How Mr Vegas bonuses work
The welcome offer is the main bonus at Mr Vegas and the one with the clearest terms. It combines a deposit match up to £50 with 11 spins, and the two parts work differently.
The deposit match is bonus money with a wagering requirement. You have to play through the wagering before the bonus can be withdrawn, and only some games count towards it: the eligible games are Pink Elephants 2 (free spins); bonus: slots, jackpot slots do not contribute. In practice, that means you clear the wagering on ordinary slots, and spins on jackpot slots do nothing for it. If you prefer jackpot games, this part of the offer will not suit the way you play.
Wagering is worth reading slowly. The requirement is set against your deposit, so the amount you choose to pay in also sets how much play the bonus asks of you. A larger deposit does not make the offer easier to clear; it simply means more to play through. Paying in what you would spend anyway is the sensible starting point.
The spins come without wagering and are tied to one slot. They are the simpler half of the offer, because there is no playthrough to track for that part. Our Mr Vegas spins guide explains how spins offers work and what to look for in their terms.
The validity period applies to the offer as a whole. It tells you how many days you have to use it, so it makes sense to claim the welcome offer only when you expect to play within that time. The full walkthrough, from the qualifying deposit to the point where bonus money becomes withdrawable, is on our Mr Vegas welcome bonus page. See the welcome card above for the key terms in one place. T&Cs apply.
Promotions for existing players run alongside the welcome offer. Rainbow Fridays and The Wheel of Vegas are aimed at players who already have an account, and each has its own terms. T&Cs apply. Before you take part in either, read its full terms on the Mr Vegas site.
Our Mr Vegas promo codes page covers any codes that apply to current offers and how to use them.
New-player and existing-player offers compared
The main difference between the Mr Vegas offers is who they are for. The welcome offer is for new players only and is tied to your start at the casino: opening an account and making a qualifying deposit. The two promotions for existing players are for people who already have an account. See their cards above for the key terms. T&Cs apply.
The welcome offer is also the easiest to judge in advance. Its wagering, minimum deposit and validity period are set out on its card, so you can tell before you deposit whether it fits how you play. A deposit match, spins without wagering and a clear limit on the bonus amount add up to an offer you can weigh in a few minutes.
With the promotions for existing players, more of the detail sits in each offer's own terms on the Mr Vegas site. That does not make them better or worse, but it does mean you should read the terms of each one before you take part, rather than assume they work like the welcome offer. If a promotion's terms are unclear to you, Mr Vegas support is available 24/7 by live chat or email, and it is better to ask before you take part than after.
The offers also differ in what they ask of your play. The welcome offer is built around slots, with the spins on one named game and the wagering cleared on ordinary slots. If you mostly play jackpot slots, that matters more than the size of the match, because those games do not help clear the wagering. If you mostly play live casino, check the full terms to see how those games count.
In every case, weigh the terms against how you already play before you take an offer.

Choosing where to start
Start from how you already play, not from the size of an offer. The questions below cover the main cases:
- If you are new and mainly play ordinary slots, the welcome offer fits, since slots are where its wagering is cleared.
- If you mainly play jackpot slots, the deposit match will do less for you, because they do not help clear the wagering.
- If you play only now and then, check whether the validity period gives you enough time before you take the offer.
- If you already have an account, look at the promotions for existing players and read the full terms of the one that interests you.
No bonus changes the odds of a game. A bonus adds conditions to money you have deposited, and it is only worth taking when those conditions match what you would do anyway.
Tips before you claim a bonus
A few checks before you deposit save trouble later:
- Read the full terms, not just the headline. The card above gives the key points, but the terms decide what counts.
- Note which games count towards the wagering, so you do not spend a session on games that do nothing for it.
- Keep an eye on the validity period, so the offer does not run out while you are still using it.
- Keep track of your own cash and bonus money separately, so you always know which part of your balance you can withdraw.
- If a term is unclear, ask Mr Vegas support before you deposit rather than after.
Above all, decide your budget before the bonus, not after. Set a deposit limit in your Mr Vegas account for an amount you would spend on entertainment anyway, and keep to it whether or not a bonus is active. Our safer gambling page explains the tools that help you stay in control.
