Bonus
Also known as: Bookmaker bonus
A broad term for any non-cash credit offered by a bookmaker — welcome bonus, reload bonus, free bet, deposit match, etc. UK Gambling Commission rules require all bonus terms (wagering requirements, minimum odds, qualifying markets, expiry dates) to be clearly stated at the point of offer. Bonus value to the punter is almost always significantly below face value.
