The welcome package gets new players in the door. What keeps our players' accounts active week to week is the rotating slate of reload offers, free spins drops and calendar-tied campaigns described below. None of the figures here are fixed. Every live promotion has its own amount, wagering requirement and expiry date, published on the promotion itself and in the terms.
A reload offer is simple: top up your balance on a specific day or window and Grizzly matches a portion of that deposit, usually with a spending requirement attached before any bonus funds convert to withdrawable cash. We schedule these around the days our Canadian players actually deposit, which tends to mean midweek and weekend windows tied to payday cycles and Interac e-Transfer habits. The match percentage, the maximum bonus amount in CAD, and the minimum deposit all change from one reload cycle to the next, so we post the live numbers on the offer itself rather than locking a figure into this page. Check the promotion's own terms before you deposit, since reload offers almost always carry a wagering requirement and a time limit to clear it.
Running the same reload offer every week gets stale fast, and it also means we can't react to what's actually happening in the games library. When a new slot from Pragmatic Play or Push Gaming lands, or when Evolution refreshes a live dealer table, we'll sometimes pair that release with a short-run reload boost instead of the standard weekly one. Players who check the Promotions page regularly tend to catch these limited windows before they close.
Free spins drops are tied to specific titles, not the whole library. We pick a rotating shortlist of slots from providers like NetEnt, Play'n GO, Microgaming and Relax Gaming, and spins credited under a promotion only pay out on those chosen games. The spin count, the coin value, and how winnings from those spins convert to real balance are all set per campaign. Some drops require an eligible deposit first, others are credited automatically to players who meet an activity threshold that week. As with reloads, T&Cs apply to every free spins offer, including maximum win caps in some cases, so read the specific terms attached to the drop you're claiming.
A chunk of our promotional calendar is built around dates that matter here rather than generic global holidays. Hockey playoff season is one of the biggest: as the postseason bracket narrows in the spring, we typically run themed campaigns across slots and live tables that stretch through the run to the final. Long weekends get similar treatment. Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day and Thanksgiving weekend in October are natural points for a short promotional push, since deposit activity tends to climb when players have an extra day off. Winter brings its own cycle heading into the December holidays and again around New Year's, when we often layer a countdown-style series of smaller daily offers rather than one large one.
None of these seasonal campaigns follow a fixed template year to year. Some are deposit-match reloads with a hockey or holiday skin, others are pure free spins drops on a curated batch of slots, and some are leaderboard-style races where wagering on qualifying games earns a position on a prize table. Whatever the format, the mechanics, minimum play requirements and any prize structure are published in full on that campaign's own page before it goes live.
Because Grizzly accounts run natively in CAD, bonus amounts and any minimum deposit tied to a promotion are quoted in Canadian dollars, not converted from another currency at claim time. Most players fund reload offers through Interac e-Transfer since it clears quickly and matches how deposits are usually made here, though Visa, Mastercard, iDebit, MuchBetter and crypto options including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether are all eligible for most promotions too. If a specific campaign restricts eligible payment methods, that restriction is listed in the offer's terms. More detail on funding methods and processing times is on the Payments page.
Most reload and free spins offers require an opt-in through your account before you deposit or spin, rather than applying automatically. Once opted in, wagering progress toward clearing a bonus is usually visible in your account dashboard in real time, showing how much of the requirement is complete and how long you have left. Seasonal leaderboard campaigns typically show a live or near-live ranking during the promotion window so players can see where they stand.
Promotions are designed to add extra play, not to guarantee a result. No offer changes the underlying odds of a slot or table game, and no bonus structure makes winning likely or risk-free. If a seasonal campaign or reload cycle is pulling you to deposit more than you'd planned, Grizzly's account tools let you set deposit and session limits, and ConnexOntario is available at 1-866-531-2600 or https://www.connexontario.ca/ if you want to talk to someone about your play. You must be 19 or older to hold a Grizzly account and to take part in any promotion.

Reload offers typically refresh weekly, free spins drops rotate through a shortlist of selected slots, and seasonal campaigns run around specific windows like hockey playoffs, Canadian long weekends and the December-January holiday period. Check this page regularly since exact timing varies.
Most reload and free spins offers require you to opt in through your account first. Opting in after depositing may mean the deposit doesn't qualify, so check the specific offer's instructions before you fund your account.
They can be. Some seasonal campaigns are a standard deposit-match reload with a themed wrapper, while others are free spins drops or leaderboard races with their own prize structure. Each campaign's own page sets out exactly how it works.
Most promotions accept Interac e-Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, iDebit, MuchBetter, and crypto including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether. Some campaigns may restrict eligible methods, and that's listed in the specific offer's terms.
Rules vary by offer. Some promotions cannot be combined with an active bonus balance from another offer. Always check the individual promotion's terms, which are separate from the general terms on the Terms and Conditions page.
