Reload bonus: the bonus for every deposit after the first
After the welcome offer, many platforms run reload bonuses: a match on later deposits, often tied to a weekday or a campaign. They tend to be smaller than the welcome bonus but they repeat, which is why their conditions matter to anyone who plays regularly.
How they are presented
- A fixed match — say 50% up to a ceiling — on a given day.
- A tiered match that grows with the deposit amount.
- A personalised offer that appears in your account and differs from player to player.
The small print to check
Four details separate a good reload from one that locks your balance: the minimum deposit to trigger it, the wagering and its base, the deadline — often shorter than the welcome bonus, 3 to 7 days — and whether it can run alongside another active bonus. If you have a bonus pending, a new reload may queue or replace the old one.
Example: a weekly reload
A 50% reload up to 60, 25x on the bonus, 5 days. Deposit 80 and you receive 40 in bonus and must bet 1,000 in five days: 200 a day, or 400 spins at 0.50.
Every figure on this page is an illustrative example, not a Dorado condition. Amounts are in whatever currency your account uses; the live conditions are in each promotion's terms.
Reloads versus real money
For someone who deposits weekly, taking every reload means almost always having a requirement pending, a maximum bet in force and real money locked. A simple approach is to accept a reload only in weeks when you plan to play slots with enough time, and deposit without a bonus when you want freedom to withdraw.
Reloads and payment methods
Check whether the reload excludes any deposit method. If you plan to pay by card, e-wallet or crypto, confirm in the terms that the method triggers the bonus; otherwise the deposit lands as real money without the promotion.
Available methods and limits depend on the operator and on your account type — check them in the cashier.
Personalised reloads
Offers that appear only in your account, often after a period of not playing, can look tailored. Treat them like any other: same five conditions, same arithmetic. A personal offer is not automatically a better one.
