Wagering Calculator
Calculate total wagering, expected loss, and a rough profitability estimate based on bonus size, wagering multiplier, and RTP.
Calculator
We estimate expected loss using RTP as a long-run average. This tool is for comparison, not a guarantee.
Results
Expected loss = Total wagering × (1 - RTP). Some promos apply wagering to deposit + bonus - toggle it above if needed.

How wagering requirements work
Wagering requirements (also called playthrough) define how much you must bet before you can withdraw bonus-related funds. Most offers apply wagering to the bonus amount only, but some promotions require wagering on deposit + bonus - always check the Terms and Conditions.
RTP (return to player) is a theoretical long-run average. Your real results may vary due to volatility, but RTP is still a useful baseline when comparing offers: lower wagering and higher RTP generally improve your chances of finishing with a withdrawable balance.
Tips to reduce wagering pain
Prefer higher-RTP slots, watch for max bet limits, avoid restricted games, and pay attention to time limits and max cashout rules. If the wagering is high and the offer has a low max cashout, the headline bonus can look better than it actually is.
FAQ
What is a wagering requirement?
A wagering requirement is the amount you must bet before you can withdraw bonus-related funds. It is usually expressed as a multiplier, like x35.
How do you calculate total wagering?
In most cases, total wagering equals bonus amount multiplied by the wagering requirement. Some offers apply wagering to deposit + bonus, so always check the T&Cs.
Is the expected loss accurate?
Expected loss is a mathematical expectation based on RTP. Real outcomes can be higher or lower due to volatility and short-term variance.
