How True Bonus Value (TBV) Works
Our proprietary TBV algorithm cuts through marketing hype to reveal the real worth of casino bonus offers.
What is TBV?
True Bonus Value (TBV) is our 1-10 scoring system that evaluates bonuses based on factors that actually matter. Unlike other sites that just show the headline offer, TBV reveals the real value.
A higher score indicates a more player-friendly bonus, helping you make informed decisions.
TBV Score Ranges
The Key TBV Factors
Bonus Amount
The total cash equivalent. Bigger is generally better, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.
Wagering
The multiplier on the bonus you must bet before withdrawing. Lower is significantly better.
Game Weighting
How much slots contribute to wagering. 100% is standard; less devalues the bonus.
Max Cashout
A limit on potential winnings. No limit is a perfect score. Low limits are a major penalty.
