Bonus Terms Explained in Plain English
Confusing bonus jargon puts Pakistani players at a disadvantage. Here is a straightforward breakdown of the terms you will encounter at any online casino, including 888z — so you can make informed decisions before clicking "claim".
Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus. The details matter.
Wagering Requirement / Rollover
The number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. A 10x rollover on a PKR 1,000 bonus means you must place PKR 10,000 in total bets before cashing out. Higher rollover = harder to clear.
Example: PKR 2,000 bonus × 15x rollover = PKR 30,000 in total wagers required before withdrawal.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
Most casinos cap the amount you can stake per round while using bonus funds. Breaching this limit can void your bonus entirely. At most platforms this cap sits between PKR 250 and PKR 500 per bet.
Example: If the max bet cap is PKR 500 and you place PKR 600 on a slot spin, the bonus may be forfeited.
Game Contribution Rate
Not every game counts equally toward clearing your rollover. Slots typically contribute 100%, while table games like blackjack or baccarat may only contribute 10–20%. Live dealer games often contribute 0%.
Example: PKR 1,000 wagered on a slot = PKR 1,000 toward rollover. Same amount on blackjack (10%) = only PKR 100 counted.
Bonus Expiry Window
Bonuses do not last forever. Standard expiry windows are 7, 14, or 30 days from the moment of activation. If you do not clear the rollover within this window, both the bonus and any associated winnings are removed.
Example: A 14-day bonus activated on the 1st expires on the 14th at midnight — unused balance is forfeited.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky (non-cashable) bonus stays in your account to generate winnings but can never itself be withdrawn. A non-sticky bonus is deducted before withdrawal, so only your net profit is paid out.
Example (sticky): Win PKR 5,000 with a PKR 1,000 sticky bonus — you withdraw PKR 4,000, not PKR 5,000.
Maximum Cash-Out Cap
Even after completing rollover, some bonuses limit how much you can actually withdraw. A PKR 10,000 max cash-out means any winnings above that figure are removed from your balance before payout.
Example: You clear rollover with PKR 35,000 in winnings but the cap is PKR 10,000 — you receive PKR 10,000 only.
Free Spins Winnings Value
Free spins are awarded at a fixed coin value — typically PKR 10–50 per spin. Winnings from free spins are usually credited as bonus funds subject to their own rollover requirement, not instant cash.
Example: 50 free spins at PKR 20 each = PKR 1,000 in bonus value, which may carry a separate 20x rollover.
