New casino bonuses: what the welcome offers are worth
GH₵11,500 Median headline welcome offer at casinos founded 2024–2026
New casinos lead with large welcome offers. The figure beside this text is the median headline offer at casinos founded this year or in the two years before; the headline is the least useful number in any offer.
The value sits in the terms: the wagering, the maximum bet while it runs, the games that count and any cap on winnings. The worksheet below turns those terms into an expected cost, so you can compare two offers before you deposit.

Short answer
Are new casino bonuses worth claiming?
Only when the wagering is low. Clearing a bonus costs about bonus × wagering × house edge: GH₵500 at 40x on a 96% RTP slot costs about GH₵800 more than it gives you. At 25x the same bonus breaks even on average, below that it starts to pay, and a no-wagering offer is worth its face value.

Worksheet
What a bonus is worth after wagering
Enter the bonus money from the offer and its wagering. The expected cost is what the average player loses while betting through the wagering; the bonus is worth claiming when the cost is lower than the bonus.
What is a welcome bonus worth?
WorksheetYou must bet GH₵2,000,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs GH₵80,000 on average, so the bonus is worth about -GH₵30,000.

Read before you claim
Terms that decide what a bonus is worth
Times you bet it
How often you must bet the bonus, sometimes bonus plus deposit, before it turns into cash. 40x on a GH₵500 bonus means GH₵20,000 of bets.
Stake cap
Most terms cap each bet while wagering runs. One bet above the cap can void the bonus and its winnings.
Games that count
Slots usually count in full. Table and live games often count at a fraction or not at all, which multiplies the wagering.
Win limit
Some offers cap what you can cash out from bonus winnings, so a large win is cut down to the cap.

- No deposit bonus: a small amount or a few spins for signing up, with tight caps on what you can cash out. See no deposit bonuses.

Bonuses quoted in cedis
Casinos that quote offers in cedis often round them up to large, eye-catching numbers. Compare offers by their terms, not by the cedi figure: GH₵10,000 at 50x is worth less on average than GH₵1,000 at 10x.
If the casino holds your balance in dollars or euros, the bonus is paid in that currency and every deposit and withdrawal is converted. The conversion rate is another cost to add to the wagering.
Before you opt in
Read the bonus terms before your first deposit. Check whether the bonus is sticky (the bonus money is removed when you withdraw) or non-sticky (you play your own money first); our guide to sticky and non-sticky bonuses explains the difference. If a bonus will not credit, our guide to bonus problems lists the usual causes.
Questions
New casino bonuses: questions
Are new casino bonuses bigger than at older casinos?
Often, because new casinos need their first customers. The wagering and caps tend to be heavier too, so a bigger headline is not a better offer.
What is a typical wagering requirement?
Between 30x and 50x the bonus at most offshore casinos. Under 20x is good; no-wagering offers exist but are rare and small.
Can I win real money with a bonus?
Yes, once you finish the wagering within the time limit and stay under the cash-out cap. On average, wagering costs more than a bonus gives you at 40x or higher.
Do bonuses expire?
Yes. Most give you 7 to 30 days to finish the wagering, and free spins often expire within a day or two of being credited.
Can I use a bonus on any game?
Usually not. Slots count in full; table games, live games and some high-RTP slots count at a reduced rate or are excluded. The bonus terms list them.
Can I claim more than one bonus at a time?
Most casinos allow one active bonus. A new offer can replace one you are still wagering.
How do I claim a welcome bonus?
Register, opt in on the bonus page or enter the code, then make a qualifying deposit by an allowed method. Our guide to claiming bonuses goes step by step.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
