Free Bet No Deposit Offers | Betting Sites & Casinos in South Africa

Wagering requirements set the amount of bonus money you need to play before you can convert it into the cash you can withdraw. Some settings sites impose the requirement on bonus money only (non-sticky bonus), and others put it on the sum of the bonus and deposit that triggered it (sticky bonus).

Given that you deposited R500 using a 100% deposit bonus of up to R1000 with a 30-time wagering requirement, you would receive R500 in cash and R500 in bonus.

• If it were a non-sticky bonus, you would need to wager R15000 (R500 times 30) with the bonus. The non-sticky bonus lets you use your cash first, so you can withdraw your winnings from the cash anytime on the condition that you will forfeit the remaining bonus.
• If it were a sticky bonus, you would need to wager R30000, i.e. the sum of the deposit and bonus (R500 + R500) times 30, using the combined balance. You cannot withdraw any winnings until you complete the wagering requirement.

The expiry date is basically the timeline given by the wagering site before which the bonus needs to be used. Every welcome bonus has a limit, and it is important to be aware of the expiry date. The bonus amount needs to be used during that period; otherwise, it can expire.

So, if a punter gets a welcome bonus that has a 30-day expiry, it means that the player will have to use the bonus amount within 30 days, as most welcome bonuses have a wagering requirement that must be met before the date of expiry.

Free bets are usually only available for a certain bet. For example, the Playabets signup free bet is only available for a minimum betslip odds of 2.0 (1/1) and minimum odds per leg of 1.5 (5/10).

That is to say, some welcome bonuses may be given exclusively for sports betting. So, a player who wishes to experience casino betting will not be able to make use of the bonus offer.

This is why a player must verify whether the bonus offer is given for sports betting, casino betting, or for both of them. It is mostly advised to look for bonuses that can be used for all the betting options available.

Often, a lot more value can be found in the new customer deposit offers which can come with no wagering requirements or much smaller turnover requirements.
