NOTE: These Free Play rules are in effect as of September 28th, 2022 11:00 am ET.

Unless otherwise specified by a Player Services Representative, when you receive a bonus for making a deposit you must roll over the amount you deposited plus the Free Play bonus the specified amount of times. Wagers placed using Free Play do not qualify toward rollover calculation.

For example, if you deposit $1000, BetOnline will credit your account the full $1000 + $250 Free Play Deposit Bonus. So, if you have a ten-time rollover assigned for that deposit bonus, you must roll the entire amount (e.g. $1000 + free play) ten times. Thus, to receive a payout without forfeiting anything you won from your bonus, you must first cover the rollover amount (e.g. $1000 + Free Play times ten).

When calculating “rollover”, we use the lower risk/reward value as the effective value. For example, if you bet $500 on Team A to win $450, you bet $400 on Team B to win $350, and you bet $250 on Team C to win $50, the total action applied toward fulfilling the rollover requirement would be $850 ($450 + $350 + $50).

Sportsbook bonuses can be rolled over in the Sportsbook only. Pre-Game bets; Live Betting, Player Props, Esports, Poker, Casino, or the Racebook will not count towards the rollover. The same goes for Casino Bonuses, which must be rolled over in the Casino.

Sportsbook bonuses are only redeemable to players residing in the USA and Canada.

 

How To Check My Freeplay Balance

Once you have added a Freeplay bonus to your account, you might want to keep track of it. You can check your Freeplay balance in several ways. 

1. Click on the avatar on the top right of the screen, next to your balance.

 2. This will open a menu with your balance. Here, you will be able to see your available Freeplay balance.

3. If you click on My Account, you will also be able to view your Freeplay balance.

 

Rollover

What is the Rollover?

The rollover is the amount you have to provide in action in order to be eligible for a payout, after using a Freeplay bonus. 

How is the Rollover calculated?

The Rollover is calculated by adding the Deposit + Bonus and multiplying it by the set rollover amount.

When you receive a bonus for making a deposit you must roll over the amount you deposited plus the Free Play bonus the specified amount of times.

For example, if you deposit $1000, BetOnline will credit your account the full $1000 + $250 Free Play Deposit Bonus. So, if you have a ten-time rollover assigned for that deposit bonus, you must roll the entire amount (e.g. $1000 + free play) ten times.

Thus, to receive a payout without forfeiting anything you won from your bonus, you must first cover the rollover amount (e.g. $1000 + Free Play times ten).

How to meet the Rollover?

When calculating how much of the Rollover has been met, we use the lower risk/reward value as the effective value. This value is what you’ll take into account when meeting the rollover. 

For example, if you bet $500 on Team A to win $450, and you bet $250 on Team B to win $50, the total action applied towards fulfilling the rollover requirement would be $500 ($450 + $50).

Sportsbook bonuses can be rolled over in the Sportsbook only; no play in the casino or in the race book will count towards the rollover. Wagers placed using Free Play do not qualify for the rollover calculation either.

How to check your Rollover?

You will be able to verify how much of the rollover you have met and how much you have left to go by following these simple steps.

1. Click on the avatar on the top right of the screen, next to your balance.

2. This will open a menu with your balance. To check your Rollover, there’s just one more step to go. Click on My Account.

3. On the right side of your screen, you will be able to see your Rollover counter. It shows the percentage of completion for the rollover, and how much rollover you have reached of the total.
