Notes to answerer

Mark Robertson It is impossible to be sure without more context on the structure of the betting site. However, the source text refers to roll over of a bonus. This means something like the transfer of a bonus to another game. "In lotteries and similar games, if a jackpot rolls over, it is not won by anyone and the money is added to the prize money for the next lottery." https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/roll-over

philgoddard We need to know what it says before this.

Masoud Kakouli Varnousfaderani There is no text before it. This is the whole paragraph: If a customer transfers funds to the casino before the bonus amount has been rolled over in full, the bonus and associated winnings will be forfeited. The bonus is available for only one account per person, household, computer or IP address. If a customer is suspected of violating the rules, {company} will cancel the bonus.

philgoddard So this is the first paragraph of the document? Does it talk about the bonus without explaining what a bonus is?

Mark Robertson https://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/job281384.htm

Masoud Kakouli Varnousfaderani Yes, this is a test. They have copied and pasted some paragraphs. It doesn’t explain what a bonus is.

Masoud Kakouli Varnousfaderani This is a translation test. They have copied and pasted different paragraphs from different places. This is one of the paragraphs.

Thanks. It doesn’t make sense. The rest of the text says the amount will be fortified. Logically, if you reach the rollover, the bonus should be paid to you, not fortified.
