The Slots City online casino Website is powered by cutting-edge technology to provide each registered User with a virtually unlimited number of generous exclusive bonuses that extend gameplay time and enhance the gaming experience, with the possibility of real winnings.
1. BALANCES
1.1. For your convenience, your Slots City online casino Game Account is made up of several types of balances:
- Cash balance;
- Bonus balances.
2. CASH BALANCE
2.1. Cash balance consists of:
- Those funds that the User has deposited;
- All winnings derived from bets placed only from Cash balance funds;
- Bonus funds that have met the applicable wagering requirements, within the applicable maximum cash out limit;
- Amounts of bonuses, free spins winnings, prizes, compensations, rewards, gifts, etc., which are not subject to wagering requirements;
- Other funds that are not inconsistent with this Bonus Policy and the Terms and Conditions.
2.2. Cash balance funds, provided they are available in sufficient amount, can be used at any time at the discretion of the User:
- To place any applicable bets on any games on the Website without further restrictions on bet amount, maximum cash out, wagering requirements, etc. (unconditional bet);
- To make a withdrawal request in accordance with the Terms and Conditions;
- To make any other transactions not inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions.
3. BONUS BALANCES

- Other funds that are not inconsistent with this Bonus Policy and the Terms and Conditions and which need to be wagered as well.
4. MIXED BET
4.1. If you have funds in both Cash and Bonus balance, first, you will place bets using your Cash balance. Bonus funds will only be used if your Cash balance is insufficient for the bet you are placing.
4.2. If the bet amount you are placing exceeds your Cash balance, the missing amount will be automatically deducted from your Bonus balance, provided that:
- You have a sufficient Bonus balance;
- You play a slot machine that accepts bets with bonus funds.
4.3. When you place a mixed bet using both your Cash and Bonus balance at the same time:
- Only the amount charged from your Bonus balance will contribute towards the wagering requirements.
5. ACTIVE AND QUEUED BONUSES
5.1. The bonuses in queue are those redeemed with deposits or claimed no-deposit bonuses (in both cases – activated), which have not been canceled and applicable wagering requirements have not been met.
5.2. Active bonus is a bonus that has been activated first among all others in queue.
5.3. Wagering requirements can only be met for the Active bonus. To fulfill them for the second one in queue, you must first meet playthrough requirements of the Active bonus or cancel it. After that, the second bonus in queue will become the first, i.e. Active, etc.
6. WAGERING REQUIREMENTS
6.1. Wagering (playthrough, rollover) requirements primarily specify the coefficient by which the initial bonus amount and/or free spins winnings must be multiplied to determine the total amount of bets required to qualify for withdrawal of bonus funds and the winnings associated with those funds.
6.2. For example, your bonus is 50 CAD/EUR with an applicable wagering requirements of 30xB, therefore you need to bet the total amount of 1,500 CAD/EUR (50 x 30) before qualifying for withdrawal of the bonus and winnings derived from the bonus funds.
6.3. See p.8.5 below to check the amount to be wagered as you are playing an Active bonus.
6.4. As long as you fulfill the wagering requirements, all possible winnings are credited to the Bonus balance.
6.5. Usually a max bet while wagering is set, e.g. C$/€ 5. In spite of that, all winnings derived from any applicable bets will be credited to the Bonus balance. But only bets no higher than C$/€ 5 will contribute towards wagering requirements.
6.6. Wagering is only allowed on slot machines mentioned in section 7 of this Policy. All applicable bets on those slots, subject to p.6.5, contribute 100% towards the wagering requirements.
6.7. Once you have met the applicable wagering requirements:
- The Bonus balance amount not exceeding the maximum cash out limit will be transferred to the Cash balance and will become available for placing unconditional bets or withdrawing funds;
- The remaining Bonus balance amount will be zeroed out;
- Cleared Bonus balance will be replenished with the amount of the next bonus in queue, if any, or newly activated bonus, which will become Active.
6.8. If the funds of the Bonus balance run out before the applicable wagering requirements are met, this balance will be topped up with the amount of the next bonus in queue, if any, or newly activated bonus.
6.9. Some online casinos may apply wagering requirements to both the bonus funds and the amount you deposit. For example, 35x(B+D), where B – bonus, D – deposit. At Slots City you need to wager only bonuses, e.g. 40xB.
