When Is the Signing Bonus Paid on YesPlay?

If you’ve just signed up for YesPlay, the first thing on your mind is probably the signing bonus. You want to know when the money will show up in your account and what you need to do to unlock it. The short answer is: the bonus arrives after you meet a few simple steps – usually a verified deposit and one qualifying bet. Below we break down the timeline, common pitfalls, and fast‑track tips.

Typical payment schedule

1. Account creation – As soon as you finish the registration form, you’re officially a YesPlay user, but the bonus is still on hold.

2. First deposit – Make a deposit that meets the minimum amount set for the welcome offer. Most promotions require a deposit of R100 or more. The system records the deposit instantly, but the bonus won’t appear yet.

3. Verification – YesPlay will check your identity and payment method. If you’ve already uploaded your FICA documents and they’re approved, the verification step finishes within a few minutes to an hour. If verification is pending, the bonus stays pending.

4. Qualifying bet – Place a bet that satisfies the wagering condition. Usually the condition is a 1x rollover, meaning you must wager the bonus amount once. For a R50 bonus, a single R50 bet that settles as a win or loss clears the bonus.

5. Bonus credit – After the qualifying bet settles, the bonus amount is added to your balance automatically. You’ll see it in the “Bonuses” section of your account and can start using it right away.

What can delay your bonus?

Unverified documents – If your FICA documents are missing or have errors, verification can take up to 48 hours. During that window the bonus won’t be released.

Deposit below the minimum – Some users think any amount will do. If you deposit less than the required threshold, the system won’t flag the deposit as bonus‑eligible, so the bonus stays pending.

Betting on excluded markets – Certain promotions exclude specific game types (like live casino or special promotions). If you place your qualifying bet on an excluded market, the bonus won’t unlock.

Technical glitches – Rarely, the platform may experience a delay in updating the bonus status. In that case, contacting support with your deposit receipt speeds things up.

**Quick tip:** After you finish the deposit, go to the “Bonus” page and click “Claim” if a button appears. Some promotions require a manual claim before the qualifying bet.

In most cases, you’ll see the signing bonus within 15‑30 minutes after your first bet settles, provided all verification steps are clear. Keep an eye on your email – YesPlay often sends a confirmation when the bonus is credited.

So, to get the bonus fast: verify your documents right after signup, deposit the required amount, and place a qualifying bet on an allowed market. Follow these steps and the signing bonus will be in your pocket before you know it.
