Bonus wagering, also called a wagering requirement, is the number of times you must bet a bonus amount (or bonus + deposit) before you can withdraw any winnings generated from it.
It is expressed as a multiplier, for example:
If the wagering requirement is 35x and you receive a $100 bonus, you must place $3,500 in total bets before withdrawal is allowed.
In some cases, the requirement applies to bonus funds only. In others, it applies to bonus + deposit. The terms specify which model is used.
Key variables that affect wagering:
- Contribution rates – Slots often contribute 100 percent, while table games may contribute 10 percent or less.
- Maximum bet limits – Casinos usually cap the size of bets while wagering is active.
- Time limits – Bonuses typically expire within a fixed number of days.
- Game restrictions – Certain games may be excluded from contributing.
Lower wagering requirements reduce risk and increase the probability of converting bonus funds into withdrawable cash.
