They arrive two ways, through campaigns and through the waiting room before each payout. A bonus described as "$50 of tickets" means 5,000 tickets, the weekly weight a $50 average balance would carry. It raises your odds in the covered draws and then expires. It is not cash, and nothing about it can be withdrawn. ### Campaign bonuses A campaign publishes a bonus range before it opens. Qualify, usually by making a minimum deposit during the window, and your exact bonus is drawn within that range and revealed on the spot. The draw within the range favors the lower end, so treat the top number as a possibility rather than an expectation. Each person qualifies once, and the bonus stops counting on the campaign's expiry date. Your balance-based tickets continue untouched throughout. Some campaigns are open to everyone; others are limited to slots, an allowlist, or participants in [Amplify](/docs/vaults-and-deposits/universal-deposits.md), which moves positions from other protocols into Ample and frequently carries a bonus of its own. ### Waiting room In the hours before each payout, the waiting room opens in the app. Tickets float across the screen, and each tap collects one bonus ticket for that draw, up to 1,000 per cycle. The full thousand equals the weekly weight of a $10 balance, so this is a ritual more or less a fun edge for you. ### How they count Bonus tickets join your total after multipliers and boosts have applied, as a flat addition, and they sit outside the $25,000 balance cap. Since campaign bonuses measure in the tens or low hundreds of dollars of equivalent weight, they tilt odds rather than transform them. The transformation is what your balance and your [multipliers](/docs/how-payouts-work/odds.md) are for. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
