Types of scheme
- Points: earned per stake and swapped for bonus money or spins.
- Tiers: levels that raise the points rate or unlock perks.
- Cashback: a share of losses returned, sometimes as cash.
- Missions and achievements: rewards for completing tasks in games.
What it is worth
Work it out in pounds. If 1 point is earned per £10 staked and 100 points buy £1 of bonus money, the scheme returns 0.1% of your stakes, before any wagering on the reward. Compare that with the house edge of the games you play.
