Promotions at Ivy, Explained Properly
Beyond the welcome package: how our reloads, free spins and seasonal campaigns actually work, week to week.
How Our Promotions Work
Last updated: November 1, 2026
The welcome package gets new players through the door. What keeps an account active week after week is the running promotions calendar, and we think it deserves a proper explanation rather than a banner you scroll past.
Every operator runs promotions. Not every operator tells you how they're structured, when they refresh, or what the catch is before you opt in. This page sets out the recurring promotion types you'll see on your Ivy account once the welcome offer is behind you: reload bonuses, free spins drops, and seasonal campaigns tied to the UK calendar. Each one carries its own terms, and we've written those out plainly rather than burying them in a single terms page.
Reload Bonuses
A reload bonus matches a portion of a deposit made after your first one, usually on a set day of the week or in response to a specific account trigger. Reloads at Ivy are typically smaller in percentage than the welcome match, because they're designed to top up an active balance rather than convert a new sign-up. They appear in the account dashboard or by email, and they're time-limited: once the window closes, the offer is gone, whether or not you've deposited.
- Reload percentage and maximum bonus amount in GBP are shown before you opt in, never after
- Minimum deposit thresholds apply and are stated on the offer itself
- Wagering requirements on reload funds are separate from welcome package wagering and do not carry over
- Reload bonuses can usually be declined at the deposit screen if you'd rather play with cash funds only
- Game weighting for wagering purposes follows the same structure as other bonus funds. Check eligible titles before you rely on a specific slot or table
Free Spins Drops
Free spins are usually tied to a specific slot title, often a new release from Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming or Nolimit City in the first weeks after launch. Drops can be account-wide or targeted to players who've shown interest in a particular game family, which is why not every player sees the same offer on the same day. Spin value is fixed in pence per spin and stated upfront. It is not adjustable, and it doesn't carry over if the game is removed from the lobby before you use them.
Winnings from free spins are typically credited as bonus funds subject to wagering, not as withdrawable cash outright. That detail catches people out more than any other part of a promotion, so we flag it here directly: read the spins offer's own wagering line before you play through it, because it can differ from a reload or welcome offer running at the same time.
- Spins are credited to a named game or game family, shown on the offer
- Spin value in GBP (or pence) is fixed and stated before you accept
- Winnings convert to bonus funds subject to wagering unless the offer states otherwise
- Unused spins expire, usually within a stated number of days from credit
- Spins-only offers carry a lower wagering requirement than cash-match reloads in most cases, but always confirm on the active offer
Seasonal Campaigns
We run campaigns tied to the UK calendar: Christmas and Boxing Day, New Year, the Cheltenham Festival and Grand National weekends, summer tournaments, and Black Friday style deposit events in November. These tend to combine a leaderboard or prize draw element with a straightforward deposit bonus, and they're the closest thing we run to a limited-edition offer. They don't repeat on a fixed schedule year to year in the same form, so the terms live entirely on the campaign page while it's active, not in the general terms.
Leaderboard campaigns rank players by wagered amount or net wins on eligible games over a set window, with prizes paid as bonus funds, free spins, or occasionally cash, depending on what the specific campaign states. If you're chasing a leaderboard position, check the eligible game list first. Live dealer tables and certain high RTP slots are sometimes excluded or weighted down to keep the competition fair across play styles.
| Promotion type | Typical trigger | Main thing to check |
|---|---|---|
| Reload bonus | Deposit on a set day or in response to an account trigger | Minimum deposit and wagering requirement |
| Free spins drop | New slot release or targeted account activity | Spin value and winnings wagering status |
| Seasonal campaign | UK calendar event: Christmas, Cheltenham, Grand National, Black Friday | Eligible games and campaign end date |
Opting In and Staying Eligible
Most promotions require an active opt-in, either through the promotions tab in your account or a one-tap link in the email or notification you receive. Running two conflicting bonus offers on the same balance usually isn't possible: accepting a new offer while a previous one is still active may forfeit the first, so read the prompt before you confirm. Account verification status can also affect eligibility for larger promotions, so keeping your details current avoids a delay when a bonus is due to be credited or a win is due to be withdrawn.
None of this is designed to make gambling a way to generate income, and no promotion on this page guarantees a win. These are marketing offers with real terms attached, the same as any retail cashback or loyalty scheme, and they should be treated as a bonus to your play rather than a reason to deposit beyond what you'd planned.

How Our Promotions Work
Can I run a reload bonus and a free spins offer at the same time?
Usually not on the same deposit. Accepting a new offer while another is active can forfeit the first, so check the opt-in prompt before confirming. Contact [email protected] if you want to confirm what's currently active on your account.
Do free spins winnings pay out as cash immediately?
Typically no. Free spins winnings are usually credited as bonus funds subject to wagering, not as withdrawable cash straight away. The specific offer states its own wagering requirement, which can differ from a concurrent reload or welcome bonus.
How do I find out about seasonal campaigns like the Grand National offer?
Active campaigns appear on the promotions tab in your account and are usually sent by email or push notification if you've opted into marketing communications. Terms for each campaign are published on the campaign page while it runs.
Does my account need to be verified to claim a promotion?
Verification status can affect eligibility for larger bonuses and for crediting of winnings. Keeping your account details current avoids delays when a promotion is credited or when you come to withdraw.
Where can I see the wagering requirement before I opt in?
Every reload, spins drop and seasonal offer displays its wagering requirement, minimum deposit and expiry on the offer itself before you accept it. General wagering structure for the welcome package is on the [Bonus](/bonus/) page.
