What are wagering requirements and how do they work?

"Playthrough" or "Rollover" are requirements players must meet before they can withdraw any winnings from a promotion. This is standard in the industry and is there to prevent player's from cashing out "free money" offered by the casino.  

If you claim a Free Chip, the playthrough amount will apply to the chip amount.

For example: $10 (chip) x 40 (Playthrough) = $400 (it represents the amount you need to wager to withdraw the free chip

The amount that you wager is applied to the playthrough amount of your bonus.


For example: your bonus has a "playthrough" or "wagering requirement" of $1,000

If you make a $50 wager and win, and then make another $50 wager and lose, your total "playthrough" is $100 with a remaining "playthrough" of $900.

Playthrough requirement
$1,000
$50 wager and win
$50
$50 wager and lose
$50
Playthrough remaining before withdrawing money
1,000 - (50+50) = $900


The wagering requirement is calculated differently, depending on the type of promotion you claim.


Here are some examples:

Example 1: % Match Bonus

Match Bonuses require a deposit made by the player and matched up to a given percentage by the casino.

Player deposit $25
100% match equals a $25 promotion
$25
Wagering requirement 20x (deposit+bonus) 20 x (25+25) = $1,000


The deposit from the player is $25, which means a 100% match equals a $25 promotion. The player has a total of $50 to play with. This promotion has a wagering requirement of 20x. Which means 20x your Deposit + Bonus.

This means that before you can withdraw, you must wager $1000 on the allowed games of the promotion

.

Example 2: 25 Free Spins

Free Spins are free wagers the player gets on one specific game. Once the free spins are finished, the promotion may require a deposit to receive your winnings and wagering requirements on the winnings.

You won  $100
Wagering requirement 20x 20 x 100 = $2,000


Assume you won $100 on Free Spins, and the wagering requirement might be 20x your winnings. This means that before you can withdraw the $100 winnings, plus any winnings you receive while wagering - you must wager $2,000 on the allowed games of the promotion.


Lastly, always confirm the wagering required for specific games on a given promotion, since not all wagers on that game are directly applied to the requirements.

Keep in mind, some games may only apply 50% of the wagering to the playthrough requirements (for example, Blackjack, Video Poker, etc.) - meaning that if you place a $2 bet on one hand, $1 of that bet is counted toward the promotion's terms.
