A reload bonus (also called a re-deposit or weekly deposit bonus) rewards existing customers for topping up their account. Unlike a welcome bonus (which is one-time only), reload bonuses recur — typically every week or month. African bookmakers offer reload bonuses ranging from 10% to 50% on qualifying deposits, making them one of the most valuable ongoing promotions for regular bettors.
A reload bonus is a deposit bonus for existing customers — not just new ones. Bookmakers award a percentage of your deposit (e.g., 50% up to ₦5,000) when you reload your account. The bonus is credited instantly alongside your deposit. Wagering requirements (usually 3–8×) apply before withdrawal. Reload bonuses are the most commonly recurring promotion across African bookmakers.
Most African bookmakers offer reload bonuses weekly. Some run daily deposit promotions (1xBet, Melbet). Others tie reload bonuses to specific events — a Champions League week or AFCON matchday reload. Check the promotions tab of each bookmaker for the current schedule.
