Offers with a published ceiling

headline against cash
What a welcome offer is worth once you have cleared it
A headline is what the bonus is called. What matters is how much of it survives the turnover requirement, and that depends on the margin of the book you are turning it over through.

The three we could actually price
These are the offers where the record holds both the playthrough and a margin computed from the book's own published prices. The balance is cycled through that margin the required number of times and what survives is the cleared figure.
| Bookmaker | Headline ceiling | Playthrough | Its margin | What survives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1xBet | GH₵5,500 | 5x | 6.71% | GH₵3,886 |
| Betwinner | GH₵2,500 | 5x | 6.70% | GH₵1,767 |
| 22Bet | GH₵750 | 5x | 5.34% | GH₵570 |
Read the first column against the last. The order of the headlines and the order of the cleared figures are not the same order, which is the entire reason this arithmetic is worth doing before depositing rather than after.
The ones we would not put a number on
five offers carry a ceiling and cannot be priced. Some publish no turnover multiple at all, which is its own kind of answer. For the rest, we hold no margin for the book, and inventing one to fill the column would produce a cedi figure with nothing behind it.
| Bookmaker | Headline ceiling | Playthrough | What is missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| SportyBet | GH₵500 | not published | no turnover multiple is published |
| MSport | GH₵3,000 | not published | neither a playthrough nor a margin |
| Melbet | GH₵3,100 | 8x | no margin we could compute from published prices |
| Soccabet | GH₵500 | not published | no turnover multiple is published |
| Wiwi Casino | GH₵3,000 | 35x | no margin, because the games it clears against declare their return inside themselves and we hold none |
The casino row is the whole publication in one cell. A casino bonus is cleared by playing games, so what it is worth depends on what those games give back, and that figure is declared inside each game rather than anywhere this desk can read it. Read it yourself before you accept a casino bonus.
What this arithmetic deliberately leaves out
Free spins, no-deposit sweeteners and the caveats attached to individual offers are not in the table. Several of the ceilings above are the top of a ladder rather than a rate, one of them moves with whichever code an affiliate is selling, and one is a package total across staged deposits rather than a first-deposit cap. Each of those is written out on the offer's own page, in the record's own words. The offers, sorted by how well sourced they are.
About clearing a bonus
- Why is the cleared figure so much smaller than the headline?
- Because the balance is not spent once, it is cycled. You stake it, the margin takes a slice, you stake what is left, and so on until the requirement is met. After a playthrough of five through a book keeping around six per cent, roughly seven cedis in ten survive. After thirty five, almost nothing does.
- Why is the biggest offer here not the most valuable?
- Because the ceiling and the playthrough move independently, and the playthrough is the term nobody advertises. The order of the table below is not the order of the headlines.
- Why are some offers not priced at all?
- five of eight could not be. Either the book publishes no playthrough figure, or we hold no margin for it, and clearing happens against a margin. Substituting a plausible one would let this page publish a cedi figure that came from nowhere.
