    1. We may offer bonuses and special offers from time to time (including but not limited to games bonuses, Free Bet Tokens, FreePlay, Tournament Tickets, free spins and Jackpot Vouchers) which are subject to this Bonus Policy, the User Agreement (as applicable to you), and any promotion-specific terms and conditions made available to you (“Promotion Terms”).

    3. If you have a pending message on the website's cashier regarding your recent gaming activity, we reserve the right to revoke your eligibility to participate and/or continue to participate in any promotion. In such an event, any bonus and/or other benefit which you have received and/or are eligible to receive under any such promotion, shall be forfeited by you.
    4. If we reasonably suspect that you may abuse any bonus which may be granted to you, we reserve the right to: (i) not grant you such bonus; (ii) request additional identification documents; or (iii) block or restrict your account.
    5. With respect to a bonus which you have been granted, if you have registered to a future poker tournament which has not taken place and/or you have placed a bet using Available Funds on any sports event which has not been settled, you will only be able to use your Restricted Funds following the conclusion of the poker tournament which you have registered for and/or the bet using Available Funds on the sports event has been settled (as applicable).
    6. The terms "Initial Deposit Welcome Bonus", "First Deposit Bonus", "Match Up Bonus" and "First Time Bonus" all refer to the same Welcome Bonus.
    7. Registration promotions and the first deposit promotions cannot be combined with any other similar promotion.
    8. We may withdraw, revoke or amend any promotion at any time for any reason. If we do so, any bonuses that you have been granted prior to this will still be valid in accordance with the terms that applied at the time of their grant.
    9. Withdrawing funds: Please refer to our Withdrawal Policy for more information on how to withdraw funds.
    10. 888 may conclude promotions, bonuses or special offers before the end of advertised period for example due to security or bonus abuse issues or 888 may prolong the period of a promotion, bonus or special offer.
    11. Your account is made up of both Available Funds (which may also be referred to on the website as "Cash Balance" or "Deposit Balance") and Restricted Funds (which may also be referred to on the website as "Bonus Balance"). Your Restricted Funds are the total of bonus funds that have not yet met the wagering requirement/bonus points requirement (as applicable) and any winnings associated with such bonus funds. Your Available Funds are those funds that you have deposited, and any winnings derived from such funds as well as any bonus funds that have met the applicable wagering requirements/bonus points requirements (as applicable). Available Funds can be: (i) used in any applicable game; or (ii) withdrawn at any time in accordance with the Withdrawal Policy.
    12. If you have both Available Funds and Restricted Funds in your account, the next wager you make will use Available Funds first. Restricted Funds will only be used once your Available Funds balance is zero. The foregoing will not apply to your use of Free Bet Tokens, free spins, FreePlay and jackpot vouchers, which can use at any time. If you place a wager on casino games using Restricted Funds only and win you will receive, depending on your chosen account currency, up to a maximum of $500 in winnings. If your winnings exceed $500 you will only receive $500. Such limitation on your winnings shall not apply to verified progressive jackpot winnings derived from Restricted Funds.
    13. Bonuses differ according to the offering (for example, 888sport, 888poker or 888casino) in which they are played and may be granted to one offering or more.
    14. Unless stated otherwise in the applicable Promotion Terms, all bonuses (and any associated winnings) expire within 30 days of the bonus being granted. This means that you must complete the applicable wagering requirements within 30 days of being granted the bonus, otherwise you will forfeit the bonus and any winnings associated with such bonus.
    15. If you make a withdrawal request, you will forfeit all of your Restricted Funds (which includes without limitation Free Bet Tokens, Tournament Tickets free spins, FreePlay and jackpot vouchers) and any related winnings with respect to such which have not been converted to Available Funds.
    16. In the event of a bonus being removed from your account for any reason, we reserve the right to remove the full bonus amount together with any winnings derived from this bonus, irrespective of any point accumulation that may have occurred with the said bonus.

    3. You can accumulate Bonus Points by:
      1. playing in poker ring games - for every CAD 1 of your “contributed rake” you will earn 2 Bonus Points. “Contributed rake” refers to how much rake you are directly responsible for, based on how much you contributed to the raked pot relative to the other players at the table.
