Bonus Wagering Terms
Please note that not in all games a bet amount is fully taken into
account when wagering the bonus. 100% of the bet is taken into account

⠀
If wagering requirements have not been met within the period of bonus
validity, both bonus money and winnings will be removed from player's
balance.
⠀
Any bonus can be cancelled before you start playing it through.
Otherwise, by cancelling the bonus player accepts that all the winnings,
gained during the play with this bonus, if there are any, and bonus
amount are deducted from the player's balance. Please contact the
Website support service to find out more about cancelling your bonus.
⠀
A player can change currency only after the first stage of

⠀

wagering requirements but keep in mind that the bonus and winnings will
be forfeited.
Bonus is automatically cancelled upon active balance reaching amount of
0.05 AUD • 0.05 EUR/USD • 0.05 CAD/NZD • 0.05 NOK or less.
*This term only applies balance tied to bonus, i.e. deposit + bonus or
only bonus in case of no deposit bonus, and doesn't apply funds on
player's balance gained from other deposits or bonuses.
Additional Terms
At the Website casino it's forbidden to abuse the bonus offers
available. If any such cases come to light, the casino reserves the
right to seize any winnings gained as a result of abusing the bonus
offers and disable the option of using any bonuses for that account in
future.
Bonus abuse includes but is not limited to:
⠀
breaching Terms & Conditions of a bonus, cash bonus or other promotional
offers;
opening multiple accounts to claim multiple bonuses;
⠀
It's forbidden to postpone any playing rounds, including free spins and
bonus rounds, for the time when you no longer need to play the bonus
through and/or make new deposit(s). Players doing so agree to have their
bonus and associated winnings declared void.
The use of bonus funds purely to progress through the bonus stages is
prohibited. For example when bonus or cash funds are used purely to
progress through the bonus stages (e.g. collecting 9 out of 10 coins to
reach that bonus feature) and then final stages (e.g. playing to collect
the final coin to reach 10 out of 10 coins to reach the bonus feature)
completed with cash bets when bonus funds have been forfeited, lost or
wagering met and converted to cash. All the winnings gained during that
play may be considered void.
The casino has the right to revoke any bonuses and winnings, as well as
to confiscate all the money in the account if it has been obtained
dishonestly or in violation of these rules.
