Inspect these offers.

Total bets are turnover, not the deposit you need, a predicted loss, or a promise that a balance will last. This compares workload only. It does not rank overall value or predict a withdrawal.

03 / THE PAPER TRAIL

The calculation, without the disguise.

01

Find the bonus.

Deposit × match percentage, limited by the bonus cap. A C$100 deposit at 100%, capped at C$100, gives a C$100 bonus.

02

Check the basis.

35x on that bonus means C$3,500. Apply the same 35x to the C$100 deposit plus C$100 bonus and it becomes C$7,000.

03

Account for the game.

At 20% contribution, only C$1 in every C$5 wagered counts. A C$3,500 requirement then represents C$17,500 in actual bets on that game.

04 / THE CLAUSES YOU STILL NEED

The calculator opens the vault.
The terms tell the whole story.

A smaller wagering total alone does not make an offer better. Before accepting anything, check these six clauses.

Expiry and your own limits

Check when the bonus and free spins expire. Do not extend your playing time or spending to chase a deadline. You can decline the offer.

Excluded games and changing contributions

This tool assumes one constant game contribution. Some titles count differently or not at all. Check the specific eligible-game list.

Maximum bets and side bets

A game allowing a stake does not mean the bonus allows it. Check how the rule treats feature purchases, side bets and multiple wagers.

Maximum cashouts

A promotional withdrawal cap can change what an offer means, even after wagering is complete.

Withdrawals and verification

Completing wagering is one condition. Account checks, payment rules and the treatment of deposited funds still depend on the terms.

Bonus restrictions and eligibility

This tool models a simple deposit-match bonus. It does not model staged deposits, free-spin winnings, sticky bonuses or every operator's rounding rules.

KEEP YOUR MAGNIFYING GLASS HANDY

Three case files. Fewer surprises.

The best move can be walking away.

A bonus is optional. Keep your own spending and time limits, whether an offer looks good or not.
