FairPlay Refill Bonus — the offer for deposits after your first
Smaller than the joining bonus, and it isn't there every time you add funds — it runs on selected days, shown on the deposit screen when it's active. Here's how it's different, and how to tell whether a given deposit qualifies.

Side by Side
Joining bonus vs refill bonus
Same underlying mechanism — a deposit match — applied at two different moments.
| Joining Bonus | Refill Bonus | |
|---|---|---|
| When it applies | Your first deposit only | Any later deposit, on the days it's running |
| Typical match size | The largest percentage on the account | Smaller — a recurring gesture, not a one-time acquisition cost |
| How often | Once per account, ever | Repeatable, on qualifying days |
| Wagering | Applies, full breakdown on /bonuses/ | Applies, same structure as the joining bonus |
Why this gets confused with the joining bonus
Both are deposit-match offers, both go through the same opt-in step on the deposit screen, and both carry a wagering requirement in the same shape. The confusion is understandable — the mechanism looks identical from the outside. What actually separates them is timing and repeatability: one account only ever gets a joining bonus once, and the refill bonus is what replaces it as the relevant offer on every deposit after that.

Why it only runs on selected days
Running a deposit match on every single recharge, indefinitely, would make it a permanent discount rather than a promotion — structurally closer to just lowering the effective house edge across the board. Restricting it to selected days keeps it working as an occasional incentive rather than a standing cost, which is also why the specific days it runs are set on the account rather than published as a fixed weekly pattern here.
What to actually check before your second deposit
Three things, all on the deposit screen at the moment of paying in: whether a refill offer is showing at all today, what the match rate is if one is, and what wagering multiple is attached to it. None of that carries over from your first deposit — the joining bonus terms you read then don't apply here, and assuming they do is the most common way people misjudge what a refill deposit actually earns them.
How it interacts with cashback
A refill bonus and weekly cashback are separate offers that can both be live at once — one rewards a specific deposit, the other rewards net play over a week regardless of when you deposited. They aren't mutually exclusive, but they also aren't additive in a way worth assuming without checking; each is opted into and tracked separately on the account.

The mistake worth avoiding: treating every deposit the same
It's easy to assume that because the joining bonus was generous, every later deposit carries something similar. That assumption costs nothing to hold and nothing to check — the deposit screen shows exactly what's live before you confirm payment, every single time, which means there's no scenario where checking first makes a deposit worse than not checking.
The reverse mistake is just as common: assuming no refill offer is running because none was live last time you checked, and skipping the deposit screen's promotions section entirely on a later deposit. Since it changes by day, the only reliable habit is checking every time, not remembering last time's answer.
Why this page exists separately at all
Enough people search for a recharge or refill offer specifically, distinct from a joining bonus, that the two deserved separate, clearly labelled explanations rather than one page trying to cover both moments at once.
What to check if a refill offer seems too good
A recharge offer with an unusually large match rate, arriving by message rather than showing on the deposit screen itself, is worth treating the same way any unverified figure is treated on this site — confirm it on the account before trusting it, not from wherever it was mentioned.
Why "recharge" and "reload" mean the same thing here
Different words for the identical action — adding funds to an account that already has a deposit history. Whichever term comes up in conversation or in search, it points at the same deposit screen and the same promotion, distinct from the joining bonus only in that it applies to a deposit that isn't your first. If you're comparing what this looks like on other platforms, the same terminology split — a bigger one-time signup offer, a smaller recurring recharge offer — holds across the category generally, not just here.
How this fits with the rest of your account
A refill bonus doesn't change anything about withdrawals, verification, or how your withdrawal is processed once wagering clears — it's purely an addition to a specific deposit's balance, opted into the same way at every recharge. Nothing about taking or skipping it affects your FairPlay ID or account status.
Where the wagering actually gets used
A refill bonus's bonus funds clear the same way a joining bonus's do — through ordinary betting on cricket, casino tables, or whatever you would already be playing. There's no special category of bet that clears a refill bonus faster than a joining bonus; the contribution rates published with the offer are what determine that, not which type of deposit-match offer it came from.
Blackjack and baccarat, both low house-edge games, typically contribute at a reduced rate for the same reason described on the bonuses page — a low-edge game would let a wagering requirement clear at close to no real cost, which would make the whole mechanism close to meaningless.
FAQ
Refill bonus questions
How it differs from the joining bonus, and what to check before your next deposit.
Does the refill bonus work the same on the app as on the mobile site?
Yes — the deposit flow and the promotions shown on it are identical whether you're on the app or the mobile site. The app mainly changes loading speed on a weak connection, not which offers you're eligible for.
Can I combine a refill bonus with the accumulator boost?
They're unrelated mechanisms that can both be relevant in the same week — a refill bonus applies to a deposit, an accumulator boost applies to a winning multi-leg sports bet. Taking one has no bearing on eligibility for the other, since neither is triggered by the same action.
If I skip a refill offer once, do I lose access to future ones?
No — declining or missing a refill offer on one deposit has no effect on whether it's offered again on a later one. Each deposit is evaluated independently against whatever promotion is currently running.
Is the refill bonus the same thing as the joining bonus?
No — related mechanism, different moment. The joining bonus is a one-time offer on your first-ever deposit. The refill bonus is what's available on deposits after that, at a lower match rate, and only on the specific days it's running rather than every time you add funds.
Why is the refill bonus smaller than the joining bonus?
The joining bonus is a one-time cost to acquire a genuinely new account; the refill bonus is a recurring cost on a player who is already active. A platform running the same large percentage on every deposit forever would be a different, much more expensive kind of offer — the smaller recurring rate is what makes it sustainable to repeat.
How do I know which days the refill bonus is running?
It's shown on the deposit screen itself when it's active, the same place the joining bonus terms are shown. There's no separate calendar to check outside the account — if it isn't showing on a given day, it isn't running that day.
Does the refill bonus have the same wagering requirement as the joining bonus?
The structure is the same — bonus funds are held separately until a wagering multiple is cleared, worked out the same way described on the bonuses page. The specific multiple attached to a refill offer can differ from the joining bonus, which is exactly why it's worth reading the terms on the deposit screen each time rather than assuming they match.
