I signed up to PiggyBet on a Tuesday evening, deposited £50 and had £100 to play with before my kettle boiled. The extra £50 came from the PiggyBet welcome bonus, a 100% match up to £100 plus 50 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p a spin. The wagering is 35x, higher than the 30x some rivals use, so read the terms before you deposit.
Claiming the PiggyBet Welcome Bonus Step by Step
The sign up offer is open to every new customer aged 18 or over with a UK address. Registration took me about four minutes. Follow the steps in order, because skipping the code field means no bonus.
- Register with your name, date of birth, UK address and mobile number.
- Click the confirmation link PiggyBet sends to your email address.
- Open the cashier and deposit at least £20 with a Visa or Mastercard debit card.
- Type the welcome bonus code into the promo field before you confirm the deposit.
- Check your balance. PiggyBet credits the bonus to a separate wallet within a minute and adds the 50 free spins to Big Bass Bonanza.
My £50 deposit produced £50 in bonus funds. PiggyBet takes your stakes from the cash balance first, so the bonus stays untouched until your own money is gone. If you win on cash before that point, you can withdraw straight away and forfeit the bonus. Most players will want to keep going, since the match is the reason to sign up.
Terms and Conditions
PiggyBet attaches five conditions to the new customer offer, and the wagering requirement costs you the most.
| Condition | Details |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | New UK customers aged 18+. One account per household, first deposit only. |
| Minimum deposit | £20. A £100 deposit earns the full £100 match. |
| Wagering requirements | 35x the bonus amount, so a £100 bonus needs £3,500 in stakes. Maximum bet of £5 per spin or hand while you wager. |
| Expiration | 30 days for bonus funds, 7 days for the free spins. |
| Restricted games | Slots count 100% towards wagering, table games 10%, live casino and jackpot slots 0%. |
Do the sums before you deposit. A £50 deposit gives you a £50 bonus, which means £1,750 in stakes before PiggyBet releases bonus winnings. At 96% RTP the theoretical cost of that turnover is £70, more than the bonus itself, so you rely on variance to finish ahead. I also tried a £5 blackjack hand out of habit and watched 50p count towards wagering. Stick to slots.
Maximising the Benefits
A few habits stretch the casino welcome bonus further than a straight run at the reels.
- Read the wagering and maximum bet rules in the terms before you deposit.
- Pick slots with an RTP of 96% or higher. Blood Suckers sits at 98% and counts in full.
- Stake £1 a spin or less, which gives a £50 bonus room to survive a cold run.
- Check the Promotions page for reload offers once you clear the welcome package.
- Watch the wagering tracker in your account so the 30-day deadline does not catch you out.
Set a deposit limit in your account settings before you claim anything, and play with money you can afford to lose.
