If LuckyBear Casino offers cashback, first establish the calculation base: losses, turnover or some other measure. The percentage on its own does not explain the refund amount. Below is how to check it, with a hypothetical example.
A percentage of which amount
Cashback on counted losses and cashback on turnover are calculated on different bases. You cannot substitute the sum of your deposits for your losses: some of the funds may have stayed in your balance or been withdrawn. Take the definition of the base from the promotion rules.
A hypothetical example: with counted losses of 2,000 rubles and a refund rate of 5%, the calculation gives 2,000 × 0.05 = 100 rubles. These parameters are not the operator's terms. A partial refund does not make play profitable.
The calculation period and exclusions
Find the start and end of the period, including the time zone. A transaction close to midnight may fall into a different period than you expected. Do not assume the period is necessarily a calendar week or month.
Establish which bets and winnings are included in the calculation and how bonus funds are treated. If there is a participation threshold, check it, but do not increase your spending just to reach it. A difference from your own calculation may be explained by exclusions rather than a credit error.
The refund cap
Check whether a maximum credit amount applies. Even with a correct percentage formula, the result can be limited by a ceiling in the rules. Separately establish whether the refund rate changes with status or other conditions.
To check your figure, keep your base, the percentage and the cap that was applied. Do not mistake an advertised maximum rate for your personal one. If it is available only at a certain level, ask which level applies to your account.
Cash or bonus credit
Find out where the cashback is credited and whether you can use it right away. It may come with additional requirements; you cannot claim that any refund is always free of wagering or always credited only to a bonus balance.
If wagering applies, check the base, the multiplier, the deadline and the eligible games. The credited amount and the amount available for withdrawal can differ. Do not place bets until you understand how using the refund affects your other funds.
If the credit doesn't match
First check that the period has ended and how the cashback is claimed: automatically, or by an action if one is specified. Look at your credit history. The absence of an obvious notification does not always mean the transaction has not been processed.
If the discrepancy remains, give the operator the period, your calculation and the name of the offer. Ask them to state the base and the exclusions applied. Do not send full payment documents to public channels and do not deposit more on a promise of a faster refund.

Questions on this topic
What should I check if cashback was not credited?
The period, your eligibility, how it is claimed and any exclusions in the calculation. Then ask for an explanation about that specific promotion, without placing extra bets to trigger a credit.
Can I withdraw cashback immediately?
That depends on the credit terms. Check whether it is cash or bonus funds and whether any additional requirements apply.
Is a deposit the cashback base?
Not necessarily. A deposit, turnover and counted losses are different measures. Use the definition in the rules of the offer you chose.
