Kong Casino currently runs a set of offers for different players: 50% Bonus up to £100 for new players, Weekly Cashback for existing players, and Daily Wheel, also for existing players. The key terms of each offer are shown above, so you can compare them before you claim anything. T&Cs apply.
If you are new, the welcome offer is the one that matters most. It is a deposit match, which means the bonus is paid on top of the money you put in yourself, up to £100. The wagering requirement is 10x Bonus wagering and the minimum deposit is £10. T&Cs apply.
Existing players will see the cashback and the Daily Wheel instead. Cashback returns a share of your play rather than matching a deposit, which is why its wagering works differently. If you have no account yet, start with the sign up page. When you are ready to put money in, the deposits page explains the options. T&Cs apply.
How the welcome offer works in practice
The wagering requirement, shown as 10x Bonus wagering in the terms, is the part that matters most. In general terms, it means the bonus amount has to be played through a set number of times in bets before any winnings from it can be withdrawn. The deposit you make is your own money, but the bonus carries the extra condition, so the two should not be judged in the same way.
Which games count is the next question. Check the full terms before you deposit to see which games contribute to the wagering. In many casinos, games contribute at different rates, so a game that counts only partly takes longer to clear the requirement. A game that counts fully towards the wagering will get you there faster than one that counts for less.
The bonus is capped at £100. Once you reach that cap, a larger deposit does not add to the bonus, so the match stops growing. It is worth deciding on your deposit amount with that cap in mind rather than assuming a bigger deposit always gives a bigger return.
Compared with the other offers, the welcome offer is the only one that works as a percentage match on a deposit, with a minimum deposit and a cap. The Weekly Cashback is a different kind of offer. Its wagering is No wagering, so the condition that makes the welcome offer harder to use does not apply to it in the same way. You can read more on the cashback page. T&Cs apply.
The Daily Wheel is also different. It is listed for existing players, and its conditions are set out in the full terms rather than in the summary above. Read them before you rely on it, and do not treat it as a substitute for the welcome offer if you are a new player.

What can cost you the bonus
The most common mistake is claiming an offer without reading the conditions that apply to it. The key terms are shown above, but the full detail, including the rules on games, time limits and how the wagering is counted, sits in the terms and conditions. Read them before you deposit, not after.
Check the minimum deposit before you pay. The welcome offer needs a minimum deposit of £10, so a smaller payment does not meet that condition. This is a simple check, but it is easy to miss when you are in a hurry to start.
Keep the cap in mind as well. The welcome bonus is capped at £100, so decide on your deposit amount with that figure in view rather than assuming a larger deposit always brings a larger bonus. T&Cs apply.
Wagering is the other trap. The requirement applies to the bonus amount, and the time it takes to meet it is part of what the offer costs you. Do not play beyond your budget to meet it. If the wagering is not finished when you want to withdraw, the bonus conditions still apply.
For the cashback and the Daily Wheel, check the full terms for any minimum deposit and time limit before you rely on them. Their offer cards do not show those details, so it is easy to assume a condition is absent when it is simply not in the summary. Confirm it in the terms.
Is it worth taking?
The welcome offer suits a new player who has already decided on a deposit amount and understands that the bonus carries wagering. It is easier to judge once you know the cap and the minimum deposit, and once you have read the full terms and checked which games count.
It is a poor fit if you want to withdraw quickly, or if the games you enjoy may not count fully towards the wagering. In that case, a plain deposit with no bonus attached may suit you better, because you avoid the conditions altogether.
The cashback suits existing players who want a return on their own play without a wagering condition attached. Its value depends entirely on how much you play, so judge it by the return it gives you rather than by the headline. The Daily Wheel suits existing players who are happy to read its full terms first, since its conditions are the least visible of the three.
Any deposit is your own money, so only put in an amount you can afford to lose. If you want to set limits or take a break, the safer gambling page explains the options. None of these offers guarantees a return, and the conditions are there to be read before you start.
