Deposit match

A deposit match adds promotional credit calculated as a percentage of an eligible deposit, usually subject to a maximum bonus. The credit is governed by the promotion's conditions.

The percentage and cap work together. A high percentage does not necessarily create a higher bonus once the maximum has been reached, and only qualifying deposits may count.

Calculating the credited amount

Multiply the qualifying deposit by the match percentage, then apply the cap. A hypothetical 150% match capped at ₹3,000 credits ₹1,500 for a ₹1,000 qualifying deposit. A ₹3,000 deposit still credits at most ₹3,000. The cap belongs to the bonus, unless the wording explicitly describes a combined deposit-and-bonus limit.

Minimum deposits, excluded payment methods and account eligibility can override this arithmetic. A promotion can also divide its percentage across several deposits. Read the component that applies to the current deposit rather than multiplying by a package-wide headline.

Percentage versus usable value

A large percentage says how the initial credit is calculated. It does not describe wagering difficulty, permitted bets or whether the original credit remains in the balance after completion. A 50% match with simpler restrictions can have different practical implications from a 200% match with strict caps. Neither is guaranteed profit.

Follow the balance after activation

Note the real-money amount, bonus amount, required turnover and expiry separately. If ₹500 bonus has a 20-times bonus-only requirement, the stated turnover is ₹10,000. If the same multiplier applies to a ₹1,000 deposit plus that bonus, it is ₹30,000. The advertised match percentage cannot resolve this difference; the wagering clause must.

In practice

For a hypothetical 100% match capped at ₹1,000, an eligible ₹600 deposit produces ₹600 in promotional credit. An eligible ₹1,500 deposit reaches the ₹1,000 cap.

What to check

Check the eligible deposit, cap, payment exclusions and wagering base. Distinguish deposited cash from matched promotional credit.
