Offer example
R25 sign-up bonus, no deposit required: the full amount must be turned over once at minimum odds of 5/10 (1.50 decimal).
The math
Full turnover = the full R25 staked at 1.50+. A winning R25 single at 1.50 returns R37.50 (R25 stake + R12.50 profit).
What it means
The R25 stays non-withdrawable until wagered in full at 1.50 or greater; lower odds and opposite bets on both markets of one event do not count.
