Bonus Buy Feature: What You Need to Know
Bonus Buy lets you pay a set price to trigger a slot’s bonus round or free spins instead of waiting for it to hit naturally. The cost is usually shown as a multiple of your bet — for example, a “Buy Bonus” might cost 100x your base bet for immediate access to the game’s free spins or jackpot feature. It’s a fast way to get to the most lucrative part of a slot, but it changes the math of your session and raises volatility.
Why Players Choose Bonus Buy — Time, Targeting, and Big-Payout Potential
There are three main reasons players use Bonus Buy:
- Speed: you don’t have to grind through dozens of spins to reach a bonus round.
- Precision: you can target the slot’s feature directly if that’s where the biggest wins happen.
- Short sessions with higher payout potential: feature rounds often deliver bigger payouts, so buying in can fit a focused play strategy.
Keep in mind: bonus rounds usually carry higher variance. That means you can win big, or you can burn through buy costs quickly. Translated to player benefits: if you prefer quick, feature-driven sessions and accept swings in your bankroll, Bonus Buy can be useful.
The Risks — Bankroll, RTP Impact, and No Guarantees
Buying a bonus does not change the fact that slots are games of chance, and it doesn’t guarantee a profit. Practical risks to watch:
- Cost vs. expected value: the buy price can make the effective session RTP lower than the base game over the long run; always check the game’s rules or RTP info.
- Bankroll pressure: frequent buys can drain funds fast. Set limits on how many buys you’ll attempt in a session.
- Bonus compatibility: some casino promotions restrict buying features while playing with bonus funds. On EveryGame, bonus rules include strict wagering and wagering-contribution policies, and wager limits apply when a bonus is active.
Never treat Bonus Buy as a shortcut to guaranteed wins. It’s a higher-variance option that needs clear limits.
How Bonus Buys Work with EveryGame Promotions and Rules
EveryGame’s promotional structure and rules affect how useful Bonus Buy will be for you:
- Welcome offers: EveryGame’s Casino Red welcome package includes multiple deposit match bonuses — first deposit 125% up to $1,000 (code SIGNUP1000), second deposit 150% up to $1,500 (MATCHUP2), third deposit 125% up to $1,000 (MATCHUP3), and fourth deposit 150% up to $2,000 (MATCHUP4). Each requires a code and carries a 30x wagering requirement for bonuses over 100% of the deposit.
- Classic option: The Casino Classic match (code SIGNUP100) is 100% up to $100, with a 20x wagering requirement and a $20 minimum deposit.
- No-deposit detail: The extra no-deposit bonus (code FREEBIE55) is $55, has a 40x wagering requirement, and a $200 maximum cashout; it’s available after claiming the first four deposit bonuses.
- Wagering and betting limits: EveryGame’s policy notes that all wagers generally qualify 100% toward wagering requirements, but a maximum single wager of $2.00 per payline on slots and $10.00 on any game applies when bonus funds are active. Exceeding those limits can void winnings.
- Claiming codes: enter coupon codes before depositing; if you forget, contact EveryGame support via live chat or email at bet@everygame.eu promptly.
If you plan to use Bonus Buy while holding a promotional balance, double-check the specific promotion’s terms before placing buys. Some offers may limit the ability to use buy features, or may treat buy-triggered wins differently.
Practical Rules of Thumb Before You Buy
If you’re considering Bonus Buy, use a disciplined approach:
- Test in demo first: try the slot’s free demo to understand buy cost and feature behavior.
- Cap spend per buy: consider limiting any single buy to a small percentage of your session bankroll — many players use 1–5% as a guideline.
- Set a session buy cap: decide in advance how many buys you’ll allow in a session to avoid tilt-driven losses.
- Check the buy price and effective multiplier: if the buy is 100x your bet, a single buy at higher stakes is a big commitment.
- Read the game rules and RTP statement: some games publish the effective RTP with a buy option; use that to compare value.
These practices help balance the upside of quick features with the downside of bigger swings.
Where Bonus Buys Appear — Games and Software to Watch
Bonus Buy is more common in modern video slots, especially titles with prominent feature rounds or respin mechanics. If you like feature-heavy themes, look at Wager Gaming Technology titles such as Pyramid Treasures, which includes a “Cleopatra’s Pyramid Bonus Round” — see our full review for gameplay details. Software providers vary in how they price and present buy options, so compare offers across games.
Responsible Play, Legality, and Account Tools
Before using Bonus Buy, confirm that your state allows the feature and that your account is in good standing. EveryGame supports a wide range of payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and several e-wallets, and offers live chat and email support. Remember:
- Set deposit limits and self-exclusion tools if needed.
- Check local laws and the casino’s terms and conditions.
- Monitor wagering requirements and the $200 cap on no-deposit cashouts.
Terms and conditions apply to all promotions and bonus mechanics. If anything is unclear, contact EveryGame support for clarification before playing.
Making an informed choice about Bonus Buy comes down to strategy, bankroll control, and reading the fine print. Used selectively, it can accelerate access to features that make sessions exciting; used recklessly, it can turn a short session into a costly one. Keep limits, check the rules, and play with a plan.
