Sign Up Bonuses and Non Depositors - You can not withdraw any money from Tiki Bingo unless you have made a successful deposit in to your Tiki Bingo account. Non depositors who want to withdraw must deposit and play out at least $20 before their withdrawal will be processed. E.g. A non depositing player wants to withdraw $15 won by playing from using a 'free signup bonus' - they must deposit $20 and then play out $20 before the original $15 withdrawal will be processed. For withdrawals over $20 the equivalent figure must be deposited and played out before the withdrawal will be processed. E.g. A non depositing player wants to withdraw $80 won by using a 'free signup bonus' to play in a normal 'pay to play' game - they must deposit $80 and then play out $80 before the original $80 withdrawal will be processed. Players who have deposited into their Tiki Bingo account are not subject to these additional Signup Bonus terms.

BONUS SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Tiki Bingo has a generous bonus scheme but it is important that you understand how it works. If you are a regular player at Tiki Bingo, you will receive three types of bonus. Deposit bonuses, which are awarded when you make a deposit, Chat Game Bonuses, which are awarded when you win one of our regular Chat games and Promotional bonuses.
Your account at Tiki Bingo has two main balances which are visible at the bottom left of your screen.
BALANCE
This is your Cash Balance and is where all your deposits and your winnings will be credited.
BONUS BALANCE
This is where all your bonus money is paid. If you move your mouse pointer over the Bonus Balance, a pop-up window will show you the breakdown of your Bonus Balance as follows:
- Bonus money available for play (Remember, that any cash in your Balance is used before Bonus money.)
- Bonus money that has to be redeemed before it can be used for play
HOW IT WORKS
- When you receive a bonus for a Chat Game or a referral, it will be paid into your Bonus Balance and can be used immediately to buy bingo cards
- All deposit bonuses and some promotional bonuses have to be redeemed before they can be used for play.
These bonuses are redeemed by purchasing bingo cards or playing the in-game Slots or Scratch Cards. As you purchase bingo cards or play on the in-game Slots and Scratch cards, this bonus money is redeemed at the rate of 50% of the wager.
e.g. if you spend $2 on bingo cards, in-game slots or scratchers, $1 of any unredeemed bonus money will be redeemed. - Bonus money cannot be cashed out and remains the property of Tiki Bingo. Please note that if you withdraw funds, any bonus money in your Bonus Balance that has not been redeemed will be removed. If you do not wish to lose these bonuses, we recommend that you add sufficient funds to purchase cards to redeem bonus money into your Bonus Balance before making the withdrawal.
A detailed breakdown of the funds in your Bonus Balance can be seen by moving the cursor over the Bonus Balance in the game.
BONUS FAQs
Why can't I buy any cards when I have money in my bonus balance?
This means that you have used your cash balance and all your Playable Bonus Funds. The funds remaining in your Bonus Balance have not yet been redeemed. If you hover the mouse cursor over the Bonus Balance display in the game, a pop-up will tell you how much of your bonus balance is playable and how much is waiting to be redeemed by the purchase of cards or by play on the in-games slots/scratchers. In order to redeem more funds into your Bonus Balance, you will have to make a deposit so that you can purchase more cards or play more games on the in-game Slots/Scratchers. Every $1 you spend on bingo cards, Scratchers or in-game Slots releases $0.50 from your Non-Playable Bonus into your Playable Bonus.
Why can't I play Captain's Treasure? There is money in my bonus balance?
The slot games accessed via the "More Games" button can only be played for cash. This includes: Jacks or Better, Captain's Treasure, Goblin's Cave, Ocean Princess and Fruit Mania.
Why has all my bonus money been removed after I withdrew my winnings?
When you make a withdrawal any funds in your Bonus Balance that have not been redeemed are removed. If you do not wish to lose this bonus money, you can first “release” it by purchasing bingo cards or playing the in-games slots/scratchers. Remember, every $1 you spend on bingo cards, Scratchers or in-game Slots releases $0.50 from your Non Playable Bonus Balance into your Playable Bonus Balance.
