Question 1

What is a wagering requirement?

Accepted Answer

A wagering requirement (also called a playthrough requirement) is the number of times you must bet your bonus — or bonus plus deposit — before any winnings can be withdrawn. A 30x wagering requirement on a £50 bonus means you must place £1,500 in total bets before cashing out.

Question 2

What is a good wagering requirement?

Accepted Answer

Industry average is 30x–40x on the bonus amount. Anything below 20x is considered low and player-friendly. Requirements above 50x are high and make it very difficult to convert the bonus into real withdrawable cash.

Question 3

Does the requirement apply to my deposit or just the bonus?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the casino's terms. Some apply the multiplier to the bonus amount only (better for you). Others apply it to the combined bonus + deposit total (harder to clear). Always check the specific terms — our calculator handles both scenarios.

Question 4

What happens if I don't complete the wagering requirement?

Accepted Answer

If you withdraw before completing the requirement, the casino will typically remove the bonus and any winnings derived from it. Your original deposit is usually returned, but check the casino's terms to be sure.

Question 5

Do all games count equally towards wagering?

Accepted Answer

No. Slots usually contribute 100% towards wagering. Table games like blackjack and roulette often contribute only 10%–20%, and some games may be excluded entirely. Always check the game contribution table in the bonus terms.

Question 6

Is there a time limit to complete wagering?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most casinos set a deadline of 7–30 days to complete the wagering requirement. If you don't clear it in time, the bonus and any associated winnings are forfeited. The calculator does not account for time limits, so always check the casino's terms.
