Last updated: October 15, 2026
Payday no longer issues bonus cash. Since October 15, 2026, new rewards are promo credits. Bonus cash you already hold works under the rules below until 11:59 p.m. ET on January 15, 2027. See What are Promo Credits?
What is bonus cash?
Bonus cash is a promotional balance issued before October 15, 2026. It's shown separately from your Main Wallet and disappears from your balance once it reaches zero.
How do I use my bonus cash?
On your entry slip, pick Bonus Cash under Use a Promo before you submit.
You can use up to the bonus cash you hold.
Bonus cash is never mixed with your Main Wallet funds.
MAX entries only.
Every pick must have a multiplier of 1.75x or higher.
Bonus cash can't be combined with a boosted pick, promo credits or another promo.
If the entry doesn't meet these rules, you can't apply bonus cash to it.
Can I withdraw bonus cash?
No. Bonus cash itself can't be withdrawn. If the entry wins, the full payout goes to your Main Wallet as cash. There's no extra play-through on those winnings, and you can withdraw them once the qualifying play-through on your deposits is met.
How do I earn bonus cash?
You can't earn new bonus cash after October 15, 2026. New rewards arrive as promo credits in your Promos tab.
Understanding play-through
Your deposit comes with a 1x qualifying play-through requirement, as set out in our Terms and Conditions and Play-Through Policy.
Example:
You deposit $100. You must place $100 in qualifying entries from your Main Wallet before you can withdraw. Bonus cash entries don't count toward it.
Expiration & restrictions
Bonus cash expires at 11:59 p.m. ET on January 15, 2027. After that, unused bonus cash is removed from your account.
If you self-exclude or your account is deactivated, bonus cash is voided.
Payday reserves the right to remove bonus cash in cases of policy violations, abuse, or responsible gaming requirements.
Bonus cash can't be used on Payday Decksā¢, Survivor or same-game entries.
What changed: October 15, 2026. Bonus cash is no longer issued. Use it from Use a Promo on your entry slip. It expires January 15, 2027.
