I checked faq#depositbonus:

To set a bonus you need to specify your share that will define the leverage, aka credit, from DuckDice. The bigger balance allows you to place more bets, play with bigger stakes and as a result win much more. It works similar to margin trading.
I haven't done the math, but I'm wondering if this is true. The user can also lose more, and considering the player loses on average, "win much more" seems misleading.

I'll note it, i don't think it's necessarily misleading but certainly noted; i'm personally not a fan of marketing that makes any claims but it'll make more sense when i clarify the bonus terms you highlighted later in the post.

Deposit Bonus increases your odds for higher win
Here too: I'd like to know if this is true (on a mathematical level). This also seems misleading.

Again, not a fan of making these claims nor am i the best-qualified person to tell you the odds (I'm more on the people side of things than anything else) but it'll make more sense in a moment.

DuckDice can not it all the time and will give the chance to participate only occasionally for a limited segment of players.
I think a word ("give"?) is missing. I would expect Terms to be absolutely clear.

Yeah, noted Smiley but not too unclear, we're just trying to say we'll only run them on a limited basis.

Reasons to cancel Deposit Bonus:
Bonus Lost - when the Bonus Balance is spent before the wagering requirements are cleared.
Say I deposit 1 BTC and get a 1 BTC bonus. I play a bit, lose the 1 BTC bonus, and have 1 BTC left. According to the above, this would be a reason for me to cancel the Deposit Bonus. But if I do:
Quote
Return = Current Bonus Balance - DuckDice initial share
This would mean I get nothing! So I'm better off if I continue playing, hoping I'll either increase my balance again, or reach the wagering requirement before my funds run out.
Or do you mean you call the full 2 BTC (including the 1 BTC I deposited) "Bonus Balance"? If that's the case, I'd say it's misleading.

I'm not a native English speaker, but while reading through the Deposit Bonus Rules, I get the feeling it needs proofreading.

My understanding of it is that you'll get the initial share back *if* you are above that initial share, losing any additional bonus balance and profit (if above profit) or you can cancel under the initial share, and only get what you haven't lost below that initial share.

So you're dead right it needs proofreading, but you can see how some claims (that I'd rather not see) can be made on it offering an advantage for bigger wins.
