Bonus Terms Explained
Casino bonuses in the Philippines can look confusing at first. Here is a plain-English breakdown of every common term you will encounter at 88phx and other online casinos, so you know exactly what you are getting into before you claim anything.
Wagering / Rollover Requirement
This is the number of times you must bet the bonus amount (or bonus + deposit, depending on the casino) before you can withdraw any winnings derived from that bonus. A x15 rollover means you must wager 15 times the bonus amount in total real-money bets.
Example: You receive a ₱1,000 bonus with a x15 rollover. You must place ₱15,000 in total bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. A x20 rollover on the same bonus means ₱20,000 in total bets required.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
When you have active bonus funds, casinos cap how much you can bet per round or per spin. Exceeding this limit can void your bonus entirely. At 88phx, the typical cap is ₱250–₱500 per bet while bonus funds are active.
Example: Your bonus has a ₱300 max bet. Placing a ₱500 slot spin while bonus funds are active could result in the entire bonus being cancelled.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games contribute equally to clearing wagering requirements. Slots typically contribute 100% — meaning every peso wagered counts in full. Table games like baccarat and roulette often contribute only 10%–20%, meaning they are much slower for clearing a bonus.
Example: You need to wager ₱10,000 to clear the bonus. ₱10,000 on slots clears it fully. ₱10,000 on baccarat (10% contribution) only counts as ₱1,000 toward the requirement.
Bonus Expiry
All bonuses have an expiry date. If you do not complete the wagering requirement within the allotted time, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited. Common windows are 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days.
Example: A ₱2,000 bonus with a 14-day expiry means you have two weeks from the date of issue to complete all wagering or the bonus is cancelled.
Sticky vs. Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky (or non-cashable) bonus stays in your account as wagering fuel but cannot itself be withdrawn — only the winnings generated from it can be cashed out. A non-sticky bonus can be withdrawn alongside your winnings once wagering is complete.
Example: You receive a sticky ₱1,000 bonus and run it up to ₱5,000. You can withdraw ₱4,000 in winnings, but the original ₱1,000 bonus balance stays locked in the system.
Maximum Cash-Out (Bonus Win Cap)
Many bonuses set a ceiling on how much you can withdraw from bonus-derived winnings, regardless of how much you actually won. This protects the casino from unlimited liability on a single bonus.
Example: A ₱500 free spin bonus has a ₱5,000 max cashout. Even if you hit a ₱50,000 jackpot using those spins, only ₱5,000 can be withdrawn from that win.
