A locked-deposit bonus is an arrangement in which some or all of the money deposited to activate a promotion cannot be withdrawn while the bonus conditions remain active. The deposit still belongs to the account, but the operator treats it as restricted cash until the required playthrough or release condition is satisfied. This is different from a normal deposit that is not tied to an active promotion.
The exact treatment varies by operator. Jet Casino’s current terms, for example, describe cash from a qualifying deposit as “locked” while a cumulative deposit bonus is active and specify the order in which locked cash and bonus funds are used. Caesars’ current casino promotion terms likewise distinguish cash tied to a bonus from unrestricted cash and explain that cancelling or withdrawing before completion can forfeit promotional balances.
“Locked deposit” is therefore a funding restriction, not a single universal bonus formula. The key point is whether the player can withdraw the deposited cash before the promotion is completed, and what happens to the deposit, bonus and any related winnings if the offer is cancelled early.
