Can someone explain the difference between bonded, imprinted, and mated?

I think they’re all the same. I’ve read a handful of omegaverse stories and I find every universe is slightly different which is kind of a pain but yeah. They played it off as something so casual lol it threw me off so bad. As imprinting is a forever bond and for an omega it’s kinda a huge deal as they can’t be with anyone else until they die and if their alpha dies or leaves them they just suffer. So I think the author just downplayed it a bit too much. But they did indeed become bonded pairs.
Okay, can anyone tell me if this is worth the read?
People hate the ML but if anything, I love his redemption arc. This should be how other ML grovel and chase the mc.
