Bonuses at Gami Casino - more than just the welcome offer

Bonuses are part of the gaming experience but they shouldn't be difficult to understand. Here you get a complete breakdown of all bonus offers at Gami Casino, what applies and how you actually benefit from them without getting stuck in complicated terms.

Proper licensing means clear rules. No hidden clauses, no max cashout limits on deposit bonuses and always transparent wagering requirements presented before you activate any offer. That's how it should be.

The welcome package - first thing you encounter

New players get a total of 150% bonus up to €500 plus 300 free spins split across two deposits. That's more than what most online casinos offer right now and wagering requirements sit at reasonable levels.

First deposit

150% match bonus up to €300 means every euro you deposit gives you €1.50 extra. Minimum deposit is €20 which gives you a total of €50 to play with. Max out the first bonus with €200 and you get €300 in bonus, total €500 in your account.

Plus 150 free spins on Book of Dead which is one of the most popular slots ever. Spins are credited directly after deposit, all at once. Value per spin is €0.10 and winnings from free spins get added to your bonus balance with the same wagering requirements as the bonus amount.

Second deposit

100% match up to €200. So you double your second deposit up to max €200 in bonus. Deposit €100 and you get €200 total. Plus another 150 free spins, this time usually on Starburst or another popular slot depending on what's running at the time.

Activation happens automatically. Nothing you need to think about, no bonus code to enter. When the system sees you're a new player the bonus gets added directly when the money hits your account.

Wagering requirements and how they work in practice

35x the bonus amount. That's the standard here and at most other casinos. Get €100 in bonus and you must wager a total of €3,500 before winnings become withdrawable. Sounds like a lot but it goes faster than you think if you play slots with normal volatility.

Important to understand - it's the bonus amount that counts, not the bonus amount plus your deposit. Deposit €100 and get €100 in bonus, wagering requirement is €3,500, not €7,000. That makes a huge difference.

Which games count towards wagering

Slots and scratch cards contribute 100%. Every euro you wager counts fully towards the requirement. Play Starburst for €10 per spin and €10 gets deducted from the remaining wagering requirement regardless of whether you win or lose on that round.

Table games and live casino only contribute 10%. Play blackjack for €100 per hand and only €10 counts towards wagering. That makes it take ten times longer to clear the bonus if you stick to table games, which is why most choose to run slots when they have active bonus.

You have 30 days to complete the wagering requirement. That's plenty for most players' habits. Play regularly a few times per week and you'll clear it without problems. Try to rush everything the last day and it can get stressful.

Recurring free spins promotions

Friday often means free spins for logged-in players. 20-50 spins on some selected slot, sometimes without deposit but usually tied to a smaller reload bonus. Keep an eye on the promo page to see what's running that week.

Value per spin varies but usually sits at €0.10. Winnings from promo spins have their own wagering requirements, typically 35-40x the winnings. That means if you win €10 from free spins you must wager €350-400 before the money becomes withdrawable.

Weekend offers with reload bonuses

Saturdays and Sundays sometimes feature reload bonuses for existing players. 50% up to €100 plus 30 free spins is a typical offer. Less generous than the welcome bonus but still a chance to get extra playtime for your money.

These bonuses are opt-in, you must activate them yourself in the cashier before depositing. Forget that and you get no bonus even if the promo is active. Always double-check you've ticked the right box.

• Promotions announced via email to registered players
• Some offers require minimum deposit of €20-30
• Wagering requirements always stated clearly in promo terms
• Validity period is often 24-48 hours from activation

Slot tournaments and competitions

Tournaments are another way to compete for extra wins. You play on selected slots during a set time period and get points based on wins, wagering or highest multiplier depending on tournament format.

Prize pools vary from a few thousand euros up to €50,000 or more for bigger tournaments. First place often takes home 30-40% of the entire pot while top 10-20 get something. That means even if you don't win you can still grab a nice bonus.

Formats that occur

Highest win tournaments rank players by the biggest single win multiplier. Get a 1000x win on Book of Dead and you're sitting pretty. Total wagering doesn't matter here, just the best hit.

Points-based tournaments count the sum of all wins during the competition period. Here those who play a lot and long get favored, not just those lucky with one mega hit.

Buy-in tournaments cost an entry fee but prizes are therefore higher. €10 buy-in might give a prize pool of €1,000 split across top 20 players. Some tournaments are free and open to all logged-in players.

Loyalty program and VIP perks

The more you play the more points you collect. System is pretty straightforward - every wagered euro gives you loyalty points that can later be exchanged for bonus money, free spins or other benefits.

Exchange rate isn't amazing but it's free money for something you're doing anyway. 1,000 points might give you €5-10 in bonus money depending on your VIP level. Don't expect to get rich from it but over time it adds up.

VIP tiers and what they give

Bronze is the starting level where everyone begins. Basic perks, standard withdrawals, normal bonuses. Nothing special but nothing bad either.

Silver is reached after certain wagering and gives faster points earning, sometimes slightly higher bonus percentage on reload offers. Noticeably better than bronze but no revolutionary difference.

Gold and Platinum are for high rollers who wager a lot regularly. Personal account manager, priority support, faster withdrawals, exclusive bonuses and invitations to special events. For regular players it's not realistic to reach these levels.

Cashback when things go badly

Some periods offer cashback on losses. 10% back on net loss during a week or month. It softens the blow a bit and gives you a second chance to turn things around.

Cashback often gets paid as bonus money with wagering requirements, sometimes as real cash without requirements at all. The latter is naturally much better but occurs less often. Always read the terms before expecting anything specific.

To qualify for cashback you must have played for a certain minimum amount during the period. €100 wagering is a typical requirement. Play only for €20 and you get no cashback even if you lose everything.

Important bonus rules to know about

Max bet when playing with active bonus is €5 per round. Bet more and the entire bonus and all winnings can be confiscated without warning. It's a harsh rule but it exists for a reason - to prevent bonus abuse where players try to quickly clear the bonus with massive bets.

Only one active bonus at a time. You can't stack the welcome bonus with a reload bonus or free spins campaign. Complete what you have going first, then you can take the next offer.

Restricted games during bonus

Certain slots are excluded from bonus play. Usually concerns jackpot games or slots with extremely high RTP where the casino considers loss risk too low. List of restricted games is in the bonus terms and gets updated sometimes.

If you by mistake play a forbidden game while bonus is active it can lead to the bonus being voided. System usually warns you before starting the game but double-check yourself if unsure.

• Always read full bonus terms before accepting the offer
• Check wagering requirements, time limit and max bet
• Keep track of which games count and which don't
• Only activate bonuses you actually intend to use
• Contact support if anything is unclear instead of guessing

How to get the most out of bonuses

Choose slots with medium-high volatility when playing with bonus. Low volatility games pay out often but small amounts which makes building balance take longer. High volatility can swing wildly and risk wiping out the bonus before requirement is met. The middle ground is usually best.

Avoid bonus buy features when you have active bonus. First it can count as breaking the max bet rule if the buy exceeds €5. Second it quickly eats up your balance without guaranteeing wins.

Play slots with high RTP

RTP affects how much of your wagers come back on average. A slot with 97% RTP statistically gives more back than one with 94% over long time. When clearing a bonus every percent counts.

Check the RTP value in game info before starting. Most slots sit between 94-97% but some reach up to 98-99% which makes them perfect for bonus wagering if they're not restricted.

Think long-term. Better to clear the bonus over a few days with controlled bets than trying to rush through in one evening. Stress leads to bad decisions and higher risk of losing everything.

Are bonuses always worth it?

Depends on how you play. Like the freedom to bet as much as you want, withdraw winnings directly without wagering requirements and play exactly which games you want, it might be better to skip bonuses entirely.

For many players bonuses give extra playtime and more chances to win without having to deposit as much of their own money. 150% on first deposit means you get 50% more to work with which clearly increases your odds.

Wagering requirements aren't a scam, it's standard procedure to prevent people from just taking the bonus and cashing out directly. Without requirements casinos would go broke immediately. But requirements must be reasonable and transparent, which they are here.

If you feel bonus rules stress you out or limit your gaming too much - play without bonus instead. It's fully possible and no casino forces you to take their offers. The money you deposit is yours and you decide how it should be used.
