What is a deposit match bonus?
A deposit match bonus gives you extra bonus funds calculated as a percentage of the amount you deposit. A "200% match up to $1,000" means the casino adds twice your deposit in bonus money, up to a $1,000 cap — so a $500 deposit becomes $1,500 to play with.
It is the most common welcome bonus. The two numbers that matter are the match percentage (how much extra you get) and the cap (the most bonus you can receive). Crypto casinos often split a large match across your first few deposits (e.g. a four-part welcome package).
The headline match is only as good as its terms: a 200% bonus with 40x wagering and a low max bet can be far worse value than a 100% bonus with 25x. Always weigh the match against the wagering requirement and game weighting.
