question Those midweek top-up deals... anyone else pickier with them now?

I used to jump on pretty much every reload offer that hit my email, no joke. These days I'm way more fussy with them. A lot of them look alright at first glance, then you open it up and it's like sweet, 25% extra... capped at bugger all, crazy playthrough, expires by tomorrow arvo, half the games excluded. Kinda kills it.

The better ones, for me anyway, are the simple ones. Small match, fair rollover, no weird max cashout trap, and you can use it on the slots you actually play. If they chuck in a few spins as well, ripper. If it's one of those promos where you need to deposit a very specific amount and then hunt through terms for 10 minutes, I can't be stuffed.

Lately I've been checking whether these promos are even worth taking compared to just playing straight cash, and heaps of the time I'm not convinced. Especially when the wagering is up around silly levels. Feels like some sites are banking on people seeing the shiny headline and not reading the rest.

What do you lot reckon makes a reload worth grabbing? Low rollover, longer expiry, decent game weighting, no max win cap... what do you actually care about first? Keen to hear which promos you've found genuinely decent lately and which ones were a bloody letdown.

I sorta disagree with that bit. I've had better runs with ugly-looking promos that at least count properly on the slots I play, than the neat little 'simple' ones that quietly block half the lobby. First thing I check is game restrictions, not rollover.

my little tip is screenshot the offer page before you deposit. Sounds dumb but it helps when the code disappears or support suddenly says you read the wrong version. Saved me a headache once.

Big one for me is whether the promo balance sits in front of your real money. That's the trap. If you jag a nice hit early and can't pull your own cash back out without clearing the whole thing first, I won't touch it now, even if the rest looks alright.
