Understanding How Online Casino Bonus Wagering Requirements Work

Meta: If you’ve ever wondered why online casino bonuses come with wagering requirements attached, you’ve come to the right place. 

For many players, the most confusing thing about online casino bonuses is the wagering requirement policy. Wagering requirements are attached to almost every online casino bonus to stop players from withdrawing their free bonus money as soon as they receive it. 

If Wagering requirements weren’t attached to bonuses, most operators would go out of business – it would be more like giving away ‘free money’. Let’s take a closer look at how online casino bonus wagering requirements work. 

Understanding wagering requirements

The wagering requirement, which some online casino owners and players describe as a playthrough requirement or rollover requirement, is the amount of money a player must wager before they can withdraw any winnings that have been made from their bonus. 

Some online casino bonuses come with just a 25x wagering requirement attached, and others might come with a 30x, 35x, 40x, or 50x wagering requirement attached. You can occasionally find some casino bonuses with a 1x to 20x wagering requirement and others with a 60x, 70x, or higher wagering requirement. 

Always remember; the lower the bonus wagering requirement, the better it is for you, and the quicker you will be able to complete them. You can then complete your wagering requirements by playing the casino games from your preferred device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer). 

An example of how wagering requirements work

Let’s just say that you have just accepted a 100% sign up bonus slots offer that’s worth up to $/€/£100.00 and that it comes with a 50x wagering requirement (which is fairly common). 

In this case, you can double up on your first deposit up to the value of $/€/£100. If you claim this bonus and deposit $/€/£50.00, the $/€/£50.00 free bonus money will instantly be credited to your account, so your new account balance displays $/€/£100.00 (including your $/€/£50.00 deposit + $/€/£50.00 bonus money). 

At this point, the wagering requirement policy comes into play. For example, you would now need to wager your $/€/£50 bonus money at least 50x times (on selected games) before you could withdraw any winnings you make from your bonus. Therefore, you would need to wager $/€/£2,500. 

You will also find that the deposit amount also has to be wagered on top of the bonus amount, which means you would need to wager a total of $/€/£2,550 before you can withdraw. 

How long do I have to complete the wagering requirements?

The time you have to complete your wagering requirements will vary from one online casino to the next, but it’s never more than one month. It could be 24 hours, several days, or one month. While you are completing them, you wouldn’t be able to make a withdrawal. 

Upon completing your wagering requirements, the withdrawal restrictions placed on your account will be lifted, and any winnings you have left over will be yours to keep. For example, you can now play more games and try to win more money or withdraw your bonus winnings. 

What to remember when completing wagering requirements

Always remember to take a few minutes to read through the terms and conditions of a bonus you have just accepted or are about to accept because it will reveal exactly which games contribute more towards completing your wagering requirements than others per $/€/£1.00 or $/€/£10.00 wagered. 

For example, most table & card games, such as live dealer games, blackjack, and roulette, may not contribute anything towards completing them, whereas online scratchcards and more than half of the slots at the casino will contribute 100% towards completing your wagering requirements. 

To find out how much money you have left to wager before you have completed your wagering requirements, you can contact player support, who should be able to tell you. 

Alternatively, you can find this information in the ‘My Account’ or ‘My Bonuses’ section of the casino when logged in to your account. Unfortunately, wagering requirements are annoying, but you cannot avoid them when accepting a bonus.
