ScratchCards Bonuses

There are many types of bonuses available on scratch card websites; some are just for new players and some are purely for regular, faithful members. Before accepting and signing up to a bonus, there are just a few steps and policies to take into account, and before signing up for one, it's best to know exactly what it is.

No Deposit Bonus

A no deposit scratchcard bonus is one of the most popular bonuses, and usually, these are solely for brand new registrants. A no deposit bonus is exactly how it sounds: it is a bonus that can be claimed without making any kind of deposit.
Usually, to claim one, you'll simply just need to register a new account. You may on some sites also have to register a payment method, but no money is ever usually taken. Once you have registered, the free no deposit bonus (these usually range from £1 to £10) will be credited to your account and then this is free for you to spend on whichever game you fancy. The no deposit bonus is really there to help you try out the site without spending your money. Bear in mind though, that most policies request that you deposit in order to withdraw any winnings. There are rarely no deposit scratch cards bonuses that allow you to cash out without depositing a penny.

Match Up Bonus

The other type of bonus is the “first deposit”, sometimes known as the “cash match”. This is a bonus that is added to your first deposit instantly and usually is around 100%. This means that you'll get 100% of your first deposit free, so a £10 deposit would mean £10 free. The policy surrounding these can be confusing though, as most come with a request to wager a certain amount times your bonus before you can withdraw. If the scratch bonus states “20 times” and you deposit £10, this means you'd have to deposit £200 in order to withdraw any winnings. You are sometimes able to withdraw though, but only if you are okay with losing the bonus funds.

Invite a Friend Offer

The Refer a Friend bonus is one that a lot of scratch card sites run and it simply rewards players for referring their friends. For example, if you refer your friend and they end up registering and depositing, you'll be handed a bonus. With these bonuses, you are usually able to withdraw any cash you win with no wagering requirements.

VIP Bonus

VIP bonuses are also very similar and usually come with no policies, other than the money can only be spent on scratch cards and not withdrawn. VIP bonuses are usually handed out to players that have been a member of a site for a long time and are sometimes known as loyalty bonuses.
