What is Deposit Match?

A bonus that adds a percentage of your deposit as bonus funds, for example 100% up to a stated limit.

A deposit match is a bonus where the casino adds extra funds based on a percentage of what you pay in, up to a stated cap. A 100% match up to 100 means a 100 deposit becomes 200 to play with, while a 50% match would add half. It is the most common shape of a welcome offer.

Why it matters: matched funds give you more playing time and a bigger shot at a win, which is the appeal. But the extra money is bonus funds, not cash, and almost always comes with strings attached.

The catch is the wagering requirement: you usually have to bet the bonus a set number of times before any winnings can be withdrawn. Always check the multiplier, the time limit and which games count. Our bonuses explained guide breaks down how to read these offers.
