Wagering Requirement Calculator

Wagering requirements specify how many times you must bet the bonus amount before withdrawing. A $100 bonus with 30x wagering means you must place $3,000 in total bets before cashing out any bonus winnings.

Not all games count equally toward wagering requirements. Slots typically contribute 100%, while blackjack might only contribute 10%. Playing blackjack with a 10% contribution means you need to wager 10x more to clear the same requirement.

Calculate the expected loss during wagering and subtract it from the bonus amount. If expected loss exceeds the bonus value, the bonus is negative expected value. This calculator performs that analysis automatically.

Slots contribute 100% to wagering and have higher house edges (3-10%), which means players lose more during wagering. This makes the bonus less valuable while appearing generous. Table games with lower edges threaten casino profitability on bonuses.

Under 20x is excellent and usually +EV. Between 20-35x is typical and requires analysis. Over 40x is aggressive and often results in negative expected value, especially if you play low-contribution games.

Time depends on game speed and bet size. At $5/spin on slots (500 spins/hour), clearing $3,000 in wagering takes about 1.2 hours. The same wagering at blackjack ($5/hand, 70 hands/hour) takes about 8.6 hours.

For fastest clearing: play 100% slots. For lowest expected loss: play the lowest-edge game with the highest contribution percentage. Video poker or blackjack minimize losses but take longer due to lower contribution rates.

Yes, enable comparison mode to evaluate two bonuses with different amounts and wagering multipliers using the same game plan. The comparison table shows which bonus delivers better net value.
