What is bonus expiry?
Bonus expiry is the date or time after which an unclaimed or incomplete casino bonus is automatically removed from your account. All bonuses have a shelf life, ranging from 24 hours for some free spins to 90 days for large welcome packages.
Two types of expiry
There are two expiry points to watch: the claim deadline (how long you have after the offer is made to activate the bonus) and the completion deadline (how long after activating the bonus you have to complete the wagering requirement). Both timelines matter. You can lose a bonus by failing to activate it in time, or by activating it but not clearing wagering before the deadline.
Managing your bonuses
Check the promotions section of your casino account and read the email communications they send about bonus offers. If you have an active bonus with a wagering requirement approaching its deadline, prioritize playing to clear it. Some casinos let you forfeit an active bonus manually if you want to withdraw without completing wagering, which is sometimes better than burning time on a nearly-expired offer.
