Good question, been wondering this myself. The bit that catches most people out is when it comes to Gala Bingo and 40 Burning Hot.
Sticky bonuses where you cannot withdraw the bonus amount itself are generally worse than cash bonuses even with a lower headline figure.
RTP is the return to player percentage over millions of spins. In any individual session it means almost nothing.
EV check on Gala Bingo welcome bonus: With 30x wagering on a £100 bonus, you need to stake £3000. At a 4% house edge that costs £20 to complete. Expected value: £20. Negative EV — treat as entertainment cost, not profit opportunity.
Key stats: Gala Bingo — founded 1991, 160 games, withdrawals typically within 3 hours. 40 Burning Hot — Spinomenal, 96.18% RTP, medium variance.
If a casino is asking for documents before you can withdraw that is standard KYC not a scam. Upload them early to avoid delays.
