Bwin may not have the reputation of an especially generous operator but has prepared plenty for Zambian players nonetheless. You can expect a rather fair starting bonus paired with regular combo offers and insurance as well as plenty of tournaments with big prize pools. You can find more details on each ongoing offer, incl. key terms and conditions, in the following paragraphs.
As a new player of bwin Zambia, you can get a 100% bonus on your first deposit up to a maximum amount of 3,000 ZMW. What makes the offer especially attractive are the very modest requirements. You would have to deposit as little as 1 ZMW in order to qualify for the bonus and you would have to wager your deposit three times at odds of 5.00 and with at least 3 selections. As far as the staking requirements are concerned, you can bet on every sport without any odd limitations.
This is probably the most attractive offer of bwin Zambia, which grants you up to a 150% bonus on top of your combo winnings. The size of the offer is based on the number of selections made, starting with a 5% bonus for 5 selections in total. For each additional selection, you will get 5% extra for a maximum of 150% for 30 selections or more. Of course, you would have to score all of them in order to get your bonus which is paid out in real money. This means that there will be no further restrictions or limitations attached and you will be free to dispose of your winnings however you like.
Should you make a combo bet and lose only one selection, bwin Zambia will return up to 100x your bet back. The amount of the refund is based on the difference between the odds of your bet and the odds of the losing selection. So, if for example your total odds minus the odds of the incorrect selection are at least 25, you will get 1x your stake back. For a 45+ difference, you will get 2x your stake back. For the maximum of the offer – 100x your stake, you would need an odd difference of at least 950. The money you get is credited in cash, so once in your account, you will be able to keep on playing or simply cash out.
Bwin Zambia regularly organizes leaderboards and special events which offer rather enticing prizes. The leaderboards vary depending on the current sports scene but the rules are often the same – you get points for every stake you make on a given event. Prizes on the other hand vary from cutting-edge gadgets like phones, TVs and laptops to shopping vouchers and good-old cash. In addition to this, there is bwin’s Jumbo Jackpot. It offers a maximum prize of 1,500,000 ZWM to anyone who manages to score 13 out of 13 correct predictions at 20 ZMW per selection.
