Bonus Terms Explained in Plain English
New to casino bonuses? Here's a no-jargon breakdown of the terms you'll encounter at 55mbw and anywhere in the Philippines online gambling scene.
Wagering Requirement / Rollover
This is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw any winnings from it. An X15 rollover on a ₱500 bonus means you need to place a total of ₱7,500 in bets before cashing out.
Example: Bonus ₱500 × 15 rollover = ₱7,500 total bets required.
Maximum Bet During Bonus
While you are playing with bonus funds, there is usually a cap on how much you can bet per round — typically ₱250 to ₱500 per spin or hand. Exceeding this can void your bonus. Always check the specific limit in the promotion terms.
Example: Max bet ₱250 per spin while bonus is active.
Game Contribution Rate
Not all games count equally toward your wagering requirement. Slots typically contribute 100%, meaning every ₱100 bet clears ₱100 of wagering. Table games like blackjack or baccarat usually contribute only 10–20%, so they take much longer to clear the rollover.
Example: ₱100 on slots = ₱100 wagered. ₱100 on baccarat = ₱10–20 wagered.
Bonus Expiry
All bonuses have a time limit. Common windows are 7, 14, or 30 days from the date the bonus is credited. If the wagering requirement is not completed within the expiry window, the bonus and any related winnings are forfeited automatically.
Example: Bonus credited June 1 with 14-day expiry — must wager by June 15.
Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus
A sticky (non-cashable) bonus stays in your bonus balance and cannot be withdrawn — only the net winnings generated from it can be cashed out. A non-sticky bonus is deducted before withdrawal, and you keep your own winnings in full.
Example (sticky): Win ₱2,000 using a ₱500 sticky bonus → withdraw ₱1,500 (winnings only).
Maximum Cash-Out from Bonus
Even after completing wagering, many promotions cap how much bonus-derived money you can actually withdraw. This is the maximum cash-out limit. Anything above this cap is typically removed from your account upon withdrawal request.
Example: Max cash-out ₱5,000 from a welcome bonus, regardless of how much you won.
Free Spins Winnings
Free spin prizes are usually credited as bonus money, not real money. This means they are subject to their own wagering requirements before they can be withdrawn. Always check what rollover applies to free spin winnings — it is often separate from the main deposit bonus terms.
Example: 20 free spins produce ₱300 in winnings → ₱300 subject to X20 rollover before cashout.
Always read the Terms & Conditions before claiming any bonus. If anything is unclear, our 24/7 support team at 55mbw is happy to explain it in Filipino-English plain language.
