What is a wagering requirement?

How do you work out a wagering requirement?

Multiply the bonus by the multiple in the terms. Some offers apply the multiple to the bonus and your deposit together, so check which amount it uses.

These are worked examples, not offers from any casino.

What does a wagering requirement cost you on average?

Multiply the total bets by the house edge of the game you play. Betting $1,500 on a game with a 4% house edge costs an average of $60, which would take most of a smaller bonus. It is an average over many bets, and your own result can differ a lot. Our online casino games page lists the house edge by game.

Do all games count toward a wagering requirement?

Often not at the same rate. Michigan requires the terms to set out wagering requirements and limits by game type, and to list eligible games. A bet on a game that counts for only part of its value will take far longer to clear the requirement. Use our wagering calculator to run your own offer.

What should you check before accepting a bonus?

Read these terms before you opt in:

• The multiple, and whether it applies to the bonus or to the bonus and deposit.
• The expiry date.
• Which games count, and at what rate.
• Any maximum bet or maximum win.
• What happens to your balance if you cancel.

Does a wagering requirement apply to your own deposit?

A wagering requirement should not apply to your own deposit in New Jersey unless you have taken a bonus tied to it. New Jersey bars operators from placing wagering requirements on withdrawing a patron's own deposited funds. Gift card deposits are an exception there, with a one-time play-through before withdrawal.
