Wagering requirements
Wagering requirements are the single condition that decides whether a bonus is worth claiming, yet most players skip past them. Understanding the rollover, the contribution rates and the clock behind an offer tells you how realistic a withdrawal actually is. See the full bonus guide for the individual offers.
Wagering requirements
Wagering requirements are the number of times you must bet a bonus before the winnings become withdrawable cash. A 35x requirement on a €20 bonus means you have to place €700 in bets before you can cash out. The lower the multiplier, the easier the bonus is to clear, so it is the first figure worth checking in the terms.
How wagering works
To picture how wagering works, imagine the casino tracking every qualifying bet you place until the total reaches the required amount. Only real wagers on eligible games count towards it, and it usually runs from the moment the bonus lands in your account. Once you have wagered the full amount, any remaining bonus balance converts to real money you can withdraw.
Game contribution
Game contribution is the percentage each game type adds towards clearing the requirement. Slots like Hot Slice typically count 100%, so every euro staked moves you a full euro closer, while table games and live titles often contribute 10% or nothing at all. Betting on a low-contribution game can freeze your progress, so stick to the games listed at full weight.
Time limit
The time limit is the window you have to complete the wagering before the bonus expires. It is commonly seven to thirty days, and any unmet balance and its winnings are stripped once the clock runs out. Work out whether the requirement is realistic in that period before you opt in, because a tight deadline can make a large bonus impossible to clear.
Bonus balance
Your bonus balance is the credit kept separate from your own deposited funds until the wagering is done. Most casinos spend your real cash first and only draw on the bonus balance afterwards, and a max-bet cap usually applies while it is active. Nothing from the bonus balance can be withdrawn until the requirement is fully met, so treat it as locked funds in the meantime.

Bonus Wagering Explained Step by Step
Playthrough is the total amount you must stake before bonus money becomes withdrawable cash: the casino multiplies the bonus by a set factor and tracks your progress automatically. That is the core of bonus wagering explained in plain words.
Games contribute at different rates — slots usually count in full, while table games add only a fraction. Watch the deadline too: if the playthrough is not finished in time, the bonus and its winnings are voided.
