Bonuses you barely have to wager

A turnover requirement is the multiple of a bonus you have to stake before any of it can be withdrawn. It is the single number that decides whether an offer is real or decorative, and it is almost never the number in the advertisement.

451 of the 908 merchants here ask for a turnover of one times or less — meaning the bonus is close to withdrawable on arrival. For comparison, the median across everything we track is 0.8x, and the worst quarter sit above 10.0x.

The arithmetic is worth doing once. At 30x, a $100 bonus is $3,000 of staking before you may take anything out; at a house edge of a few per cent, the expected value of that exercise is negative before the withdrawal cap is even considered. At 1x, the same $100 is $100 of staking. These are not variations of the same offer, they are different products with the same name.

A caveat on this list: a low turnover often travels with a low withdrawal cap, so read both columns together. A bonus you can clear instantly and then withdraw $20 of is a small win, not a large one.
