Bonus Terms Explained in Plain English
Confused by casino bonus jargon? Here's a straight-up guide to the terms you'll encounter when claiming any 45ph bonus offer — so you know exactly what you're getting into.
Wagering / Rollover Requirement
This is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings from it. If a bonus has a 15x wagering requirement, you need to wager the bonus amount 15 times total.
Example: You receive a ₱1,000 bonus with 15x rollover. You need to make ₱15,000 in bets before withdrawing bonus-derived winnings. X10 means ₱10,000 in bets; X20 means ₱20,000.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
While you're playing with bonus funds, there's usually a cap on how much you can bet per round or per spin. Exceeding this limit can void your bonus — a common gotcha for Filipino players unfamiliar with the rule.
Example: Most 45ph bonuses cap bets at ₱250–₱500 per round while bonus funds are active. Placing a ₱1,000 single bet during a bonus period could forfeit the entire bonus balance.
Game Contribution
Not all games count equally toward clearing your wagering requirement. Slots typically contribute 100% — every peso bet counts in full. Table games like baccarat and blackjack often contribute only 10–20%.
Example: ₱500 bet on slots = ₱500 counted toward rollover. ₱500 bet on roulette at 20% contribution = only ₱100 counted. Grinding rollover on slots is faster for most players.
Bonus Expiry
Bonuses don't last forever. Most offers expire within 7, 14, or 30 days from the date they're credited. If you haven't met the wagering requirement by expiry, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited.
Example: A welcome bonus credited on June 1 with a 14-day expiry must be fully cleared by June 15. Missing the deadline means losing any remaining bonus balance.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus cannot be withdrawn — only the winnings generated from it can be cashed out. A non-sticky (or "cashable") bonus can potentially be withdrawn after meeting the wagering requirements, including the original bonus amount.
Example: You receive a ₱500 sticky bonus and run it up to ₱2,000. You can withdraw ₱1,500 (the profit), but the original ₱500 bonus is removed. With a non-sticky bonus, you keep the full ₱2,000 after clearing rollover.
Maximum Cash-Out
Some bonuses limit how much you can actually withdraw from winnings derived from that bonus, regardless of how much you win. This protects the operator from outsized payouts on promotional funds.
Example: A bonus with a ₱5,000 max cash-out means even if you turn a ₱500 bonus into ₱20,000, you can only withdraw ₱5,000 of those bonus-derived winnings. Always check this limit before chasing big wins on bonus funds.
Free Spins & Their Value
Free spins usually have a fixed coin value per spin (often ₱1–₱5 per spin). Winnings from free spins are typically credited as bonus funds with their own wagering requirement, not as real cash directly.
Example: 50 free spins at ₱2/spin = ₱100 in bonus value. If you win ₱800 from those spins, that ₱800 goes into your bonus balance with a 20x wagering requirement (₱16,000 in bets needed).
Practical Advice: Always read the full Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus at 45ph or any other casino. Understanding rollover requirements and game restrictions before you play saves a lot of frustration later.
