What 'wagering' means
A wagering (or playthrough) requirement is the number of times you must stake a bonus before you can withdraw related winnings. A 35x requirement on a £10 bonus means £350 of total stakes.
Game weighting
Not every game counts equally. Slots usually contribute 100%, while table games may contribute 10% or less towards wagering.
Time limits
Most bonuses expire — often within 7 to 30 days. Any unmet wagering is forfeited when the clock runs out.
Look for low or zero wagering
No-wager offers let you keep what you win outright. They're rarer, but far better value.

Gambling should be fun, never a way to make money. Set a budget you can afford to lose and never chase losses. For free, confidential support, visit BeGambleAware.org. 18+ only.
