Been paying a bit more attention to the top-up promos lately because some of them look decent at first, then you read the fine print and it falls apart pretty quick. The ones I rate are usually the simple ones: small match, fair playthrough, pokies count properly, and no weird cap where you can only win bugger all from it. If I have to jump through five hoops just to use it, Im out.
A few things I always check now are the minimum deposit, how long youve got to clear it, whether the high RTP slots are excluded, and if the promo is only for certain players even though it lands in everyones inbox. Some sites also love doing that thing where the headline says 50% extra, then buried lower down its maxed at twenty bucks and only once between 2pm and 6pm on a Wednesday arvo. Not useless, just not as good as it sounds.
Cashback style promos have been a bit better for me than straight match offers, mainly because they feel less punishing if you have a rough run. Free spins reloads can be alright too, but only if the spin value isnt tiny and the winnings dont get smashed by another round of wagering. Keen to hear what other people reckon here what kind of repeat promo do you actually bother with now, and what stuff makes you bin it straight away?
