Reload bonus: the bonus that invites you back

A reload bonus adds a percentage to deposits after the first. It is useful if you were going to deposit anyway, and a risk if it nudges you to deposit when you had not planned to. Amounts, percentages and deadlines are set by the operator and change; the current ones are in each promotion's terms. Guide by Mariela Briceño.

Go to the offer

How it works

You deposit and the operator adds a percentage as bonus balance, with its own wagering. Some reloads run on set weekdays; others need a code. Evaluate it like a welcome bonus, with one difference: by now you know the platform and its games.

Questions for the terms

Is wagering on the bonus or on bonus plus deposit?
Which games count and at what rate?
What is the max bet while the bonus is active?
Can you withdraw the deposit if you forfeit the bonus?

The behavioural risk

A reload offer arriving right after a bad session is an invitation to chase losses — the moment it least makes sense to accept. A useful rule: accept a reload only if the deposit was already in your monthly plan, never because of the offer itself.

Choosing the game to clear it

If you accept, clear wagering on a game whose RTP you have checked in the info panel and whose volatility suits your balance. The Tiger Jungle guide shows how to find the configured RTP.

Weekly offers and routine

Reloads that arrive on the same weekday can quietly turn into a habit: deposit on Friday because the offer is there. If you notice that pattern, turn off promotional emails and notifications for a while and see whether you still want to deposit on that day.

Frequently asked questions

Is a reload better than the welcome bonus?

Reloads are usually smaller. What matters is wagering and the rules.

Can I decline a reload?

Usually yes. Without a bonus you can withdraw freely.

Do reloads run on fixed days?

Some do. Check the promotions page.

Can a reload stack with another bonus?

Usually only one bonus can be active at a time.
