The Slotlords Lord Reload Explained
A Monday deposit match in three bands, with the code LORD1: 25% up to €400 from €20, 50% up to €500 from €100, and 100% up to €1,000 from €500.
Wagering is 40 times, with 3 days to activate and 7 days to clear.
Read Your Own Percentage, Not the Cap Beside It
Two of the three bands advertise a maximum their own band cannot produce, and this is the single most useful thing to understand about the offer.
The €20 to €99 band pays 25% against a published cap of €400. At the very top of that band the bonus is €24.75. The €100 to €499 band pays 50% against a €500 cap, and its top produces €249.50. Only the €500 and above band, at 100% with a €1,000 cap, can reach its own figure, and it takes a €1,000 deposit to do it.
There is nothing underhand in that. A single set of maximum figures has been applied across all three tiers, which is how most banded reloads are drafted. It just means the number that describes your bonus is your deposit times your percentage, and the cap only enters the picture in the top band.
The Top Band Is Where the Offer Becomes Good
At 25% the match is modest. At 100% on €500 or more it is the same rate as the best step of the welcome pack, on a weekly rather than one off basis.
That jump is unusually steep. Doubling a deposit from €250 to €500 takes the bonus from €125 to €500, because the rate doubles at the same moment the deposit does. If you were going to deposit somewhere near the threshold anyway, the band boundary is the thing to pay attention to rather than the cap.
Reload offers across the site is where to see which other sites band their rates this way, and which pay a flat percentage instead.
Seven Days Is the Part That Bites
The clocks on this one are tighter than on the welcome pack. The bonus has to be activated within 3 days of being credited, and the wagering has to be finished within 7 days rather than thirty.
Forty times inside a week is a different proposition from forty times inside a month, especially with slots at 100% and everything else at 5%. A top band €1,000 bonus means €40,000 of slot betting in seven days.
The exit is the usual five times the bonus. What happens if the clock runs out before the requirement does is the thing to read before taking the top band, and how much of a bonus balance can ever become yours explains the cap.
