What Is Bonus Crab?
Bonus Crab is a live claw machine you control yourself. Instead of a random bonus that just lands in your account, you aim a real grabber over a field of plush prizes, line up your shot, and try to pull one out. Make a successful grab and the prize is yours instantly — real money, bonus money, free spins or coins. It runs every day, it's always available, and once you've made your first deposit you're the one steering the claw, not the machine.
That hands-on feel is the whole point. A normal deposit bonus is static; Bonus Crab turns your daily reward into something you actually play.
How a Bonus Crab grab works
You unlock a grab from a deposit of just €10. When your turn comes up, you get 25 seconds to move the claw into position using the on-screen arrows. Two camera angles help you aim — Front View for depth and Top View for left-right alignment — and a laser pointer shows exactly where the claw sits. When you're happy with the position, you hit Grab. If the timer runs out first, the claw simply drops wherever it's parked.
A few honest things worth knowing, because they're how the machine genuinely works: the machine never picks a prize for you — you're in full control during the countdown. The claw can also drop an item before it reaches the chute, which is normal mechanical behaviour, not a glitch. It's the same for every player and every grab, so the play is consistent and fair — but exactly because it's a physical-style grab, no win is ever guaranteed.
Bonus Crab prizes and symbols
Every plush item maps to a fixed prize. Here's the full list:
| Symbol | Prize | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 💎 Diamond | €10 | Real money — credited straight to your main balance |
| 🍀 Clover | €20 | Bonus money — fair wagering attached |
| 🍌 Banana | 30 | Free spins — on selected slots |
| 🍓 Strawberry | 20 | Free spins — on popular video slots |
| 🍇 Plum | 10 | Coins — spend them in the bonus shop |
Real-money grabs (the diamond) hit your withdrawable balance with little to no wagering. Bonus money and free spins follow normal terms, and coins build up for the shop.
The weekly lottery (€1,000 prize pool)
Bonus Crab isn't just single grabs — every round you play also earns you a ticket into a weekly €1,000 lottery, paid as bonus money with light 1× wagering. The clever part is how tickets stack: on your first day of the week you get one ticket per round, and each following day you play, you earn one more ticket per round than the day before — up to a maximum of seven per round if you play every single day. So the more consistently you show up, the more numbers you're holding when the draw comes.
The draw runs every Sunday at 23:59:59 GMT, ticket distribution resets every Monday at 00:00, and every ticket carries its own unique number. If one of yours is picked, you're told the next time you log in and the prize lands in your first Bonus Crab session afterwards. Then a fresh week starts and the tickets reset.
Achievements and win tracking
Your profile quietly keeps score. Win Statistics count how many of each item you've grabbed — diamonds, clovers, bananas, strawberries and plums — and a set of achievements unlock as you go: your first grab, your first win, then milestones at 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 wins, plus streak-style goals for playing 10 days, a full week and 30 days. Some hand you a reward to claim straight away; others fill up as a progress bar. It's a small thing, but it gives the daily grab a sense of progress beyond the single prize.
Missed grab? The instant attempt
If a grab doesn't land, the game may offer you a paid instant attempt so you can go straight back in without waiting. It only applies to the machine and session you're in, has to be used right away, and can't be saved or carried over — once the session ends, an unused attempt is gone. Handy in the moment, but never required.
Playing for free — the no-deposit route
There's no classic no-deposit Bonus Crab handed out at signup. What does exist is a grab you earn rather than buy: some casinos let you trade loyalty coins for an attempt in their bonus shop — for example, around 50 coins for one grab at certain sites. You collect those coins by playing and completing challenges, so a "free" Bonus Crab is really a reward for being active. The prize is still real, though — the same diamonds, clovers and free spins as any other grab.
Want bigger prizes? Bonus Crab XL
For around €4.99 a month, Bonus Crab XL upgrades every daily grab to a higher prize tier — think up to €20 real money, €40 bonus money or 60 free spins per item instead of the standard amounts. It runs for 30 days, renews whenever you like, and isn't offered everywhere yet. If you're grabbing every day anyway, it lifts the ceiling on what each grab is worth.
Bonus Crab vs Cash Crab — what's the difference?
They look similar but play completely differently. Bonus Crab is your daily, deposit-triggered reward — one grab a day, you against the machine, prizes from real money to free spins. Cash Crab is the real-money version: you stake on each round, play as many rounds as you like, and chase cash multipliers up to 20× on the Original machine (other machines vary), sometimes head-to-head against another player. Bonus Crab is the relaxed daily perk; Cash Crab is the competitive, skill-led game. (Full Cash Crab guide is on its own page.)
| Bonus Crab | Cash Crab | |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Daily deposit from €10 | Real-money stake per round |
| Rewards | Real money, bonus, free spins, coins | Cash multipliers up to 20× (Original) |
| Limit | One grab per day | Unlimited rounds |
| Style | You vs the machine | Active play, sometimes PvP |
