Bonus Funds are a reward type: an amount of money credited to a player as bonus balance, usable for play. Bonus Funds can be configured for either Casino or Sport, they are one of the platform's standard reward types, and they can be granted directly by a promotion or a gamification feature, or as a bonus on deposit that scales dynamically with the deposit's value.
How do Bonus Funds work for the player?
A player receives Bonus Funds as a reward and plays with them like regular balance. The bonus balance is separate from the player's own money and carries a wager attached (a bonus with wager). Regulators that publish rules on this mechanic, such as the UK Gambling Commission, cap wagering requirements and require bonus terms to stay clear and accessible, a useful benchmark when calibrating your own wager multiples. Bonus Funds only transform into Cash, never into another bonus type. Winnings from Free Spins, Free Spins Timed, and Free Bonus Buy can arrive as Bonus Funds, which makes Bonus Funds the intermediate bonus currency of the reward system.
Why do Bonus Funds matter for you?
Bonus Funds are the most flexible casino reward: they work on any game rather than one specific title, which makes them the general-purpose currency of your promotions. When you want a reward that fits any campaign without picking a specific game or bet type, Bonus Funds are the default choice. Bonus Funds and the rest of the reward catalogue ship built into the platform from day one, see how to start a white label casino if you have not launched yet.
How does Lumio use Bonus Funds?
Lumio selects Bonus Funds as the reward for a promotion when flexibility across your whole casino catalogue serves the goal, and calibrates the amount per player segment. How Lumio decides is described on its own page.
How do Bonus Funds work with other systems?
Bonus Funds can be granted as the reward of a Challenge, a Tournament prize, a Calendar day, or a Loyalty shop redemption. These are examples of where Bonus Funds show up, not a complete list.
What are the boundaries of Bonus Funds?
Bonus Funds are the bonus-balance reward type, scopeable to Casino or Sport. The Free Bet is the separate sport-side stake token that Bonus Funds do not replace.
