Understanding Wagering Requirements

Wagering requirements are the single most misunderstood part of any casino bonus. Here's how they really work.

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.

Remember

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.
