iLOTBet Reload Bonus
A reload bonus is a deposit bonus for players who already have an account. Where the welcome offer is a one-off, reloads come back — on a set weekday, once a month, or as targeted offers after a quiet spell. They are usually smaller than the welcome match and often fairer, because operators use them to keep regular players rather than to win new ones. Which reloads your iLOTBet account receives, and on what terms, is decided by the operator; the promotions page after login shows the live version.

Mechanically a reload is the same thing as a welcome match: a percentage of a deposit is added as bonus money, up to a ceiling, with a wagering requirement attached. The differences are in rhythm and scale. Reloads tend to have a lower percentage, a lower ceiling and sometimes a lighter playthrough. They can also be personal — two accounts may see different reload offers in the same week depending on their activity — so a reload described in a forum post may simply not exist for you.
Weekly reload, weekly bonus and monthly bonus
The most common pattern is the weekly reload: a match that is available on one or two named days and can be claimed once per period. A weekly bonus may also take the form of free spins or a small cashback rather than a match. A monthly bonus is rarer and usually larger, sometimes tied to how much you played in the previous month. The calendar matters because each claim restarts the clock on a new wagering requirement — two overlapping reloads can leave you with more playthrough than you can realistically finish.
The second deposit bonus
Many welcome packages extend into a second deposit bonus, and sometimes a third and fourth. These look like reloads but belong to the welcome offer: they usually have to be claimed within a set number of days after registration and in the right order. If you skip the second deposit window, the later stages may disappear. Read the welcome package terms as one document rather than stage by stage — our welcome bonus guide covers how those packages are structured.
Min deposit and the Kenyan excise detail
Every reload has a min deposit, the smallest payment that triggers it. For players paying by phone, one detail matters: since 1 July 2025 a 5% excise duty applies to amounts credited to a betting or gaming wallet in Kenya, collected by the operator. If the operator deducts it from the credited amount, a transfer that looks safely above the qualifying minimum on your M-Pesa or Airtel Money screen can arrive just below it. As a hypothetical example, if a reload required KSh 500, sending exactly KSh 500 might credit KSh 475. When the minimum is tight, ask support how it is measured, or send a little more. Our M-Pesa and Airtel Money pages describe what to look for in the cashier.
Reload terms checklist
| Clause | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Days and frequency | A reload claimed on the wrong day simply does not trigger. |
| Opt-in or code | Many reloads need activation before the deposit, not after. |
| Ceiling | Depositing above it adds no extra bonus, only extra risk. |
| Wagering basis | Bonus only, or deposit plus bonus — the second can double the playthrough. |
| Excluded methods | Some offers name payment channels that do not qualify. |
| Overlap with other offers | Usually only one active bonus at a time; a new one may cancel the old. |
When a reload is not worth activating
A reload adds value only if you were going to deposit anyway and can finish the playthrough at your normal stake. If it nudges you to deposit more than planned, or to deposit on a day you would otherwise have stayed away, the bonus has started to work against you. The same applies if you mainly play jackpots, draws or live tables that contribute little to wagering. Setting a weekly deposit limit in your account first, then deciding about reloads, keeps the order of decisions right — licensed operators in Kenya must offer deposit limits by day, week or month.
Match deposit offers on a schedule
Seen from a distance, reload terms are a schedule of match deposit offers with conditions attached. The match percentage and ceiling tell you the size; the wagering basis, game contribution and time limit tell you the cost. When comparing two reloads, convert both into the total amount you would have to stake: a modest match with a light requirement often beats a generous one that needs three times the turnover. If you are not sure how to do that calculation, our wagering requirements guide walks through it with examples, and the bonus terms page lists the general rules that sit behind every reload.
