Reload bonus: a bonus on a repeat deposit

Reload bonus (redeposit bonus) is a bonus on a repeat deposit for existing players: usually smaller than the welcome bonus, tied to days of the week or to an occasion. The key question is not its size but who actually needs it.

Site-wide and personal

  • Site-wide: for example, 50% up to €100 on Fridays. It is part of the product, like tournaments and cashback.
  • Personal: an offer to a specific player for a reason. A broken deposit rhythm, a return from churn, a birthday.

Who needs it

An active player who deposits on their own does not need a personal reload: they would have deposited without the bonus. The site-wide offer, tournaments and missions are enough for them. A personal bonus for such a player is a pure cost.

If a player asks for a bonus in chat, support can offer a deposit bonus: that is a sale, not a giveaway.

Terms

Common mistakes

  • A scheduled reload for everyone. Players who would have deposited anyway get the bonus too. Test the effect against a control group.
  • Pushing up the deposit for churned players. Bring them back on their previous terms. Grow the deposit only for active players.
