Understanding Wagering Requirements

A wagering requirement is the multiple of a bonus (sometimes bonus + deposit) you need to bet before you can withdraw any winnings from it. It's the single most important number in any bonus offer.

For example, a 20x wagering requirement on a bonus means you need to place bets totalling 20 times that bonus amount before a withdrawal is unlocked — and until then, those funds usually can't be cashed out even if your balance grows.

Two other details change the real value of a bonus: which games count toward wagering (often slots contribute 100% while table games contribute much less or nothing), and whether there's a maximum bet size allowed while a bonus is active.

Before claiming any deposit reward, find the wagering requirement, the eligible games, and the expiry window on the operator's own terms page. A smaller bonus with fair terms is often worth more than a large one with steep requirements.
