A welcome bonus looks generous on the headline and tight on the terms. The bonus-code answer on this desk is the part that helps you read the terms before you commit a deposit. The four lines that decide a bonus are: headline, rollover, expiry and eligible markets. If any of those is unclear, the bonus is unclear.
The four lines that decide a bonus
A bonus T&C document is longer than four lines, but four lines do most of the work. The headline tells you what you receive; the rollover tells you what you must bet before you can withdraw; the expiry tells you how long you have; the eligible markets tell you which contests count toward the rollover.
If any of those four is missing or unclear, the bonus is missing or unclear. The desk does not publish a "guaranteed" bonus amount and does not publish a "limited time" countdown that is not on the help-centre article.
Rollover math, decoded
Identify the headline number
A "100% up to ₹X" headline is the maximum bonus you can receive on a deposit, not the amount that lands in your wallet immediately.
Find the rollover multiple
A 6x rollover on the bonus means you must place bets totalling six times the bonus amount before the bonus (and any winnings from it) become withdrawable.
Check minimum odds
Most bonuses require bets to be placed above a minimum odds threshold. Bets below the threshold often do not count toward the rollover.
Calculate the effective bonus
A 100% headline with a 12x rollover and 1.5 minimum odds is a different proposition from a 100% headline with a 6x rollover and 1.2 minimum odds. The desk reads both.
Expiry windows and the calendar check
Most welcome bonuses expire within 30 to 90 days. The expiry window is the period in which you must complete the rollover; after that, the bonus and any winnings tied to it are forfeit. The expiry window is published in the T&Cs and on the help-centre article; the desk treats the help-centre article as the source of truth.
What the headline does not tell you
The headline does not tell you the rollover, the minimum odds, the eligible markets, the expiry window, the deposit method restrictions, or the maximum withdrawable amount from the bonus. All six are in the T&Cs. Reading the T&Cs before you commit is the single most useful thing you can do with this brief.
Eligible markets and what is excluded
Most bonuses exclude a long list of markets from the rollover calculation: live odds below a threshold, certain contest types, certain sports, and certain deposit methods. The exclusions list is in the T&Cs and on the help-centre article; the desk re-reads this brief whenever the platform updates the exclusions list.
Before you commit
Read the T&Cs end to end
Yes, all of it. The bonus is described in the headline; the bonus is governed by the terms.
Note the rollover multiple
Calculate the total you must bet before the bonus becomes withdrawable.
Note the expiry window
Set a calendar reminder. Most bonuses expire in 30 to 90 days.
Check deposit-method restrictions
Some bonuses exclude certain deposit methods (for example, some e-wallets). Read the T&Cs for the list.
