New Player Welcome Bonus
First-time depositors receive a 100% match bonus up to R10,000 on their initial transaction. Deposit R5,000 and PowerBets adds another R5,000 to your betting balance—giving you R10,000 total. The minimum qualifying deposit sits at R50; anything below won't trigger the bonus.
Bonus funds arrive within 60 seconds of deposit confirmation. For sports betting, you must roll over the bonus amount 6 times at minimum odds of 1.60. Casino bonuses carry 30x wagering on slots, 40x on table games. You have 30 days from activation to clear requirements. Maximum bet limits during wagering sit at R50 per sports bet and R25 per casino spin.

Understanding Bonus Terms
Wagering Requirements
Every bonus lists a rollover multiplier—how many times you must bet the bonus before withdrawing. A R500 bonus with 6x wagering needs R3,000 in qualifying bets. Only bets at specified minimum odds count toward clearance.
Maximum Bet Limits
During active bonus wagering, your stake per bet caps at stated amounts—typically R50 for sports, R25 for casino spins. Placing a R100 bet voids your entire bonus immediately.
Game Restrictions
Not all games contribute equally toward wagering. Slots usually count 100%, while blackjack might count 10% and roulette 5%. Bet R100 on blackjack and only R10 reduces your requirement.
Expiration Periods
Bonuses expire after set timeframes—commonly 30 days for deposits, 7 days for free spins, 14 days for cashback. Once expired, bonus funds and winnings disappear with no grace period.
One Bonus Active
You can't stack multiple bonuses simultaneously. Activate the welcome offer and you can't claim free spins until the welcome bonus clears or expires completely.
Withdrawal Restrictions
Requesting cashout before meeting wagering voids the bonus and all winnings derived from it. If you deposited R1,000 with a R1,000 bonus and withdrew early, you'd lose the bonus plus associated winnings.
Bonus Questions
Can I withdraw my deposit immediately after claiming a bonus?
No—accepting a bonus locks both your deposit and bonus funds until wagering completes. Requesting withdrawal forfeits the bonus and winnings. If you want deposit flexibility, don't opt into bonuses.
Do live betting wagers count toward bonus rollover?
Yes, if they meet minimum odds requirements. However, some promotions like accumulator bonuses explicitly exclude live markets—read each promotion's specific terms carefully.
What happens if I bet on both outcomes using bonus funds?
Hedging is prohibited. Betting on both sides to guarantee wagering progress violates abuse terms. PowerBets monitors patterns; detected hedging voids bonuses and may suspend your account.
Can I claim the welcome bonus multiple times?
Absolutely not. One bonus per person, household, IP address, device. Creating multiple accounts results in permanent bans and forfeiture of balances. KYC verification catches duplicates during withdrawal attempts.
Why did my bonus disappear from my account?
Common reasons: exceeded maximum bet limit, wagered on restricted games, expired timeframe passed, attempted withdrawal before completing rollover. Check your bonus history in account settings for specific forfeiture reasons.
Are PowerBets bonuses better than competitor offers?
PowerBets' 6x sports wagering sits below the South African industry average of 8-10x, making it easier to clear. However, lower rollover often beats higher amounts with punishing terms.
