FairPlay Cashback — a share of net losses, back every Monday
Every other bonus on this site rewards a deposit you're about to make. Cashback works the other way — it looks back at a week that's already happened and returns a share of what you were net down, above a minimum threshold, on a fixed schedule.

Three weeks, three outcomes
Illustrative figures, not live terms — the actual rate and threshold are on the account.
| Week | Staked | Net result | Cashback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Won overall | ₹20,000 | +₹3,000 net | ₹0 — nothing to return on a winning week |
| Small net loss | ₹15,000 | −₹800 net | Below most thresholds — check the minimum on the account |
| Larger net loss | ₹40,000 | −₹6,500 net | A share of the ₹6,500, at whatever rate is currently live |
Why cashback is a genuinely different mechanism
A deposit bonus is forward-looking: it's decided at the moment you pay in, before you know how the week will go. Cashback is backward-looking: it's calculated after the week is over, based on what actually happened, which means there's nothing to opt into in advance and nothing that can be planned around the way a deposit bonus can. It rewards a pattern of play, not a single decision.
Why it's calculated weekly, not daily
A daily version would pay out and claw back constantly as results swing session to session, which is both harder to administer and less meaningful to a player — most people don't think about their gambling in single-day units. A week is long enough to smooth out normal variance while still being short enough to feel like a regular, predictable return rather than an occasional surprise.
Why there's a minimum threshold
Without one, a return on a few hundred rupees of net loss would cost more to calculate and pay out than the amount itself is worth, to both sides. The threshold exists so cashback stays meaningful for the weeks it actually pays out on, rather than generating a trickle of near-zero payments most weeks.
What cashback doesn't do
It doesn't offset a single bad session in isolation, doesn't apply mid-week, and doesn't stack with itself — one calculation per account per week. It also isn't a reason to stake more than you otherwise would: the return is a fraction of what was lost, never the whole amount, so it reduces the cost of a losing week rather than removing it.
Why cashback isn't a reason to chase a loss
Because it returns only a share of net losses, and only above a threshold, staking more specifically to qualify for a larger cashback payment is close to guaranteed to cost more than it returns — the fraction is always less than the whole. If a losing week is starting to feel like something to recover from through more betting rather than accept and move past, that's worth treating as separate from the cashback question entirely — deposit and session limits are the actual tool for that, not a promotion designed around a different purpose.
What a typical calculation actually looks like
Take everything staked, subtract everything returned, and whatever remains negative is the net loss the rate applies to — nothing more complex than that, even though the underlying betting activity across a week can be varied.
Why the return is a share, never the full amount
Returning 100% of net losses would remove any real cost from losing, which would undermine the whole basis on which the platform operates. A partial share softens a losing week without eliminating the outcome of it, which is the balance every cashback structure in this category is built around.
Why cashback exists alongside deposit bonuses at all
A deposit bonus rewards bringing new money in; cashback rewards staying active regardless of outcome. Together they cover both sides of what keeps an account genuinely used rather than funded once and abandoned — which is also why cashback doesn't require a fresh deposit to qualify, unlike the joining bonus or refill bonus, both of which are triggered by paying money in rather than by a pattern of play over time.
How cashback fits with other offers on the account
Cashback runs independently of the joining bonus and refill bonus — a week can include a deposit-match offer and a cashback payment at the end of it, tracked and credited separately rather than combined into one figure. Check how these compare across the category if you're weighing more than one platform.
How the calculation is tracked
Every stake and every result across the week feeds one running net figure on the account, closed out at the scheduled payment time rather than recalculated on demand. That's why a mid-week balance doesn't show a projected cashback figure — the number genuinely isn't final until the week's activity is complete.
That also means switching between sports and casino play mid-week doesn't reset or split the calculation — a loss on Tuesday's cricket and a loss on Thursday's slots net together into the same single weekly figure, not two separate ones.
FAQ
Cashback questions
How net losses are calculated, and how this differs from a deposit bonus.
What if I deposit mid-week — does cashback start from my deposit date?
No — the cashback week runs on a fixed schedule regardless of when any individual deposit lands within it. Activity from the moment your account is eligible counts toward that week's calculation, not a rolling seven days from your own deposit date.
Does closing my account mid-week forfeit that week's cashback?
Generally yes, since the calculation only completes at the scheduled payment point — an account closed before that point has no final net figure to pay out against. If you're planning to step away, it's worth checking the account for anything pending before doing so.
Does cashback apply to casino play, sports betting, or both?
Typically both, calculated together as one net figure across everything played on the account that week — the terms published with the live offer specify exactly which activity counts if there's any exclusion.
Is cashback the same as a refund?
No. A refund would return money for something that went wrong. Cashback is a scheduled return of a share of your net losses over the week, regardless of whether anything went wrong — it applies the same way whether you had one bad session or a run of small losses spread across several days.
What counts as a "net loss" for cashback?
Everything you staked over the week, minus everything you won back, calculated once at the end of the period rather than per bet. A week with several losing days and one big winning day nets those against each other before cashback is worked out — it isn't a sum of every individual losing bet.
Do I need to opt in to cashback the way I opt in to a deposit bonus?
That depends on how the current offer is structured, and it's shown on the account rather than assumed. Some cashback programmes run automatically for every eligible account; others require an opt-in the same way a deposit bonus does. Check the promotions section on the account rather than assuming either way.
Does cashback carry a wagering requirement like a deposit bonus does?
Often a lighter one, or none at all, because cashback is compensating for money already lost rather than encouraging new staking volume — but this varies by the specific offer live at the time, and the terms shown when it's credited say which applies. Don't assume it matches the deposit-bonus wagering structure described on the bonuses page.
Is there a maximum cashback amount per week?
Typically yes — a cap exists precisely so the return stays proportional to a normal week of play rather than becoming an incentive to lose deliberately. The current cap, like every other specific figure on this page, is published with the live offer rather than fixed here.
Why is cashback paid on a fixed day rather than instantly?
Because it's calculated over the whole week, it can only be worked out once the week has actually ended — there's no partial or running figure to pay out mid-week. A fixed weekly payment day is simply when that calculation is complete, not an arbitrary delay.
