Reload bonus: the promotion that follows a deposit
This page lists no offers and no amounts for Woos. It explains how this type of clause works so you can read any operator's terms yourself. Bonus advertising is restricted in many countries, and a bonus is never free money.
A reload bonus resembles a welcome offer but targets existing customers: a percentage added to a new deposit, often on set days of the week. It is a retention tool, and its job is to make you deposit more often.
How it is built
A lower percentage than the welcome offer, a lower cap, similar or higher wagering. Often tied to a day or event with a short expiry; sometimes reserved for players with a certain volume or sent personally by email.
The real cost: frequency
The risk is not one offer but the habit. A bonus that arrives every week becomes a reason to top up even when the month's budget is spent. Table players with long sessions and steady stakes are particularly exposed: a deposit "because there is a bonus" is the first step towards chasing losses.
| Sign | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| You top up on bonus day without having planned to | the promotion calendar decides for you |
| You take a reload to win back a loss | risk of chasing |
| You cannot remember the last bonus you completed | you are collecting conditions, not value |
The arithmetic
Illustration: a 50 top-up with a 50% reload (25) and 40 times wagering on the bonus means 1,000 in bets. At a 96% return the expected loss is 40, more than the bonus. With reduced contributions for table games, the volume multiplies.
An alternative for table players
Instead of following the promotion calendar, set a monthly budget with the account's deposit limits and decline reloads. See responsible gambling.
Reloads and the monthly budget
A reload changes nothing about what you can afford to lose this month. If you set a monthly budget, the reload deposit counts against it like any other. A simple rule helps: never make a deposit you had not planned at the start of the month, whatever the promotion. If the cashier offers a reload on a deposit you were going to make anyway, it can still be declined; with low table contributions that is often the better choice.
