Weekly bonus offers explained

What a weekly bonus is

Casinos use the phrase ‘weekly bonus’ for any promotion that can be claimed once per week. Unlike a first deposit bonus, it is aimed at people who already have an account, and it usually appears in your inbox or on the promotions page after you log in. It is one of several repeat offers covered in our overview of bonus types.

Three formats make up most weekly offers. A weekly reload matches part of a deposit made in that week. Weekly cashback refunds a percentage of your net losses over the week. Weekly spins hand out a set number of spins once you meet a stake target. A few casinos also run weekly tournaments or prize draws, which we treat separately on our page about the tournament bonus.

The weekly rhythm makes these offers feel like a regular part of play. That is exactly why the terms deserve a careful read each time: a seven-day window can quietly set a weekly deposit target or a weekly stake target that you would not have chosen for yourself.

Weekly bonus offers at our partner casinos

In the offer details we checked on 5 October 2026, none of Coral, Ladbrokes, PlayOJO, Casumo or 10bet published a standing weekly bonus open to all existing customers. Promotions for existing players are often personalised and shown only after log-in, so the reliable route is the promotions page in your own account.

Several partner welcome offers do run on a seven-day clock, which is useful for comparison. Coral’s 100 spins stay valid for 7 days once accepted. Ladbrokes’ 50-a-day spins each last 7 days. Casumo’s 50% match up to £100 must be wagered 10 times within 7 days. Those are one-off windows, not a weekly scheme, but they show how much a week-long deadline shapes the value of an offer.

All offers named on this page are for adults aged 18 or over, and terms apply. PlayOJO’s welcome offer is not available in Northern Ireland.

Calendar week or rolling seven days: how a weekly bonus resets

The single most overlooked detail in a weekly offer is the definition of ‘week’. It decides when your qualifying play counts, when the reward lands and when you can claim again. Most terms use one of the patterns below.

Time zones matter too. UK casinos normally work to UK time, so the clocks changing in spring and autumn can move a midnight cut-off by an hour relative to what you expect. If the terms don’t say which pattern applies, ask support and keep the reply; our guide to keeping records of bonuses suggests a simple way to log it.

Weekly reload bonus maths with the 10x cap

A weekly reload bonus works like a smaller welcome match. Take an illustrative offer of 25% up to £50, once per week, with 10x wagering on the bonus. The table shows what different deposits produce and what the wagering costs on average at a 4% house edge, which is typical of many slots with around 96% RTP.

Two lessons stand out. The bonus stops growing at £200, so depositing £400 adds no extra bonus. And the ‘bonus left on average’ column is an average across a very large number of players; any single week can end with nothing left, because short sessions swing far more than the house edge suggests. Under the code in force since 19 January 2026, the wagering can’t be set above 10x the bonus, which is why the cost column stays modest compared with older offers. Our wagering calculator lets you plug in other figures.

The money you deposit is still exposed to the house edge whenever you play with it. A weekly reload can make a planned deposit go a little further on paper, but it does not change the long-run cost of play.

Weekly cashback: what 10% back is really worth

Cashback is the other common weekly format. An illustrative scheme might return 10% of your net losses from Monday to Sunday, up to £50, credited the following Monday. Net losses usually mean deposits minus withdrawals and remaining balance over the week, but each casino defines it in its own terms, so read that line closely.

Cashback only pays after a losing week, and it reduces the loss rather than reversing it. A £100 losing week is still a £90 losing week afterwards. The bigger risk is behavioural: a refund on losses can make heavier play feel cheaper than it is. Look for cashback paid as cash with no wagering, and treat it as a small rebate, not a reason to play on. Our page on cashback with no wagering and the cashback maths guide go into the formulas.

How to claim a weekly bonus, step by step

1. Log in and open the promotions page or your account inbox; weekly offers are often personalised.
2. Read the significant terms: the week’s start and end, the qualifying deposit or stake, the reward, wagering, maximum bet and expiry.
3. Opt in if required. The Gambling Commission says players must opt in to promotions rather than be enrolled automatically.
4. Check your payment method qualifies; some e-wallets and prepaid cards are excluded from some offers.
5. Make the qualifying deposit or stake inside that week’s window.
6. Confirm the bonus appears in a separate bonus balance; deposit and bonus balances must be shown separately.
7. Meet any wagering before the expiry date, staying within the maximum bet, or let the bonus lapse if you change your mind.

Weekly bonus terms that change the value

Weekly offers often reuse a template, so it is tempting to skim. These clauses are the ones that most often decide whether a week’s offer is worth taking:

• Minimum deposit: often higher for reloads than for welcome offers.
• Bonus cap: the point beyond which a bigger deposit adds nothing.
• Wagering multiple and contribution: up to 10x, with table games sometimes counting at a lower contribution percentage.
• Expiry: weekly bonuses often lapse after 3 to 7 days, which can be shorter than the week itself.
• Maximum bet: a cap per spin while the bonus is active, on top of the £5 or £2 legal slot limit.
• Maximum win or max cashout: a limit on what bonus winnings can be withdrawn.
• Net loss definition for cashback, and whether cashback is cash or bonus funds.
• Payment exclusions and eligibility: who the offer was sent to, and which methods qualify.

If a clause seems to give the casino wide discretion to cancel winnings, compare it with the Commission’s guidance. Operators must spell out prohibited play in advance and can’t reserve sole discretion over what breaches the terms. Our guide to spotting unfair bonus terms shows what that looks like in practice.

UK weekly bonus rules in 2026

Weekly offers are governed by the same rewards and bonuses code as everything else, LCCP social responsibility code 5.1.1 (opens in a new tab). Since 19 January 2026 it requires clear, transparent, fair and readily accessible terms and bans three things: wagering above 10x the bonus, incentives that mix gambling products, and increasing a reward because the qualifying spend was reached in less time than the whole offer period.

For a weekly offer, that last rule means a casino can’t pay a larger reward to someone who hits a £100 stake target by Tuesday than to someone who reaches it on Sunday. Combined with the mixed-product ban, it also rules out weekly deals such as ‘bet £20 on football this week, get casino spins’.

Older consumer-law protections sit alongside the code. Following the CMA’s work on online gambling in 2018 and 2019, players must be able to withdraw their own deposit during bonus play, and the Commission’s guidance on the right to vary a promotion (opens in a new tab) says a casino must not change or withdraw a promotion for a customer who has opted in, except to prevent fraud or similar unlawful behaviour. Marketing and new bonuses must also stop for anyone showing strong indicators of harm. Our rules on bonus terms after January 2026 page lists every change in one place.

Set a weekly budget before a weekly bonus sets one for you

A weekly offer that asks for a £50 deposit every Friday is, in effect, proposing a £50 weekly budget. Decide your own figure first and let the offer fit inside it, not the other way round. UK operators have prompted new customers to set a financial limit before their first deposit since 31 October 2025, and the Commission’s deposit limit rules (opens in a new tab) require decreases to take effect immediately.

A weekly deposit limit lines up neatly with a weekly bonus cycle: if the limit is £40 and the offer needs £50, the offer simply isn’t for you that week. Our guide to setting deposit limits shows where the setting sits at each partner, and budgeting with a bonus covers the wider planning.

Who a weekly bonus suits, and who should skip it

If you play occasionally, a weekly bonus adds little: you will often deposit only to qualify. If you play regularly within a fixed budget, a well-structured weekly reload or cash-paid cashback can add a small amount of value. Our comparison of cashback and reload bonuses sets the two side by side, and the daily bonus page covers the shorter cycle.

How a weekly bonus compares with our partner offers

No partner publishes a standing weekly bonus, so the honest comparison is with their one-off welcome offers, all for adults aged 18 or over with terms applying. Coral Casino runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027: deposit (certain types excluded) and bet £10 or more on slots to receive 100 spins at 10p, which is £10 of spins on selected games, with 48 hours to accept, 7 days to use them and no wagering on spin winnings. Neteller, PayPal, Paysafe, Skrill, prepaid cards and certain debit cards don’t qualify.

Ladbrokes Casino gives new customers who deposit and spend £10 or more on slots 50 spins a day for 10 days, up to 500 spins or £50 at face value, at 10p each on selected games, claimed before 23:59 each day, valid 7 days and with no wagering. Prepaid cards, PayPal, Paysafe, Neteller, Skrill and Moneybookers deposits don’t qualify. Coral and Ladbrokes share an operator, LC International Limited, so check the terms on holding accounts at both.

PlayOJO offers new UK customers outside Northern Ireland 80 spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p (£8 of spins) on a first deposit of at least £10, with winnings paid in cash and no wagering. Its OJOplus feature then pays money back on every game played, which is the nearest partner equivalent to a recurring reward; see how OJOplus works. None of these offers changes the house edge on the games you play.
