Bonuses - What’s The Big Fuss?

At Sportingbet you get many bonuses and there are plenty of promotions, so things can get confusing, we know. So we thought it good to put together a small bonus guide of sorts to simplify a few things.

1. Triple Welcome Bonus

At Sportingbet, you are always spoiled for choice with not one, but three riveting Welcome Offers for new customers. You will receive these stunning offers when you sign up with Sportingbet and make your first deposit.

If you wager R50 and above within 3 days (aka - The Promotional Period) of registering , you can earn up to R3,000 in bonus funds PLUS an enthralling 300 Free Spins, spread across your first 3 deposits. Please note that bonus rewards will only be credited upon a successful deposit from a "new" non-depositor.

Please bear in mind that the 1Voucher deposit option will not be considered a valid mechanism during the 1st three Welcome Offers - 

1st Deposit:

100% up to R1,000 + 100 Free Spins!

• After registering and opting in, you have a period of 72 hours to deposit and receive your bonus funds and free spins. After which, you will then have a period of 48 hours to deposit and claim your 2nd Deposit Bonus.

2nd Deposit:

50% up to R1,000 + 100 Free Spins!

• After receiving the 2nd Deposit Bonus, you have a final 48 hours to deposit and claim your 3rd Deposit Bonus offer. 

3rd Deposit:

75% up to R1,000 + 100 Free Spins!

*Only credited upon successful deposit from a “new” non-depositor. 1Voucher deposit option will not be considered a valid mechanism during the 1st three Welcome Offers.

2. Promotional Bonuses

These are bonuses that you will receive as part of our on-site promotions and are communicated to you, the Eligible Player, via Email, SMS, Push notification, or our informative Inbox messages via the Sportingbet app.

These would include promotions like Up For 6, Weekend Warrior or Game Of The Week, which offer amazing bespoke bonuses.

If a bonus hasn’t been awarded it’s probably because the promotional Terms and Conditions weren’t met. Please review that:

• You've opted in;
• You've accepted the T&Cs before depositing;
• You've deposited the right amount using an eligible payment method (some promotions may exclude certain payment options);
• You’ve wagered on the correct games;
• The promotional period has not expired.

It could be that you are trying to play your bonus on a game it isn't valid for, or that it hasn't been activated yet. Make sure to check your My Promos page to ensure your bonus is active. If it is, tap the drop-down arrow and have a look through the games that your bonus is eligible for.

Deleting an active bonus from your account will let you play without any restrictions and withdraw money immediately but this has to be done before you play with the bonus and keep in mind that deleting a bonus will remove it from your account and, in most cases, any winnings you have earned from it. Deletion cannot be undone.

When you receive one of our bonuses, it'll come with a ‘wagering requirement’. This means that a certain amount of funds will need to be wagered using your ‘restricted funds’ before any winnings can be added to your cash balance.

Different bonuses carry different wagering requirements. To find the ones for your desired bonus and your progress towards them, visit My Promos.

From here, scroll through the promotions until you find your active offer. Click on it and you'll be shown your progress.

Any winnings you earn using your bonus will be restricted until your wagering requirements have been completed, this includes withdrawing funds. You'll only be able to withdraw your winnings once the bonus' wagering has been met. 

To check the wagering requirement, and your progress towards it, tap the Menu button and select My Bonuses then tap on the bonus. You’ll see a bar that shows your progress so far, and the remaining amount to achieve the requirement.

Still not completely sure what a wagering requirement is? Hopefully we can answer your questions in our help pages, here.

Bonuses and promotional offers also expire! Therefore it is crucial that you read, understand and opt in or take up any offers or promotions that are communicated to you as soon as possible and actively take part, because most of these are only valid for 24 to 48 hours!

Now that you have the basics of how bonuses work when sports betting with Sportingbet, go ahead and give it a try!
