How to Claim a Bonus

Claiming It, Step by Step
Claiming a bonus is a short process, but a missed step at any point, such as an opt-in you skipped or a deposit method the offer doesn’t allow, can mean it never attaches to your account at all, with no error message telling you why.
This page walks through the process in order, from opting in to tracking your wagering progress once it’s live.
Step 1: Check the Offer’s Own Terms First
Before claiming anything, open the specific offer’s terms page. That’s where the real numbers live: the structure, the wagering multiple, minimum odds, maximum stake while it’s in play, and the expiry window.
Those terms are what govern the offer, not a general description. Our Bonus Terms Explained page covers what each of those terms means once you’re reading them.
Step 2: Opt In
Many Rexbet promotions require an active opt-in rather than applying automatically the moment you deposit. That means a toggle or button on the promotions page has to be switched on before a qualifying deposit is made.
Depositing first and opting in afterward is one of the more common reasons it doesn’t show up, since some offers won’t backdate to a deposit that already landed. Opting in before you fund the account removes that risk entirely.
Step 3: Enter a Promo Code, If One Applies
Not every offer needs a code. Some attach automatically once you’ve opted in, but where a code applies, it goes into a specific field during registration or at the deposit step, not anywhere else in the account.
A code entered after the deposit has already processed, or typed into the wrong field, typically doesn’t retroactively attach the bonus. The promo codes guide breaks down where a code actually goes and what happens to it once it’s submitted.
Step 4: Deposit Using an Eligible Method
Most welcome and reload offers are tied to a real-money deposit, and not every deposit method qualifies.
E-wallets are commonly excluded from bonus eligibility even when they’re accepted for deposits, since some payment providers restrict their use in promotional offers as part of their own terms with the sportsbook. Interac, standard card deposits and bank transfers are more consistently eligible, but the exact list of included and excluded methods sits on the offer’s own terms page and can differ between promotions, so it’s worth confirming before you pick a deposit method purely out of habit.
Step 5: Meet the Minimum Deposit and Timing Window
Deposit-based offers typically set a minimum amount required to qualify, and some also set a window of time after registration during which the qualifying deposit needs to land.
Depositing below the minimum, or outside that window if one applies, means the deposit doesn’t trigger the bonus at all rather than triggering a smaller version of it.
Step 6: Confirm the Credit Landed
Once you’ve opted in and deposited using an eligible method, the bonus should appear as a separate balance in your account, normally shown alongside your cash balance rather than merged into it.
If it hasn’t appeared within the timeframe stated on the offer’s terms, that’s the point to check the terms again for anything you might have missed, or get in touch through our Contact page, rather than assuming it will show up eventually.
Step 7: Track Your Wagering Progress
With a bonus active, most accounts show a running total of how much of the wagering requirement has been cleared, updated as qualifying stakes settle.
Checking this figure periodically, rather than guessing, is the only reliable way to know how much play is left before that balance becomes withdrawable. It’s also the fastest way to notice if a selection you expected to count didn’t, which usually means it didn’t meet the offer’s minimum odds or game-weighting rules.
Declining or Forfeiting the Offer
A bonus isn’t always worth claiming, particularly if its wagering requirement doesn’t suit how you bet. Declining one is as simple as not opting in, or not entering the code, in the first place. If it’s already been credited and you’d rather not use it, most accounts let you forfeit it from the promotions or account settings menu, which removes that balance and any attached requirement, leaving your cash balance untouched.
Forfeiting is generally a cleaner outcome than letting it expire unused, since an active, unfinished offer can restrict how a cash balance is used in some cases until it’s resolved one way or the other.
If Something Doesn’t Add Up
A credit that hasn’t shown up, a wagering total that looks wrong, or a bet that didn’t count the way you expected are all account-specific issues that Rexbet’s own support can look into directly. This site can explain the mechanics, but it doesn’t have access to your account.
