What to check in a slot bonus

  • Wagering requirement

    A €100 bonus with 30x wagering means €3,000 in bets before you can withdraw.

  • Game contribution

    Slots often count in full, but some games count less or are excluded.

  • Maximum bet

    Going over the maximum bet while using bonus funds can void the bonus.

  • Expiry and limits

    Check the expiry date and any maximum cashout before you opt in.

Irish regulation for slot bonuses 2026

Ireland’s gambling licensing framework is established by the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 and is being implemented in phases. Requirements depend on the activity and legal entity. An application or a licence from another jurisdiction does not by itself establish Irish authorisation. This page provides general information, not legal advice.

Slot bonuses FAQs

What is a wagering requirement?

A wagering requirement (or playthrough) is the number of times you must bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings. For example, a €10 bonus with a 20x requirement means €200 in total bets.

Are no deposit bonuses really free?

They do not require a deposit, but winnings are usually subject to wagering requirements and a maximum cashout limit, so you may only be able to withdraw up to a set amount.

Can I withdraw my deposit straight away if I take a bonus?

Often not. With many deposit match offers, your deposit and the bonus are locked together until the wagering is met. Some casinos let you decline a bonus and play with your deposit only.

Why do some games contribute less to wagering?

Casinos set lower contribution rates for some games, such as table games, so bets on them count only partly towards the target. Check the contribution table in the offer terms.

What happens if I don’t meet the wagering in time?

If the requirement is not met within the time limit, commonly between 7 and 30 days, the bonus and any winnings from it are usually removed from your account.

How do I check whether an operator is licensed?

Check the operator’s legal entity and licence on the regulator’s own register rather than relying on logos on the site. Our guide to Irish gambling regulation explains the current position.
