How a deposit match works
A 100% deposit match up to $500 means the book adds a dollar for every dollar you deposit, to a cap of $500. Deposit $200 and you get $200 in bonus funds on top. The match is almost never cash you can withdraw; it is a credit with strings attached.
The playthrough catch
Deposit-match bonuses carry a rollover or playthrough requirement: you must bet the bonus, often several times over, before any of it converts to withdrawable cash. A ten-times rollover on a $200 bonus means $2,000 in bets first. The headline number is the marketing; the rollover is the actual offer, and it is where most of the value quietly disappears.
