Promotion Clauses at Reviant
Terms documents are written to be complete rather than readable, which is why almost nobody finishes one. The good news is that the same eight or nine clauses recur across the entire industry, so learning them once is enough to read any offer anywhere. What follows is each of them in the order they are most likely to cost somebody money.
Read the operator’s current termsThe stake ceiling
While an obligation is open, individual stakes are capped. Exceeding that cap even once is usually treated not as a warning but as a breach that voids the credit and every unit won from it, and the enforcement is automatic. What makes this clause dangerous is that the interface frequently permits the oversized stake — the system accepts it, records it and cancels the promotion afterwards. Nothing stops it at the moment it happens. Anyone holding a credit should know the ceiling as a number before placing a single round.
The conversion cap
A cap on how much of the winnings arising from a credit can ever be withdrawn. It matters most on offers requiring no payment, where it is the defining constraint, but it appears on deposit-linked offers too. Because it acts at the moment of conversion rather than during play, a large balance can shrink dramatically at exactly the point somebody expects to be paid. It is the clause that produces the most complaints and the fewest successful ones, because it was disclosed all along.
Sticky and non-sticky credit
Non-sticky credit converts into withdrawable balance once the obligation is met. Sticky credit never does — it funds play and is removed at the end, leaving only whatever was won with it. Both are described as bonuses and they are different products. The distinction is visible in one sentence of the terms and changes the value of an offer by more than any percentage does.
| Clause | What it costs when ignored |
|---|---|
| Stake ceiling | The whole credit and everything won from it |
| Conversion cap | Everything above the cap, at payout time |
| Sticky credit | The credited amount itself, always |
| Excluded titles | Rounds that consume balance and advance nothing |
| Expiry | Credit and attached winnings, in full |
| Early withdrawal | Forfeits the remaining credit outright |
| Excluded routes | No credit issued despite a settled payment |
| Irregular play | Cancellation at the operator’s discretion |
Excluded titles and contribution rates
Two overlapping restrictions. Excluded titles advance the counter by nothing at all while still consuming balance. Contribution rates advance it partially — a fifth of face value is common on table formats — which quietly multiplies the required volume for anyone playing them. Both lists live in the terms rather than in the game lobby, and the lobby gives no indication of which category a title falls into.
Expiry, and the two clocks
Most offers run two deadlines rather than one: a window in which the offer must be claimed, and a separate window in which the obligation must be completed. Missing the first means the offer disappears; missing the second means the credit and everything attached to it is removed. Neither generates a warning worth relying on. Working out the daily volume the second deadline implies, before claiming, is the practical test of whether an offer fits an actual schedule.
The irregular play clause
Almost every terms document contains a discretionary provision against play designed to exploit a promotion rather than to gamble with it — covering low-risk hedged betting across opposing outcomes, mechanical stake patterns and coordinated activity across accounts. It is deliberately broad, and it is the clause under which unusual cases are actually cancelled. Ordinary play never encounters it; anything resembling a system for clearing an obligation risk-free will.
One account, one person
Duplicate registrations are the fastest route to a closed account with a frozen balance, and the matching is automated across payment instruments, addresses, devices and network connections. The same principle covers payments from another person's instrument, which is refused by design. This is a licence condition rather than an operator preference, so no support conversation changes the outcome. Where a case has already gone wrong, the escalation route is on the disputes page.
Reading a set of terms in five minutes
Search the document for the stake ceiling, the conversion cap, the word describing whether the credit converts, the expiry, and the contribution list. Those five answers determine an offer's value; the rest is boilerplate common to the whole industry. The arithmetic that turns them into a comparable number is on the turnover page, and each category applies them differently — see the opening match and rebates for the two extremes.
