Rank welcome credits at a fixed deposit: a worked example

Use a fixed deposit to rank three hypothetical welcome credits, then see why caps, wagering bases and contribution can change the decision.

The short answer

Fix the deposit before comparing credited amounts. A larger maximum cap can produce a smaller actual credit at that deposit, and a credit ranking still does not rank profit or overall offer value.

Your checklist

  1. Use the same deposit and currency for every case
  2. Calculate the credit before applying wagering conditions
  3. Label fictional offers and keep value claims separate from arithmetic

Define the ranking before calculating

The universe here is three fictional deposit-match offers, not real operator promotions. The metric is nominal bonus credit from a fixed 80-unit deposit in one currency. Order is descending by that credit, with equal credits tied. The method deliberately excludes earned-reward programmes because their caps do not establish immediate matching credit. No expected profit or overall quality score is calculated.

Three offers, one deposit

  • Offer A: 100% match capped at 50. Credit is the smaller of 80 and 50, therefore 50.
  • Offer B: 50% match capped at 200. Credit is the smaller of 40 and 200, therefore 40.
  • Offer C: 75% match capped at 100. Credit is the smaller of 60 and 100, therefore 60.

The credit-only order is C, A, B. Sorting the headline caps would instead put B first and A last, which answers a different question. All figures are invented teaching examples and are not attributed to the brands in the contextual cards.

A second calculation changes the context

Suppose C hypothetically requires 30 times deposit plus bonus: 30 × (80 + 60) = 4,200 qualifying units. Suppose A requires 20 times the bonus only: 20 × 50 = 1,000. The larger credit also carries a different nominal obligation in this example. Contribution, maximum stake, expiry and conversion caps remain additional inputs. Neither number predicts the money needed to complete play or the likely outcome.

Use the method on a real offer

Keep the deposit fixed, obtain the selected promotion’s actual percentage and cap, and calculate only what the source supports. If the reward is earned over time rather than matched at deposit, use a different comparison instead of substituting the programme ceiling. Shuffle and Cloudbet’s published structures illustrate that distinction. Do not increase the deposit to force a preferred ranking result.

The A, B and C offers above are fictional. These cards link to real programmes with different reward structures; the example figures do not describe them.
