Claiming your bonus without the runaround
Getting your tower x bonus activated shouldn't feel like filing taxes. Ontario's iGO-licensed sites have streamlined the process, but there are still steps where players mess up. Most headaches come from misunderstanding deposit methods, promo code entry, or verification timing.
First things first: before you can claim any tower x bonus, your account needs full verification. That means submitting government ID, proof of address (a utility bill works), and sometimes a bank statement if you're using Interac. This KYC process usually wraps up in 24–48 hours, though during busy periods—like March Madness or Grey Cup weekend—it can stretch to three business days. Upload clear photos and you'll speed things up.
Once verified, head to the cashier and pick your deposit method. Interac e-Transfer is the Canadian favourite for good reason: it's fast, secure, and connects directly to your bank. Visa and Mastercard work too, though some banks still block gambling transactions (looking at you, RBC). Enter your deposit amount, making sure it meets the minimum—usually C$20. The promo code field appears right before you confirm the transaction. Triple-check your spelling; codes are case-sensitive.
- Complete KYC verification with ID and proof of address
- Choose Interac e-Transfer for fastest processing
- Enter promo code exactly as shown (case-sensitive)
- Confirm deposit and wait for instant bonus credit
- Track wagering progress in your account dashboard
Wagering requirements trip up more players than offside calls in a minor hockey game. You need to bet the bonus amount multiplied by the playthrough—so a C$100 bonus at 35x means C$3,500 in total wagers. Only settled bets count, and most sites cap your bet at C$5 per round during playthrough. Try to place larger bets and your tower x bonus gets voided. The system tracks everything automatically, so don't think you can sneak one by.
- Bet max of C$5 per round during wagering
- Only settled wagers contribute to requirements
- Game weighting varies—slots usually 100%, table games less
- 14-day expiry per bonus chunk is standard
One last thing: withdrawing early forfeits the tower x bonus and any winnings. The cashier will warn you, but some players click through anyway. Most folks complete wagering by mixing conservative x2–x5 cashouts with occasional moonshot attempts. Remember, gambling is for entertainment only. Must be 19+ in Ontario.
