HOW DOES BONUS BOSS VERIFY MY IDENTITY?
Bonus Boss Casino maintains a strict no underage gambling policy. All Bonus Boss players must verify their age, identity and address before they are able to play our games. We will automatically attempt to confirm a new player’s details electronically upon registration, for example via a third party identity check. If this is unsuccessful, the player will be asked to verify their details using other methods. Players cannot access or play any games until identity verification is complete.
WILL I HAVE TO SEND ANY ID?
As of the 7th of May 2019, UK Gambling Commission regulations state that UK gambling operators must verify every player’s identity to prove they are over the age of 18 before allowing them to play any games. This means that we are legally required to verify your name, address and date of birth. We may need to ask for and review photo ID before we can allow you to access our games. There is information on how to send your ID under ‘How do I send in my ID?’ in this FAQ section.
As part of our obligations under a licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission, we are required to conduct on-going due diligence checks at some point during the lifetime of an account. We may request additional information from players for security reasons or to re-verify the specific details registered and deposit methods used.
We may also be required to ask you to send additional information at the withdrawal stage for security reasons. This ensures funds are protected and the monies are paid to the correct person. Your documents will remain confidential and are never passed to any 3rd party companies; this is covered by our privacy policy. Once we have received and approved your ID, your winning payment will be processed via your chosen withdrawal method in 1 working day. There is information on the type of documents we may request under ‘What documents will you request from me?’ in this FAQ section.
HOW DO I SEND IN MY ID?
The quickest and easiest way to send in your ID is by using the ‘Send ID’ feature in the ‘My Account’ menu on our website. You will be able to upload a picture of your ID here. Should you choose to email, please ensure that you include your mobile phone number so we can easily identify your account.
WHAT DOCUMENTS WILL YOU REQUEST FROM ME?
We may just need to ask you to provide ID, such as a passport, driving licence or other recognised government issued documents.
We take security very seriously and check all IDs manually to ensure 100% accuracy.
Occasionally we may have to request additional ID to ensure details we hold on your account are accurate, that we are paying winning payments to the correct person and that deposits have not been made by unauthorised third parties.
We are also required by law, via licensing conditions and codes to carry out various security checks to safeguard against money laundering and other criminal practices.
In some cases we may need to ask you to provide us with documents as part of our Enhanced Due Diligence process such as proof of the payment method used and source of wealth. We ask for this information as one of our licence requirements to pro-actively engage in initial and on-going due diligence checks.
We have a responsibility to mobile network providers and contract holders to make sure we verify details of any mobile phones that are used to make deposits. We may ask you to provide proof of ownership of the mobile contract or proof of the bills being paid. This is part of our obligation with the mobile phone providers as we do have a duty of care to them with regards to deposits that have been made via your phone bill.
HOW CAN I ENSURE THAT MY ID IS ACCEPTED?
When sending in photo ID, please ensure that the entire document is visible and easily readable. Any images that are blurry or obstructed cannot be accepted. We accept most standard documents for proof of ID.
Please ensure that any documents you do send are in date, include who the document is from, have the correct name and address, and are clear and easy to read. There is information on type of documents we may request under “What document do I need to send ….” In this FAQ Section.
WHAT IF I DON’T GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION/DOCUMENTATION REQUESTED?

This level of encryption is the current internet security standard and is used by major financial institutions all over the world.
HOW DO YOU CONFIRM MY AGE WHEN A DEPOSIT IS MADE?
Bonus Boss maintains a strict no underage gambling policy.
Electronic age verification checks are used to ensure that you are over the age of 18 at the time of your deposit.

You can use any of the following methods to deposit funds into your Bonus Boss account:

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT?
There is no minimum withdrawal amount here at Bonus Boss! You’re free to withdraw any winnings once they have met the wagering requirement.
We do charge a £3 processing fee for withdrawals below £10.
YOU HAVE ASKED ME FOR ADDITIONAL ID – WHY DO YOU NEED THIS?
In some cases, we are unable to verify your identity using the documents you initially supplied. This might be because supplied information does not meet our requirements or they do not match other records that relate to your account.
We take security very seriously and will only ask for additional ID or proof of address and payments to ensure that winnings are being paid to the correct person. We may also require additional information as part of external regulatory requirements.
WHAT WAGERING REQUIREMENTS DO I HAVE TO MEET BEFORE WITHDRAWING BONUS WINNINGS?
All of Bonus Boss’s generous bonuses have a wagering requirement of 40x. This means that the bonus amount you receive must be wagered through 40 times before it is eligible for withdrawal.
For example if you receive £100 in bonus credit, you must wager £4000 before that bonus is able to be withdrawn.
In the case of free spins, the 40x wagering requirement is applied to anything you win from these spins. For example if you spun in a £10 win from a free spin, you would need to wager that £10 40 times (£400) before it is eligible for withdrawal.
HOW MUCH DO GAMES COST?
It’s completely free to sign up for a Bonus Boss account. The only thing you will need to pay for is any bet you wish to make.
If you are 18 or over, our online slots are available to play for free in demo mode. Your account must have been verified to ensure that you are over 18, and you’ll need to be logged into your account before you can access demo mode. Of course, you won’t be able to win real money by playing in this way. In order to play for free, select ‘Demo’ in the game main menu.
Your network provider may charge you for the use of your data if you play on 3G or 4G, so please bear this in mind when playing on the move.

WHY HAVE I NOT RECEIVED MY BONUS FOR REFERRING A FRIEND?
If your friend is already registered with us, or you have attempted to refer your own account, then you will not receive a Refer a Friend bonus. Our Refer a Friend bonus is very generous and to stop this being exploited we use electronic identity checks to ensure that the referred player exists, is over 18 and that the details supplied are correct.
Once the referred player passes these standard electronic checks, and has met the specific Refer a Friend Bonus requirements, you should receive your bonus. If your friend doesn’t pass these checks, we will ask your friend to send their ID to us to prove their details are correct. In such instances, you will receive your Refer a Friend bonus when we have received and verified their ID.
For more information on the Refer a Friend bonus available to existing customers please see our casino bonuses page, or if you need any specific advice on the status of your bonus please contact our customer care team via live chat in Support menu, text SUPPORT to 89905 for a free call-back, or call 01384 885046.

Bonus Boss is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the UK Gambling Commission under account number 2091.
HOW DO I SELF-EXCLUDE?
If you have reached the point where you feel that you can no longer gamble safely and your only option is to stop gambling, then we have a self-exclusion facility in place to stop you gambling. The process is instigated by the customer when they feel they need to stop gambling for a period of time and wish to seek help and advice.
When someone enters into a self-exclusion, they will be prevented from using their account for a specified period. We currently offer online self-exclusion for periods between 6 months and 5 years. To self-exclude please contact our customer support team via live chat in the Support menu, text SUPPORT to 89905 for a free call-back, or call 01384 885046.
Alternatively you can email selfexclusion@bonusboss.co.uk to self-exclude via email. When using the email method of self-exclusion please ensure you include all account information, so that we can find and self-exclude your account as quickly as possible.
You can also self-exclude without speaking to any member of the Bonus Boss team, by texting the word EXCLUDE to 84988. When using the SMS exclusion option the exclusion period will be 6 months by default.

WHAT ARE MY ACCOUNT DETAILS?
Upon registration, you will be asked to confirm your mobile number and create a password. This mobile number and password will become your account details and you must use this number and password whenever you wish to log in to your account, on any device.
I CANNOT LOGIN TO MY ACCOUNT, WHY IS THIS?
There are two main reasons for a failed login, these are:
- You are using a weak, or slow, connection. This is most common if you are connecting using your network provider’s connection in a poor service area. If you cannot access your account due to your data connection we recommend retrying your login when you are connected to Wi-Fi.
- You may have entered the incorrect details for your account. In the case of an incorrect password, you will receive an incorrect password error message. If you have forgotten your password, please use the ‘Forgot Password’ button on the login screen.
For any other connection issues, please try to log in again by restarting the game and retrying the login process. If you are still experience issues please contact customer support via live chat in the Support menu, text SUPPORT to 89905 for a free call-back, or call 01384 885046.
I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY PASSWORD
You can recover your password by using the ‘Forgot Password’ option on the login screen. Once you’ve confirmed your details we will send a password confirmation via SMS.
HOW DO I CHANGE MY PASSWORD?
You can change the password on your account by navigating to the ‘Settings’ menu when logged into the Bonus Boss casino site.
I’VE CHANGED MY PHONE NUMBER – WHAT HAPPENS TO MY GAMES AND ACCOUNT?
As your mobile number is used to verify your account and is set as your user ID by default, we require you to request a phone number change to your account when you get a new number.
You can request a phone number change from the Support menu, or by contacting our customer support team via live chat, texting SUPPORT to 89905 for a free call-back, or by calling 01384 885046.
Please DO NOT create a subsequent Bonus Boss account when you have a new number without first contacting our customer support team, to do so would be a breach of our terms and conditions and could cause removal of funds, bonuses, and withdrawals from ineligible secondary accounts.
MY PHONE HAS BEEN LOST OR STOLEN – WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MY BONUS BOSS ACCOUNT?
As your account may be accessed from a lost or stolen device, it is important that players who no longer have their phone, contact our customer support team, who will put an immediate block on the account to ensure it remains safe and secure.
If you require a block on your account due to your phone being lost or stolen, please contact our customer support team via live chat in the Support menu, text SUPPORT to 89905 for a free call-back, or call 01384 885046.
CAN I WITHDRAW MY DEPOSITS?
Yes, you can! Any unspent deposits can be withdrawn without wagering requirements.
I HAVE MADE A WITHDRAWAL, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY MONEY?
All withdrawals are checked by a member of our banking team. This is to ensure the highest levels of security are met, and to allow us to fulfil our regulatory responsibilities.
Even with this extra layer of manual security, it usually only takes one working day for withdrawals to be processed.
