Withdrawal of the bonus balance opens up after the wagering requirement is cleared, although that is not always the last of the condition. Beyond that, plenty of promotions set a maximum on the winnings from that bonus that can be cashed out, either a fixed peso figure or a multiple of the bonus amount. Anything over the stated ceiling in a balance built from that bonus is void once you withdraw, despite being fairly won and despite the wagering requirement being fully met.

A worked example

Using a hypothetical number only, suppose the stated maximum cashout is 5x the bonus and ₱200 was credited; withdrawals of that bonus’s winnings then top out at ₱1,000. Only ₱1,000 of a ₱4,000 balance generated by the same ₱200 bonus could be withdrawn, and the remainder is void under the terms. No figure applies across operators: a promotion decides on its own if a cap exists and which multiple or figure it uses, and that is read in the promotion’s own terms.

Using it in practice

When a bonus could plausibly build up a large balance (a high-volatility game, say), find the maximum cashout figure in its terms before you start. Whether it is missing should be checked in the terms and not guessed from how little the promotion says about it.

The game pages on this site use terms like Maximum cashout throughout, and if the studio has published no figure for one, the page states that in place of a comparison-site number. The reason for the unfilled spots in a number of spec tables here is the one above.

The common misreading

People commonly believe a cleared wagering requirement makes the full balance withdrawable. If a maximum cashout applies, the belief fails: conversion or withdrawal is where the cap is enforced, with or without a satisfied wagering condition. This bonus mechanism is the one that most often takes by surprise a player who has done all that the terms asked.

Releasing the balance depends on the wagering requirement, but a maximum cashout is another matter: a ceiling that comes after that release or operates independently of it.

FAQ

When a bonus could plausibly build up a large balance (a high-volatility game, say), find the maximum cashout figure in its terms before you start. Whether it is missing should be checked in the terms and not guessed from how little the promotion says about it.
