Which has the better bonus?
Bet365 takes the bonus edge (Deposit Match Bonus + Free Spins). The sign-up wording below is what each operator advertises at registration — read it alongside the reason, because the score weighs the whole welcome package and the playthrough attached to it, not the headline alone.
Why Bet365 wins this category
Bet365 scores 9.5 vs 8.3 on bonus value. The engine scored the full welcome package, not the sign-up step shown above: Bonus of $1000 at 15x wagering. Playthrough differs too — 15× at Bet365 against $0.50-$54 at PokerStars Casino.
Reason from the rating engine's own bonus signal (scoring v7); the offer text above is the operator's sign-up wording.
