A player opens Mojogo's promotions page and sees a headline number. The mistake is to treat that number as money. It is a condition attached to money, and the condition is written in a smaller font further down the page. The reader's real task is not to find the biggest headline but to find the five items that decide whether the offer can ever be withdrawn.
The headline is a multiplier, not a payment
Every bonus on a promotions page is built the same way. The operator states a headline percentage, then attaches a wagering requirement to it. The wagering requirement is a multiple of the bonus amount, or of the deposit plus the bonus, that the player must stake before any withdrawal is possible. Until that total is reached, the bonus balance is locked. A player who reads only the headline and deposits has agreed to a condition they have not seen.
On Mojogo's page, the headline sits at the top of each offer. The wagering multiple sits in the terms section below it, usually under a heading such as "Wagering requirements" or "Bonus terms". The reader should read the headline, then scroll immediately to that section. The two numbers are one offer, not two separate facts.
The five items that decide an offer
Five items on a promotions page determine whether an offer has any value to a particular player. They are:
- The wagering multiple — how many times the bonus, or the deposit plus bonus, must be staked.
- The basis — whether the multiple applies to the bonus only, or to the deposit plus bonus. This one distinction can roughly double the total staking requirement.
- The eligible games — which games count toward the wagering requirement, and at what rate. A slot may count fully; a table game may count at a fraction, or not at all.
- The time limit — how long the player has to complete the wagering before the bonus and any winnings from it are removed.
- The maximum cashout — the ceiling on how much of the final balance can be withdrawn after wagering is complete.
Each of these is stated somewhere on Mojogo's page or in the terms document linked from it. The reader's job is to find all five before depositing. An offer that hides one of them is not a better offer; it is an unreadable one.
| Item to confirm | Why it can change | Where it is stated |
|---|---|---|
| Wagering multiple | Operators adjust it between campaigns; a headline offer may carry a different multiple than a standard one | Terms section under each offer, or the linked full terms page |
| Basis (bonus only vs deposit plus bonus) | The same multiple produces very different totals depending on the basis; operators sometimes change the basis without changing the headline | Usually in the same sentence as the wagering multiple |
| Eligible games and weighting | Game weighting tables are revised as new titles launch or as operators rebalance risk | A table or list within the bonus terms, often labelled "Game weighting" or "Eligible games" |
| Time limit | Promotional periods vary; a welcome offer may allow longer than a weekly reload | Stated in the offer terms, sometimes in days from activation |
| Maximum cashout | Often lower on no-deposit offers or free spins than on deposit matches | In the terms, frequently near the end of the offer conditions |
Where each item sits on the page
Mojogo's promotions page is a list of offers. Each offer typically has a short description with the headline, and a link or expandable section with the full terms. The reader should not assume that the short description contains everything. The short description is advertising; the terms section is the contract.
The wagering multiple and its basis are usually in the first paragraph of the terms. The eligible games list is often a separate table, because it is long and changes frequently. The time limit is usually a single sentence, easy to miss. The maximum cashout is often the last item in the terms, or it appears in a separate "Important information" box. A reader who reads only the first two paragraphs of the terms has read the most favourable part of the offer.
What the page does not say
Some promotions pages do not state all five items on the page itself. They link to a general terms and conditions document. That document is still part of the offer. The reader who stops at the promotions page has not read the offer. The linked document is where the operator places the items that are least attractive: the maximum cashout, the excluded games, the time limit. If the promotions page does not state an item, the reader should look for the link, usually at the bottom of the page or in the footer.
If neither the page nor the linked document states one of the five items, that absence is itself information. An offer without a stated time limit may be removed at the operator's discretion. An offer without a stated maximum cashout may still have one in practice. The reader cannot assume the absence means the item does not exist; it means the reader cannot verify it, and should treat the offer as less certain than one that states all five items.
Free spins are not free
Free spins are a separate kind of offer, but they carry the same five items. The spins themselves have no cost, but any winnings from them are bonus funds, subject to a wagering requirement. The reader should check the same five items for free spins: the wagering multiple on winnings, the basis, the eligible games (usually the specific slot the spins are for), the time limit on using the spins and on wagering the winnings, and the maximum cashout from free spin winnings.
On Mojogo's page, free spins offers are typically presented alongside deposit matches. The terms for the free spins are usually separate from the terms for the deposit match, even when they are part of the same welcome package. The reader should read both sets of terms.
VIP and cashback offers are calculated, not paid
VIP cashback and rebate offers look simpler than deposit matches, but they are still conditions. The cashback is usually a percentage of net losses over a period, credited as bonus funds with their own wagering requirement, or as withdrawable funds with a minimum threshold. The reader should check whether the cashback is withdrawable immediately or subject to wagering, what period it covers, and whether there is a minimum loss before cashback applies.
The promotions page may state the cashback percentage without stating the period or the minimum. Those items are in the terms. A cashback offer with a high percentage but a short period and a high minimum may be worth less than a lower percentage over a longer period with no minimum. The reader cannot tell from the headline.
Why the numbers on the page are not stable
A promotions page is a living document. Operators change offers between campaigns, adjust wagering multiples, swap eligible games, and revise time limits. A figure read today may not hold tomorrow. The reader who claims an offer should note the terms as they were at the moment of claiming, because that is the version that binds. The page itself may change the next day, and the reader's terms are the ones they accepted.
This is why the reader should not rely on memory, or on a summary from another site. The only binding source is the operator's own page at the moment of claiming. A summary can tell the reader what to look for; it cannot tell them what the page will say on the day they claim.
Reading the page in order
A practical order for reading Mojogo's promotions page is:
- Choose one offer, not several. Each has its own terms.
- Read the headline, then the terms section for that offer.
- Find the wagering multiple and its basis. Note whether it is bonus only or deposit plus bonus.
- Find the eligible games list and the weighting for the games the player intends to play.
- Find the time limit and the maximum cashout.
- If any item is missing, follow the link to the full terms document.
- If the item is still missing, treat the offer as unverifiable and either avoid it or accept the uncertainty.
This order takes minutes and prevents the most common mistake: depositing for an offer whose terms make it impossible for the player to withdraw.
FAQ
What is the wagering requirement on Mojogo bonuses?
The wagering requirement is stated in the terms section of each offer on Mojogo's promotions page. It is a multiple of the bonus, or of the deposit plus bonus, that must be staked before withdrawal. The reader should check both the multiple and its basis, because the same multiple on a different basis produces a different total.
Do free spins winnings have to be wagered?
Yes. Winnings from free spins are bonus funds and are subject to a wagering requirement stated in the free spins terms. The reader should check the multiple, the eligible games, the time limit, and the maximum cashout for free spin winnings separately from any deposit match in the same package.
Where is the maximum cashout stated?
The maximum cashout is usually in the terms section, often near the end, or in the linked full terms document. If it is not stated on the promotions page itself, the reader should follow the link to the general terms and conditions. If it is not stated anywhere, the reader cannot assume there is no limit.
Can the promotions page change after I claim an offer?
Yes. The page can change at any time. The terms that bind the reader are the terms as they were at the moment of claiming. The reader should note them at that moment, because the page may show different terms the next day.
This page is an independent summary of what a promotions page covers and how to read it; it is not published by Mojogo, and it states no figure or status for that operator, whose own promotions page and linked terms are the only binding source for any offer.
