Deposit Bonus Guides: the Match Clauses
Four matches, one skeleton: the percentage sets the headline and the clauses set the price. Each decode runs the full receipt.
The terms board
Sorted by our editorial score — how clearly each operator publishes wagering, caps, expiry and payout behaviour, and how those rules behave once the arithmetic is run.
Every card carries a score out of 100 and the headline terms the operator publishes. Offers move often — the operator’s own page is always the current truth.

Cards appear in score order. Scores are editorial, terms change often, and nothing here is a recommendation to gamble. Read the operator’s own terms before you claim anything.
The match clause and what 'up to' does to it
A deposit match is the baseline contract of the bonus market: the operator adds a percentage to your deposit and attaches a turnover multiple, a contribution table, a max-bet line and a clock. Four decodes cover the range from the standard hundred per cent to the quadruple matches, and each reads the same skeleton with different numbers until the pattern is impossible to unsee.
The 'up to' clause deserves its own warning before the series starts. A three-hundred per cent match capped at fifty pounds behaves nothing like the banner suggests, and the per-pound conversion is the only honest way to compare it with a smaller match that carries a lighter schedule. The decodes therefore run per-pound receipts rather than percentage receipts.
Contribution tables are the second recurring character: slots commonly feed the multiple at full rate while table games and live rooms contribute a fraction, and the steep matches narrow the list further. A clearing plan built on the wrong contribution column fails on schedule, not on luck.

Comparing the four matches honestly
Read the baseline contract decoded slowly first - the baseline decode teaches the whole grammar - then take the higher percentages as the market offers them to you. The worked translations get steeper as the series climbs: the quadruple match decode runs a full feasibility check on its own clearing schedule, because at that multiple the clock is the real opponent.
The max-bet line appears in every decode because it is the clause that voids more bonuses than any other: one oversized spin during clearing and the operator's remedy clause wakes up. The decodes write the line into every receipt so it is priced before the first wager, not discovered after.
By the final guide the reader should be able to price any match per pound in about a minute - deposit, percentage, cap, multiple, contribution, clock - and decide from that receipt whether the banner deserved the click.
