Reload bonuses (100% match on deposit) are common. Most players play them incorrectly. The efficient strategy is to choose the highest RTP slot that counts 100% toward wagering and play at the minimum bet size allowed. This minimizes your expected loss during wagering. Increasing your bet size to "finish faster" increases your risk of ruin without improving expected value. I tested this across 20 reload bonuses. The slow-and-steady approach consistently produced better results. Some platforms display game weighting and RTP clearly on the bonus page — on the site makes this information easy to find.
The only exception is when the bonus has a short expiration period (under 48 hours). In that case, you may need to bet larger to complete wagering in time.
Never play table games during reload bonus wagering unless they count 100% (rare). The low contribution percentage makes wagering impossibly slow.
