Bonus Terms Explained
Bonuses look great on the surface but the fine print is where players get caught out. This guide breaks down the six most important bonus terms in plain English — no jargon, no confusion. At sjili, we believe informed players are happier players.
⚠️ Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus.
Wagering Requirement / Rollover
This is the number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings derived from it. A 10x rollover on a ₱1,000 bonus means you need to place ₱10,000 in total bets before cashing out. X15 = ₱15,000 in bets. X20 = ₱20,000 in bets.
Example: ₱500 bonus × 15x = ₱7,500 wagering required before withdrawal.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
Most online casinos — sjili included — cap the maximum bet you can place while using bonus funds. Exceeding this limit, even accidentally, may void your bonus and any associated winnings.
Example: Typical cap is ₱250–₱500 per round/spin while bonus is active. Check your specific bonus terms.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally toward clearing a wagering requirement. Slots typically count 100%, meaning every peso wagered on slots counts toward the rollover. Table games like baccarat or blackjack often only count 10–20%.
Example: ₱1,000 on blackjack at 10% contribution = only ₱100 counted toward your rollover.
Bonus Expiry
Bonuses don't last forever. Most have a 7, 14, or 30-day validity window from the date they are claimed or credited. If the wagering requirement is not met within this window, the bonus and any bonus-derived winnings are forfeited.
Example: A 30-day window on a ₱1,000 bonus means you must complete rollover by Day 30 or the bonus disappears.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus stays in your account permanently and cannot be withdrawn — only the winnings generated from it can be cashed out. A non-sticky bonus is separated from your real-money balance and can itself be withdrawn once wagering is complete.
Example: Sticky ₱500 bonus — you can withdraw ₱800 in winnings but not the original ₱500 bonus itself.
Maximum Cash-Out from Bonus
Even after completing all wagering requirements, there is often a cap on how much you can withdraw from a bonus promotion. This protects the operator from extreme jackpot-from-bonus scenarios.
Example: Max cashout of ₱5,000 on a ₱200 free spin bonus — even if you win ₱50,000, you can only withdraw ₱5,000.
