Winamax Welcome Bonus: 70% of Your First Deposit in Five Rewards

What the offer is

The bonus is for new players making their very first deposit on Winamax and choosing the poker welcome offer. The minimum deposit is €5, and rewards grow with the deposit up to a €100 ceiling. The five rewards add up to 70% of the counted deposit, so €70 at most.

Most of that is poker value: replayable cash worth 45% of the deposit and Expresso tickets worth 15%. The remaining 10% is a separate sports betting part, which we leave out here.

These are the terms of the French site, licensed by the ANJ. The Spanish site, winamax.es, has its own welcome offer with different rules.

Five rewards, one per day

The first reward unlocks as soon as the deposit is validated and includes 10% in poker tickets. Day two brings 5% in tickets and 5% in cash, days three and four 10% in cash each, and day five 20% in cash.

A new reward appears every day at 6:00 CET. It only counts once you open the Winamax app and press the “Récupérer mon bonus” (claim my bonus) button. You have 10 days from the first deposit to collect all five; anything unclaimed is lost for good.

Tiers and rounding

Rewards are calculated on deposit tiers from €5, and a deposit between two tiers is rounded down: €35 counts as €20, €90 as €40. The offer table shows €5, €10, €20, €40 and €100.

The poker part: €10 brings €4.50 in cash and €1.50 in tickets, €20 brings €9 and €3, €40 brings €18 and €6, and €100 brings €45 and €15. So deposit exactly a tier amount: €99 counts as €40 and cuts the poker value from €60 to €24.

Terms and limits

Winamax advertises the rewards as free of wagering, and there is no rake target. The one condition is that replayable cash must be played, at poker or on sports, before it can be withdrawn; the terms set no multiplier.

The main trap: any withdrawal, even a partial one, made before all five rewards are collected cancels the rest at once.

The offer is valid once per person, device, household, bank card and bank account, and only for players who have never deposited on Winamax, even on a closed account. Terms can change, so check the room’s promotions page and the app before you deposit.

Compared with other rooms

Most large rooms match the deposit and release it through rake: GGPoker 100% up to $600 at $1 per $5 of rake within 90 days, PokerStars 100% up to $600 over four months, 888poker 100% up to $1,000, ACR 100% up to $2,000 within 60 days, CoinPoker 150% up to $2,000.

Winamax’s ceiling is far lower, €60 of poker value, but it is much easier to collect: no rake target, just five claims in ten days. A recreational player who would never generate the $3,000 in rake behind GGPoker’s full $600 can get more real value here.

Who it suits and practical tips

It suits newcomers with modest bankrolls, players in France curious about Expresso and anyone who prefers a simple bonus to a rake grind. High-volume regulars will find the cap small.

Deposit a tier amount, set a daily reminder and don’t withdraw before the fifth reward. Expresso is a lottery-style hyper-turbo, so most tickets end in a small prize or nothing.

Treat the bonus as a modest top-up, not a reason to play more. Deposit only what you can afford to lose and use your account’s deposit limits. A welcome offer won’t change the long-run results of your game.
