Offer terms of the brands we link to
Bonus terms as published by each operator on the date shown. The third column is our own calculation from those published terms: the amount you'd need to bet before a welcome bonus becomes withdrawable on a $100 deposit, where the terms state a single wagering multiple on deposit + bonus. Amounts are in US dollars because that's how the operators publish them.

| VegasAces | VAWELCOME1: 250% up to $2,500, min deposit $20, 40x (deposit+bonus), max release $10,000 | $14,000 turnover before bonus funds can be withdrawn (on a $100 deposit, bonus $250) | vegasaces.com/promotions, 2026-10-12 |
| SlotsParadise | WELCOME1: 250% up to $2,500, min deposit $50, 35x (deposit+bonus), max cashout $5,000 | $12,250 turnover before bonus funds can be withdrawn (on a $100 deposit, bonus $250) | slotsparadise.com/promotions, 2026-10-12 |

What the numbers say
A 250% match looks generous until you see the turnover: at 40x on deposit + bonus, a $100 deposit means $14,000 of bets before the bonus money is yours. At 35x, it's $12,250. Every bet in that turnover pays the house edge, so most players lose the bonus before clearing it. That's not a reason never to take one; it's a reason to read the multiple before you click accept.
What we couldn't verify
- We haven't measured real withdrawal times ourselves; the times above are what operators publish.
- Bonus terms change often. If what you see on the operator's site differs from this table, the operator's current terms win, and please tell us.
Method
We read each source directly (regulator sites, legislation, operator terms and promotions pages) and recorded the date. The table is re-checked when a regulator or operator announces a change. Full methodology: how we work. Try the maths yourself with our odds and margin calculator.
