Difference between bonus bets and bonus cash

If you are betting at the Ladbrokes group (Ladbrokes, Neds, BetStar, & Bookmaker) you may notice that sometimes you receive bonus bets and other times they give you bonus cash. These are very similar, but there is one main difference.

If you have a bonus bet on your account, you must use the entirety of the bonus when placing your bet. For example, if i have a $25 bonus bet to use, the back stake of my bet must be $25.

There may be an option to split my bonus bet into smaller amounts, e.g. two $12.50 bonuses, but i always have to bet the full amount shown on the BB.

Bonus Cash, on the other hand, can be split into any amount that you like. If i have $100 of bonus cash and i want to place a $30 bet, that is fine. After placing the $30 bet i will have $70 bonus cash left. I can then place another bet for $20, or $40, or whatever amount i like, until the bonus cash balance reaches zero.

In all other regards, bonus bets and bonus cash are the same. That means that they are both Stake Not Returned (SNR).
