New players get a welcome package built around your first deposits, plus free spins on selected slots. This page covers how the structure works and what wagering actually means before you commit a dollar. Full current amounts, percentages and eligible games always sit on the promotion terms shown at signup and in your account. T&Cs apply throughout.
Most welcome packages at Grizzly are split across your first one or more deposits rather than handed over in one lump sum. A typical structure pairs a deposit match, meaning we add bonus funds on top of what you put in, with a batch of free spins credited to a specific slot or group of slots. The exact match percentage, the spins count, and which titles from providers like Pragmatic Play or Play'n GO are included can change over time, so we always confirm the live numbers on the offer page you see when you register, not on this page. Treat anything you read elsewhere as a guide to the shape of the offer, not the figures.
Splitting the package across multiple deposits gives you more chances to trigger bonus funds without needing one large payment upfront. It also lets us set different terms per stage. Your first deposit might unlock the bulk of the match, while a second or third top-up adds a smaller bonus or a fresh batch of spins. Each stage typically has its own minimum deposit and its own deadline to claim it, so check the countdown in your account rather than assuming the whole package stays open indefinitely.
Bonus funds and free spin winnings are not instantly withdrawable. They carry a wagering requirement, which is a multiplier telling you how many times you need to play through the bonus amount before it converts to withdrawable balance. If a wagering requirement is written as 30x, for example, and your bonus credit is 40 dollars CAD, you would need to wager 1,200 dollars CAD in qualifying gameplay before that bonus becomes withdrawable. That number is illustrative only. Your actual multiplier and bonus amount are shown in the offer terms at the time you claim.
Grizzly accounts run natively in Canadian dollars, so there's no currency conversion friction between your bank and your balance. Interac e-Transfer is the deposit method most Canadian players use to trigger the welcome package, since it moves directly from your online banking in CAD and typically lands in your account within minutes. To qualify for a bonus stage, your deposit generally needs to meet a stated minimum in CAD and be made using an eligible method. Interac, Visa and Mastercard usually qualify for welcome bonuses; check the specific offer if you plan to fund your account with Bitcoin, Ethereum or Tether instead, as crypto deposits are sometimes treated differently for promotional purposes.
Once your qualifying deposit clears, the matching bonus and any attached free spins are usually credited automatically or via a one-click opt-in in your promotions tab. Free spins tied to the package are normally restricted to a specific slot title or a short list of titles, and winnings from those spins are added as bonus balance subject to the same wagering rules described above.
The welcome package is for new, first-time depositors aged 19 or older. One package per player and per household is standard practice, and duplicate accounts are typically excluded from claiming it a second time. You'll need a verified account before withdrawing any winnings connected to a bonus, so it's worth completing identity verification early rather than waiting until you want to cash out.
| Stage | Typical trigger | What's credited |
|---|---|---|
| First deposit | Minimum CAD deposit via Interac, card or eligible crypto | Deposit match bonus plus free spins on a selected slot |
| Second deposit | Follow-up qualifying deposit within a set window | Smaller match bonus, sometimes additional spins |
| Ongoing | No deposit required beyond activity | Free spins on selected slots via the Promotions page |
Because promotional terms are reviewed and adjusted periodically, this page focuses on structure and mechanics rather than numbers that could go stale. Before you deposit, open the offer panel in your account or on the registration screen and read the wagering multiplier, minimum deposit, game contribution rates and expiry date that apply to you right now. If anything is unclear, our support team can walk you through it in plain terms before you opt in.
Interac e-Transfer is the most common qualifying method for Canadian players and usually clears quickly in CAD, but Visa and Mastercard deposits typically qualify too. Check the specific offer terms shown at signup to confirm which methods count for that stage of the package.
Requesting a withdrawal while a bonus is still active usually forfeits the remaining bonus balance and any winnings generated from it. Finish the wagering requirement first, or contact support to ask about withdrawing only your original deposit if that's an option on your offer.
Often at a reduced rate or not at all. Slots from providers like Pragmatic Play or Evolution's slot titles usually contribute close to 100 percent, while live dealer tables, blackjack and roulette typically contribute far less. The exact contribution table is listed in your active promotion's terms.
No. It's a one-time offer per player and per household, tied to your first qualifying deposit. Duplicate or previously registered accounts are excluded.
Our support team is available 24/7 in English and can explain your current wagering requirement, expiry date and eligible games in plain language before you opt in.
