Two welcome paths, one decision: are you here for the casino or the sportsbook? The casino welcome is 100% match up to £500 plus 200 free spins, drip-released across ten days. The sports welcome is 100% up to £200 paid as a free bet after your first qualifying wager settles. Both opt-in at registration — no promo code to remember — and both follow the wagering pattern explained in detail below.
Mr Punter writes welcome bonus terms the way we'd want them written if we were the punter. The match cap is real (£500 means £500, not "up to £5,000 if you deposit £10,000"). The free spins are dripped honestly so you have a reason to come back — 20 instant, then 20 a day for nine days, use-them-or-lose-them. Wagering is set at 35x on the casino match, 5x on the sportsbook free bet, and a calendar month to clear it.
Below: how the casino and sports welcomes work, the exact wagering maths on a sample deposit, and the questions our support team gets asked most.

| Minimum deposit | £10 | £10 |
| Wagering requirement | 35x bonus | 5x free bet |

Wagering ("playthrough") is the total amount you have to bet across eligible games before bonus winnings can be withdrawn. Worked example below.
Say you deposit £100 and opt in to the casino welcome. You get a £100 bonus (100% match), so your balance shows £200 with the bonus portion ringfenced. Wagering is 35x on the bonus only (not deposit + bonus — a friendlier construction than 35x on the combined amount):
| Deposit | £100 |
| Bonus | £100 |
| Wagering base | £100 (bonus only) |
| Multiplier | 35x |
| Total wagering required | £100 × 35 = £3,500 in slot bets |
| Window | 30 days |
| Max bet during bonus | £5 per spin / hand |
On slots, every pound you bet counts as one pound of wagering. On blackjack (10% contribution) you would need 10 times more wagering to clear the same amount. Bet sizing matters: stick to £5 or less per spin while the bonus is active, or you'll void the bonus and lose any winnings tied to it.
| Game type | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Slots (most titles) | 100% |
| Crash & arcade-style | 100% |
| Video poker | 20% |
| Roulette | 10% |
| Blackjack (all variants) | 10% |
| Baccarat | 10% |
| Live dealer (most tables) | 10% |
| Specific excluded slots | 0% (full list in T&Cs after sign-up) |
Some high-RTP or low-volatility slots are excluded from wagering altogether — they're listed in the terms attached to each bonus inside your account. If you're aiming to clear wagering efficiently, stick to mainstream slots with 95-97% RTP.
Once you've cleared the welcome bonus, Mr Punter runs a stable rotation of weekly promotions for existing members:
No promo code is needed — the welcome bonus is unlocked by ticking the opt-in box on the deposit screen during registration. There is nothing to remember or type into a "bonus code" field. If you land on the site through a partner link with an embedded code such as JT5452FG, the opt-in is pre-filled for you. Without the opt-in tick, your first deposit is credited to your real-money balance as cash only, no bonus attached — you can then contact live chat within 24 hours to apply it retroactively.
No — only one welcome bonus per member, and you pick which path at the deposit screen. The casino welcome pays a 100% match up to £500 plus 200 free spins; the sports welcome pays a 100% match up to £200 as a free bet after your first qualifying wager settles. Most punters take the casino welcome because the cap is higher and the free-spin volume is generous. Regular sports bettors who never touch slots naturally prefer the £200 free bet — pick whichever matches your actual play pattern.
20 spins land in your account the moment your first deposit settles. The remaining 180 are paid as 20 spins per day for the following nine days. Each daily batch expires 24 hours after credit — use them or lose them. The drip is deliberate: it gives you a reason to come back rather than blowing all 200 in one session.
Not until wagering is met. Winnings generated with bonus funds are flagged as "bonus winnings" until you've completed the 35x playthrough; after that they convert to withdrawable cash. You can still withdraw your original deposit at any time — but doing so before clearing wagering will cancel the bonus and any winnings tied to it.
The bonus is voided and any bonus-locked winnings are forfeited — your original real-money deposit stays untouched. The £5-per-spin cap covers slots; on table games and live dealer the cap is £5 per hand. This rule exists across the industry to prevent bonus abuse via high-stakes bets that could turn a £500 bonus into a five-figure single-hand liability. The deposit screen shows the active limit while a bonus is running, and the system pops up a warning if you try to place a wager above it — take the warning seriously, one accidental £6 spin voids the whole thing.
30 days from activation. If you don't clear the 35x requirement in that window, unspent bonus funds and bonus-locked winnings expire — your original real-money deposit remains untouched. The clock does not pause if you take a break. 30 days is generous for normal play: on a £100 deposit and £100 bonus, sticking to £1-£3 slot bets at 100% contribution clears the £3,500 wagering inside two weeks. Live dealer only clears at 10%, so if you switch to blackjack for the bonus you will need ten times the volume — plan accordingly.
Yes — the 200 free spins are credited on a single featured Pragmatic Play slot that rotates roughly every quarter. Recent slots in that rotation include Big Bass Splash, Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza. The current title is announced on the offer screen at sign-up, so you know before you deposit. Spin value is fixed at 10p each — total spin value is £20 across the 200 spins — and any winnings from the spins are subject to the 35x wagering requirement before they can be withdrawn as cash.
Yes — open Account > Active promotions and click "Cancel bonus", or contact live chat and ask an agent to remove it. Your original real-money deposit stays intact and can be withdrawn to the same source as normal. The bonus balance and any winnings tied to it are removed — that is the trade-off. It's useful if you decide during the first few sessions that you would rather play with unrestricted cash instead of grinding through 35x wagering with a £5 max-bet cap and 30-day expiry hanging over each spin.
