Bonus Terms Explained
Bonus jargon can be confusing. Here's a plain-English breakdown of the most common terms you'll encounter on bk8888 and across the industry — so you always know exactly what you're claiming.
Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus. Wagering requirements, game contributions, and expiry windows vary by promotion. See our Terms & Conditions page for full details.
🔄 Wagering / Rollover Requirement
This is the number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. A 15x rollover on a Rs 1,000 bonus means you need to place a total of Rs 15,000 in bets before cashing out.
Example: Claim Rs 2,000 bonus with 15x rollover → you must wager Rs 30,000 total before withdrawal.
💰 Maximum Bet During Bonus
When you have active bonus funds, most platforms cap your maximum stake per bet — typically between Rs 250 and Rs 500 on bk8888. Placing bets above this limit while using bonus money can result in bonus forfeiture.
Example: Your max bet while bonus is active = Rs 400 per spin or round.
🎯 Game Contribution Rate
Not all games count equally toward wagering. Slots typically contribute 100%, meaning every rupee staked counts in full. Table games like Baccarat or Blackjack often contribute only 10–20%, so they clear the rollover much more slowly.
Example: Rs 1,000 on slots = Rs 1,000 toward rollover. Rs 1,000 on Blackjack = Rs 100–200 toward rollover.
⏰ Bonus Expiry
Bonuses don't last forever. Most welcome bonuses expire within 7, 14, or 30 days from the date they are credited to your account. If you don't complete the wagering requirements in time, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited.
Example: Rs 1,000 bonus credited on 1st Jan with 30-day expiry → must complete wagering by 31st Jan.
🔐 Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus stays in your account as a permanent wagering tool — you can never withdraw the bonus amount itself, only the net winnings above it. A non-sticky bonus is deducted from your balance before withdrawal, meaning you keep all actual winnings.
Example: Non-sticky — win Rs 5,000 with Rs 1,000 bonus → withdraw Rs 4,000. Sticky — bonus stays, you withdraw Rs 5,000 winnings only.
🏦 Maximum Cash-Out from Bonus
Even if you run your bonus up to a large amount, there is usually a cap on how much you can withdraw from bonus-derived winnings. On bk8888 this is clearly stated per promotion — always check before playing.
Example: Max cashout of Rs 50,000 on welcome bonus — any amount above this from bonus play cannot be withdrawn.
