Sol Casino's sign-up panel, shown with Norway and kroner selected, lists a casino welcome bonus of 50% up to NOK 3,000 with a wagering figure of 45, and a sports bonus of 150% up to NOK 1,000 with a figure of 10. The 50% match is lower than the 100% and 150% offers its sister casinos advertise, and AskGamblers lists different, euro-based offers for Sol. The 45 matters most, because the panel does not say what it is multiplied by. Below: the maths for a realistic deposit, the NOK 50 bet cap, the 5X limit on winnings and what the terms say about cancelling.
50% up to NOK 3,000: the deposit that fills the cap is NOK 6,000
The casino bonus on the panel needs a first deposit of at least NOK 100 and pays 50% of it, up to a maximum bonus of NOK 3,000. Because the match is half the deposit, the cap is reached only at a deposit of NOK 6,000. A NOK 1,000 deposit earns NOK 500, a NOK 2,000 deposit earns NOK 1,000, and anything above NOK 6,000 adds nothing. Winnings from the bonus are capped at 5X the bonus.
The sports bonus on the same panel is the generous one: 150% with the same NOK 100 minimum and a cap of NOK 1,000, which a deposit of about NOK 667 fills. Its wagering figure is 10, against 45 for the casino bonus.
What 45 means in kroner, and the question the panel leaves open
The terms say a wagering multiplier applies either to the bonus itself or to the bonus and the deposit made, and that each bonus has its own terms, shown when you accept it. The panel prints only the number 45. If it applies to the bonus alone, a NOK 1,000 deposit gives a NOK 500 bonus and NOK 22,500 of bets are needed. At the full NOK 3,000 bonus the target is NOK 135,000.
If it applied to bonus plus deposit, the same NOK 1,000 deposit would mean NOK 1,500 multiplied by 45, or NOK 67,500. The difference is a factor of three, and the sources do not say which base Sol uses, so read the bonus's own terms before accepting. On the sports bonus, a figure of 10 on the NOK 1,000 maximum means NOK 10,000 of bets if it applies to the bonus alone.
The NOK 50 maximum bet and the 2,700 bets it implies
Unless a bonus states its own limit, the terms allow no more than NOK 50 of any bet to count towards wagering (NOK 20 for players from Finland). At NOK 50 a bet, the NOK 22,500 target is at least 450 bets, and the NOK 135,000 target for the maximum bonus is at least 2,700 bets.
Only slots count, and only at 100%. Slots where the player can change the volatility, Real Money slots and every other game count 0%, and jackpot bets do not count either. The terms add that the counted share can change without notice.
Winnings from the 50% bonus are capped at five times the bonus
The panel gives a maximum for winnings from the bonus of 5X the bonus amount. On a NOK 500 bonus that is NOK 2,500, and on the full NOK 3,000 bonus it is NOK 15,000. The sports bonus is stricter at 1X, so its winnings cannot exceed the NOK 1,000 bonus.
The panel does not say whether the cap counts the bonus itself or only what you win from it. A separate rule covers no-deposit bonuses: winnings are capped at 10X the bonus unless the bonus says otherwise, and anything above is written off after wagering.
Cancelling, withdrawing early and the one-bonus-at-a-time rule
Only one bonus can be active in an account at a time; if several are waiting, they are wagered one by one. If you submit a withdrawal request before the wagering is complete, the bonus is cancelled, and you lose the bonus and any bonus winnings above the bonus amount.
A bonus that combines a deposit match with free spins is tied together: cancel the deposit part and the unplayed spins, and winnings from them, are cancelled too. A bonus also goes inactive when the balance reaches zero with no unfinished bets. To withdraw bonus money the account must be verified and a minimum deposit made; the terms give no amount.
Bonus bets do not count towards the separate 1X deposit wagering, so a player who deposits, takes the bonus and plays through the 45 still has the ordinary deposit rule to satisfy before a withdrawal.
What differs from the sister casinos, and what the records say
Sol shares its rulebook with Fresh, Lex, Martin and Rox, but the welcome panel is Sol's own. AskGamblers lists three casino welcome offers in euro: 100% up to 300 EUR plus up to 500 free spins, 100% up to 600 EUR, and 50% up to 300 EUR. The panel shows only the 50% offer, so the other two are second-hand.
On complaints, CasinoGuru records 22 for Sol and a Safety Index of 7.7. AskGamblers shows a player rating of 9.4 from 77 ratings, and Trustpilot 2.7 out of 5 from 96 reviews. None of these breaks complaints down by topic, so how many concern bonuses is not known. The welcome validity in days and the minimum deposit needed to withdraw bonus money are not stated.
Who the Sol offer suits
The casino bonus suits a player who deposits around NOK 1,000, plays slots only, accepts a target of NOK 22,500 or more at NOK 50 a bet, and has checked that the 45 applies to the bonus rather than the deposit. The 5X cap bounds the upside at NOK 2,500 on that deposit.
It does not suit someone who prefers live games, roulette or jackpot slots, since none of them counts, or someone who may withdraw at short notice, because a withdrawal request cancels the bonus. A sports bettor has the 150% bonus with a figure of 10.
Myths vs facts
- Myth: A NOK 3,000 bonus means a NOK 3,000 deposit.
- Fact: At 50% the cap needs a NOK 6,000 deposit. A NOK 3,000 deposit earns NOK 1,500.
- Myth: Betting more per spin clears the 45 faster.
- Fact: Only NOK 50 of each bet counts under the default limit, so the NOK 135,000 target for the maximum bonus is at least 2,700 bets.
- Myth: Table games and live games can be used to wager the casino bonus.
- Fact: Slots count 100%. Other games and jackpot games count 0%, and volatility-adjustable slots count 0% too.
Before you claim
- Open the bonus's own terms and see whether 45 applies to the bonus alone or to bonus plus deposit.
- Work out the target for your deposit: bonus times 45, then divide by NOK 50 for the minimum number of bets.
- Play standard slots only, never jackpot or volatility-adjustable ones.
- Do not file a withdrawal request before the wagering is complete.
- Note the 5X limit on winnings before choosing the deposit size.
