Cashback Explained

Bonuses & promotionsCashback

Cashback returns a portion of your net losses over a period as a reward. This guide explains how it works, with hypothetical examples only.

Key takeaways
  • Cashback returns a percentage of your net losses over a period, such as 10% weekly, as either cash or bonus funds depending on the offer.
  • The site totals your net losses for the period and returns a set percentage.
  • They are different.

What cashback is

Cashback pays back a percentage of what you lost over a day, week or month. Unlike a deposit match, it is based on losses, not deposits.

How it is calculated

The site totals your net losses for the period and returns a set percentage.

Example. With 10% weekly cashback and 100 in net losses, you receive 10 back. Whether it is cash or bonus funds depends on the offer.

Cash vs bonus cashback

Some cashback is real cash with no wagering; some is bonus funds with a wagering requirement. The terms make this clear — cash cashback is the most valuable.

Where it fits

Cashback softens losing runs but does not change the odds. It is common in VIP programs. Treat it as a small cushion, not a strategy — see responsible gambling tools.
