Decoding Wagering Requirements and Game Contributions
If you remember one thing from this guide, let it be wagering requirements. Also known as playthrough or rollover, this is the critical factor for any bonus. You’ll see it written as a multiplier, like 30x or 40x. This multiplier applies either to only the bonus money, or to your deposit plus the bonus. Let’s say you get a $100 bonus with a 30x requirement on the bonus only. You’d need to bet $3,000 before you can cash out any winnings. Bonuses with lower multipliers are simpler to meet, so I always seek out those first. Watch out for the “deposit + bonus” type—it forms a much bigger target and is usually a tougher deal for you.
