Wagering Requirements
A wagering requirement is the number of times you must bet an amount before a bonus and its winnings become real money. It is the most important number in any bonus, because it decides when you can withdraw.
Figures in the examples are illustrations — the actual values are in the operator's terms.
Two ways it is calculated
| Requirement on | Example | Bets needed |
|---|---|---|
| the bonus | bonus 50, 30x | 1,500 |
| bonus + deposit | 50 + 50, 30x | 3,000 |
| free-spin winnings | winnings 10, 40x | 400 |

Game contribution
Not every bet counts equally. Slots usually count in full; table games, live casino, crash and instant games count partly or not at all. A 10 bet on a game with 10% contribution counts as 1, so the requirement is met ten times more slowly.
A contribution example
The requirement is 1,000 in bets. Play only slots at 100% and you need 1,000. Play roulette at 10% and you need 10,000 for the same result. This is a worked illustration, not the operator's terms. Check the contribution table before choosing a game on a bonus.
Maximum bet
While a bonus is active, terms usually cap the stake. Exceed it even once and the operator may cancel the bonus and its winnings. Check the cap in the bonus terms and watch it on every spin.
Deadline
If you do not meet the requirement in time, the bonus and its winnings expire. Work out how much you need to bet per day to finish on time; if that figure is unrealistic, decline the bonus.
Tracking progress
Most cashiers show in your profile how much of the requirement is complete. If you cannot see it, ask support — do not rely on your own count.
Common mistakes
- requesting a withdrawal before the requirement is met;
- playing excluded games that do not count at all;
- going over the maximum bet even for a single spin;
- missing the deadline after a few days without play;
- reversing a withdrawal so real money falls under a new requirement.
Requirement met — what next
The bonus becomes real money and you can request a withdrawal the usual way — see the withdrawal guide.
