Wager Requirements may vary depending on the Promotion and are detailed in the Promotion Specific Terms governing a Promotion. Unless otherwise specific in Promotion Specific Terms, Wager Requirements are subject to the following:
    1. Subject to the priority of wagers detailed in Section 4.1 and the terms of Section 5.2 of these General Terms, wagers made from the Player’s Cash Balance or from the Player’s Bonus Balance are each eligible toward meeting Wagering Requirements; and

  2. 5.2 Proportion of Wager Eligible to Fulfill Wagering Requirements: Wagering Requirements may be met by the Player’s wager of both Bonus Funds or Unutilized Funds. Depending on the Game and subject to any Promotion Specific Terms, (i) all; (ii) only a portion; or (iii) none, of a Player’s wager will be eligible in the fulfillment of the Wagering Requirements to convert their Bonus Funds to Unutilized Funds in accordance with the following table:

  7. 5.7 Wager Periods: The Wager Requirements of Bonus Funds must be met within the time limits specified in the Promotion Specific Terms of each specific Promotion. Failure to meet the Wager Requirements within the Wagering Period will result in the expiry and automatic removal of:
    1. the Casino Bonus or Casino Games Specific Bonus from the Player’s Casino Bonus Balance or Casino Games Specific Bonus Balance; and
    2. any Casino or Casino Games Specific Bonus Balance won resulting from the expired/removed Bonus funds being wagered that have not been converted to Unutilized Funds will be removed from the Player’s Casino Bonus or Casino Games Specific Bonus balance, as applicable; and  
    3. in case two Casino or Casino Games Specific Bonuses merge, the Wager Requirements and Wagering Period will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Term 8.1.
  8. 5.8 Bonuses with no Wagering Requirements: Casino Bonuses or Casino Game Specific Bonuses with no Wagering Requirement(s) do not expire; however, Casino Bonus balances or Casino Specific Bonus balances will be removed from the respective balance(s) when a Player:
    1. opts into another Promotion which provides Casino Bonus or Casino Games Specific Bonus with a Wagering Requirement (which then will inherit the Wagering Period of the more recent Bonus as set forth in Article 9 of these General Terms); or
    2. the Player requests OLG to remove the Casino Bonus or Casino Game Specific Bonus from their Player Account.

6 Terms Specific to Lottery Bonuses

  1. 6.1 Lottery Bonuses can only be used for the purchase of Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online and cannot be used for Pay-to-Play Games, Direct Pay, lottery purchases made at an authorized OLG retailer, or any wagering at a casino location in Ontario.

  2. 6.2 To the extent ticket purchases for Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online contribute to meeting a Qualifying Requirement in respect of a Promotion, purchases made through Direct Pay are eligible to contribute to meeting such Qualifying Requirement.

7 Terms Specific to Casino Games Specific Bonuses

  1. 7.1 Subject to this Section 7, Casino Games Specific Bonuses may only be used for eligible Pay-to-Play Games, and such eligibility shall be detailed in the Promotion Specific Terms related to the Promotion.  
  2. 7.2 The balance available to a Player for Casino Games Specific Bonuses will appear as a separate line item in the Player’s Bonus Balance(s). The name of a Casino Games Specific Bonus is variable and set by OLG.
  3. 7.3 In some circumstances, the Casino Games Specific Bonus Balance (or a part thereof) may not be available to be used in relation to a particular Pay-to-Play Game. This may result in a discrepancy between the Total Balance, and the Pay-to-Play Games Balance, shown in the “My Balance” section of a Player Account and the Total Balance shown during the play of Pay-to-Play Games. For the avoidance of doubt, only the Available Balance will be displayed to a Player during their play of a Pay-to-Play Game.  

8 Terms Specific to Sports Bonuses

  1. 8.1 Sports Bonuses can only be used for Sports Betting Games Played Online and cannot be used for other Pay-to-Play Games, for the purchase of Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online, lottery or sports lottery purchases made at an authorized OLG retailer, or any wagering at a casino location in Ontario.

9 Merged Bonuses

  1. 9.1 Eligible Participants can only have one active Promotion with the same Casino Bonus or Casino Games Specific Bonus at a time.  If the Eligible Participant has Bonus Funds in an existing Casino Bonus balance or Casino Games Specific Bonus balance,  and attempts to redeem a subsequent Promotion with the same type of Bonus Balance (i.e. both Bonuses are Casino Bonuses, or both Bonuses are Casino Games Specific Bonuses), they will have the option to merge the bonuses. If the Eligible Participant chooses to merge:
    1. Bonus Funds and Wagering Requirements of the existing Promotion and subsequent Promotion will be added together forming a “Merged Bonus”; and
    2. the Wagering Period from the subsequent Promotion will become the new Wagering Period for the Merged Bonus. NOTE THAT THIS APPLIES EVEN IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE NEW WAGERING PERIOD IS SHORTER THAN THE PREVIOUS WAGERING PERIOD.
  2. 9.2 Merging Bonuses subject to Qualifying Requirements: Bonuses subject to a Qualifying Requirement and Wagering Requirements do not merge until the Qualifying Requirement is met and funds are provided to the Individual.
  3. 9.3 Example of Merged Bonus: by way of example only,  if a Player has opted into a Casino Bonus of $10.00 in Bonus Funds  with $20 Wager Requirement and the Wagering Period left is 7 days,  and that Player then elects to redeem a subsequent Promotion of $5 in Casino Bonus funds with Wager Requirement of $5 and Wagering Period of 1 day, then the Merged Bonus will consist of $15 in Casino Bonus Funds, with Wager Requirement of $25 and a new Wagering Period of 1 day. The Player’s previous active Bonus status will change to “Merge Completed” in the Player’s “Bonus History” page, while the Player’s Merged Bonus will remain an “Active Bonus” appearing under the Player’s “Your Active Promotions” page in the Promotions Lobby
  4. 9.4 Merging Bonuses with no Wager Requirements: Casino Bonuses or Casino Games Specific Bonuses with no Wager Requirements do not expire unless they are merged with the same type of Casino Bonus or Casino Games Specific Bonus with Wager Requirements. For example: If a Player has opted into an existing Casino Bonus of $100 with no Wager Requirements and this balance is merged with a subsequent Promotion which is $100 in Casino Bonus funds with Wager Requirement of $100 and a Wagering Period of 7 days, the Casino Bonus funds will be added together to form a Merged Bonus, and the Player will have 7 days to wager $100 from the subsequent Promotion in order to convert the combined Bonus Funds to their Cash Balance. The Merged Bonus will then expire if the Wager Requirements are not met before the Wagering Period ends.
  5. 9.5 Lottery Bonuses and Sports Bonuses: Lottery Bonuses and Sports Bonuses are not subject to Bonus Merging.
