Field notes
Cashout caps and the 5× latch
A 120% match with a 5× cashout latch is a smaller chest than the banner. Ice prints it. No-deposit tours print it. We keep publishing the arithmetic because the industry will not.

Keep these
- A cashout cap is the other latch. A 120% match with a 5× ceiling is a smaller chest than the banner.
- Ice prints the 5× latch next to the five-day clock. Read both.
- A no-deposit with a short cap is a tour of the cashier, not a wage.
- A slot’s printed max win does not beat a house cashout latch.
- We print the cap on the chest. If it is missing, we have not read it.
What a latch is
A cap on how much of the bonus, or of bonus plus winnings, you may withdraw. Sometimes a multiple of the deposit. Sometimes a flat euro figure. Sometimes a multiple of the bonus itself. Ice Casino’s first drop is 120% plus spins. The 5× cashout latch is real. So is the five-day clock. Read both.
No-deposit tours
Free spins with a cashout cap can still be useful. A €25 no-deposit at 5x with a short clock is a tour of the cashier, not a wage. V.Vegas prints that shape. The no-deposit guide has the traps. This page is the latch those tours share with fat welcomes.
Slot ceilings are not cashier ceilings
Joker Stoker’s public sheets print a 2,000× max win. Ice’s welcome still latches cashout at 5× the deposit. The slot ceiling does not beat the bonus latch. Wanted’s 12,500× does not beat a house cap either. Play the convert if the bar is small. Do not pretend the game’s max win is the withdrawal.
Where we print it
On the chest. In Root Score. In the Ice house note. If a cap is not on the card, we have not read it — last sap is the day we last read the live terms. Older than two weeks and we treat the offer as suspect until we read it again.
18+. T&Cs apply. Never chase a bonus to get even.
