What are Flexi Bonuses/Free Bet

Flexi Bonus is the name for any bonus credited to your bonus balance. Customers need to opt in to receive a bonus. Bonuses are awarded after logging in or after depositing:

Flexi Bonuses – Bonuses are awarded in the form of free bonuses (Bonus Credits or Winnings from Free / Bonus Spins) or deposit based match bonuses. All bonuses will have wagering requirements attached which must be cleared before the bonus or any winnings associated in your bonus account are available for withdrawal. This will not stop you from withdrawing anything in your cash balance.

Free Bets – Free Bets are given to customers to wager on any sports. Winnings will be paid into your cash balance minus the initial Free Bbet amount and are not subject to any additional wagering requirements.


How does the Flexi Bonus work?

‘Flexi Bonus’is the name for any bonus credited to your bonus balance. Essentially it gives you the freedom to forfeit your bonus balance and withdraw your cash balance at any time without being tied in by the wagering requirements of the bonus. See the ‘Flexi Bonus’ section below for more information.


Are there wagering requirements on my bonus?

Wagering requirements apply to bonus money but not to Free Bets. See below for our easy guide to wagering requirements:

Welcome deposit bonus and certain existing customer offers -  in order to withdraw the welcome bonus and any associated winnings you must wager an amount equal to 10 x the amount of the bonus awarded. Please always check the terms and conditions of the offer.

All other bonuses -  in order to withdraw any other bonus and any associated winnings you must wager an amount equal to 10 x the amount of the bonus awarded

Different odds contribute different amounts towards these wagering requirements. See the ‘Wagering Contributions’ section below for more details. 


When can I withdraw?

That’s the best thing about our bonuses, you can withdraw your cash balance at any time! All that happens is you forfeit your current bonus balance at the time of withdrawal. If you don’t want to lose your bonus, simple carry on wagering until you have met the applicable wagering requirements. But remember your cash balance is yours whenever you want it.

We will aim to pay your withdrawal as quickly as possible but withdrawal periods may vary at weekends.

Do I have to take a bonus?

Of course not! Every bonus we offer is optional and you will need to ‘opt in’ which means you have to confirm that you want it before we award it. If you change your mind after you have opted in, contact support who will happily remove it for you whether you have started playing or not. 

How do Free Bets work?

There are no wagering requirements on your Free Bets. Winnings will be paid into your cash balance minus the initial free bet amount and are not subject to any additional wagering requirements.

e.g. $10 Free Bet placed at 6.00 (5/1) would return $50 to your cash balance = winnings minus the Free Bet stake

Flexi Bonus General Terms and Conditions

1 Flexi Bonus

Flexi Bonus is our name for the way in which our new bonus system works and allows you to withdraw your cash balance at any time.

It works on a principle we call *Bonus to Cash ratio*(BCR). BCR is the percentage split between your total cash balance and your current bonus balance.

When you have an active Flexi Bonus and place a bet, the amount you bet will come from your cash balance and your bonus balance at your BCR ratio at the time of the wager being placed. Winnings are also allocated back to your cash and bonus balance in the same ratio as they were placed.

We have set out below some examples to explain this, based on a new customer who has signed up and deposited $20 and received a 100% match bonus ($20 bonus).

Example 1 – Deposit $20 and get $20 bonus

$20 Cash Balance and $20 Bonus balance would be a 50% / 50% BCR

$20 Cash plus $20 Bonus = $40 total balance (50% made up of cash and 50% made up of bonus)

Using example 1 above – If you bet $10, $5 will come from your cash balance and $5 from your bonus balance. If you win $20 from this bet, $10 (50% of the win) will go into your cash balance and $10 (50% of the win) will go into your bonus balance. The $25 cash balance is available for you to withdraw but the $25 bonus balance will be subject to wagering requirements. 

Example 2 – Currently have $10 cash and $10 bonus balance and deposit $20 cash with no bonus match

$30 Cash Balance and $10 Bonus balance would be a 75% / 25% BCR

$30 Cash plus $10 Bonus = $40 total balance (75% made up of cash and 25% made up of bonus)

Using example 2 above – If you place a $10 bet, $7.50 will come from your cash balance and $2.50 from your bonus balance. If you win $20 from this wager, $15 (75% of the win) will go into your cash balance and $5 (25% of the win) will go into your bonus balance. The $37.50 cash balance is available for you to withdraw but the $12.50 bonus balance will be subject to wagering requirements. 

If you only use bonus as you have no cash balance to bet, your Bonus to Cash ratio (BCR) will be 100%, and therefore all of your wagering and winnings will be debited/ credited from/to your bonus balance.

What happens when I complete wagering on a bonus – when you complete the full wagering on the bonus, your entire bonus balance will be transferred to your Cash balance and become available for you to withdraw. 

Remember bonuses still have wagering requirements dependent on the type of bonuses they are. At the time of any associated wagering on your bonus account being completed the entire bonus balance will be transferred to the cash balance.
