Which has the better bonus?
Yay Casino takes the bonus edge (Welcome Bonus / No Deposit Sign-Up Bonus). 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 Yay Casino wins this category
Yay Casino scores 9.1 vs 8.6 on bonus value. The engine scored the full welcome package, not the sign-up step shown above: 120012 SC + 120K GC + 20 free spins, no purchase needed.
Reason from the rating engine's own bonus signal (scoring v7); the offer text above is the operator's sign-up wording.
