Bonus System Terms & Conditions

(for Non “Bonus System” promotions)

These Rules and Terms and Conditions apply to promotional bonuses that are awarded through the Microgaming integrated “Bonus System” as described below.

Apart from the Opening Match Bonus, Rich Reels will endeavor to use this Bonus System for all Loyalty Deposit Match Bonuses. There are fantastic benefits to the player by using this system, so we urge you to familiarize yourself with the workings. We would be happy to explain the system to you if anything is unclear.

Rules:

1. A Player’s total account balance consists of a Cash account balance and a Bonus account balance.
2. A Player’s Bonus account cannot be cashed out, but can be used to place wagers.
3. A Player’s Cash account may be cashed out at any time.

Specific play-through requirements are indicated in the terms and conditions of each promotion.

Terms and Conditions include:

1. Bonus amounts credited to a player’s Bonus account are subject to 30 times play through before they may be cashed out. This wagering requirement applies to the bonus only and not to any related deposit.
2. Different games played may contribute a different percentage of the wager - up to 100%, towards the required play-through.
3. The contributing percentages are as follows:
   
   

   Games	Percentage contribution to Wagering
   All Slots, Keno, Scratch Card and Parlor games	100%
   Casino War, Sicbo, Table Poker, Video Poker, all Blackjacks except Classic Blackjack, Craps and Baccarat	10%
   Classic Blackjack and Roulette	2%

   
   
   
4. As the required play-through requirements are met, funds are automatically transferred from the Player’s Bonus account to their Cash account.
5. Play-through is achieved when any real money wager is made. The Player can use either their bonus or their cash account.
6. For any wagers made, the wager is deducted from the Player’s Cash account. If there is no cash available, then the wager is deducted from the Bonus account. This effectively means that funds in the Player’s bonus account are only played if there is no cash balance.
7. If a Player makes a withdrawal, their Bonus account is reset to ZERO. This means that if a Player chooses to take back the money they deposited, they will lose any Bonus money they may still have remaining in their Bonus Account.
8. Before processing the withdrawal, players have a final opportunity to decide whether they wish to withdraw their Cash balance or continue to wager in order to qualify for the remaining portion of their Bonus balance.
9. Winnings on wagers made from a Player’s Cash account are credited directly to their Cash account. Winnings on wagers made from a Player’s Bonus account are credited to their Bonus account.
10. Where crediting a Player’s Bonus account with winnings would result in the Bonus account exceeding the size of the original Bonus amount, any excess winnings are credited to the Player’s Cash account.
11. Note: This is less any automatic transfers from bonus account to cash account that had occurred
12. For winnings that originate from the wagering of Free Credits alone, which free credits were part of a No-Deposit Bonus, such winnings are limited to a cash withdrawal of $200
