Mobile Bonuses and Promotions
Some promotions are available inside the BCLC mobile app. From the app’s Promotions section you can view and activate offers, including free spins and bonus balances where applicable. Browse active promotions on your phone and claim eligible offers while signed in and located in a supported province. Some offers may require a qualifying deposit or a specific game spend before activation.
Each promotion lists available rewards, valid games such as slots, select live casino tables or lottery products, activation steps, and usage conditions including wagering and expiry. The app also shows your promotion history and current progress so you can track redemptions, remaining play requirements, and whether an offer is still valid for immediate use.
- See active and upcoming promotions in one place with quick access to full terms, minimum deposit or eligibility requirements, and expiry dates so you can decide which offers to accept on mobile.
- Open a promotion to view eligible games, step-by-step activation instructions, any game restrictions, listed payment notes where applicable, and wagering requirements shown alongside the reward.
- Track bonus progress and remaining wagering directly in the promotions view, with a progress indicator or token balance shown for each active offer to help manage redemptions and time remaining.
- Review promotion history and activation status to confirm past redemptions, expired tokens, and currently active bonuses so you know which rewards are ready for play.
- Enable app notifications for new or expiring offers and check My Promotions for exclusive in-app tokens that may appear only while you’re located in an eligible province.
