Bonus Terms Explained
Plain-English guide to the jargon you'll see on every bonus page
Wagering Requirement / Rollover
This is the number of times you must bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw it as real cash. A "15x rollover" on a RM 500 bonus means you must place RM 7,500 in total bets before cashing out. Always check whether the requirement applies to the bonus alone or bonus + deposit combined.
Example: RM 200 bonus × 15x = RM 3,000 in qualifying bets required.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
When a bonus is active on your account, most platforms cap individual bets at RM 250–500 per round. Exceeding this limit can void your bonus and any winnings derived from it. Stick within the cap until wagering is complete.
Example: Cap is RM 250 per spin — any single bet above RM 250 while bonus is live may be disqualified.
Game Contribution
Not all games count equally towards wagering. Slots typically contribute 100% of every bet. Table games like blackjack or baccarat usually contribute only 10–20%, meaning a RM 100 blackjack bet only counts RM 10–20 toward your rollover target.
Example: RM 1,000 wagered on baccarat (10% contribution) = RM 100 counted toward rollover.
Bonus Expiry
Every bonus has a time limit — typically 7, 14, or 30 days from the date it is credited. If you haven't met the wagering requirement within this window, the bonus and any bonus-derived winnings are forfeited. Set a reminder the day you claim.
Example: Bonus credited on 1 June with 14-day expiry — must complete wagering by 14 June.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus cannot itself be withdrawn — only the profits you generate from it can be cashed out once wagering is done. A non-sticky bonus is added alongside your deposit and can be withdrawn as cash after wagering. GGPoker clearly labels each promotion type.
Example (Sticky): RM 300 sticky bonus + winnings of RM 800 → you can withdraw RM 800 (the winnings), not the RM 300 bonus itself.
Maximum Cash-Out
Some bonuses cap the total profit you can withdraw. For example, a "max cashout 5x bonus" on RM 200 means you can withdraw no more than RM 1,000 regardless of how much you actually won. Check this figure before playing high-variance games with bonus funds.
Example: RM 100 bonus, 5x max cashout cap = maximum RM 500 withdrawal from bonus-derived winnings.
Free Spins Value
Free spins are typically fixed at a set bet value (e.g., RM 0.10 or RM 0.50 per spin) regardless of your normal betting preference. Winnings from free spins usually carry their own wagering requirement before withdrawal, often between 20x–40x the total free spin winnings.
Example: 50 free spins at RM 0.50 each, total win RM 30 × 25x wagering = RM 750 required before cashout.
Practical Advice: Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus at GGPoker or any other platform. Understand the wagering requirement, expiry date, and max cashout before depositing.
