Bonus Explained: The bonus % = the percentage of initial deposit match. The Bonus $ is the maximum initial deposit bonus. If “FP” is indicated next to an amount this means the bonus is free play credits. Free plays do not have the stake returned on a win where a cash bonus does.
Roll Over Explained: Rollover is the number of times the bonus must be rolled over prior to cash out. Each site has their own rollover rules and additional bonus terms. If you have questions, you should inquire directly with the online bookmaker to make certain that you understand their bonus policies and additional terms.
Preferred Limits explained: Refers to the stake book most commonly deals with.
HIGH = Players betting several hundred to several thousand per game
MID = Players betting micro limits to $500 per games.
ANY = Players betting micro limits all the way to several thousand dollars per game.
