Reload bonus
Also known as: Top-up bonus
A bookmaker promotion offering existing customers a bonus on top-up deposits, typically as a free bet or matched-deposit credit. Smaller and more restricted than welcome offers. Reload bonuses are often time-limited (weekly Tuesday-night promotions, big-event reloads) and may carry wagering requirements. Long-term value is similar to free bets: face value usually exceeds real expected cash value.
