Why chasing a bonus can backfire on a phone
A welcome offer looks generous until you read the small print and realise the playthrough requirement is longer than a shift at the warehouse. The catch is that a bonus often comes with a condition that you must wager the amount several times before you can withdraw anything, and that can turn a quick session into a marathon you did not sign up for. On a phone, the extra play can also chew through your data and battery faster than you expect, which is a poor trade for a feature you might not even use.
