Wagering requirement: definition and example
How many times a sum must be bet before bonus winnings can be withdrawn: x35 on the bonus, x30 on deposit + bonus…
Definition
Wagering, or the wagering requirement, is the main condition of a casino bonus. It is expressed as a multiplier (x30, x35, x40…) applied to a basis: the bonus alone, the deposit alone, or the deposit plus the bonus. Until it is met, winnings from the bonus cannot be withdrawn.
Example
With a €100 bonus and wagering of x35 on the bonus, you have to bet €3,500 before you can withdraw. If the same x35 applies to the deposit plus the bonus (€200), you have to bet €7,000, twice as much.
What to check
Always look at the wagering basis, the game contribution, the maximum bet allowed and the validity period: these decide whether the offer is playable.
