Bonus Terms at OneRush
Every campaign in the cashier arrives with a headline number and a link to its terms. The headline changes weekly; the rulebook underneath barely moves. That shared layer — bet caps, game restrictions, the order two pots of money are spent in — decides whether a bonus ends as a withdrawal or a cancelled balance.
The maximum bet rule, and why one spin can erase a week
While bonus funds are active, each individual wager is capped. Without a ceiling, locked credit could be turned into cleared cash in four high-variance rounds and nobody would fund the offer. The cap applies per wager, not as a session average, so a thousand disciplined spins do not earn you one large one. Breaching it rarely produces a warning; the system records the round and the consequence surfaces at withdrawal. The three ways it happens are mechanical: autoplay carrying a stake from an earlier session, a bonus-buy feature debiting fifty times the base stake as one wager, and stake ramping after a losing run. On a table game the cap covers the whole round, so twenty numbers at 5 kr each is a 100 kr bet.
Restricted games versus games that simply do not count
Two clauses get confused constantly. A restricted game is forbidden while a bonus is live, and playing it can void the bonus outright. A zero-contribution game is permitted but moves nothing on the progress bar, which is more dangerous precisely because nothing appears to go wrong: the balance drains at the usual rate while the requirement stands still. Restriction lists are built around expected value, so progressive jackpots, low-volatility grinders and buy-the-feature titles appear on them. Live dealer content such as Dynasty Speed Baccarat 2 usually sits in the low-contribution bracket instead.
| Clause | What it controls | Consequence if you get it wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum bet | Size of one wager while bonus funds are active | Bonus and its winnings cancelled |
| Restricted games | Titles you may not play during clearing | Same, usually with the deposit returned |
| Contribution rate | How much of each stake counts | No penalty, just no progress |
| Expiry window | Time allowed to finish | Locked balance removed at the deadline |
| Maximum cashout | The most bonus winnings can pay | Surplus stripped before payout |
Sticky and non-sticky credit, and which pot empties first
A non-sticky bonus keeps the balances separate and spends your own deposit first. Until that is gone the credit sits idle, and you can usually cancel and withdraw whatever real money remains. That optionality is why experienced players prefer the model even at a smaller headline percentage. A sticky bonus merges into one playable balance: the credit is never withdrawable, only what you win above it, and cancelling mid-way forfeits both. Terms rarely use either word, so find the sentence describing which funds are drawn first.
The cashout ceiling and the cap on what counts
Two ceilings do different jobs. Maximum cashout limits what may leave the account from bonus winnings, usually a multiple of the credit. The countable-stake cap limits how much of one wager applies to the requirement, so on a 200 kr spin with a 50 kr cap only 50 kr advances the target while all 200 kr leaves your balance. In kronor: an illustrative 1 000 kr of credit at an illustrative multiple of 35 owes 35 000 kr of turnover, which is 1 750 spins at 20 kr and an expected cost near 1 400 kr. Finish on 9 200 kr against a five-times ceiling and 5 000 kr is payable; the other 4 200 kr is removed at conversion, exactly as the terms said.
What actually triggers a bonus abuse review
The phrase sounds sinister and is mostly behavioural. Ordinary players clearing an offer on slots are not investigated. What draws attention is a pattern: several accounts sharing an address, an IP or a device; one card funding more than one account; near-zero-variance play such as covering both sides of a roulette table purely to build turnover; a name that does not match the payment instrument. Verify the day you register, so documents are on file rather than demanded at the worst moment. If you genuinely share a home with another player, tell support first — a declared connection is handled very differently from a discovered one.
Common questions
Where do I find the terms for the offer I am being shown?
If I break the max bet rule by accident, can support restore the bonus?
Does the deposit itself carry any restriction?
Can bonus terms change after I have claimed?
Bonuses are optional and gambling is not income. The limits and time-outs on our responsible gambling page work whether or not a bonus is active. Players must be 18 or over.
